 TRIBE FOUND
Preserved Relics of 5000 Year Old Tribe Are
 Foundin Nevada

BERKELEY, Cal, April 1.-Pre- served for 5000 years under 25O tons of debris in a Nevada Noun tain cave, records of an extinct race are being studied by the University of California anthropol- ogists
 Ten thousand specimens have been recavered in a remarksSle state of preservation and are re- garded as chronicles of a fighting red headed tribe of American In- dians who were exterminated while Europe was still a wilderness.
 The cavern is known to have been formed thousands of years ago by waves of an ancient lake long since disappeared.
 The people who inhabited the place are mentioned in Piute h. dian legends as cannibalistic say ages devoid of fear who were an- initiated by the Flutes in a three year war about the year 1000 It is thought the sudden extermina- tion may account for preservation of some many possessions of the ancient people and were kept dry by the Nevada climate The articles discovered are compared to those found in Egypt and Peru. Among the articles are baskets, mating, wooden implements, weapons and sandals.
