     Lauri S. Manning, 27, died from the affects of a broken neck at Memorial hospital last Thursday afternoon at 6:15 o'clock.  The accident took place Tuesday when he dived off a bridge into shallow water in Jordan river.
     Lauri was an employee at the Super-Service station at Arthur street and South Ninth avenue, and was helping his brother, Fred Manning, move to Jordan Valley last Tuesday.  The water seemed so inviting when they rerached the Jordan river in the afternoon that the two Manning brothers and Paul and Maurice Robbins, who were with them, decided to go in swimming.  The water looked deep under the bridge, Fred manning said later, and Lauri dived off the bridge.  The other three men in the party thought little of it when he did not come up immediately to the surface, as the young amn was an expert swimmer, and they thought he was swimming under the water.

Failed to Come to Surface

    They decided to investigate, however, when the unfortunate swimmer failed to come up in a reasonable length of time.  They reached the vicinity where he had dived in just as he come up with both hands above his head.  Rescuing him before he sand again, they took him to the river bank.  He seemed to be unable to move any part of his body.
     He was carried to the truck and driven to Jordan Valley, but wa brought back Wednesday to Caldwell and placed in the hospital, where it was found his neck had been broken.
