Show KmirttH'n Iagf 'Hit1 Pyramid - Octolx-- r 11. 1DK2 Storms aftermath leaves tales of courage - In an operation MT. PLEASANT as big as that during the first week of the month when thousands of sheep were stranded, hunters were snowed in and men lost in Sanpete, individual stories are often lost in the shuffle. Such was the case of the men from Spring City who rescued two lost hunters found to be in desperate straits, and a number of others along with their equipment. Mrs. Evaneal Allred of Spring City kept a diary of the events involving Spring City men starting Sept. 30 when the first attempt was made to get to men stranded in camps on the mountain in as much as four feet of snow. Her diary starts the story on that day at 5 p.m. noting that Lonnie Brewer and Dave Sorensen had ridden horses down to get help. Snow came up to their horses shoulders they said. At least 44 men were stranded in Sern Petersons meadow, Mrs. Allred noted. Glen Osborne had called down that many men were stranded. Mrs. Allred Says Tom Crisp took a D8 tractor up Spring City Canyon to get them out. Ed Thompson called down and said there were 30 in their camp in New Canyon but they were not snowed in and could go down Ephraim Canyon which the Forest Service was keeping open. Snow Persists Rain and snow persisted and the men at throughout Oct. Glen Osborne's camp came out after Tom Crisp reached them. They chained all four wheels of their vehicles and could only make two miles per hour. Tom then went on to Block Canyon and got Lee Ray Sorensen and his bunch out, Mrs. Allred Wrote. Crisp was supposed to return home that night but a search after he failed to appear was finally called off at 11 p.m., and he was located the next norning. Jay Dahl is still in Scad Valley searching for a lost hunter, Mrs. Allred noted. Oct. 2 the sun shone and the National Guard came in with their big equipment and helicopters to 1 tried to talk him down but he would not move because he thought it was his imagination Mrs. Allred noted, and he was afraid to go down the hill for fear he could not get back up to where he had shelter in the rocks. The men kept talking to him and finally reached him. He had also been out five days and said he couldnt make it. They assured him anyone who had been out that long could make it to the snowmobile. His feet were frozen and all his toes blue and he told the men he had put coals in his shoes to try to dry them, then dumped the coals out and put his shoes on again. When they all arrived at Reader the next day, he said he could drive his own truck out. 8 digs way in Tom Crisp led the way back to the break roads and drop hay to the sheep. Frank Allred, Chad and DeVon Beck, Dick Allred, and Keith Bunnell left that morning to see if they could get the hunters, sheep and trailers out at Reader. Tom Crisp was trying to reach them with Mrs. Allred says, his tractor. Neither the hunters or horses have come home so they are still on Reader and no way they can get out until a road is cleared through at least four feet of snow. Oct. 3 - Frank Allred, the two Becks, Dick Allred and Bunnell again went up to try to find the stranded hunters and found one hunter who had been lost for five days. Stranded hunter writes death note The hunter, Nole Payne from Salt Lake was taken back to camp put to bed and fed chicken soup every four hours. In a note Payne had written his wife because he expected to die before he was found, he said I have been lost for five days, my feet are frozen and my lips are all swollen. My hands are burned because my coat caught on fire and I put it out with my hands. I had one and a half bodies of shells. I have shot three in the morning, three at noon, and three at night for five days. I have had no food but Im not hungry. I have eaten snow until my lips are swollen. I am sorry I have to do this but I have one shell left and if Im not found by 5, Ill have to take my life. I cannot go on like this. I have written HELP in the snow and lined it with pine boughs, set a tree on fire hoping some one would see the smoke, and the Lord is with me because when the tree fell it fell on the fire and kept it going for several hours. Expresses love Payne expresssed his love for his wife and children and signed his name. While the searchers were looking for Payne on snowmobiles, they heard someone call up from Pelican Creek. They finally located a man who said his name was Harlan. They D-- it ' . MmS mt f iti SgSfk mvm i( Whole towels59 40( off 84 oz. RICE I39 I59 STEW oz.

The searchers made a road to CD hill and down past the Varmint Camp looking for sheep because some of the hunters said they had heard some in Dry Basin. Oct. 7 The Becks went back to Joes Valley to look for sheep, Mrs. Allred wrote. By that time most of the largest herds had come off the mountain, but many had lost numbers of sheep. Mrs. Allred pointed out that these men had spent their own time and money helping someone else and while she said, I know none of them would want any recognition for it, I think people should know what they Choc. & Malt 9 oz. 0VAL- - TOILET 462-249- Dr. Craig lloldaway Frank Allred said in some places the wheels werent even turning as they came off, just sliding on the axles because the ruts were so deep, according to Mrs. Allreds diary. Oct. 4 and 5 was spent trying to get in more efforts to get into the camps to get the stranded men out. Mrs. Allred notes there was rain and more snow on the mountain. She writes, "There are nine camps on Reader with I dont know how many men in each. Tom (Crisp) should get to them today. DeVon Beck had reported they were almost out of fuel but a call to the Sheriffs office brought the reply that they could not help, that the helicopter was only dropping hay to the sheep, and that the office had no communication with the helicopter.
