 The many friends of Miss Nellie | Stone, who has large circle of friends in New Haven, will be rejoiced to learn of her safe return to her home in Santa Barbara, Cal. Miss Stone is daugh- ter of the late George T. Stone, of this city, who was for many years book keeper for Monson & Carpenter, the dry goods dealers, and whose last years were spent in California, whither he re- moved on account of failing health. His widow, the mother of Miss Stone, was Miss Mamie Huntley, of Quinnipiac avenue, Fair Haven, who is still resi- dent of Santa Barbara. Miss Stone was one of the picnic party that met with a tragedy in the mountains near Santa Barbara last Sunday, one of the party, a young lady, losing her life, dying alone when half way up the mountains, while her escort, young man, an artist by profession, named Frederick Lueder, who rushed down the mountains to get a doctor, lost his reason in his excite- ment.
 The young lady, who died on a nar- row trail near the summit of the Santa Ynez mountain range. was Miss Kath- erine Grathwol, young and pretty school teacher of St. Paul. She died of heart disease. ls.
 Miss Grathwol had requested the friends with whom she was making the ascent on horseback to proceed without her after half the distance had been covered, saying she would remain until their return. The party went only two miles and returned, feeling anxious about her. Not finding Miss Grsthwol where she had been left seated, they proceeded a short distance along the trail and found her prostrate body ly- ing in the sun. Efforts to revive her were futile, and she died half an hour later. 5.s
 Mir. Lueder had succeeded in making known that something was wrong with the party and a rescuifig party set out and they found Miss Grathwol's dead body. Later the other missing ones were found. '.7.
 Miss Stone is eighteen years old, She spent year in New Haven recently, visiting relatives and friends, returning home a year ago. Her grandfather is Allen Huntley, of Quinnipiac avenue. now eighty years old. She was, when here, much in the society of her cousins, the Misses Kirby, of Whitney avenue and other young lady friends. ...-
