to examine peculiar skid-marks
id the loosely graveled euriaee
of the eait entrance road, about
aeven miles west at the Junction
with The Dalles-Calltornln High'
way.
Sight Car In Creek
In the bed of the canyon, lying
In the creek, the coupe was sight'
ed by Bernle Hushes, one ot the
rangers, alter c. 11. simson, an
other of the party, had found a
piece of glass and a bit of mirror
near tho canyon Drum.
That was about 7:20 a. m. By
:20, the rangers had climbed
down Into the deep canyon, lo
cated the bodies of the two Hol
lywood Cosmeticians, and sad
driven to Fort Klamath where
Klamath county authorities and
state police were notified.
Recover Bodice
It waa not until well In the
afternoon that the battered and
partially decomposed bodies ot
the women had been recover
ed from the - canyon together
with their personal effects found
in and near the demolished car,
It was not ditticnlt to recon
struct the tragedy. The young
women. It was recalled were last
seen at Crescent at mld-mornlng
on November 12.
They1 drove south on The
Dalles-California highway toward
Klamath Falls, where Mlsa Har
dens (Irene Streeter) was to visit
her father, N. M. Streeter, before
continuing Into California.
Girls Left Highway
Probably hopint for a chance
to see Crater lake. - they turned
off the main highway at the
Junction with the east entrance
road, driving around sign not
ing that the road was closed by
snow. They drove eight or nine
miles toward the lake before de
ciding to turn back.
The road drops rapidly along
the edge of Eand Creek canyon.
Undoubtedly drifting along at a
high speed, their car suddenly
went out of control, probably be
cause of a flat tire.
Skids Over Cliff
They skidded 160 feet before
going over the canyon rim.
the marks on the road plainly
show. First they skidded away
from the canyon for 50 feet,
reaching a distance 7 feet from
the center ot the road. Then
suddenly the machine careened
across the road, and struck a
ledge not ten feet from the end
of a heavy log guard.
The car bounced down a steep
Incline to the edge ot a sheer
cliff. It glanced off a pinnacle.
and Into a sort ot groove on the
canyon rim. Then came a sheer
drop of perhaps (0 feet, and a
tumble down a lane between the
trees. The battered machine
came to rest upside down In the
creek.
Believe Death Instant
Both women were undoubtedly
Silled instantly. Both were
thrown free of tho car. The body
of Miss Mardelle rolled to a atop

aide above the car. That ot
Miss Sparks probably slid on
down after the ear. It slid un

and when found was lying under

and the bumper.

the national tournament at Cleveland, Ohio, are Jimmy McClure, In- ,
dianapolis store clerk, and Ruth A axons of New York. The two new-;

the time the girls stopped at
Crescent .
Injuries Fatal
Miss Sparks, according to Dr.
George Adler, county coroner.
sustained a broken neck, crushed
skull, multiple fractures of the
legs, and crushing injuries of the
chest and abdomen. Miss Mar
delle sustained multiple fractures
of the arms and legs and her
back waa broken."
The clothes had been partially
torn from the bodies of both
women. Miss Mardelle' body was
partially buried in snow.
Inability ot rangers to sight
the lookout house on the peak ot
Mt Scott led .to the discovery ot
the bodies of the women, Just
three days after the east entrance
road was opened. -
Find Tire Harks
Canfleld, Simeon and Hughes
left government camp about 5:20
a. m. Thursday to get a closer
view of the top of Mt. Scott.
They drove to Fort Klamath, up
The Dalles-California highway
and Into the east entrance. Go
ing up, they noticed peculiar
marks in the road and decided
to investigate on their way back.
From farther up the road they
could see through field glasses
that the Mt., Scott lookout was
intact. Returning, they stopped
their machine and began examin
ing the skid marks In the highway.
There were only slight marks
at the edge ot the road where
the car went over. SImson, re
connotterlng along the canyon
edge, found the bits ot glass, and
Hughes cautiously crept to the
cliff rim. He peered over the side
and shouted that be had sighted
the car. plainly visible In' the
creek bed about 125 feet below.
To get to the wrecked car It
was necessary to to up tb road
about half a mile. At that point
It was possible to climb down the
steep slope of the canyon, and
they returned along its bed to
the automobile. Certain of their
discovery, they climbed back to
the road and went to Fort Klam

Bodies Palled Up
Several of the party went Into
the canyon, and others stayed on
the rim to man ropes that were
let down. After three hours'
work, the bodies were pulled np
the cllff-slde with the aid of
block . and tackle. A guy rope
was stretched to a tree top where

used to keep the bodies from
dragging against the cliff on
their way np.
The scene In the bed ot the
canyon waa a gruesome one.
A suitcase, flung from tho car
In Its fall, lay In the bed ot the
stream. Scattered about were
cans ot the cosmetics the women
demonstrated. A spare wheel lay
several feet upstream.
Glove In Tree -'
A women's glove waa hung In,
a tree up the canyon aide. It
had apparently been flung there
as the car passed by on its
tumble.
On the canyon side was a mem
orandum book, the writing faded
by the melted snow. In it was
written the words to the song. "1
Lore Ton. California," ending
with the line:
"When I die I ahall breathe

nia.1 Recover Spltcase
A second suitcase was recov
ered from the Inside ot the car
with considerable difficulty.
Little water had penetrated Its
leather cover. In9ide were cloth
ing and other personal effects,
believed those ot Miss Sparks.
Included in the contents were
several pieces ot sheet music. On
some were written the name
Doris Blenklron. Miss Sparks
was an entertained. Apparently,
her tastes ran to the bettor class
and sacred music. 'The D'ay'i
Begun," "Homing", "W h o
Knows," 'With the Wind and the
Rain In Your Hair" and Samuel
Llddle'a "How Lovely are Tby
Dwellings" were tomo ot the
selections in the collection.
N. M. Streeter, father of Miss
Mardelle, arrived at the canyon
rim In the afternoon. Streeter
said he had been along the road
at this point several times in bis
search for his daughter. Can
field said the rangers skied along
the road last winter when hunt
ing for the girls, but the marks
and probably the bodies were
covered with snow at that time.
The bodies were taken to the
Klamath Funeral home, where
funeral arrangements will be an
nounced later.
Streeter said his daughter was
born In Boise, Ida., 12 years
ago. She attended school In Seat
tle. She was an airplane pilot
He aald he believed aha must
have been driving the car at the
time of the accident.
Survivors ot Miss Mardelle In'
elude her father, her mother,
.Mrs. Hallle B. Ware ot Berkeley;
a sister, Ethel Baldwin of Sacra-
monto; a sister, Neva Streeter, of
Sacramento. 8, M. 8treeter of
Klamath county la an uncle.
Streeter has engaged In a
widespread bunt for hla daughter.
With the aid ot Klamath county
authorities, he has enlisted the
support of the U. S. secret service
and department of Justice, and
pictures of the missing women
were sent throughout the coun
try. Until Thursday's tragic so
lution ot the mystery, Btroetor
clung to a belief the two women
had been kidnaped.
Miss Sparks Is survived by her
mother, Mrs. Demloo of San Fran
cisco; a sister Mrs. Vlrlnn Boener
of San Francisco, and a brother,
Vernon Rllenkerson of South
