Mayor Chris Phelps and J.O. Walker Lose Lives in Accident In Nevada
Soda Springs Mayor, Christopher Henry Phelps, 52, and his companion,
James O. Walker, 76, a long-time rancher of this area died Friday night
when their car rolled into Lake Mead at Overton boat landing on State
Route 12, northeast of Las Vegas. It was believed by investigating
officers that Phelps and Walker missed the turn in the road that led to
their boat landing, and drove their car into the lake, where it came to
rest in several feet of water. Both men escaped from the car. Mr.
Walker make it to shore and evidently suffered a heart attack while
going for help. Mayor Phelps did not get to shore, and evidently
drowned. The accident happened at night. The two men were on a
fishing trip in the Lake Mead area.
