Blind Blizzard Blocks
Cattlemen’s Plan Drive
Deer New Grazing Lands
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Jan. 2.—Eforts J
of men to relieve the plight of thou- j
sands of deer starving in the Kaibab i
national forest met failure last night
when George McCormick, veteran cat
tleman, conceded the futility of an at
tempt to drive the herd across the j
inaccessible chasm of the grand can-1
yon of the Colorado river.
Insurmountable obstacles were en
countered by McCormick’s army of
cowboys and Indians in a blinding
blizzard that swept the wilderness
and stampeded the animals in all di
rections.
The first word of the outcome of j
the drive—an unparalleled task in
western range annals—was brought j
to Flaggstaff last night by a score of
motion picture men who bucked
great drifts and sleetstorms in auto
mobiles to come from the scene of
the attempted roundup, north of the
canyon. They were accompanied by
Zane Grey, the author.
McCormick’s plan was to drive the
•deer across a slender trail over the
mesas and pricipices stretching for
more than thirty miles in the canyon
to the south rim, where better feed
ing grounds awaited the congested
herd, which has added thousands to
its numbers since the Kaibab w^s
created a national game refuge by
President Roosevelt in 1906.

eral Carl Sherman has been asked to

DENVER, Colo., Jan, 2.—Because j

God which seeks normal expression.”

Seventeenth Avenue Community
Church here, under the direct sup
ervision of the pastor, Rev. David
H. Fouse.
Mr. Fouse announced that classes
of instruction in modern ballroom
dancing will be conducted at the
church every Friday evening.
Despite the fact that certain re
ligious denominations and clergymen
frown upon the pastime, Dr. Fouse'
declares that “there is good in danc
ing.”
“I see nothng revolutionary about
the establishment of a daneng class
in my church,” Dr. Fouse said. “It
is merely the application of the prin
ciples of that xecognized Chrstian
philosopher who said, ‘Be not over
come of evil, but overcome evil with
good’.”

GOVERNOR COMES
TO DEFENSE OF
ACCUSED WARDEN
PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 2.—(AP).
—Governor Hunt of Arizona, today
issued a statement declaring that
charges that Warden Robert Sims,
of the state penitentiary had severed
the heads from the bodies of two
men executed at the state prison
were sent by the warden,” Governor
that any state law had been violated.
‘‘I have in my files an exhaustive
report on these skulls as made by
the anthropological experts of the
Carnegie Institute to whom they
were sent by thewarden,” Governor
Hunt said in his statement. “In us
ing the skulls for scientific research
purposes, Warden Sims was guilty of
no crime, for the situation was this:
“Any friends or relatives of the
dead men had a right to claim the
bodies. They were not claimed and
as a result were placed in the pot
ter’s field. Having remained there
several months, with no claims hav
ing been presented for them. Warden
Sims assumed the authority that he
had as much right to the disposition
of the bodies as any one and can
ceived th& idea of using the skulls
for scientific research.”
The complaints filed against War
den Sims at Florence, Ariz., yestci
dy by Mrs. E. C. Howard, of Phoen
ix, charging him with a felony in
that he did “wilfully and unlawfully
aid, abet ancI cause the dead bodies
of Paul V. Hadley and Theodore
West to be removed from their
graves and their heads severed with
out authority of law.”

Mysterious Poultry
Disease In New York
CHICAGO, Dec. 31 (AP)— A mys
terious disease which has caused the
New York city health department to
declare an embargo on live chickens
from North Dakota, South Dakota,
Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa and Nebraska, has spread thru
out many sections of the United
States but is especially prevalent in
the Middle West, poultrymen attend
ing the national poultry show here
said tonight.
The cause of the ailment which in
almost every case proves fatal is not
known, according to A. G. Phillips,
professor of poultry husbandry in
Perdue university. It settles at the
base of the windpipe which becomes
congested, causing death* by strangu
lation. The disease is contracted
when the chickens are in transit or
while they are being fattened for sale.

Eastern Watchers Will
See Eclipse of the Sun
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 (AP)—The
total eclipse of the sun on Saturday,
January 24, 1925, will be visible in the
eastern sectoin of the United States
if the weather is favorable in a shad
ow reaching from Minnesta just east
|of Red Lake, extending over Michi
gan, part of Canada, New York, Penn
sylvania, to New Jersey, Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Naval observers say that it will
be the first time the East has been
able to witness a total solar eclipse
for many years. The center path of
the eclipse will run very nearly thru
such centers of population as Buffalo,
N. Y., and New Haven, Conn. The
eclipse will terminate in the Atlantic
ocean, north of the British isles. Com
munities outside the shadow path will
witness the .eclipse as partial.
In the Hudson river area the shad
ow path will be about 110 miles broad,
the Naval observatory believes, while
in Minnesota it will be about 85
miles.
