Most of the hunters were scatter- ed in the high isolated country about Grand Junction, Colo., on the western slope of the Rocky Moun- tain divide. No word has been re- ceived from them since the storm struck Sunday. Relief parties have pushed out from Grand Junction in !scarch of small bands of the men. Searching Party A searching party left Whitewater yesterday seeking a party of elght men marooned in the Uncomphagre forests, but believed safe from pri- vations for the present. Many hunt- ing parties were camped in thé Douglas Creek district, northwest of here which was burled in snowfall ranging from 18 inches to five feet in depth. Few of the hunters, it was said, were equipped with sufficient cloth- ing or provisions to withstand severe storms or cold. The blizzard raged in across west. ern Wyoming bringing heavy snow, which drifted steadily. Motorists were warned against attempting trips between Cheyenne and Lara- kitchen color Tnameled oven and mie and in sections roads were re- ported impassable.

Hundreds of thousands of British listeners-in heard the drone of the dirigibles’ engines, the cheers of the crowd and' a band playing “Die Wacht Am Rhein.” In an editorial, which was typical of others printed this morning, the Times said: “The achievement and the suc- cess of Dr. Eckener's cautious navi- |gation give solid cause for satisfac- tion. The experiment will be of the greatest practical value to the science of the air and Germany may justly be proud of it.” | READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS TEXAS’ GUINAN FARLS 0 APPEAR Says Sbe Has Sore Thoost— Los Angeles, Oct. 16 UP—An en- gagement at a Los Angeles theater ‘was cancelled by Texas Guinan, New York night club hostess, yesterday when laryngitis affected her voice. The aamouncement brought ex- pressions of dissatisfaction from of- ficials of the West Coast theaters, with whom she had signed a con- tract for her stage appearance. They said they had not been informed by Miss Guinan of the condition of her voice untll a short time before she was to appear and that they were not satisfied as to the seriousness of the ailment. The theater men said they had been informed that after refusing to go on the stage the night club hostess had appeared at a party given by Lila Lee of the filma and later had gone to the Plantation club.
