thorities on the south Oregon coastare trying to determine why a 34-year-old man lured his father to his death at a remote campsite, then drove to a beach where he shot five vehicles in a parking lot, killing a Michigan camper who was sleeping in his vehicle. The gunman then killed himself, a prosecutor says. When officers went to inform Zachary Brimhall's mother of her son's death, she asked them, 'Where's my husband, Ray?" Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said. That's when they learned that the younger man had called his father, 58-year-old William Ray Brimhall of Dillard, Oregon, on Monday to say his car had broken down at a Coos County campsite and he needed help. Investigators think the elder Brimhall was fatally shot shortly after he reached the campsite Monday night, Frasier said. The older man's body, shot multiple times, was found Tuesday near his vehicle on a remote logging road in the Coast Range.

Kelsey Grammer, center, visited the National Historic Oregon Trail lnterpretive Center in May to film of an episode of "Who Do You ThinkYou Are7" airing tonight at 9 onTLC.
'They were veryfriendly and helpful.Kelsey Grammer himsel f was a very nice man.' Kelly Burns, NHOTIC visitor information specialist, speaking of the special visitor and the film crew
Burns said that it's actually quite common for NHOTIC visitors to come in looking for information aboutrelatives. This isn't exactly easy. "People sometimes believe that we must have a list somewhere," of trail migrants, "but that doesn't exist anywhere," she said. Burns likened the migrants'journey to a modern family moving out of their house. ''When you rent a U-Haul to move, there's no sign-out sheet for your house when

you leave," she said. So while it's possible to use peripheral resources like diaries, letters, and landdeeds to piecetogether estimates of who journeyed West on the trail, Burns said that"that's not close to everybody who came." All in all, Burns said that the May filming session appeared to be a big success. "iGrammerl was appreciative to find out what he knew," she said. "He felt he and his wife would do more researching on their own."

U.S. Forest Service is continuing to remove wild horses from the Murderers Creek section of the Malheur National Forest but is holding offon aggressive action until a new environmental impact statement is finished. Lastyear,aspartofa settlement to a lawsuit brought by Grant County ranchers, the agency agreed to gradually reduce the number of wild horses in the area until it is within the range it says the area can healthily support, known as the Allowable Management Level, or AML. The AML for the 62,000acre range was set at 50 to 140 horses in the 2007 wild horse herd management plan. The agency is working on a new planning document, Tom Hilken, the Forest Service's range program manager for the Pacific Northwest region, said last week. See HORSES /Page A3
