COUNTY SAFETY COUNCIL ORGANIZED HERE
Young Explorer To
Make Hazardous Trip

WV THIN the next few weeks,
wv Henry G. Slaughter, 28-year-,
old naturalist and explorer, OF
Washington. D. c., will trundle a
bicycle out onto the new Fan
American Highway and begin an
expedition down the continental
divide. He will attempt to COM
plete the first overland journey IN
history FROM the United States to
Panama.
This will be the second time that
young Slaughter has attempted the
hazardous trip. His first venture
took place last winter, but was
thwarted by the combined efforts
of the Guatemalan rainy season
and the Guatemalan governments
"red tape"
Slaughter left Texas last Dece11-
Der, equipped with tent, hammock
two revolvers, one rifle, ak, knl1e;;
machete "a 1nurderous weapon usea
in this instance for cutting through
underbrush), first aid material,
snake antitoxin, cooking utensils,
emergency water, concentrated tood
capable of sustaining hum 1or
six weeks in the event of an "Emer-
gency landing" He also carries
a Remington Portable typewriter
strapped onto the handlebars of his
bike. The latter item is used by
Slaughter as he rides along open
stretches of road. Many of the
.,o1,,,n;nous notes for a book he is
soon publishing were made IN TINS
manner.
After traversing the mountain
passes and deserts OF Mexlco'
Slaughter arrived in Mexico City
on December 2l, hoping to con-
tinue on at once through the jun
gles of Central America. He reck..
oned without the officials OF
Guatemala, however. 1t seems they
have a law that nobody can cross
their country without a a, special
visa. While they were deliberatlngy
upon his case, Slaughter fingered
on for weeks in the Mexican cap
ital. To pass the time, he wheeled
his bicycle up the 18,OOO-foot ice
and snow capped peak OF Mount
Popocatapetl-a death-defying feat
that had never been accomplished
before. The young explorer says
of this:
lit took me four days to find
a guide who would go with me
on such an expedition and it was
certainly lucky for me that l didn't
try it alone. Once in the ascent l
slipped and the guide, without
hesitation, threw himself across my
body and dug in with his spikes to
hold both of US and the bicycle J,
was pushing If he hadn't acted
promptly l guess I would have
been in the same fix as the tour

FOUND DEAD IN
BED AT HOME

Funeral services for the late Mrs.
Alice Nielsen Logan, 25, wife of Gus
toms Officer Harry Logan. who was
found dead in bed at the Logan
home, 1913 Walnut street, when her
husband returned home from work
at $40 o'clock Sunday morning,
were held Wednesday afternoon at
the Carroon Mortuary.
The services were conducted by
the Christian Science church and
her husband, having been veteran
of the Spanish American and World
wars, interment took place in the
American Legion plot at the No

Besides her husband, Mrs Logan
is survived by a little two and one
half year old daughter, Barbara
Alice, and a grandmother residing
in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
When Mr.. Logan came home
Sunday morning after being on duty
all night as a customs officer, their
baby called to him from the nursery
and asked for a cookie. He went
into Mrs. Logan's room and found
she had passed away. Death was at
tributed to a heart attack. Suf-
fering from asthma she had not
been out much for the past four
weeks but came downtown almost
daily to do her shopping at a local
grocery. On the night she died she
was treated by local physician but
no concern was felt over her con-
dition.
In March of this year Mrs. Lo-
gan took out an insurance policy
with the Equitable Life OF New
York for 81 900 in favor of the little
Logan girl. She passed all physical
examinations and because OF her
young age, was pronounced good
risk.
Mrs. Logan was born in New Jer-
sey in 1910 and came to Nogales
four years ago for relief from
asthma. She met her husband here
and they were married three months
after she arrived in this city
Mrs. Logan was a beautiful and
charming young woman and made
many friends who were deeply
shocked to learn of her unt1mely
