Mountaintop lures hikers to a grisly endBy E.A. Torriero©Knight-Ridder News Service

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. - RobertFrith was rolling toward his death.

Like four of his hiking friends, Frith had beenjolted by lightning atop Yosemite's Half Dome.

He was convulsing, spitting up food, hystericallychanting meaningless words and thrashing about onlyinches from the edge of the 8,842-foot monolith.

A hand, that of a burned and pain-stricken friend,reached out. For a few seconds, Frith held on.

It was raining. It was dark. Death would have itsway.

The friend lost his hold. He made a desperatereach for a piece of Frith's T-shirt.

"Inch by inch, his shirt tore," said Jim Lee, a U.S.park ranger. "Finally the shirt gave. He fell 1,800 feet.That was the end of him."

On Monday, U.S. rangers were piecing together thesequence of what they say is one of the worst hikingtragedies in the modern history of the park.

Besides Frith, 24, of Mountain View, Calif., anotherhiker, Brian Jordon, 16, of Hayward, Calif., was killedwhen lightning struck the top of Half Dome earlySaturday evening.

Two other hikers — Thomas Rice, 28, of Los Gatos,Calif., and Bruce Weiner, 24, of Mountain View — werelisted Monday in serious but stable condition at theUniversity of California at Davis Medical Center inSacramento.

Doctors said the men's legs were burned so se-verely that the muscles bloated. Surgeons operatedfor nearly two hours to release the internal pressurecaused by the lightning shocks. It was uncertainwhether the victims would be able to walk again, doc-tors said.

A fifth hiker, Adrian Esteban, 27, of San Jose, Calif.,was treated Sunday at a medical clinic in Yosemiteand could not be found for comment Monday.

Esteban told rescue workers that he was clingingto the granite when lightning stuck. Numb for 15minutes, Esteban suffered burns and bruises, on hislegs and buttocks from the electrical charge.

Illuminated by moonlight, the survivors wereplucked from Half Dome in a daring and dangerousmidnight helicopter rescue nearly six hours afterlightning danced across the football-field-size peak.

Rangers say the men, part of a nine-member hik-ing party, played a risky game.

Ignoring three signs warning them to turn back ifelectrical storms were in the area, the men continuedtheir trek to the crest of granite that was once thoughtinaccessible to humans.

They literally walked into a charcoal thunderheadthat shrouded Half Dome from the view of YosemiteValley.

Nearing the end of their six-hour hike, five of themen ascended the slanted, wooden, cable-supportedstairs that mark the final push to the lip of Half Dome.

There was a driving rain. One of the men report-edly slipped but got up and continued upward.

On nearby peaks, hikers reported hail so large thatcars were dented. Thunderbolts lit up the sky every

The town of Madison had theworst crime rate in Wisconsin lastyear, according to a Wisconsin Coun-cil on Criminal Justice report.

The rate for index crimes in thetown of Madison (pop. 6,480) was10,493.8 per 100,000 population — thehighest in the state. Index crimes in-clude murder, forcible rape, robbery,aggravated assault, burglary, theft,motor vehicle theft and arson.

Per capita offenses are calculatedby figuring the number of offenses ifeach municipality had a population of100,000. Milwaukee (pop. 602,934) ledthe state in raw numbers of crimes —index (48,080), violent (3,456) andproperty (44,624).

With a rate of 1,250 offenses per100,000 population, the town of Madi-son also had the highest per capitarate for violent crime in Wisconsinlast year.

In 1984, the town of Madison hadno murders, 4 forcible rapes, 11 rob-beries and 66 aggravated assaults.The number of robberies declinedfrom 21 in 1983 while aggravated as-saults more than doubled from 28 theprevious year.

The town of Madison also led thestate with a rate of 1,018.5 aggravatedassaults per 100,000 population.

In Monona (pop. 8,810), the percapita rate for property offenses was

9,534.6 per 100,000 population, second-highest in the state.

The highest rate in Wisconsin forall property offenses was in Glendale(pop. 14,003), a Milwaukee suburb,with 9,644.6 offenses per 100,000 popu-lation. The town of Madison rankedthird with 9,243.8 property offensesper 100,000 people.

