- YANNE ENGINEERS KILLED N NEXICO by Bandits—Bullet Riddied Bodies Found Mexico City, Feb. 23.—UP—Death of two American mining engineers at the hands of Mexican bandit kidnap- vra is reported today in Excelsior in Jlispatches from Guanjato, capital of the state of that mame. Vodies of the two J. M. Underwood, Aisthorpe, the paper says, were found late yesterday by federal troops in the wilds of the moun- tains of Guanajuato, a region where insurgent activities have been fre- quent of late. Both bodies bore gun shot wounds, apparently their captors fled after | the men were slain. The troops brought the bodies to Guanajuato, Dispatches last night had told of the kidnaping of the two men. While | they slept Wednesday night at the Bustos mine, property of the Gunaa- | juato Reduction and Mines Com- pany of Columbus, Ohio, bandits. | cuided by a former employe, crept into the camp. { They took Underwood and \isthrope from their quarters and forced them to mount horses and accompany them on the road to a nearby village, known as Santa Ana. A note was sent back to the mine with a threat to kill the men unless L ransom was paid. The governor of the state Guana- iuato immediately took charge of the | rescue. Federal troops instituted a | wide search which culminated yes- | terday in discovery of the bodies ‘Throughout the search others at the | Bustos mine pleaded that it be| conducted with the utmost caution, | fearing that otherwise the bandits | wight slay their captives in revenge | tor the possible death of one of their own men. i Believe Bandits Frightened The Excelsior story says the the- ory was advanced at Guanajuato that bandits became frightened when they saw the extent of the hunt for them and Kkilled the pris- oners, It is presumed they then fled to hiding places in the mountain (astnesses. The American embassy and con- sulate general both sought confir- mation of the kidnaping cnd mur- ders but early today*had failed to sain other word than that carried in Excelsior, The region where the Killings took place is one of the wildest in Mexico. It is of mountainous char. acter, dotted with minea With the state of Jalisco it has been the cen- ter of the “long live Christ king" insurgent movement and has had rumerous other episodes of banditry within its borders, apparently not connected with this movement.

The horses were brought here yes- terday from the royal stables at Mel- ton Mowbray in preparation for the appearance on the auctioneer's block today, and trips to strange stables tonight. Late last evening, after they had been put away for the night, the prince arrived unexpectedly to say good bye to them. He made the round of the stalls to see whether all were well provided for and com- fortably bedded. He had a pat and kindly word for each of the hand. some creatures which had carried him on many an enjoyable cross- icountry run. Miss Muffit, his favor- ite mare, came in for special atten- | tton. The prince lingered longer in her stall than in the others. The grooms could see the British heir was pained at parting with his favorites, and watched him move from stall to stall with sympathetic interest. “Ah, 'ow 'e loves them 'unters,” one old groom said to his mate as the prince left the stables. Twelve thoroughbred hunters owned by the prince brought 3,997 guineas or approximately $20,000, The prince himself, who has been unable to devote as much time to hunting as usual because of his father's illness, paid his last farewell to his loved horses this afternoon, | uppearing at the auction to see them | sold.

A. B. Robertson was elected in 1919. Charges of graft and inefficiency marked the last two years of his term, and a rec- ommendation for impeachment | was defeated 1n a Republican legis lature by one vote. An indictment charging Robertson with bribery was dismissed. No sooner had Robertson * left than “Jack” Walton’s turbulent term began. Martial law was de- clared in several counties as flog- gings by masked bands led to Wal- ton's fight against the Klan. Charges of corruption piled up. Walton was impeached and ousted a year after his election. ‘ M. E. Trapp, who succeeded Walton, has his own difficulties as lieutenant governor, In 1921 im- peachment articles against him were quashed; the following year he was charged with perjury. A public argument arose be- tween Trapp and Ex-Governor Willlams when Trapp wanted to succeed himself as governor. A federal judge Williams said Trapp was ineligible for election, and the { supreme court sided with Williams. In Rural Sociology Lowell, Mass, Feb. 23 (M—The | famous Hood farm, where the late C. L.

