Cicero tried a couple of shots,
Thompson was open under the hoop,
but apparently was nervous, and
missed. Huffman took the ball off
the blackboard, dribbled down,

one. and Newcastle was out in front,

Thoman one-handed counter.
Newcastle was not Understanding

Makes Point on Foul
Thoman made a point on Sherer'S
foul. Thompson fouled Huffman,
whose shots from the line rolled
around the hoop and out, but Hick-
man batted the leather in for
two points. Score: Newcastle, 7;
Cicero, 0.
VoSS shot from out in midcourt,
but the try was short. Scherer was
waiting under the hoop and as the
ball came down caught it and
pushed it back up for Ciceros first
field goal. On an out-of-bounds
play in the corner, Scherer passed
in to Voss, who made one-hander
over his head for two more Cicero
points, as the quarter ended.
Score: Newcastle, z; Cicero, 4.
Scherer fouled Thoman as the
second quarter opened, and the
Newcastle star made two free losses.
Huffman dribbled in fast and Voss
fouled him before he tried for the
hoop. Huffman connected for one

By United Press
MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va, March
19.-Harry F. Powers, calm as he
was the day police dug up five
bodies behind his garage at Quiet
Dell, was hanged Friday night for
the murder of Mrs. Dorothy Press
lar Lemke of Northboro, Mass.
Hers was one of the five bodies,
all of which bore evidence of hav-
ing been hanged or Strangled.
The mail order Bluebeard"
called because he wooed his victims
by mail through matrimonial
ageney-was asked if he had any
thing to say before he died.
NO" he replied quietly. A slight
twitching of the lips was his only
indication of nervousness.
Dressed in Black Suit
Powers was dressed in a black suit
with a pin stripe. He wore a
rather flashy blue tie and white col
lar.
Just before 8 o'clock he was led
to the platform of the state peni-
tertiary gallows. At his trial ~
ClarkSburg the state commended he
had executed his victims two
women and three children-in his
garage, a windowlesS structure with
a moose and trap door.
Friday night he stood high on a
platform over a trap door. "A moose
of thick bull rope was passed over
his head.
A crowd of forty, including state
and prison officials, doctors, police
men, and one of the jurors who has
convicted him, stood in the area be-
low, watching tensely.
Accused of Five Sayings
The moose was adjusted. A war
den reached out and pressed a but
ton. The buzz could be heard
plainly.
In answer to the signal three
deputies pulled at ropes, none
knowing which was opening the
trap over which Powers was stand
ing.
The trap swung open. Powers
squat body dropped heavily. It was
snapped short at the end of the
rope-and Powers was dead.
Eleven minutes later physicians
who applied stethoscopes pro-
nouced Powers dead.
In addition to the murder of Mrs.
Lemke, Powers was accused Of kill
ing Mrs. Asia Buick Eicher of Oak
Ridge, ILL.,, another widow wooed
by mail, and her three children.
Police believed he may have been
implicated in other murders.

Huffman went to side center and
banked one high on the blackboard
for two points, just before the half
ended.
Thompson passed in from out OF
bounds to VosS and the little Red

basket as he heaved the ball into
the net. The crowd was in tur-

Miss Chance to Tie Score
Cicero tried another of those short
shots and Scherer was under the
basket to catch the ball, and was
fouled by White. He missed both
shots, a chance to tie the score:
Newcastle, IA; Cicero, II.
Cicero reSorted to a man-to-man
defense in the third quarter and
Newcastle found it much more di1f1-
cult to penetrate.
The crowd groaned and booed as
a couple of Cicero attempts came
close. Thompson was under the
basket and took pass, but was
fouled by Hickman as he sought a
field goal, but the center made only
one of two free losses, leaving New
castle still one point ahead.
Huffman, from the center circle,
gave the Trojans three-point lead
at the end of the third quarter.
Score: Newcastle, Is; Cicero, Is.
Huffman gave the Troians a
wider working margin as he sent
in another long one. The Trojans
were using a delayed offense, hold
ing the ball in the back of the court
much Of the time. They broke
quickly, however, and Hickman
went down for a short field basket.
Thoman broke fast and went
down for another try, but was
fouled by Ferris. He missed his
first foul shot out of six attempts.