Besides placing second in propertyoffenses, Monona also had the second-highest theft rate with 7,309.9 per100,000 population and led the state inarsons with 158.9 per 100,000 people.Monona actually had 840 propertycrimes, including 644 thefts and 14arson cases in 1984.

In the city of Madison (pop.172,583) the rate of 252.6 violent of-fenses per 100,000 population wasabout the same as the rate for BlackRiver Falls or southern Polk County.

The city of Madison had a rate of7,173.9 index crimes and 6,921.3 prop-erty offenses per 100,000 population.The city actually had 12,381 indexcrimes last year, of which 436 wereviolent offenses and 11,945 were prop-erty offenses.

The safest place in the state wasWaterloo (pop. 2,505), which reportedno violent crimes last year.

The lowest crime rate in Wiscon-sin was reported in Algoma (pop.3,711), which had 646.7 total indexcrimes and 619.8 property offensesper 100,000 population.

Lafayette County Judge DanielMcDonald, accused of murdering aDarlington lawyer, was transferredTuesday from his jail cell in Darling-ton to University Hospital in Madisonfor treatment of malnutrition.

The move was ordered by doctorswho examined McDonald after jail-ers reported difficulty waking himTuesday morning.

Milwaukee County Judge ThomasDoherty approved the move Tuesdayafternoon after an emergency tele-phone conference among the partiesinvolved in the murder case.

McDonald's lawyer, WilliamHayes, of Beloit, said jailers calledhim to say McDonald was lethargicafter being awakened.

Hayes said McDonald has con-tended he was being starved in thejail since he was put there June 22.McDonald is charged with killingDarlington lawyer James Klein, 31, inKlein's downtown office.

"We filed a motion Monday askingthe court to change (McDonald's)place of incarceration," Hayes said.

That motion and a request to de-clare McDonald indigent and assisthim in paying court and psychiatricfees were to be heard in Milwaukeetoday. The hearing has been post-poned.

McDonald's trial is scheduled tobegin Sept. 3 in Milwaukee.

prosecutor, said McDonald's familymembers told him during the week-end that McDonald was not feelingwell and complained he was not get-ting enough food.

Hayes said McDonald was exam-ined at the jail by two doctors, DavidRuf and Richard Roberts. They saidMcDonald was "about 5 percent dehy-drated and somewhat malnourished."They said he weighed 155 pounds. Al-though he was not weighed when hewas jailed, his driver's license lists hisweight as 171 pounds.

Special Prosecutor Michael Zale-ski said McDonald ate lunch Tuesdayand "was alert enough to talk to hislawyer and to state his preference ofa hospital."

Zaleski said jailers told him thatfood trays have been returned emptyfrom McDonald's cell.

Zaleski, an assistant state attor-ney general, noted that all the jailfood is prepared by the LafayetteManor health care center and nursinghome and is the same served to thenursing home residents.

McDonald, a judge for 14 years,has entered an insanity plea.

Nine booster groups that contrib-ute to the UW-Madison athletic pro-gram were asked to provide informa-tion about their activities so the statecan determine whether they shouldbe required to meet more stringentstandards.

As of .Tuesday, none of the sportsbooster'groups had provided enoughinformation to determine whethertheir fund-raising activities will re-quire them to file registration and an-nual financial disclosure statementswith the department, according toPatty Popp of the Department ofRegulation and Licensing.

The deadline for four of the groupsto meet the request is today.

"My letter has resulted in massconfusion with some of these groups,"

she said.Under state law, charitable organ-

izations that raise more than $3,000annually must register with the stateso the degree of their fund-raising ismade public, she said.

Two of the groups have submittedletters detailing the scope of theirfund-raising and several others hadtelephoned the department to seekdetails about the request, Ms. Poppsaid. She said she would probably askfor more detailed information fromthe groups after she received theirinitial responses.

Four private sports groups —Butch's Badger Bologna Benefit, theDugout Club, the National "W" Cluband the Women's IntercollegiateSports Club — were asked in lettersdated July 9 to provide informationby today. Butch's is based in New

Glarus. The others are based in Madi-son.

In letters dated July 16, Ms. Poppasked five more groups to submit thesame type of information by Aug. 5.Those groups were the Bench Warm-ers, the Crew Association, the Over-time Club, the Weigh-in Club and theWingfoot Club.

