YOSEMITE, August 14. Lowering
themselves by means of ropes over the
edge of the cliff until they hung a
thousand feet below the ledge trail at
Glacier Point, five Berkeley school boys
today, at the ri.sk of their lives, discov
ered the body of young Horace K.
Logan, the St. Matthews' College stu
dent, who has been missing for the last
week.
The quintet that took the extreme
hazard to .solve the mystery of the dis
appearance of young Logan were
Adolph ischnack, Frank Warren, Kay
Uyne, Carl Burke, Alvery Littel and
Jack Spivey.
Logan's body was far below the dan
gerous place on the trail to Camp Curry,
wucre the rill of water leaves the ledge
and slides oat over the slippery granite
in a series of "staircase" falls.
Keep Doggedly at Hunt.
Although Major W. Y. Forsythe, act
ing superintendent of Yosemite Na
tional i'ark, felt that to hunt for Logan
over the sheer granite precipice- beiow
Glacier I'oint was an undertaking too
perilous for his cavalrymen, even
though they volunteered for the task,
the five lads entertained no such fears.
Ever since the military authorities
abandoned the search they have kept
doggedly at the hunt.
They explored a ledge 400 feet below
the point where Logan's hat was dis
covered, and later they went still lower,
letting themselves down bv long ropes
and creeping over the cliff in places
where it seemed impossible for a human
being to obtain and keep a foothold.
Id neither of the two main ledges
was any further trace of the lost lad
found, and they were beginning to feel
discouraged, when they decided to make
a final search in the lowest ledge of all.
lining their ropes, they let themselves
down the wall of cliff fully 1000 feet
below the trail, and there, wedged be
tween two boulders, they found the
mangled body of the young student.
Every Bone Broken.
Every bone had been broken in the
fall over the precipice and the rocks
had torn the clothing from the body
until it hung in long ribbons from the
corpse. Death was evidently instan
taneous, and the tumbling, bounding
body had been niangled to a pulp.
The five boys wrapped the body in a
sheet and canvas and hoisted it by slow
degrees-to the ledgetrain, taking their
lives in their hands every moment of
the arduous and dangerous trip. The
young men arrived in camp with their
burden late in the evening.
While the search for. Logan's body
was being thus successfully ended, Mil
ton Rosekranz, uncle of the lost lad,
was speeding toward Wawona, following
up a clew which led him to believe
that the boy had not lost his life over
the cliffs but had gone away with two
tramp companions to enjoy a hobo's
life for a season, or else to follow un
scrupulous captors, who might have
learned that he was the possessor of a
rich, estate and therefore a good prize
to hold for a ransom.
The five boys will divide the $1000
reward which was offered for the dis
covery of the lost boy by Newton Rose
kranz, secretary of Crocker Estate, and
uncle of the lad.
Hoped Until Last.
Miss Idaline Rosekrans, Logan's aunt,
with whom he had lived since his
mother's death several years ago, was
prostrated by the news that the body
had been found. She had clung tena
cionsly to the hope that her nephew
had been kidnaped or that he had gone
off on a trip with men in whose com
pany he had been seen. On the receipt
of "a telegram yesterday from her
brother, who is in the Yosemite, say
ing that he was going to Wawona on
a new clew, Miss Rosekranz was ex
tremely hopeful. This was soon follow
ed by a telegram from David A. Curry,
announcing the finding of the body.
Logan's tragic death brings that
branch of the family to an end. A few
years ago an older brother was acci
dentally shot and died soon afterward.
Shortly before that the father, Dr. Lo
gan, a brilliant physician of this city,
died after a short spell of insanity due
to overwork. His wife was an invalid
several years before her death.

San Francisco Cull. Collector of the
Port Staekable of Honolulu, who has
threatened to arrest the entire crew
of the protected cruiser St. Louis for
the alleged smuggling of tapa cloth
from Samoa, is well remembered by
the customs officials of thy? port for
the embarrassment his wholesale hos
pitality once caused them.
Stackable was a passenger from Ho
nolulu, a year or so ago, on the liner
Korea. He devoted his six days on
board ship to making friends, and to

