Although I examined the dust of the roadway carefully, I could discover no foot prints that would Indicate that any one had climbed up the bank. The car.

Althourh I examined the car carefully for blood tains, I could find of this nature. The emergencynothing brakes on the car were set. "There was a suitcase In the car. but It contained nothing but a couple of shirts." SEARCH CONTINUES Deputy Sheriff Fred Tout and O. 1L, Mohlman went to the mouth of Weber canyon this morning to assist In tire search. The sheriffs department reported that the river had been carefully searched downstream for a distance of about a mile, to a point where the river is too shallow to allow the passage of bodies. Nothing was found as thm of the search, and another search,result which will include a prfiblng of the river with poles, will start immediately. The under which the officers are theory now working Is that Mason, stunned of the fall, attempted by the to get toimpact a place of safety. When he got in the stream, it is supposed that he collapsed and was drowned. TWO THEORIES. Two theories are being followed by members of the sherlfrs who. with Sheriff Richard department Burnett of Davis county are conducting the One thoryMs that Mason waa in the car alone when the machine went over the bank and that he was stunned. They believe that he may have tried to crawl from' the car In a semi-co- n scious condition and waa drowned and hia body carried down stream. Following out this theory, deputies ari dragging ths river at points below thfl point of the accident. FAILS TO APPEAR. An other theory Is that Mason may have not been Injured-anproceeded to Ogden following the accident, la another car which passed. ' However, the officers feel that this theory Is doubtful for the reason that Mason did not go to the Broom hotel where he had stayed the night before. He had not reported to the garage, where he had kept his car, up until noon today to make arrangements to have the car hauled from the river and brmitrht in. WITH HIS WIFE.
