They did not arrive at the latter point. On the following Tuesday an overcoat belonging to one of the missing men (Hanafln) was found floating In a small slough a few miles west of Wells. To all appear-ances the slough was only about a ifoot or so deep' with weeds gr6w- m up out of the water. Two days -later when water usedtor jlulclng higher up (he mountain was shut off, the level of the slough went .down and a passing driver saw the .wheels of an overturned car ln the water. The slit that was washed down during hydraulic operations i had hidden the car from view while the water was high and had given the deceptive appearance of shallowness. The car was hauled out of the water by a wrecker and inside were found the bodies of Hanafln and the young woman. Hanafin's skull had been fractured and a leg was broken. The young woman had been drowned. Friday morning a crew on rafts, grappling in the slough, recovered the bodies of the two other men. It is believed that the young woman and the two men had struggled desperately to escape but had been caught ln the mire and drowned. Hanafln is believed to have been killed Instantly.
