Prehistoric Mosaic Work
Discovered in Arizona

washington. - The Department OF
the Interior reported the finding OF .
cache Of prehistoric work In the Casa
Grande National monument, Arizona,
such as has never before been found
in the Southwest.
The mosaIcs, which were discOv-
cred in repairing the walls Of the pre-
historic old ruin Of Casa Grande. show
that the craftsmanship Of the prehistoric
peoples who once inhabited this re-
gion was the equal OF any other south
western culture, and it closely APP
proaches that Of modern times IN
beauty Of design and workmanship.
Three pieces Of mosaic were found,
two Of them being in the form OF
birds and the third representing q
turtle. The largest bird is the best
preserved. This was made on a
wooden core, with the mosaics placed
In the wax. Each bit~of stone had
been worked out in a pyramidal shape,
and 492 stones were used in the bird
alone. The bird measures about 4h
inches from wing-tip to wing-tip, with
a large piece Of red shell in the center
to form a contrasting motif. The
turtle, which is the largest design, Is
composed of 1,129 stones.
With these mosaics we're found q
set of perfectly matched turquoise
pendants and over 900 shell beads.

Five Burned to Death
At Highlands

Four persons, trapped in the attic Of
q garage apartment at Water WITCH
lost their lives early Sunday morning,
when flames swept the two and one
half story building at the rear o.
Cedar Grove hotel on the river front
The dead, tho charred beyond recog'
milton, we're identified by William Ill,
Corners. owner of the building, as.
Conover Smith 6S, a gardener.
John Thompson. "a, a laborer.
Scottie NMalcolmson: AZ, a laborer.
Fred Carlson, 80, laborer.
A family of three and iwo roomers
escaped JUS as the narrow passage
way t om the second floor apartment
to the ground was cut off by smoke
and flames.
On the second floor Of the two and
one-half story garage and apartment
lived Mr.. and Mrs. Peter 81 mond
and their daughter, Ellen, three. Ed
die smith and Oscar Wise. about
whom little is known, rented rooms
on the second fl or. In the garage
section were three automobiles.
The victims lived in separate
rooms in the attic port OF the
building, which was connected with
the lower floor by a narrow stair
way. The building was built Of tim
Der and stncco and burned quickly.
At 3 Sunday morning Mrs. Sig
mond was awakened by smoke and
the sound of groans emanating from
the upper floor. She screamed to her
husband. then dashed to a window
and called for help. Herbert Black,
q son-n-law Of Corners, who is en-
gagged as a Waterman at the hotel,
heard her screams and ran to atele-
phone. He could not get the fire de-
partment, however, so ran several
blocks before he found a policeman.
Howard A. Johnson desk sergeant at
Highlands, turned in an alarm,
In the meantime Mrs. Sigmond had
seized her child and with her husT
band, awaked Smith and Wise,
who were in adjoining rooms. The
five pressed thru the smoke filled hall
to the stairway and succeeded in reach
ing the ground.
When the Highlands fire depart
ment arrived a few minutes later the
flames were burning fiercely between
the second floor and attic. Two
firemen tried to force their way ur
the stairway to rescue the trapped
men, but they were forced ba k, ont
fireman, being overcome. He wai
| quickly revived however.
Ladders were then raised to the at
tic. Suddenly, as a fire axe shattered
a window, a huge sheet of flames shot
thru the roof and engulfed the build
ing. The firemen slid half way down
the ladder and dropped the uther hall
to ground. An instant later the build.
ing collapsed.
Trouble was experienced in get
ting water due to lack of pressure
flremen said, and it was finally neces
sary to run a line to the Shrewsbury
river. The fire was brought under
control in an hour and the hotel anc
out buildings saved. 1t was not,
however, until late Sunday morning
that rescue parties, W, rking in the
oharred ruins, made their first grin
find.
Several Of Smiths relatives attended
the funeral on Monday, but so far nj
iclue to survivors have been found OIL
Thompson, Malcolmson or Caslon.
Mr.. Conner paid the expenses Of
the funerals.
