JUMPED TO HIS DEATH.
Arthur Higgins Drowned at Bakers
Beach While Searching for the
Body of Stella Hughes.

Arthur Higgins, 1851 Mission street, met
with very sudden death at Bakers Beach
yesterday. He attempted to Jump from
one rock to another, missed his footing
and fell into the water. The undertow
carried him under and he was drowned
before his companions could lend him any
assistance.
The deceased, accompanied by G. Kess-
Ter of 1912 Lexington avenue and o. E.
Fairfield of 1924 Lexington avenue, went
out to the Cliff House early yesterday to
search for the remains of Miss Stella
Hughes. They worked their way around
to Bakers Beach, and there Higgins, who
was a powerful swimmer, took off his
clothes and swan out to some rocks
caught in the eddy. He could not find
any trace of the missing girl and climbed
upon the rock to rest. Thinking he saw
something little further out he called to
his companions and said he was going to
Jump. Kessler warned him not to make
the attempt, but he persisted and failed.
Fairfield warned the life-saving station
and boats crew was sent out. kessler
procured rope and managed to get Hig-
gins ashore. Before the men from the sta
ton arrived, however, the young man was
dead. For over three hours the men
worked over his body in vain attempt to
restore animation and when they found all
their efforts fruitless they sent for the
Morgue wagon.
Higgins was about "a years old and IN
married. When he left home in the morn
ing he was determined to unravel the
mystery of Miss Hughes disappearance.
He was eager to search every nook and
Granny and was far more venturesome
than his companions. 1t was probably
this latter fact that led to his death. The

AT OAKLAND's MORGUE.
The Body of Sydney Smith Arrives

From Rawlins, Wyoming.
Coroner Baldwin is much mystifed over
the body of Sydney Smith, Scotch car
penter. which arrived in Oakland last even
ing from Rawlins, Wyo., where Smith died
on April 26. The death certificate which
accompanied the body stated that the de-
ceased committed suicide by hanging in
the Carbon County Jail, Wyo., but private
kilograms which were received in this city
and the appearance of the body throw
grave doubts on the story.
When examined at the Morgue it was
found that the skull was fractured and that
cut five inches long on the right side of
the neck had been sewed up. The face was
much confused. On April 26 kilograms
were received in Oakland that Smith, who
was en- route to that city, had been killed
in railroad collision. n. w. Leitch of the
