Sheriff Kennard Anderson, whose department along with Search and Rescue had been volunteers combing the canyons and valley floor since Mr. Braithwaites disappearance Tuesday night, said Blake Donaldson, Gunnison, and Tom found Mr. Moroni, Dyches, Braithwaites body while they were looking for likely spots to hunt deer and elk. Because of slides and water damage over the last couple of years, the sheriff says, Canal Canyons road is impassable in many stretches and the creek has cut away several areas of road and even taken over parts of the roadway. Apparently Mr. Braithwaites truck became mired in one such area at the mouth of the canyon. His body was found about five or six miles further up the canyon, leading the searchers to assume that he had spent the first night in the truck and share of the costs of the massive The CUP was water project. authorized by Congress under the 956 Colorado R iver Storage Act and provides that Utah is eligible to receive up to 23 percent of the 7.5 million acre feet the Upper Colorado Ri er Basin w atcr supplies annually. 1 Search for Ephraim man ends with finding of body by voters agreed to $140 million to cover their y School Board approves five home schools by Brace Jennings Don Christiansen, general manager of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, said the water district has considered a November 5 election to coincide with the municipal elections, but switched to November 19 because of peculiarities in Utah law which could be interpreted to forbid holding the water election on the same day as a general election. had hiked further up the mountain the following day. Mr. Donaldson notified the sheriff of the location of Mr. Braithwaite's body at about 6:30 or 7 p.m. Saturday night. Sheriff Anderson, along with 24 other Search and Rescue and Sheriffs office personnel, came to the Canal Canyon area with five horses, and the searchers entered the canyon in the dark to bring out the body. Because of the conditions of the terrain, it was necessary, the sheriff said, to use horses or walk, with only flashlights to show the way. The rescuers brought Mr. Braithwaite's body out of the canyon at about 5:30 Sunday morning. No report citing the cause of death has yet been issued by the State Medical Examiner, the sheriff said early this week, but it appeared that Mr. Braithwaite may have expired due to exposure and the exertion of hiking so far from his truck.
