A New Yorker and two of his friends leapt to their deaths last week when they jumped into a waterfall during a hike on a remote, treacherous trail in northern California, according to authorities.   Matthew Anthony, 44, of New York City, and five other hikers set off into the woods Wednesday in Soda Springs, about three miles off Donner Pass, a 7,000-foot-high alpine trail in the northern Sierra Nevada. 3 Rough terrain and brutal conditions made the recovery effort for the bodies three hikers who died after plunging into a waterfall particularly difficult.
