Man Buried Hour
In Snow—Lives
WENATCHEE, </P) — Death
never seemed closed to W. R. <Rili)
Hoard, Wenatchee radio station
news editor, than it did Sunday
when he was buried beneath a tre
mendous mass of snow following
a Barrier Mountain avalanche
near Stevens Pass.
Hoard said he was going up a
ski lift to get a toboggan for an
injured skier when he was struck
by the surprise avalanche. He was
buried more than an hour. The
weight of the snow prevented him
from moving his arms or body.
“I coulldn’t seem to budge a
muscle,” Hoard said in describing
his plight. “I ate some snow to
make breathing room, and then
when I tried to move my hand, I
found I was able to feed myself
more snow for more air.”
“The events of my past life did
not appear before me as I had of
ten heard was the case in death by
suffocation. I thought of my wife
and two children, added up my
life insurance and the next thing
I knew someone said ‘he’s s i’l
alive’.”

British Honduras |
_ i
■LONDON, (/P)—The, admiralty
announced yesterday the British
cruiser Sheffield has sailed from 1
Colombia for British Honduras.

possible incidents staged by irre
sponsible elements in neighboring
Guatemala.” The informant re
fused to elaborate.
A foreign office spokesman said
there recently had been a “viru
lent campaign” against Britain in
the Guatemalan press.
“No doubt,” the spokesman said,
“it has its origin in recent events
in the Antarctic.7
The Guatemalan press and gov
ernment have supported the
claims of Argentina and Chile to
the British-claimed Falkland Is
lands off the southeast coast of
Argentina. i
Algeria has about the same
number of people as Ohio.

f:,ed into his chest.
Warnock said- the boy, Charles
Rimer, and his mother, Mrs. Al
'.yne Larson, 35, told him the
shooting followed a party at a
neighbor’s home. Warnock said
they told this story:

Larson and she left to escape his
attentions. Several hours later
Vreeland appeared at her home.
Vreeland struck Mrs. Larson
and the boy warned him to leave
or he would shoot.
