Leon May, stalwart deputy sheriff, died last Saturday while executing the functions of his office a job that entails almost daily risk of life. Leon was . deeply respected, and loved toy his fellow county officers. That was easily seen Monday in a visit to the sheriff's office, There was little said about Leon. It hurt too much. He was always cool, Sheriff Hyde did say, no matter what was happening he was the same. When the pressure was on, Leon had the same quiet smile. Leon liked water. Just recently he had spent several days fishing on gigantic Lake Meade and he knew Hebgon Lake, Montana from one end to the other. The top deputy sheriff asked for the boat assignment last Saturday morning and Sheriff Hyde put him in charge of the Cutler Dam to Collinston river search. They were looking for a man who had mysteriously disappeared a week earlier near the dam. The search for Wilbur Stirling, which is still going ahead, was one of the most thoroughly organized ever held in the county. For the first two days after the disappearance of Stirling was reported, the water was cut off at the dam. Every hour . three horsemen entered the river at Collinston and road aibreast to the dam. After a short rest they would turn about and go back. On land 50 men were systematically scouring the countryside and other horsemen were work ing the mountains. There was a great deal of em phasis on the river, though, for it was the most logical place. Saturday morning Deputy May rode with Sheriff Hyde from (Brigham City to Collinston where across the river, the wires stretched there to catch the Stirling body if it 6hould float by, were placed across the wide Bear River. Leon had helped string wires that were to later cause his death. After inspecting the wires Sheriff Hyde and Deputy May continued on to Cutler dam. They tested the water for temperature. It was 43 degrees. By now, the dam had filled and water, had to be released. The river was full, Deputy May prepared to leave Jm Ut City, mm ", ,,in the line of duty. I. .
