Note: Guy was killed in a car accident when he was 16. His step brother Drew Scribner was driving the car and the road was icy and the car flipped and threw Guy out but the car landed on him. The other people in the car were Carl Stubbs, age 12; and Pat Caldwell, 19 from Bordeaux. Drew and Guy had been at a local bar that night drinking and Guy's brother Gale had been there too. Gale tried to get Guy to go home with him that night, but he wouldn't go with him. [ I have always wondered how these people could be in a bar, but I obviously don't know the whole story-Carol ]
From the office of Thomas L. O'Leary, Lawyer: 10 May 1940.
"Mr. W.K. Yates, Bordeaux, WA. Dear Sir: You are advised that an order was entered this morning in the case of State of Washington vs. Drew Scribner dismissing that suit."
