The body of David R. Thomas of Portland, who was drowned while fishing near the falls April 29, was recovered from the
Willamette river Sunday.

As William Smith of Park place and another employe of the Crown Willamette Paper company were working on a tower about 75 feet
from the stream, Smith saw the body floating on the river. The men secured a skiff and after tying the body brought it to the
east side shore. The body was taken to an undertaking establishment and found to be that of Thomas, as a fishing license and his
watch were found in his clothing.

Mr. Thomas came to Oregon City April 29 in company with Evan R. Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Thomas of Mount Pleasant.
Late in the day a boat which they had rented was found with a hole in the side some distance from the scene where the men were
supposed to have gone on their fishing trip. Evan Thomas' body was found floating in the river 17 days after the accident
occurred.
