Mining Claim Feud Ends in
Four Cornered Death
in Alaska Woods

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 10
What started as a routine investi-
cation of an aged prospectors' sui
eide. led to the discovery that the
prospector, Dick Francis, about go,
slew three persons before killing
himself.
District Attorney J. w Kehoe
made the announcement after re-
turning from Francis lonely noun
tain cabin on Cache Greek.
The bodies of two victims were
found covered with grass and leaves,
a protruding foot leading to the
discovery
Kehoe said there are indications
the third victim was a woman.
The bodies of the two men found
were j. w. jenkins, about so, long
time enemy of Francis, and Joy
Brittle, aged about 25.
jenkins wife disappeared Septem-
Der 10, and it is believed her body
is somewhere in the vicinity OF the
cabin. Seven men are conducting a
search for her body.
The triple Staying and suicide
Kehoe said was apparently the out
growth of long standing feud be-
tween Jenkins and Francis over
mining claim rights.
A coroner's jury studied the case,
but withheld a verdict pending dis
covery of the third body

against South's six-heart contract To prove that the age of miracles has not entirely passed, the grand slam contract was made with the opening lead of the spade ace. That card was ruffed, and dummy had just enough trump entries to establish spades for club discards
 Where bidding had followed more conventional lines, South played the hand at six hearts. He was able to make the contract de- spite his two apparent losers, as West could make no lead that would not sacrifice trick. The diamond lead permitted an imme- diate ruff and discard of declar- CTS losing club, and a club lead would give a free finesse.
 Of course, the seven-diamond contract was defeated two tricks where heart was opened by north. as the needed entry to es- tablish and run the spades did not then exist in dummy.
