PERIsHED.- unfortunate has
persisted. A man by the name OF Oscar
Baker, who was making the trip from
New York District, California, to Ell Do
RADIO Canyon, persisted for the want of
water when within about two miles of
the Canyon. There is stretch of barren
country, about eighty miles in length,
between the two points above named,
without water. There used to be a
small spring midway. but it has been
dry this summer. Baker, not knowing
that the spring was dry, started to walk
this eighty miles, and when within a
short distance of his journeys end, per-
ished. Some four or five days after
Baker started another man started across
the same trail on a mule, and came very
near perishing also. On his arrival at
the Canyon he reported about Baker
having started for that place, and upon
learning that Baker did not arrive there,
stated that he smelt fearful stencil,
about three miles out, while he was riding
during the night. Lewis and another
man then went out where the stranger
said he smelt the stencil, and found
the body of o car Baker. The body was
taken and buried.
