Lundberg's S Death
Caused by Blow,
N OF by Thirst
Coroher's Verdict Gives In
jury Inflicted by Winch
Handle as Reason for Ath-
Iete's Demise.
YOUTH WAS NEAR RANCH
Body Found Near Road Few
Miles From Yount Place;
Lad Had Hiked More Than
Seventy Miles.
After the prodigious feat of hiking

more than rs miles over the rough
desert country near the Potosi mine
in three days, without water and
under the midsummer sun William
Lundberg, San Diego college ath-
lete, Succumbed some time during
the day Tuesday just before being
reached by reScucrS who had been
searching unremittingly for him
during two days and nights, and
within a few miles of Johnny
Yount's ranch.
Lundberg was found by DR.. o. D.
Thomas, of the PotoSi mill, and
Roy Creede at about three o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. He was lying
on his back with his arms ex-
tended. 1t is believed he had not
been dead more than a few hours,
because the body was not at all
stiffened.
His tongue was in place and his
body was not dry in the least, ac-
cording to Doctor Thomas, indicat-
ing he had not been dead for long.
The end came after LUndberg had
removed his shoes and had hiked
Is miles barefoot down the YountS'
road. He died at point approx
mately Is miles northwest of the
Green Monster mine, it was esti-
mated by members of the searching
party who brought the body to Las
Vegas
He had left the road for short
distance and started back again to
the road when he fell.
At the point where he had left his
shoes, Lundberg had sat i'll the
shade of a joshua tree for more than
an hour, moving several times to
keep in the shade, according to
signs found in the earth near the
tree.
Lundberg left the PotoSi mine
camp Saturday afternoon, taking a
sudden impulse, seemingly, brushing
everyone aside and striking out up
the side of a cliff.
His strange and fatal journey, il
is believed was caused by blow he
had received on the temple Wednes-
day from a winch handle while
working at the Potosi.

athletes we're spending the summer
working at the mine to keep IL
training for their athletics wher

An autopsy held Tuesday even

judged the cause of his death, anC
the exposure brought about by hi
