FELL THREE HUNDRED FEET
Prof. Mcclure Killed While Ass
Cending Mt. RAINIER

Tacoma, July 3O.-Prof. Ed
gar Mcclure of the Oregon State
University at Eugene, fell 300
feet over a precipice on Mount
RAINIER late on Tuesday night
and was killed. Every bone in
his body was broken. He belongs
ed to d party which was ending
one of the most successful as
cents ever made. At an altitude
of about 5, 900 feet the party got
off the trail. Mcclure went in
search Of it, Others followed.
but he warned them to go back,
as the place was too steep. Just
then the snow gave way under
him and he fell. The body was
recovered yesterday. Mcclure
was one of the most successful
mountain climbers of the Pacific
coast, and was to be made Presi-
dent of Oregon University. The
Mazama party of fifty climbers,
Of which he was one, will return
at once instead of camping out
two weeks.
DR.. De Witt Connell of Port>
land, Or, McClure's trading
companion, believes every bono
in the Professors body was
broken by the fall, His face was
lacerated and his skull was frac>
tured. His blankets, which he
carried in roll on his back,
were ripped into ribbons and his
instruments for testing the velo-
fcity of the wind and the atmos-
phere for the Government were
crushed to atoms. The force of
the fall was SO great that the
body rebounded and shot off
forty feet from the point where
it struck the rocks.
Prof. Mcclure was married and
about 80 years of age. He had
charge of the government scien-
tifc department of the annual
mountain climbing expedition OF
the Mazamus, the coast Alpine
society. He and his friends did
not 60 with the regular party, who
numbered fifty, and which made
the ascent and descent in safety,
using line. The Mcclure party
used no life line, and that reckless
ness and travelling by night, ac
counts for the accident. In the
darkness the party lost the trai
on the Muir glacier. Mcclure
) warned his companions to be care
r full, and started to reach wha
looked like pile of rocks few
! feet away. The rocks were ovel
3 a hundred feet below. Webster
, Pendleton, while looking over ont
of the precipices, became partly
deranged and could not ascend th'
