Obituary: TRUCK WRECK KILLS TWO BOW HUNTERS
Pickup Plunges 300 Yards Down Steep Mountainside
Bacchus - A half-day search for two missing Salt Lake County deer hunte r s climaxed Sunday at 1:20 p.m. when their broken bodies were found o n a m ountainside two miles west of Bacchus.
The men apparently were killed Saturday when their four-wheel-drive pick u p truck tumbled 300 yards down the mountainside.
The dead men were Calvin Reed Bartholomew, 37, 4320 S. 4000 West and Eug e ne Peterson, 43, 3157 W. 3100 South, both of Granger. They were the fir s t fatalities of the infant bow hunting season.
The vehicle was torn to pieces as it plunged down the steep mountain o n t he south side of Coon Canyon.
One body was about 25 yards from the largest part of the truck, and th e o ther another 25 yards up the mountainside.
The wreckage was found by Sheriff's Deputies Pete Kutulas and Darrell Br a dy, who were operating with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Jeep Patrol.
The patrol had 16 jeeps searching the Oquirrh Mountains from west of Mag n a to Butterfield Canyon, south of Bingham.
Deputies Brady and Kutulas said they had followed the tracks of the vict i m's truck up a fire break on the ridge line to the south of Coons Canyo n.
The hunters apparently drove to the end of the fire break and while atte m pting to turn around lost control of the vehicle.
It plunged down the mountain. The truck appeared to have turned over sev e ral times as it crashed through scrub oak two to three feet high, the t w o deputies said.
Wreckage and belongings of the two men were scattered the full distanc e o f the plunge, and the rear wheels landed 50 yards beyond where the tr uc k body stopped on the bottom of a draw.
Mr. Bartholomew and Mr. Peterson had left Saturday about 1 p.m. to go b o w and arrow hunting for deer in the mountains. Mr. Bartholomew told hi s w ife that they would be gone only for a couple of hours, and they di d no t take any water, food or heavy coats with them.
About 10 p.m. Mrs. Bartholomew contacted Mrs. Peterson, who did not kn o w where the two men had gone.
The Sheriff's office was notified Sunday at 2 a.m.
When a search by deputies did not locate the missing men, the Jeep Patr o l was called in at 9:58 a.m.
Justice of Peace D. S. Walker, who was at the scene, said it was appare n t that both men were killed almost instantly.
Salt Lake County sheriff's officers said the two deaths would not be cou n ted as traffic fatalities.
Aiding in the search were three light airplanes of the Utah National Gua r d which skimmed the ridges and valleys to direct the searchers to the s ce ne where Deputies Brady and Kutulas were waiting.
To bring the victim's bodies up the steep hillside, searchers had to t i e long nylon ropes to the litters and then to a jeep on the ridge. Th e li tters then were supported by searchers as the jeep pulled.
This procedure saved possemen several hours of work, said Walter Fox, se c ond in command of the Jeep Patrol.
Eugene Allen Peterson was born in South Jordan Dec. 26, 1917, a son of H e nry J. and Marvel Ray Peterson.
He attended South Jordan Elementary School, Jordan High School, South Hi g h School and the University of Utah.
