D|NOSAUR HUNTERS
UPTURN RICH FINDS
Hard Rock Mining Under
Mountain Yields Fossil
Vertebrate Collection.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, December 90
} Underneath the Sugar Loaf mountains
near here, IN tunnel 400 feet below the
SUBMITS, Yale paleontologistS have
found In solid rock more than 80 foot
prints of animals that lived about 100
million years ago.
Announcement of the discoveries re-
veais that for what is believed to be the
first time fossil vertebrateS have been
collected from great distances in the
earth through extensive tunneling. The
Yale work was done in a bore nearly
3 miles long, DR.. Malcolm r.
Thorpe, curator of vertebrate paleontol-
ogy Of Peabody Museum of Yale, and his
staff hunted the fossils.
In the garb of hard rock miners, with
air drills for tools, they cut the tracks
out of solid rocks, which the 10-foot
bore penetrated One slab thus cut
weighed 800 pounds. Many Of the foot
prints came from the roof of the bore
The tunnel crossed for mile and a
half several layers of rock bearing tracks
of dinosaurs and other four-footed rep
tiles, and probably Of amphibianS. With
scarcely an exception the footprints
pointed north or south. Reconstructlng
the scenes of millions of years ago, Dr.
Thorpe thought that river probably
flowed from the north, and that the
animals followed course parallel to a
north and south waterway.
Most of the tracks recovered were of
dinosaurs, ranging from animals as big
as large tabby cats to 30-foot beasts.
The majority of the dinosaur tracks
were of the carniverous species, those
with vulture-like, grasping claws in
their toes. Herbiverous species were
present.
The footprints ranged from an inch
and a half long to about two feet.
There were found also fossil fishes, an
eestors of the surgeons, garpikes and
bowf1ns of today. Other fossils were
branches of trees, mostly varieties of
conifers The tunnel prints extended
by 10 miles the known range of dino
Saurs in the Connecticut Valley, and by
many thousand years the known dura-
ton of existence of several of the
species.
DR.. Thorpe said that the tracks were
made by animals walking in sand or
mud. These footprints were presum-
ably filled by wind blown sand, and
finally buried deep under it. All this
happened in the triaSSic age, from 100 to
100 million years ago, when the centra!

WEALTHY COUPLE
 KILLED IN HOME Former Mayor Of Illinois Town
 and Wife Shot ASSAILANT NOT KNOWN

J. c. Hundley Murdered as He Pre-
 pares for Bed - Killer Escapes
 From Butlding-Revenge Seen as
 Motive.
 Carbondale. H.. Dec. 13 R-J. c. Hundley. wealthy pioneer and former mayor of Carbondale, and his wife, were shot to death shortly before last midnight by an intruder in their home.
 Shot In Head
 Hundley, who was 76 years old. was shot m the head as he undressed for bed. The intruder, who appar- ently had lurked in the bedroom. fled downstairs and chased Mrs. Hundley up a back stairway. killing her in- stantly with three pistol shots. He turned off the lights, went out the front door, locked it. and escaped.
 Neighbors. awakened by the shots, entered by back door and found Mrs Hundley dead and Hundley un- conscious. He died shortly after ward. Mrs. Hundley. his second wife. was 67 years old.
 Revenge Motive
 Revenge for a killing of nearly 70 years ago suggested itself to police as a motive for Hundley's staying. He once killed a music teacher, they recalled. for holding tryst with his first wife. He was acquitted. plead- ing the unwritten law. His first wife, who obtained divorce soon after the killing. now lives in Mem phis Tenn.
 Mrs. Hundley was shot. police be- lieved. because the slayer feared she might recognize him. Her pocket book was found near the front door. as if dropped by the slayer in his haste to escape. Hundley's watch. which he held when shot. was not taken. and his pocketbook was un- touched.
 Takes No Loot
 It was the slayer's failure to take any loot from the wealthy couple that strengthened police belief in their theory of revenge.
 Bloodhounds from East St. Louis aided police today in their search for the slayer. The Hundley home. probably the most pretentious in the city, was in well-lighted district two blocks from the center of town.
 Not Awakened
 V. A. Hundley. the pioneers only son, is the sole heir to tho family estate. Although he lived two doors away, he was not awakened by the shooting.
 Mrs. Hundley's brother-iu-law. E. E. Mitchell. was former treasurer of Illinois.
 The couple had. planned to leave this week for their winter home in Florida.

TEX RICHARD LOSES
 PROMOTION CHANCE
Had Opportunity to Stage Fight Between Be-
 livia and Paraguay

New York, Dec.-tR)-Tex Rick ard made known today how in 1913 he lost the chance to promote the biggest fight of his career-a war between Bolivia and Paraguay.
 Rickard spent eight years in Para quay. going there in 1912 with 20 Texas cowboys sent by the Farqua- har syndicate engaged in the cattle industry and development of the countrys resources"
 'In 1913." said Rickard. "I came up through the Argentine with 20 cowboys, 5O.O00 head of cattle and d train of about 50 wagons. with the idea of crossing into Paraguay across the Pilcomayo river. the boundary between Paraguay and the Argentine.
 Well. as soon as we got into Paraguay we came across a lot Of forts, all filled with Bolivians. All these Bolivians-soldiers theX were said that if we didn't turn back they'd shoot ua
 "Wel. we thought we'd better go around, so we came out again and went south through the Argentine to Asuncion and into Paraguay across the eastern boundary. the Paraguay river. When we got there we told them how there were a lot of Bolivians sitting in forts in the middle of Paraguay. and that vexed them . bit. It was the first they'd heard of 1t, I guess.
 Anyway. they all came around to me. The president. the cabinet and everyone. and they told me that if I'd go out and fight the Bolivians they'd give me all the soldiers l wanted and more. They'd give me an army. in fact.
 Well. I didn't like to act without instructions. % I wired to my people in Buenos Ayres and they cabled to MT. Farquahar in Paris. He didn't want a war. though: he had too many big interests: he had too much at stake. And 50 I missed my chance to lead an army"
 The promoter of pugilistic fights said he still owns 500 square miles of land in the Gran Chaco, the disputed territory. He said he had granted grazing privileges to . group of Americans and that the land might come in useful some day.

 Public health service officials have said that the disease apparently is not as whispered. nor as virulent in character. as the outbreaks of 1918 and 1920. but they refused to mako any predictions as to the probable cause of the malady. That. it was stated. would depend largely on the death rate.
 That has shown an increase lately. as has the general death rate in ths United States. Information submit- ted to the bureau of census showed 1S9 deaths fin 77 cities for the week ending December 5. as compared to 43 deaths Tn the same cities during the week ending November 3.
 Health service officials believe there are more than 2o0,000 cases of influenza in the country at present, 4o.510 having been reported in 3s states. New York city and the Dis. trict of Columbia.
 Kansas leads all the states fin ne number of reported cases with 13.. 596. California being next with 1O.- 296. Other states with more than 8 thousand cases include: Montana, 4.5S0: South Carolina. BIAS: Ore- gon. 466 and Colorado, 1.936.
