August Kaufman, automobile
tourist from Pasadena, Cal, was
found ON the desert 80 miles west of
Congress Junction, 40 miles south of
here, by Mohave county officers. The
man had persisted from thirst and ex-
posture, after wandering for Y hours
in search Of water.
Kaufman, with his wife and three
children, was travelling overland from
Pasadena to little ranch in Pinal
county. He took short cut between
Yucca and Congress Junction.
The supply Of water became low,
SO Kaufman left his car and started
afoot in search of fresh supply.
For 4S hours the wife and three
children remained in the machine
awaiting his return. Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Ruddy, en- route from Yucca to
their ranch near by, succored the
stranded family.
Searchers for Kaufman traced him
from his car to the spot where the
body was found. In his travels, he
had passed within so yards of an arti-
fetal reservoir OF water for sheep
and cattle, the searchers said.

From her lookout the Continental
divide can be seen stretching through
Wyoming and Colorado. The entire
Medicine Bow range and Continental

can see hundred miles. She some
times is able to observe incipient

it was days before he recovered. He
never regained his strength until his
hair grew back again.
'"The second time we tried to cut
Donald'S hair he was in school and
was about seven years old. He was
so sick that time that we had to take
him out of school. The illness is of
peculiar nature. Donald loses his
strength and gets high fever. Then
he loses all interest in things and falls
into stupor. About year later we
tried for the last time to trim off the
ends of his hair, but even that made
the boy sick for a week.
