SUFFERS DEFEAT
Judse Henderson, who engaged in a
swimming contest with J. J. Byrne
in the Willamette river Saturday, re
turned to bla bonie la the evening of
tlmt dav none the worse for bla elfort
and with no excuses to oiler. Tlie
manv friends of the Judge took a very
lively Interest In the content and of
course wanted to aee bim win, A
Hood many of them bad advised
against bia entering the race owing to
the Iocs spell of sickness from which
be bad out recently recovered, think
Inn it would Drove too much of an
effort for the game old veteran. Home
of them think that bad the coarse
been a longer one be might have fared
better in the contest, but the Judge
bad no comment to make on this
noint. When asked by the Glacier
man why be was defeated be said :
"1 failed to win because the other
man was the fastest swimmer. I did
not tbink that ltyrnes could keep up
the Dace be set., but be did and when
1 turned the last point in the river
and aaw bow ftr ahead he was i knew
that it would be useless for me to at
tain Dt to overtake bim and left the
water opposite the Country Club
house near Milwaukee. Byrnes is a
tine swimmer. I do not, however,
fanoy swimming in the Willamette
river at least the part of the oourse 1
covered. The water la too foul, in
many plaoei it was covered with a
scum of oil and deoayed fish. 1 IihcI
- aevera encounters with these disagree
able features and the experience was
anything but pleasant I oau assure
you. In fact I feared that my stom
ach would reovlt entirely as scvorai
times I was almost nauseated."
The following acoount is taken from
the Oregon Inn :
John L. ileudeisoii, the Hood Riv
er veteran swimmer, was most decis
ively beaten yesterday by J. J.
Hyrues. an iustruotnr in swimming at
The Oaks, ltyrnes fluished the long,
gruelling swim after being 0 hours,
4mlnutes in .the water. Mr. Hen
derson, after swimiiung gallant con
test for about four miles, gave up the
race near Milwaukee. At this time
Uymes was mile in the lead and the
veteran swimmer, realiizng that there
would ba no obauoe to overtake his
younger opponeut, loft the water near
Milwaukee and returned to the city
by tbe oar line.
Aside from the two swimmers who
were to measure utrokes with each
other over the nine-mile oourse, a
numiiei of local swimmers weie ut the
starting point and took the water
when the main contestants started.
They were; Professor Keisnor, In
st ruo' or at The Oaks; Professor
Myers, swimming Instructor at the at
tbe Y. M. C. A., and lion ilolladay.
These swimmers, however, did not
swim tbe entire distance, for after
about four miles they took to the
boata whioh were following the con
testants. Professor Keisner Mulshed
the last pait of the journey with
ltyrnes.
The swimmers entered the water at
Oregon City at 8 o'clock, and the win
ner crawled up the iron ladder at The
Oaksjat 2 041,. Ahjut UK) yards from
tbe tlulsh, llyroes, just to show the
crowd of spectators that he was still
slmmlug stiong, turned over on his
back and spurted away fom Pofessor
Keisner very easily, llyures was as
sisted from the water by attendants
of tbe swimming baths and was taken
charge of by Allen ,T. Adorson, who
baa trained and instructed the young
swimmer in all of bla swimmiug leats.
Afer a rubdown, tiyruea dressed him
self aud was soon mingling with his
many friends, who congratulated him
upon bia auocesa. Uymes took his
victory with becoming modesty and
pxreased bis regrets that Mr. Hen
derson bad withdrawn from tbe race.
In speaking of tbe race Mr. llyrues
said :
"Henderson Is a game swimmer all
right, and I am aorrry that we could
not have finished together, so as to
bave given the match the semblance
of a raoe. I understand that 1 was
bout a mile in front when be decid
ed to quit. This must ;have been (II
leotly otf Milwaukee, which, bv the
way, was tbe woist part of the loug
swim. There must be a lot of springs
iu tbe river at this poiut, for it was
there that I aulfered for the II rut time
from the cold. It was so cold that for
a time 1 was fearful of cramping.
However, after swimming for a dis
tance, I got out of tbe oold water and
was all right again It was a long
swim, but there novel was a time that
I waa iu trouble. I thluk if X had
been pushed by a rival over the route
I could bave made it In much better
time."
1 Chandler, of Hood River, who
oHloiated as one of the judges fur Mr.
Henderson, said after the contest that
Mr. Henderson had given up the raoe,
not because he waa tired, but because
be knew that it would be Impossible
for bim to oveitake the lead of his
young opponent "I was surprised to
aee Mr. Henderson swim as long and
aa well aa be did," said Mr. Chand
ler. "For a man who waa given up
for dead last year by tbe doctors, he
made a surprising showing. Then,
too, It must be taken into considera
tion that Mr. Henderson Is no longer
young man. Mr. ltyrnes Is a great
little swimmer aud one of remarkable
nerve and endurance in the water."
After swimming for,, about four
miles, Byrnes took the lead from Hen
derson, who up to that point bad been
little in front. Onoe In the lead,
Byrnes left bis opponent behind, aud
be waa newr In tbe contest afterward.
On tbe way down tbe river, Uyrues
showed how mi ch ut home ho was In
the water by eating two sandwiches, a
couple of mars and drinking a bottle
of milk. The oUlcials of the contest,
were frank Olmndler, Joe Henderson,
son of one of 'the contestants; Allen
T. Anderson and A. L. Young.
(old Near Mount AiIhuin.
1 or many jo..i if. has been known
to a few that tilacor mini's existed in
the vicinity of Mt. Adams ueiir the
headwaters of Lewis river. Kvery
summer pmtiea have goue from The
Dalles, spent a week or so at tbe
mines, and came back saying they hud
takheu an outing. These trips bave
dated as far back as ten or eveu rlr
teen years; but nothing was thought
of the mutter until quite recently.
About twenlv veurs ago. Mr. N
Mathlas lived In this city and bad his
niHce of business east ol ttie L imit ma

this world's goods, and made summer
trips to Mt. Adams, coming back id

this muadane sphere, and nothing has
been board of him since.
About two or tnree weeks ago, some
Indians hunting berries near Mt.
Adums found an abandoned cabin,
with a full mining outlit iu it. The
Indians brought some papers and let
ters out, leaving no doubt that the
oabln was the summer resort of our
tailor, N, Muthius, and that this was
the place where lie constantly replun
Istied his hoarded gold, and which
rlniilly gave hi in a coinpet.unce for
