FOAMING COLORADO
GUARDS SECRET OF
missing man, WIFE
Hazardous Honeymoon Adven-
ture in Grand Canyon Is
Yelled in Mystery

Grand Canyon, Ariz., Dec. 21.-R1-
Belief that Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn Hyde,
who disappeared while navigating the
treacherous water Of the Colorado
river on hazardous honeymoon ad-
venture. still are alive spurred volun-
teers onward today in search Of the
couple.
But the foaming river guards its
secrets closely. A three-day airplane
search. in which Lieutenants John
Quincy Adams and w. G. Plummer.
army aviators.' risked their lives by
flying below the rocky canyon walls
Of the Colorado, ended yesterday after
having been partially successful.
The army airmen, descending 5000
feet into the canyon until they were
but so feet above the swirling water,
Wednesday located the home made
scow in which the .honeymooners
started down the river. It was
stranded on the waters edge at Sep
aration rapids, l3 miles below Dia-
mond creek.
The aviators flew down into the
canyon again yesterday but found no
further trace Of the missing couple,
who left here q month ago. They OBJ
served, however. that the scow was
intact and that suit cases and other
supplies carried by Mr.. and Mrs.
Hyde were In the boat. This gave
rise to the belief that the honeymoon
ers may have abandoned the scow
and now are wandering over nearby
waste lands In IN effort to find their
way back to civilization.
The hunt now devolves upon boat
and foot parties, already engaged in
tedious search for footprints. In an
effort to determine for certain II the
venturesome couple escaped the
rapids.

Arguments were presented to the

Francis Tucker, who is seeking ad-
mission to bail. Tucker was con-
victed in La Moure County Of the
murder Of Hans Bjone, Verona bank
er.
NJ. A. Hildreth. Fargo. represent
ing Tucker. contended that Judge
Charles Wolfe Of the district court
had no right to revoke the bail
granted Tucker pending appeal Of
his conviction to the supreme court.
He contended that Wolfe had lost
jurisdiction Of the case when the ap-
peal was taken. He also asked that
the supreme court fix bail on the
ground that Tucker Is entitled to bail
under the constitution.
James Morris. assistant attorney
general. argued that Judge Wolfe had
continuing jurisdiction over the per-
son Of the defendant and that thu
state law prohibits the granting o1
bail to persons convicted Of offensel
which are punishable by life i'm.

that The indictments were drawn

defendants; that only bank Officers

 Frequently, he says, the poor fish erman finds that upon casting his crab ashore, he must fight several "loafer" rats, who are too lazy to catch their own, and often he is com pelled to catch enough for the crowd before he gets one for himself.
 At any rate, he maintains, there is one advantage in this method of fishing. The fisherman is never in doubt as to whether he has had a bite or nibble." If anyone doubts his yarn, Capt. McNeil says they are at liberty to do so, but he is stickipg to his story.

ALASKA RATS ARE:
 FISHING WONDERS
 SAYS INVESTIGATOR

Of more than passing interest, says the Seattle Star, to science is the discovery of the Alaskan fisher rats , just reported by that dean of arctic shippers and explorers Captain Dan McNeal, upon his return to Seattle from the Aleutian chain. It will be remembered that it was the doughty McNeal who discovered the rare "goni bird" in ths northern wastes the bird who lays square eggs and
 It is near Amchitka, the farthest south point in Alaska, that the str ange and phenomenal breed of fish CT rats" have their habitat, Captair McNeal reports. Originally they came from ships which were blown of their course on the great circle rout 3 and wrecked on the barren isles. Multiplying rapidly, and marooned on islands devoid of vegetation ex cept grass, they were faced with starvation, until necessity drove them to fish for a living.
 From his scientific studies. Capt McNeal say he found that the ani mals were accustomed to pick out 2 lock near the shore. on which they would sit and dangle their tails in the water. The sea abounds with small crabs, who occasionally would nip the rats tails in their pincers. A quick flip of the tail and the rat. ir dexterous, spun the crab onto tho shore.

TAILS GROW TO FOUR FEET

Thru the strange process of nat ure, McNei insists, the rats tails Snaw longer and longer, enabling them to fish deeper and deeper, until TOW it is no uncommon sight to oh- serve rats running around with tai.s three or four feet long. The longe~ the tail, the more prestige the owner has in the rat colony. At first the rats tails were cruelty tortured by the crabs, but now, nature has come to their assistance, and each rat is born with hard bulb on the end Of lis tail
 From his observations, McNeil has come to the conclusion that the rats frequently hold fishing carnival, with contests to test their skill. He has wacthed them, lined up on the shore, squeaking encouragement to their champions seated on the rocks, as the contestants hurled crabs shoreward with their tails