Fl. SMITH, Mackenzie, March
1.-Two rock cairns in the haunted
Thelon river hills today started the
Royal Canadian mounted police on
another man hunt-one that may
take three years, and lead the red
coated corps to the Arctic oceans
border.
The cairns mark the bodies of Ed
ward Olson and Emanuel H. Bode
slain about Dec. 5, 1880, as they
slept in their solitary tent on The
lon river, northeast of Great Slave
lake, in a country called by the
Indians bewitched.
For the murder, police officers
seek Tekaluk, an Eskimo last seen
a year ago about to start a long
journey to the Arctic coast, 500
miles northward
Discovery of the slayings gave a
graphic picture of the subarctic
wilderness where the newest drama
of the "mounties' is being played.
Pack of Huskies Bares Murders
In September of last year, How
ard George Price, trapper of the
Thelon river region, saw a pack of
huskies roaming through the woods
which he believed was that of the
slain trappers.
He investigated and found the
mems bodies. Nearby we're the
skeletons of seven dogs, chained to
a. post.
For weeks in the solitary hills
he met no one to whom he could
entrust his finding Then by an
Eskimo he sent note to trapper
Clark Croft.
Croft sent the news by an Indian
courier to TT Reliance on the east
ern end Of Great Slave lake. The
Indian arrived there Dec % and
told his story to Constable Gray.
Then came wait until the Arc
tic patrol reached FIT. Reliance
bringing Inspector Gagnon, with
whom Gray set out over the snow
banked trails, reaching the Thelon
river camp Feb. 10.
Rude Cairn Marks Graves
They held a rude inquest and de-
termined the men we're slain with ak
and knife more than year before.
Travelling by dog team, Gray and
Gagnon questioned the few trap
pers and Indians of the district.
They learned Tekaluk was nearby
at the time of the Sayings and that
he carried a rifle similar to one
missing from the camp.
Trapper Evan Peterson said he
met Tekaluk in snow hut near the
Bode camp last March and that the
Eskimo signed something with his
fingers about two men,
Peterson could not understand the
Eskino's sign language, but said
Tekaluk was frightened and about
to leave for the Arctic coast.
Leaving a rude cairn Of stones to
mark the two graves, the police
officers trekked back through
bhnoing storms and bitter weather.
Radio Sends Word to Search
Friday after an 800-mile round
trip in the heart of winter, they
arrived with the report, and the
radio which links the northern OUT
posts cracked the news to listen
ing officers and trappers from Mac
Kenzie to Hudson bay.
The message was to watch for
Tekaluk. Meanwhile, patrols are
being fitted out to hunt the desolate
wastes
The Thelon river region is said
by Indians to be cursed. Four other
murders and suicides in the dis
trict are pointed to by them as evil
dence of evil spirits.

Trapper Convinces British
Officials in Brazil of
His Sincerity.
BY C. A. POWELL
United Press STAFF Correspondent

tCopyright 1882, by United Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, March 19.-
Stephan Rattin prepared today to
plunge into the dense, green wilds
of the Brazilian jungle, infested
with deadly reptiles and insects, in
search of Colonel P. H. Fawcett,
whose relatives were "overjoyed" at
Rattin's description of white man
he found held captive by Indians.
Colonel Fawcett's wife, at, Mon
treux, Switzerland, was "overjoyed
and confident" The explorers sis
ter in London said hope greatly was
increased that Fawcett was still
alive.
The United Press told Rattin that
Mrs. Fawcett was convinced that
the bearded, tanned white man he
found at an Indian village was her
husband, who disappeared seven
years ago in search of a lost civ
ilization."
Wife Gives Description
Mrs. Fawcett furnished descrip-
ton of a few characteristics of her
husband, which Rattin expected to
be very helpful. His hands were
very unusual, she said, with very
long palms and short fingers, con-
spicuously webbed.
He carried a strange black stat
uet, given him by Sir Rider Hag-
gard, on all his exploration trips.
He wore signet ring bearing the
family crest, dolphin.
British Consul General Charles
Goodwin said he was convinced of
Rattin's sincerity after seeing his
maps and listening to his strange
story of the jungle.
"Rattin'S story is so close to the
facts in Colonel Fawcetts disap-
pearance and his statements ring so
true that we are going into the
matter further" Goodwin said.
Rattin is a short, swarthy man,
deeply tanned by years of exposure
to the jungle sun. He has NOUS
tache, is 5 feet 6 inches tall, and
weighs about 100 pounds. Rattin
was born at st. Galent, Switzer-
land, in 1890, and came to the Ar
gentine twenty-six years ago.
Trapper Long in Jungle
Two years later he went into the
region of the Gran Chao and began
trapping and living with the In
dams. He was known among them
as the "Cacique Rubio," or blond
chief. He travelled extensively on
the frontiers of Bolivia, Argentina,
Chile and Brazil, trapping and seek
ing gold and precious stones.
Rattin went to Mexico in 1915,
where he made living as trapper
among the Bacatete and Yaqui In
dams. He came back to South
America in 1916 and began trading,
trapping and hunting for diamonds
in the Matte Crosse country four
teen years ago.
