 AWFUL DEATH
SAD FATE OF A CLIFTON YOUNG MAN ON CATALINA ISLANDS OFF CALIFoRNIA-BoDY FOUND ON A TABLE OF ROCKS.

Hugh Watson, who left Clifton to join in the search for his brother lost a couple of weeks ago on Catalina Island, California, has returned to Cliff ton He reports that the fate of his brother, Lloyd was a deplorable one and his sufferings can only be left to imagination. The body was recovered before he arrived there and the re- mains taken to Los Angeles for burial.
 The exact circumstances which led up to the death of Lloyd Watson will never be known. He left the hotel at Avalon where he was employed and told friend that he was going to gather shells. The supposition is that he went down the beach considerable distance and was caught by the tide, which comes directly against the high, steep mountains. Tired of waiting for the tide to recede he decided to ascend the mountain. He was considered an ex- cellent climber and was possessed of confidence. The heights of the noun, tanis he attempted to climb is estimated at 1850 feet, the most of which is prac. iieally straight up. As his shoes were cut off and his hands badly lacerated tLsre seems to be but little doubt that he attempted the climb.
 The remains were found on shelf i50 feet from the bottom of the noun. tain and from the condition of the mountain side he must have ascended nearly 1900 feet above the shelf Dark ness caught him and he either became exhausted or lost his footing and fell to eternity. It required desperate eff forts and the risking of other lives to recover the body and it is said that the rope which was used in lowering and raising those who went down to the shelf was almost torn in two by the sharp rocks.
 Watson was bright young man ano formerly resided in Clifton, at whicL time he was connected with the A. c. grocery department. He left there a'lit- tie over three years ago and has resided in California ever since. He has many friends in Clifton, who regret his un- timely end.