READ HERALD ASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULT William A IlllllIVER ANGESTOR MIGRATED IN 1740 Andrew Hoover or “Huber” Lelt Germany for America New York, Feb. 23. UP—Presi- dent-elect Herbert Hoover is the lineal descendant of an American colonial who migrated from Ger- many in 1740, the American Herald- ry society in New York has discov- ered. The lineage of President 'ool- idge’s successor 'is clearly defined from that date on, genealogists have declared and the family tree is announced as follows: “Andrew Hoover (born Baden, Germany) settled in Marylani 1740. Married Margaret Fountz. Their son “John Hoover went to North Car- olina and thence to-Ohio and mar- ried Sarah Burket. Their son “Jesse Hoover settled at West Branch, lowa, and married Rebecca Yount. Their son “Eli Hoover (1820-1892) married, first Mary Davis. “Son af Jesse Clark Hoover (1840-1880) married Hulda Randall Minthorn. Their son, Herbert Clark Hoover, born at West Branch. Towa, August 10, 1874." The original spelling of the name was “Huber,” according to Harry M. Hoover, author of the “Huber- Hoover Family History.” The name is derived from German word “hube,” meaning the possessor of & tract of land. Other variations are Huver, Hover, Hoober. The crest of the family consists of a ducal coronet out of which sprifg two buffalo horns, The horns are characteristic of that early America to which Andrew Hoover came. In the language of heraldry, the horns signify honor and distinction. The arms show in first and fourth quarters a male sheep springing over three hills and, in other quarters, rose in full bloom with four leaves. Snow Storm Great Boon To Jobless in Boston Boston, Feb. 23, (®—While Bos- ton's more fortunate residents en- joyed a holiday yesterday, an army of 10,000 jobless men flocked into the yards of the city highway de- partment, railroads, street railways and private contractors to beg for jobs, shovelling snow. Only about 8,000 were hired. The heavy snowfall of Thursday provided Boston's unemployed with the first tangible source of @mploy- ment in many months. At one of the city highway yards it was reported that about 60 men waited in line all night hoping that they would be among the few who could be used. Y. P.

K Alexander learned to play bridge for fun, when she was thrown on her own resources by the death of her husband, she taught it for u livelihood until she could tit herself for a profession. She now is assis- tant manager of an insurance agency and vice president of the Chicago Auction Bridge club. “Some of my pupils were the wealthiest #nd brainiest women Chicago,” said Mrs. Alexander, “but they spent two years w ne without learning the game.

(UP)—The story of a bride, who with a few of lier pneumonia-stricken husband's comrades, trudged for three days through the snowbound northwest to take him by sleigh to the nearest hospital has just reached the Na- tional Park Service from the Yel- lowstone National Park. Here is the tale as it was told by an officlal of the Interior De- partment under which the park service functions: Jack Worth, the keeper of Old Faithful Inn in the Yellowstone. During his service in the World War one of his lungs became affected, making him sus- ceptablo to pneumonia. In the warm sunlight and dry air of the Yellowstone he was fast regaining his health, Last sum- mer he married Miss Lulu Bach, anether employee of the park. The two settled down for a honeymoon winter in spacious Old Faithful Inn. Last month heavy snows fell in the Yellowstone. Though he temperature ranged around 40 de- greeg below zero, Worth climbed to the roof of the Inn each day to shovel off the snow lest it cave in. The low temperature and raw air were too much for his weak lungs. He contracted pneumonia. The bride and her ill husband were isolated, — without doctor or medicine, Their only contact wi.h the outside world was by tel phone. 8Bhe summoned a few rang- ers who trudged through the snow to their aid. They talked of moving. Worth to a hospital by airplane, but decided a plane could not take off in the deep snow which surrounded the inn. Nor cow.d the park trucks make headway through it. As a last resort Worth was bundled up well and put on a sleigh. For threo days his wife and companions pushed through a snow-covered wilderness while the temperature dropped to 41 degrees below zero. On the third day they reached an outpost of civilization,—a smail railway station where a train was held five hours awaliting "the stricken man. By train Worth was taken to a Lospital at Livingston, Montana.
