MANY FOUND DEAD IN REMOTE CABIN ABOVE GLENWOOD

     Glen Stephen Lovall, 60, was found dead in his cabin about 12 miles north of Glenwood Saturday afternoon by H.C. Throop of Glenwood. Acting county coroner T.W. Mitchell of Bingen, who went to the scene with Sheriff Ez Kaiser, said Lovall's death came through natural causes. W. M. Davis, secretary of the Hell Roaring Co., also went to the cabin.
     Lovall, a ditch walker, for the Hell Roaring Irrigation Co., was last seen in Glenwood last Tuesday, and was believed dead about four days when his body was discovered, the sheriff said.
     Funeral services for, the deceased were held at the Gardner's Funeral Home Wednesday afternoon, with interment following in the White Salmon Cemetery.
     Lovall lived in a cabin at the head of the Hell Roaring system in Yakima County, and patrolled the ditches, for the company. When water from the system became short last week, Throop went to Lovall's cabin, to investigate the cause.
     Lovall was injured in an auto accident at Glenwood June 19 and was hospitalized for a time thereafter. He was born March 24, 1895.
