Evidence Points To Man Killed By Bear MISSOULA, Mont. <UPl'—Authorities made laboratory studies today of evidence that a missing hunter was killed and, eaten after a battle with a bear—probably a grizzly. Mute evidence of the struggle was found by a search party in a mountain meadow near Ovando, high on the western slopes of the Continental Divide northeast of here. It may solve the mystery of what happened to Sam Adams, about 45. of Missoula. He vanished last Oct. 27. while hunting with two companions. His friends, Ed Hodges, 40. and Calvin Trusty. 52, both of Missoula, led the search party to the area where the three hunters had split up. Heavy snow prevented an earlier search. The party found Adams’ rifle, \ LOST 25 POUNDS IN 30 DAYS TAKING REGIMEN TABLETS WITHOUT A DIET $3.00 and $5.00 ' I SIZES I i KOHNE I DRUG STORE <

smashed in three parts, his wallet,. shoes and tattered bits of clothing. They also found bear signs and remnants of halfdigested clothing, human bones and hair. The shoes were scarred with teeth marks. Evidence of the battle was strewn in a 50-foot circle. Special Deputy Charles Schmiedeke, head of the Missoula County rescue unit, reconstructed this story from the evidence: “It looks like Adams wounded a bear. He used all but two cartridges in the battle, but was hurt. “He apparently crawled alongside a log and tried to light a fire to get warm. He removed the shoelaces, probably to use as tourniquets. Then it looks like he fired his last two bullets to summon aid. “Then the bear reappeared — and Adams used his gun as a club.’’ Schmiedeke said the enraged animal either devoured the body on the spot—bones and all—or dragged most of the bones to his 'den and buried them. He pointed iout it was close to hibernation time when Adams disappeared. “The evidence indicates positively that Adams was,, killed and eaten in a wild battle with a raging bear,” Schmiedeke said.

Begins Attempt To Swim Lake Michigan CHICAGO (UPD — Life guard Joe Griffith splashed into the cold waters of Lake Michigan 15 minutes late today on his third attempt to swim 36% miles to Michigan City, Ind. Griffith, 31, said he felt fine. If he reaches his goal he will have set a world’s record tor open water swimming. The swim was expected to take between 30 and 40 hours. He entered the water at the 14th St. police dock at 7:15 a. m. after a rubdown with lanolin to protect him from the cold. The swim has been sponsored since 1957 by Jim Moran, a Chicago auto dealer. Moran arranged for two escort craft and a helicopter to follow Griffith. Moran had intended to use a 110-foot sub chaser, the Mantra, as the lead boat but was notified Monday that the ship has developed a cracked stem and would not be able to make the trip. The 39-foot Richardson Ruth M. replaced the Mantra as guide beat. The second boat is the Northland, a 25-foot double ender sloop. Moran said the helicopter will be used to help keep the boats on ■ course. The loss of the Mantra, Moran I said, was “the fifth tough break” Griffith has encountered in trying to conquer the lake. “Every effort will be made to keep Griffith on course regardless of weather conditions,” Moran ! said. “We have received the coI operation of the Indiana State I Police radio beacon at Indiana Dunes which will give the Ruth M. a course signal every half hour—night and day.” Griffith originally intended to begin his try this year July 6 but postponed the swim because a flotilla of warships was steaming to Chicago, as well as the royal yacht Britannia, bringing Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. Griffith had to give up after 17 miles and 12% hours on the first attempt in 1957 because of a strong northeast wind. Last summer, Griffith was within 10 miles of the Michigan City shoreline after 28 hours and 35 minutes in the water. It was estimated that the life guard actually swam 36 miles last year but was led off course by navigational errors. Jerre Haute Man Is Killed In Accident TERRE HAUTE, Ind.
