'''March 6, 1908 [Los Angeles Herald]:''' “Body of Catalina Visitor Found Dead under Cliff. Avalon, Catalina Island (via wireless to Los Angeles), March 5.—Mutilated almost beyond recognition, bootless and with the clothing torn to shreds, the body of L. L. Watson, a guest of the Hotel Metropole who has been missing several days, was found at noon today by Guides E. Dunlap and L. Edmonds on a ledge 1200 feet below the top of a cliff and 450 feet above the beach. The position of the body indicates that Watson, while scaling the cliff, fell from somewhere along its face to the ledge where his body was discovered. The body will not be recovered until tomorrow at daybreak. Watson's brother is expected to arrive here from Clifton, Ariz., tomorrow, when the inquest probably will be held.”
