Amateur Intruder Gets Real Bullet; Friend Arrested By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 30.— | | They were playing “theater.” Clarence Hitchcock took the part of the philanderer-home- wrecker. His best friend, John Tilker, portrayed the role of the husband who comes home at the end of the second act and finds his wife in the arms of another man. Just a play, of course, but it was jolly entertainment. Tilker entered. He saw his make-believe wife in the arms of her make-believe betrayer. He pulled a pistol from his pocket, aimed dramatically—and fired. It was all in fun. The bullet in Hitchcock's neck TRAGIC STORM HELD KEY 70 LOST TRIBE Scientists Find Clue to Van- ished Indians in Recent Snow Disaster. By the Assoclated Press | ZUNI, N.

With active membership limited to students who have sailed at least 12,000 miles before the mast, the Fo'casle Club of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service has reorgan- ized into a professional shipping club for the advancement of the merchant marine, Having charted a new course, the club has elected as its officers for 1931-32 a group of students who have served as seamen and ship's officers be- yond the prescribed nautical miles in WASHINGTON, O'Brien of Springfield, Mass., & gradu- ate of the Massachusetts Nautical Academy in 1924, is the captain. He has served as second and third officer aboard merchant ships for four years, with the Pan-American Transport Lines, the American Pioneer Line running to Far Eastern ports, the Red “D” Line plylng in the South American trade and the Porto Rican Line. John Brady of Wasnington is chief mate of the club. Clarence A. Gunther, also of this city, is second mate. The third mate is Marvin Levenberg of Michigan City, Ind. Another Washingto- nian, James Lowe, is the bos'un. The assoclate members of the crew | are men who have either sailed as pas- | sengers at least 10,000 miles or are in- tending to follow a career in the mer- chant marine. S Blight has killed the heather in parts of Scotland this year, and it is feared that grouse, which subsist on Scotland’s national flower, will starve to death this of the disappearance of the cliff dwell- ers of Mesa Verde 600 years ago. The mystery of the lack of skeletons | sbout the ruins of the Colorado cliff | dwellings, discovered in 1874 by two brothers—Alfred and Richard Weth- ercll, cattlemen—was recalled by the plight of the pinon nut hunters who suffered death in a recent blizzard. A parallel Is that the cliff dwellers might have perished in search of food. The wodern Redmen, aided by thawing weather and several rescue parties, were pouring back to their homes today with The harvest of their annual nut-hunting | expedition. { Seven Die in Storm. The official death toll of the 1,300 In- dians caught in the storm was 7. In-| dians said 13 more persons were un- Sccounted for, Two boys who ran away | from the Charles H. Burke Indian | School at Fort Wingate were among the | missing. For & time it appeared that all the Indians would be victims of the storm. | That fear turned attention to the Mesa Verde cliff dweliings. 1If disease or a hostile tribe had struck down the dwellers, unburied remains would have been found, sclentists rea- | soned. The theory of wholesale emigra- | tion was discarded in view of the fact | granaries held much grain, pottery wos | i place and ashes of fires remained on | hearthstones. Implements and cther Btores remained. Last Occupied in 1300. The latest occupancy was placed at about 1300 AD. by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau of eth-| nology, Smithsonian Institution. | Since the hundreds of Navajo and Zuni Indfans were trapped by snow, the theory has been advanced that perhaps | the cliff dwellers, ¢cn a food foray of | scme kind, might have been caught in | a similar situation and, unaided by | anything approaching 'the modern | rescue means, perished far from their | dwellings. ‘This theory fits their strange | disappearance more naturally than any other advanced.
