drowned at noon today, in full view of
several hundred bathers and spectators
who thronged the beach. Mach Grant

had gone out through the surf and
was about a quarter of a mile from the
shore. Stahl was tempted beyond the
line of safety by the sight of Grant.
and followed him out. After a quarter
OF an hour both Grant and Stahl started
in. Grant finally reached a point in the
breakers where he could touch bottom.
Then he heard a call from Stahl, who
was still about 100 feet out Grant at
once returned TO Stahl and tried 10 aid
him to get In, but il was no use.
Never mind" said StahI. and Grant
then set out TO save himself. Stahl kept
himself on the surface for perhaps a
quarter of an hour, and then was seen
no more.

INTENSE AMERIcANISM
MAcKAy'S STRONG TRAIT

Henri Labouchere. the famous editor
of Truth, London, once said OF John W.
Mackay: There is the only rich man
1 ever met that / would want TO meet
if he were not a rich man.
This tribute to MIR. Mackay was re-
called last night by Salt Laker VINO
has been Mr.. Maekay's personal friend
for more than forty years. John w.
Mackay was one of the greatest men
ever knew" he continued, "and l am
deeply grieved over his death. Mr..
Mackay came to Virginia City, New, in
the early COS, to work as common
miner He was a man of few words.
but he liked to hear others talk, and l
have known him to sit for hours at a
time. listening to the conversation
about him and enjoying il, although
taking but little part himself.
Long before Mr.. Mackay acquired
great wealth he had builded something
for himself more enduring than wealth
character. 1t was a proYerb in Nir-
ginia City that whenever Mackay said
a thing was so it was so, and that
ended it. His word was accepted with
out the slightest question on any sub
ject. One thing that was most no.
ticeable about Mr.. Mackay was his in
tense Americanism. He was a patriot
of the most thorough type.
He used to tell a story On himself
that illustrates this trait. On one OF
his periodical trips TO Europe he
learned that a band contest was to be
held in some music center, Vienna, per-
haps. Mr.. Mackay was very fond OF
music, and a good judge of IL, too. He
was very proud of the American bands
and always insisted that they were the
best in the world
so, when he learned that no Ameri-
can band was entered in this eompeti-
ton. he promptly cabled 10 Gilmore
then the greatest director in this coun-
try. Offering TO pay ali expenses of the
trip to Europe if Gilmore would agree
to compete. Gilmore cabled an af-
/ firmative reply, and when the time
came around he was on hand with hi:
/ famous musical organization
Greatly TO Mr.. Mackay's delight. hi
won the first prize. Everywhere
\ Mackay went that night ne boastet
about the American band. He carried
an American flag with him, and waved
/ il triumphantly. Finally an English
man called him to one side.

about my American band

today his estate could be figured at
not less than $500o0.00o.