The Dugout Club was given an ex-tension until Aug. 15 to provide finan-cial information, Ms. Popp said. TheNational "W" Club was given an ex-tension until Aug. 6 after a represent-ative called Tuesday, Ms. Popp said.

Players can't believe owners' proposal©AP, N.Y. Times News Service

NEW YORK — Negotiators for baseball's club own-ers finally made their long-awaited pension plan proposalTuesday, but it did not enhance the chances of avoiding astrike next week. In fact, it seemed to exacerbate the al-ready staggering state of the labor negotiations.

The proposed plan would increase the owners' contri-bution to the pension plan by about $10 million per year,from $15.5 million to $25 million, with a hedge againstinflation in player salaries that could reduce ownership'syearly pension payment to nothing.

"Plain and simply, this is not a proposal, it seems tome, that is designed to do anything except provoke areaction that the players who were in the meeting had,

which is that they must be crazy," union chief Don Fehrsaid.

Pensions has been one of the major points of conflictin agreeing to a contract to replace the one that expiredon Dec. 31. Players have asked for a $60 million per yearcontribution.

Lee MacPhail, president of the owners' Player Rela-tions Committee, said if the union accepted this proposal,owners would drop their request for a salary cap andalso would acquiesce to union demands that the free-agent re-entry draft and professional compensation forteams losing free agents be scrapped.

Fehr said he would meet with his constituents as soonas possible, and he would have more to say regarding theproposal today, when the two sides meet again.

Here's what the major-league owners are proposingPension plan — Owners now contribute $15.5 million

per year to the players' pension plan. The proposal wouldincrease thai amount to $25 million each year.

Relationship between pension plan contribution andsalary Increases — For every $1 million of payroll increaseover $13 million each year, $1 million will be deducted fromthe pension plan contribution. The PRC projects player sal-aries will increase $34 million in each year through 1988,meaning the owners' contribution to pensions would be re-duced to $4 million per year, an actual decrease of morethan $11 million. Owners are asking players to help curbsalaries so clubs can break even by 1988. In order to breakeven, owners say salaries may increase no more than $13

million a year.Salary arbitration — No salary arbitration for players

with less than three full years of major-league service, anincrease of one year. An arbitrator could not award aplayer more than double his previous salary. Now, there isno limit to what a player may ask from an arbitrator.

Re-entry draft — Would be abolished. Teams that lostfree agents would not be entitled to a professional playeras compensation, and would instead receive amateur draftchoices.

Structure of players' contracts — No more than 10 per-cent of a player's compensation could be deferred beyondthe term of "his contract.

New WIAA ruling makes waves with diversBy Ben Deutsch;Sports reporter•f . ..,

; Diving may well have scored itslast points in Wisconsin if a new rul-ing handed down by the Wisconsin In-terscholastic Athletic Associationholds up.i The WIAA Board of Control madetwo changes. First, the board decidedto honor a National Federation ofState High Schools request that div-ing at interscholastic meets takeglace in a pool with a minimum of 10feet of water. This move is a safetyprecaution. There isn't much disa-greement with that.

• The WIAA has left it up to individ-ual schools and conferences to decide

whether to eliminate diving at meetsin pools that don't meet the require-ment or to have the diving event at analternate location.

Here's the problem:The board decided not to add in

diving scores to team totals at sec-tional and state competition. The div-ing competition will still take place,but winners will receive individualawards and their scores will not bepart of the team totals.

"This will have a terrible effect onthe sport," said Ann Hackworthy, aformer Edgewood High School diverwho now competes for Iowa StateUniversity. "Not only are they mak-ing it an exhibition sport, they'retrying to eliminate it completely. It

will destroy diving, especially inMadison."

Hackworthy's response was com-mon among coaches and divers Tues-day at the All-City Diving Meet at theMonona Swim Club.

"What worries me the most is thatcoaches won't care if the divers can'tscore points," said Kim DeClous, aformer UW diver. "High schoolswon't be producing divers and thenthe sport will die and fade."

"I don't understand this at all,"said Sara Smith, a two-time all-Amer-ican diver at the University of Wis-consin-Eau Claire and coach of theMonona diving team. "This will dis-courage a lot of people. Why elimi-

nate scoring in the big meets thatreally count for something. It justdoesn't make any sense."

