By the Assoclated Press. A DENVER, December 6.—Colorado’s famous “cannibalism case” of 1874 has come into the limelight again with the arrival here of Henry R. Dawson of Ottumwa, Iowa, seeking evidence that his long-lost brother, Solomon Simpson Dawson, was a victim in the episode. Musty newspaper files and old court records have failed to bear out his be- lief that his brother may have been a victim of Alfred Packer, prospector- guide, who was convicted of killing a party of five prospectors in 1874. Daw- son_plans to visit the party's graves in Dead Man’s Gulch, near Gold Hill, and study headstone inseriptions. Packer was the guide of a party of prospectors which left Bingham Can- yon, Utah, in the Fall of 1873 for the San Juan country, in.Colorado. Fol- lowing months of privation, Packer re- turned alone to civilization with a long tale of privations encountered, and con- fessed he had eaten the bodies of his companions to prevent starvation. The remains of the bodies later were found and authorities were led to be- lieve Packer had slain his hunger- weakened companions. He was con- victed of manslaughter and served a sentence at Canon City. Packer died in 1906.

PLANE FALLS IN FILM WAR BUT CAMERA MAN FAINTS Thrill When Craft Plunges—Miss- ed for Movie, Director Finds When All Is Over. OAKLAND, Calif. (#).—The fortunes of make-believe war are sometimes as harsh as those of actual combat. For illustration, there is the experi- ence of a motion picture company which for months has been engaged in making a war film at the Oakland air- ort. A sudden gust of wind or an unex- pected twist damaged the wing of a plane which was being “shot” a few thousand feet up. It started a tumbling descent, a huge camera plane darting after it like a falcon for its prey. The director on the ground below re- moved his hands from his eyes and ceased groaning in time to see the pilot of the disabled craft get it in on bal- ance and make a fairly smooth landing. He rushed toward the camera plane as it followed suit, shouting, “What a picture! Congratulations!” But one of the camera men had fainted and the camera of the other had “jammed.” Not a foot of film had been taken.
