LOST IN CATALINA W|LDS
A Los Angeles Lad Suffers the
Tortures of Hunger and
Thirst.
Found by Fishermen After Passing
Four Days in Mountain
FastnesSes.

AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND, July 3D.
After wandering about for four days, sub
sisting on wild cactus fruit and shellfish,
15-year-old Kenneth Powell was found
yesterday. He was in a pitiable plight,
having spent four nights in the wild and
mountainous interior of the island. and
his discovery by fishermen in remote
spot seems almost providential. Kenneth
ran away from his parents because of some
boyish grievance. To-Day, i'll and enact
ated from his long fast, he was glad to
board the little steamer that was to carry
him back to his home in Los Angeles.
The lad tells sufferings that would have
caused the death OF many hardy men.
He slept in cave one night, aud on one
occasion was so nearly. choked with thirst
that he stripped and lay down in the
water on the beach to cool his fevered
body. The boy must have tramped fifty
miles over mountains and cliffs, through
cactus beds whose cruel needles became so
i'm mbedded in the flesh that his legs are one
mass of fostering sores. Poison oak also
claimed him for victim. An overhang-
ing rock fell and struck him on the head
cutting deep cash, and when rescued
yesterday by some fishermen who were
attracted by his cries from the top of
mountain overlooking the sea, he was
wreck of the boy who left here last Satur-
day afternoon in fit of boyish passion,
to wander out on the trail for time in
tending to soon return. He left the path
and never again found it. Fortunately
the boy found spring of water on the
second dav of his wanderings; otherwise
he would have sCccumbed TO thirst. This
morning the boy was sent to his nome in
Los Angeles, whittier his distracted
parents went in despair yesterday.

gleton. formerly a drummer for Stude-
baker Brothers, was shot at this afternoon
by Mrs. N. w. Spencer, who claims to be
his contract wife. The bullet missed its
mark. Mrs. Spencer is now in Jail. She
claims that Singleton deserted her last
January. after sending her to San Fran
CISCO. On the 14th of that month she, in
a fit of dependency, attempted suicide on
Ellis street.
Singleton claims to have first become
acquainted with his Nemesis in Seattle
about q year ago, when he was COM
mercial traveller. His relations with her,
he says, were not of an intimate character
at least not intimate enough to justify
her following him about the country. Sim
gleton alleges that he frequently assisted
her with small sums of money, and he
feieDed ignorance of the cause that led to
an attempt upon his life.
Singleton was recently married, and
when Mrs. Spencer heard of it ST e came
from Seattle to compel a settlement of
some kind with him. Mrs. Spencer, or
Singleton, tonight denied that she came
from Seattle after learning of Singleton's
marriage. She claimed that she has been
here three years and was everywhere liz
troduced by Singleton as his wife, which
she believed herself to be-
1t is doubtful whether Singleton will
prosecute his assailant.
