Bodies found in By MAUREEN CONNOR-RICE Journal Staff Writer Mendocino County Sheriff's deputies have reported the recovery of two bodies since Friday, one in a vehicle in Willits and the other in a ravine on Cow Mountain. A California Highway Patrol helicopter from Napa was used to airlift the body of Edward Horning, 31, of Ukiah, out of the heavy growth of brush and trees on Cow Mountain Saturday afternoon. Pilot Doug Guinn fought wind, driving rain and snow flurries to retrieve Homing's body from the mountain. Horning was found in or near a creek at the bottom of a steep ravine by friends who went looking for him Saturday morning and called deputies at 8:44 a.m.

He was wearing rubber boots and jeans. Deputies cut their way down the mountainside through thick brush with machetes to get to Horning. They radioed for the assistance of a helicopter airlift, which arrived at approximately 1p.m. The helicopter circled the area several times, landed in a clearing for awhile, then hovered directly above where the body was located. The rope dangling from the chopper was whipped by the wind and turbulence until, shortly before 2 p.m., deputies were finally able to attach it to.

He was last seen at his place of employment, Fetzer Vineyards, on March 10, and was reportedly depressed over work-related problems. Homing's car had been found Friday on Cow Mountain, but a search of the area failed to turn up any results. The sheriff's report did not say how Hornihg died.

The watch he had on was stopped at 8:30, March 11.

Deputies are still investigating both deaths. Experts fear rash of teenage suicides BOSTON (UPI) Experts fear a highly publicized group suicide by four teenagers in New Jersey followed by an alarmingly similar case in suburban Chicago could trigger a rash of youth suicides elsewhere in the nation. "The fear now is that there are some people out there who are hurting and have considered suicide may get reinforced from hearing about the Charlotte Ross, director of the Youth Suicide National Center inWashington. "The hope is that these people who may be feeling badly and hear about these deaths will see them for the tragedy that they are, and see that there is help available out there," she said. Two teenage girls killed themselves in suburban Chicago Thursday by inhaling car exhaust fumes.

The deaths occurred just two days after four people ages 16 though 19 killed themselves the same way in Bergenfield, N.J. "If past experience is any guide, then there should be an abnormally large number of suicides in the following weeks," said David Phillips, a sociologist at the University of California in San Diego who studies suicide. To prevent copycat suicides, the experts urged parents, teachers and other teenagers to look for warning signs, such as depression, drug and alcohol -Police Three injured near Talmage Two children and their mother were injured Friday evening when their car hit a tree and tumbled down a hill near Talmage, the Highway Patrol reported. Alice Moore, 33 of Hopland received serious injuries and was cited for drunk driving. Her sons Nathan, one year and eight months, and Brennon, four, suffered minor injuries during the accident.

Their car was travelling 45 to 55 miles-per-hour on Eastside Road south of Fern Canyon Road when it drifted off the road and hit a tree, the Highway Patrol said. The car rolled down a steep embankment and came to rest in a field. Alice and Nathan were taken to Ukiah Adventist Hospital. Nathan was observed overnight and released Saturday morning, and Alice was transferred to a Santa Rosa hospital where she is reported doing well. abuse and talk about suicide, and seek counseling for those who appear suicidal.

"If a teenager is talking about suicide, pay attention to that," said Phillips. "If someone is saying life is not worth living. That should be taken seriously." Although still a relatively uncommon event, suicide recently surpassed homicide to become the second leading cause of death among those ages 15 to 24 in the United States. At least 5,000 teenagers kill themselves each year. About 17,000 teenage lives are lost in accidents each year, but many believe many of those deaths may really be suicides.

In addition, some estimate that there may be 100 attempted suicides for every reported suicide. Although the elderly are still more likely to commit suicide than teenagers, the suicide rate has been steadily decreasing for all age groups except teenagers. "For the young, they've been: coming up decade by said Dr. Patrick O'Carroll, suicide expert at the federal: Centers for Disease Control in: Atlanta. "That's what worries us: about youth suicide." The suicide rate increased: from 5.2 for every 100,000: Americans ages 15 through 24 in: 1960 to 12.3 in 1980.

especially white males, are at; the highest risk about five; times more likely than females; to kill themselves. "These recent cases are a very- vivid demonstration of the fact that our young people have been killing themselves in higher and higher numbers," said Alfred DelBello, chairman of the National Committee on Youth Suicide Prevention. "Human beings are capable for great joy and enormous said Ross. Stocks close lower NEW YORK (UPI) Prices were lower at the close of the New York Stock Exchange Friday in moderate trading.
