The body was brought to Hebron Thursday afternoon and funeral services will be held Friday afternoon. ============= LLOYD BARNES KILLED SUNDAY L.W. Foister of Salkum Mistakes Barnes For Deer In Brush. One man, Lloyd Barnes, 29, was killed and his companion in a pre-season deer hunting accident, L.W. Foister, 39, faces a manslaughter charge in superior court as the result of a week end trip the two made to the upper Lucas crek (sic) district, about 25 miles east of Chehalis. Barnes and Foister, both of whom were employed by the Palmer Lumber Company of this city, left Saturday, taking packs with them and camping out over night. Report is that Sunday morning, after having breakfast, they agreed on which way they would travel and started through the timber. Barnes was said to have taken a different route than the one scheduled. Foister saw his companion's yellow pack moving in a clump of brush about 100 yards distant and fired one shot with his 25-35 rifle. Barnes cried out, "Who shot me? I'm shot." When Foister reached Barnes he was found to have been wounded in the left side, the bullet emerging near the right clavicle. Foister tried to help Barnes a short time. Realizing, however, that the latter was dangerously hurt he left the wounded man and fought his way through the forest to the nearest telephone at a farm house on upper Lucas creek (sic). Sheriff J.A. Blankenship, Deputy S.R. Jackson, J.W. Boone and Dr. L.G. Steck left hurriedly for the scene. A group of about a dozen farmers joined them and Foister undertook to lead the party to where he had left Barnes. The location was hard to find and about two hours time was lost in the search. When the officers reached Barnes he was dead. The work of carrying the body from the woods was unusually difficult, due to the heavy timber. Fallen trees, steep hills and deep ravines made the trip especially hard and it was several hours before the highway was reached. The body was brought to Boone's Mortuary. Although the accident occurred mid-forenoon, it was about half-past 11 o'clock before Foister was able to telephone to the sheriff's office. It was after 9 o'clock in the evening before Mr. Blankenship and the other of his party were able to reach Chehalis. Foister was not placed under arrest, but was allowed to return home, with instructions to report to Sheriff Blankenship Monday morning, which he did. Later in the day Deputy County Attorney Lloyd Dysart filed a manslaughter charge against Foister. Several legal elements of an unusual nature entered into the case. Neither man had a hunting license, according to Mr. Dysart; also, the men were admittedly engaged in hunting deer out of season. Attorney Dysart submitted to the court a statement that Foister had admitted the above facts. The deer season is October 20 to November 1, inclusive. Under the law a manslaughter charge was required automatically against Foister. Superior Judge C.A. Studebaker fixed Foister's bail at $2000. Unable to post same he was committed to the custody of Sheriff Blankenship. The court announced that an attorney to defend Foister would be named by the court and that his plea would be received yesterday morning. Foister, whose home is a Balkum, has a wife and three children. He is badly affected by the tragic affair. Lloyd LeRoy Barnes, victim of the shooting, was born in Reynolds, Neb., February 10, 1906. He had resided locally about a year, the family home being in the Napavine district on R. 3, Chehalis. A pathetic feature of his death is that the widow, Mrs. Lillys Barnes and four children, whose ages range from three to eight years, are left without a husband and father. There are two sons, Donald and Kenneth Barnes and two daughters, Lillys Mae and Velma Faye Barnes. Other surviving relatives are Barnes' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willard Barnes of Hubbell, Neb.; three brothers, Chester and Ralph Barnes of Hubbell and Glenn Barnes, whose home is in California; and three sisters, Mrs. Theora Shaub of Powell, Neb. and Mrs. Marie Griffin and Mrs. Ralph Hawkins of Hebron, Neb. Barnes' body was shipped to Hubbell, Neb., Tuesday evening. Mrs. Barnes and her children also returned on the same train. Funeral services will be held and burial made at Hubbell. Local residents who assisted Sheriff Blankenship and party greatly in carrying Barnes' body from the forest were Ben Deskins, Fred McIntire, Louis Miller, Edward Miller, Frank Hodges, Wesley Hodges, Bill Hodges, Elmer Milton, Ernest Johnson and Max Hopp. When Foister was arraigned yesterday he was represented by Grant Armstrong as attorney. A not guilty plea was entered. The court released the defendent on his own recognizance, so that he may return to work and support his family. Officers for the state agreed to his being permitted to go as above stated. The Chehalis Bee-Nugget (Chehalis, Washington), Friday, September 27, 1935; pg. 1
