VICTIMS CD MAD
WHEN TRAPPED
IN DEATH VALLEY
Tragedies Of Lower California
Desert Told by Bodies of
Overwhelmed Men.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20.-The
recent death OF Peter A Busch. a COL
orado miner. in Death Valley. recalls
many instances of the treacherv OF
mat portion OF California which was
denominated by the early tribal In
ulans as the valley Of Fire"
Inc Piutes, WashOe and other tribes
In early days condemned their crfrni-
nails to the country surrounding Death
valley When an outlaw Indian yio-
lated the most sacred laws of his tribe
ne was condemned to the Valley Of
FIRE, where he was expected soon to
perish.
OF the hundreds Of bodies found in
Death Valley, where men persisted
from heat and thirst, they are almost
universally naked to the waist. The
trail made by the men before death
also shows a circuitous course.
At a certain stage, after being at
tackled by the heat, the person begins
to run and claw at his breast. First
his hat is abandoned. Then he begins
to claw at his shirt, and finally tears
II from him
Then he turns in a circuitous route
and narrows the circuit until finally
he falls exhausted in a heap and
never rises again. Delirium comes on
instantly.
It is presumed that the terrible suf-
fertng from the heat and thirst feels
like a load on his lungs and makes
breathing difficult, and that the vic
tim tmagtnes by running he is getting
away from the thing. and that in
clawing or his upper garments he is
releasing the weight.
Scientists who have visited Death
Valley in warm weather and had A
touch OF the heat state that the ex-
traordinary effect OF the heat there IS
caused by the peculiar situation Of
Death Valley. II Is from 100 to 400
feet below sea level and is shut IN on
all sides by high mountains
The Panamlnts range shuts out the
moist air from the Pacific Ocean, and
the Funeral and Grapevine ranges
shut out the wind from the slight
vegetation on the eas stern side, so that
the only wind that reaches Death VAL
ley and the atmoenhere Of that region
Is the dryest Of all places on earth: .
that II absorbs from every living
thing. both human and vegetable.
every particle OF moisture.
This is illustrated by the fact that
at certain places in Death Valley,
when the Thermometer is at its high
est-often 1877 degrees IN the shade
a man never can satiate his thiT7J,
As soon as he takes the canteen from
his lips the thirst returns Just as
strong as ever.
When the system IS drained Of all
moisture the brain yields, the victims
| eyes stare like a madman's and he
runs his circuitous course to death.