tended an invitation to accompany Mm
ashore on the revenue cutter Golden
Gate when the ship reached San Fran
cisco. As this meant avoiding the
usual delay caused by the examination
of baggage on the wharf the invita
tions were accepted with alacrity.
"I'm collector of the port at Hono
lulu, you know," he told his friends,
"and the Golden Gate will be placed
at my disposal. I can save you a
couple of hours' delay. Leave it to
me."
When Chief Boarding Officer Charles
Stephens climbed over the Korea's side
Stackable was there to introduce him
self. "It is late and I would like," said
Staekable, "to go ashore in the cutter.
Could you arrange it for me?"
Stephens surely could.
"And may I take a few friends with
me?"
"Yes, I' guess we can fix that," re
plied Stephens. "I'll let you know
when we're ready. Better, have your
friends get their baggage together so
as to avoid delay and save attracting
too much attention." '
Staekable passed the word and ten
minutes later the alleyway on the side
of the ship to which the Golden Gate
was made fast was blocked with bag
gage and waiting passengers! On ev
ery hand could be heard:
"Go and see Mr. Staekable.. He'll
fix it for you, too."
"Ready now, Mr. Stackable; get
your friends together," said Stephens.
When Stephens found that Stack
able 's "friends constituted about 75 per
cent of the liner's passengers he called
a halt. Stackable escaped the storm
by boarding the Golden Gate, which
took him away, and for two hours af
ter, until the liner was alongside the
wharf, Stephens and his lieutenants
were kept busy explaining their in
ability to assume responsibility for the
Honolulu collector's impulsive hospi
tality. "Yes," said Stephens - vesterdav,
"we remember Mr. Stackable very
well." J

CDTJHLL HIS CASH
San Francisco Bulletin. Al Fellows,
the most ardent seeker after new
worlds and nororiety that Fistiana has
produced in 'the last decade, blew into
town the other day from Honolulu,
whither he went a few months ago on
a junketing tour in search of adven
ture. From all accounts, Al found the
adventure, but it was not very lucra
tive, and he arrived in town with a
smile and two gold teeth as his only
assets. Al dropped into a chair at the
office this morning, heaved a sigh of
relief and then delivered himself of
the following epitome:
"Well, here I am, back in the good
old town. Broke, of course but say,
I'd rather be broke in San Francisco
than be in New York with twenty dol
lars a day. Honolulu? Gee, take It
away! Did you ever seen South Bend,
Indiana, on Sunday? Well, it's a wild
rollicking fandango compared to Hono
lulu. Saloons all closed at 11 o'clock,
not a soul on the streets but Japs and
Kanakas, nothing doing but to sleep
and eat.
VThe boxing game is fairly good
down there now. Jack Cordell and
Dick Sullivan, who fought a fifteen
round draw white I was there, drew
a nice purse. They are going to fight
twenty rounds today. They are pretty
fair boxers, but would hardly clas
with such men as Al Neill, Montana
Sullivan, Johnnie O'Keefe or those
boys. Maybe it's because they all eat
'poi,''a native concoction that tastes
like billboard paste. The more boxers
we can get down there the better,
though, for the Japs are flooding the
country and if war ever does come it
will star, right there in Honolulu. At
that, I i.ived the islands fine and mav
go back there in a few months. It's
hard for me to stay still and besides,
I want to see Japan."

Lorrin Andrews. Maui is

Deputy Attorney-General armed with
a cane knife and accompanied by a
force of assistants, likewise armed with
cane knives, who will begin to harvest
the jointed sweetness before its tima

decree of the court.
"It's the same old story," says

we are going to make them give it up."

More than that, however, the Territory
claims damages in the sum of $2500
from the defendant company for the
use it has already had of the captured
road.
Once upon a time, some years ago,
when Charlie Chillingworth was Deputy
High Sheriff and Lorrin Andrews was
Attorney-General the . two descended
upon Maui, Chillingworth armed wTith
a brace of enormous revolvers, each
big enough to kill a mastodon, and An
drews with an axe and a spade, and
while Chillingworth held the fort with
his artillery, Andrews proceeded to de
molish a dam which the government
claimed had been illegally erected to
cut off the supply of water from La
hainaluna. Possibly the remembrance
of that occurrence may make the de
fendants in the present suit throw up
their hands and quit early in the game.

Half a dozen steadies were sitting
on nail kegs in the store discussing
marriage, while Sam, the negro man
of all work, was pottering around saw
ing wood, so to say. Finally one of
them turned to him. ' ' What do you
think of marriage; Sam!" he inquired.
"I ain' thinkin' erbout hit a tall, suh,
but I reckon hit's de only way," Sam
replied listlessly. "Are you married!"
asked another one. "'Deed I is, suh,"
Sam responded with quickened inter
est, "an' dey aint no potential power
on dis yer uth, suh, dat 'ud git me to
do hit ag'in. Dey sho' aint, suh."
Dean Ramsay has a story of that
border hostility between English and
Scots which , used to go to halter
lengths. A Scottish drover was re
turning from the south in particularly
bad humor with the English, having
done poor business, when he saw in
Carlisle a notice offering a reward of
50 to any one who would volunteer
for the unpopular task of hanging a
condemned criminal. Seeing his chance
to make up for his bad market, and
comforting himself with the thought
that he was unknown there, he did the
job and got his fee. As he was leav
ing he was taunted as a beggarly Scot,
doing for money what no Englishman
would. But he answered with a cheer
ful grin: "I'll haug ye a' at the
price."
