DESERT TRAGEDY REVEALS DEEP MOTHER LOVE SAN BERNARDINO, Cal., Dec. 5. A desert tragedy was revealed here today when a rescue party returned from a desolate section near Aniboy, Cal., with the story of the burial of Raymond Hampler, aged 17, who died while journeying afoot with his mother from Las Vegas, N. M., to southern California. Travelers found the body with the mother crooning over It. Upon Up-on her refusal to abandon the body word was brought here and a rescue party was sent out. After the burial by the party, the mother, who was exhausted, was taken to Amboy. She said that she and her son, after walking from their former home in Iowa to Las Vegas in search of land for a new home, decided to push westward, despite their ill health. The additional exertion, she said, proved fatal to her son.