The WIAA's reasoning towards notcounting state and sectional scoreswas because it felt schools with10-foot pools might have an unfair ad-vantage over schools without one.

"It's a good safety precaution, butif you can't meet the requirement,then move the meet to an alternatesite. I don't see a problem here," De-Clouse said.

The coaches agreed that accomo-dating the pool depth requirementswpuld not be a problem. The mainproblem, they said, would be persuad-ing the WIAA to change its mind onthe no-scoring rule.

It will not be easy, as the Wiscon-sin Interscholastic SwimmingCoaches Association found out. Thegroup told the WIAA Board of Controlof its opposition to the changes, butthe board was not moved.

Unless the rule is changed, divingbe discontinued as a sanctioned sport,as were boys' gymnastics, boys' vol-leyball and co-ed skiing and curling.

The All-City Swim Meet will beThursday through Saturday atNakoma Golf Club.

Qualifying races for individualswimmers will be Thursday andFriday; relays and individual finalswill take place Saturday.

Brewers beat Rangers againBy John HughesSports reporter

MILWAUKEE - Sadly for theMilwaukee Brewers, the Texas Rang-ers will be leaving town after this af-ternoon's game.

The Rangers, like the Brewers ateam going nowhere this season, lostTuesday for the second consecutivenight, 6-3, at County Stadium.

The Brewers got 13 hits, includingsix for extra bases, as they improvedtheir record to 43-54. The Rangers,one of four teams in baseball with aworse record than the Brewers,dropped to 39-61.

Catcher Charlie Moore got thegame-winning hit, a two-run triple inthe sixth inning, and Ben Ogliviedrove in two insurance runs with adouble in the seventh.

The Brewers also got a sound per-formance from one of their oft-bat-tered relief pitchers to preserve thevictory.

"Maybe they'll start doing the jobnow," Brewer Manager George Bam-berger said, hopefully.

Left-hander Bob McClure relievedstarter Moose Haas in the sixth in-ning after Haas' arm began to stiffen.McClure allowed only three hits overfour scoreless innings.

"In the seventh inning he was a lit-tle shaky," Bamberger said. "Butfrom that point on, boy, he did a superjob."

Even in the seventh, McClure wasless shaky than most Brewer reliev-ers have been in recent games. Hegave up a one-out single to pinch-hit-ter Cliff Johnson, then threw a wildpitch, allowing Johnson to go to sec-ond. But he recovered to strike outGeorge Wright and got pinch-hitterBill Stein on a grounder to short toend the inning.

Haas, who missed his previousturn in the rotation because of a soreright shoulder, gave up three runs and

three hits in the five innings heworked.

Pete O'Brien gave the Rangers a1-0 lead in the first with a home runover the right field fence, and rookieOddibe McDowell made it 3-0 with atwo-run homer in the third. It wasMcDowell's llth homer of the seasonand his sixth in the Rangers' lasteight games,

"That was a big hit — for us andfor him both," Bamberger said.

For Moore, whose batting averagehad dipped to .217, it was the fifthtime this season he was credited withthe game-winning hit. Only Simmons(10) and Cecil Cooper (seven) havemore.

The Brewers added their final tworuns in the seventh inning. Yount ledoff with his third double of the game,tying a team record held by severalplayers, and went to third on Cooper'sfly out.

After Simmons was walked inten-tionally, Oglivie hit a line drive toright field. Right fielder Wrightslipped on the grass made slippery bya pre-game shower, and the ballskipped past him. Ogiivie reachedsecond and both Yount and Simmonsscored.

The Brewers will complete theirlongest homestand of the season withthis afternoon's game against theRangers. A victory today would givethe Brewers a split of the 14-gamehomestand.

Jim Gantner greeted relieverDave Rozema (3-7) with a single tocenter field, but Rozema should havegotten out of the inning when House-holder hit what looked to be a routinedouble-play grounder to second base.

Toby Harrah, however, bobbledthe ball momentarily. By the time herecovered he could only get the run-ner at second.

"That let it out of the barn," Har-rah said.

The misplay gave Moore a chanceto bat and he made the most of his op-portunity by tripling to the fence inright-center field to drive in Riles andHouseholder .'t
