 APACHE RESERVATION

WHITE RIVER, Apache Reserva- tion, Ariz, July 25. (P-The body of Miss Henrietta Schmeler, g, anthropology student of Columbia University, New York;. was found in a shallow ravine near Fort Apache cemet tery Friday. The earth had been trampled, evidenc- ing a struggle. She was accus- toned to set out on hiking expc- ditionS alone.
 The girl disappeared last Sat- urday and because she mingled freely with men of the tribe the theory is advanced she may have been the victim of tribal jealousy as her conduct aroused the anil mostly of women in the tribe, but authorities said there was no con- firmation to this angle
 The body was unmarked which led to the belief if the girl was murdered, she was smothered.
