Canadian Is First
To Swim Strait
From Victoria Side
VICTORIA, B. C„ UV—C 1 i f f
Lumsdon of Toronto became the
first person to swim the Juan de
Puca Strait from Victoria to the
Washington shore early today.
He stroked his way across the
18.3 miles in about 11 hours and
35 minutes.
He finished the gruelling swim
in inky blackness with a bonfire
on shore guiding him to Green
Point, about five miles west cf
Port Angeles.
Lumsdon became the first Can
adian to swim the strait and the
first person to swim from Victor
ia to the United States side. Bert
Thomas of Tacoma, former wrest
ler and Marine, swam from Port
Angeles to Victoria in 11 hours
and 17 minutes last July 8.
The strait, labelled by distance
swimmers as one of the most
treacherous and unpredictable
challenges known, was unusually
calm thruout Lumsdom’s swim.
Judge’s Pants Rifled
While Holding Court
DENVER, Iff)—Bryan W. Cofelt,
40, a transient, rifled the pants
of Municipal Judge Arthur S.
Bowman while his honor con
ducted court yesterday.
The judge keeps a pair of light
slacks in the lavatory of his
chambers to wear under his
robes. He changed pants in the
morning, leaving the suit trousers
and $10 in cash, keys wallet and
identification papers.
During a case he returned to
the lavatory for a key. He found
nothing in the pants except a
handkerchief.
Judge Bowman returned to the
prisoner’s box and asked which
of the prisoners had been taken
to his lavatory. Without a word
Cofelt placed the judge’s belong
ings on a desk.
Asked if he would file charges
against Cofelt, the judge declined.
The prisoner was in court to an
swer a bogus check charge.
