Bones Thought Those of Schick to Be Analyzed m Test to Show Whether Busi ness Partner of Missing Broker Is to Face Murder Charge. By International >ews Srriicf, San Diego, Cal., Oct. 22.—Thtvgrue some “kettle of bones,” found hidden in the chapparal on the side of a canyon back of the Mission Drive home of George Schick, missing realtor, was taken today to the lab oratory of Dr. H. A. Thompson, bone specialist. Dr. Thompson's scientific examination of the score or more of charred bone fragments, which offi cers feel confident are from a human body, will determine, according to District Attorney Kempley, whether or not E. Drew Clark will be charged with the slaying of his miss ing business partner. Clark, • Burns detective, said today, is a man of many aliases. He is a roamer and has worked as salesman in Seattle, Salt Bake, San Francisco, Honolulu and many other western cities. His correct name, the author ities claim, is Everett Drew Clark, and he has at various times trans posed the three words of his name, often omitting one or the other of them. More light was shed on the strange happenings at the Mission Drive home on the evening of February 7 last, the date of Schick's disappear ance, when F. A. Comstock, a neigh bor, appeared before the authorities and told of seeing several pieces of old furniture and three partly filled gunnysacks loaded Into a light truck. He and his wife noticed particularly he-said, because the dilapidated fur niture coming from a home they knew to contain only new things struck them as passing strange. Two hours later, however, they were non pulsed to see the truck return with the same furniture. Watching the affair, they said, it was noted that the furniture was unloaded, but the sacks were missing. Pending the completion of the an alysts of the bone fragments by Dr. Thompson, which is expected to con sume from one to four days, the two dozen detectives and county authori ties today redoubled their work along other lines The mystery has so many angles, they say, that many more days will be required to check up on all of them. One of the various lines of inquiry yet to be probed leads to the astrological and occult Influ ences on the lives of the three per sons now In Jail on charge of forgery—Clark, Mrs. Etta Drew Clark, his divorced wife, and Mrs. Schick, The latter has signed a full confession of forging the power of attorney by which possession of Schick's $75,000 estate was obtained, the confession implicating all three. Mrs. Schick was reported today to be under the care of the county phy sician. The nervous strain following the denouement overtaxed her pow ers of resistance, the condition being aggravated by the fact that she is expected to give birth to a child with in two months. The unborn little one, she has confessed. Is the child of Clark, whose attentions she was di rected by "messages from the stars,” to accept without reserve.* A renewed effort was also made today to elicit further Information from the two small children of the Schloks. whose names, shortly after the disappearance of their father, was without court order changed to Clark . . . “Out of the mouths of the babes,” a detective said, may come a clue that will lead to a solution of the mystery.

No "Ghost Catchers** Are Wanted to Solve Mystery of Ranch Glimmers Owner of Fowl If here Flickers Flit Sells Cows to Buy Stomps for Replies to Spook Hunters W ho Want Cash for Services. O'Neil. Neb. Oct. 22.—.lames Con nolly, owner of Holt county’s “ghost light” ranch, situated a few miles north of O’Neill, is not in the market for the services of any professional ghost catchers. Nor does he believe that the balls of ghostly luminosity which nightly flit and float about his pastures presage the early end of the world. His daily mail is swarnped with communications from those who, for a substantial remuneration, would come out and explain and do away with the ghost lights, and from those who see. in the ghostly manifestation* a forewarning of the early dissolution of the earth and quote scriptural ref erences in support of their conten tions. Mr. Connolly to date has faith fully replied to all of the communica tions and in doing so found it neces sary to sell a couple of cows to pay postage, so he will discontinue reply ing to letters in the future unless stamps are enclosed. He wishes the “world enders” to know thut he has faithfully perused all the scriptural references to which his attention has been called and see* nothing to be alarmed about. The lights have been just where they are ai far back as the oldest inhabitants can remember and the Indians have legends about them running back for a very long time. Mr. Connolly wants the professional ghost catchers, who seem mostly to reside in Chicago and New York, and who in several instances offer bank references as to their reputability, to taka notice that he does not give n hoot what causes the lights, as they do not bother him and have never bothered any one who dees not delve too deeply into their cause or origin. Any ghost catcher who come* out to Investigate, will do 'so solely on his own reponslbillty, says Mr. Connolly, but liefore he Is permitted to Investi gate he first will be required to sign the same kind of a release aviators require of their passengers. This precaution Mr. Connolly deems necessary, as there have been a num ber of mysterious dissappearknces In the ghost light district in years passed and lie refuses to be responsible for liny more. Among the first of these was that of James Grotman, several million years ago. Grotman, a masto don hunter from the north, ventured Into the ghost light district while engaged in the chase one day, against thy advice of other members of his tribe. He never came back. Although his wife and children have since mourned him ns dead his remains never were discovered until last year, when Mr. Connolly and Herbert Jan sen, a nlghbor, while blasting, found portions of his skeleton embedded In a matrik of limestone. These bones and the rock In which they were found Mr. Connolly keeps to show to others who would attempt to solve what does not concern them. The occupation of Constantinople by Great Britain since 1918 has cost England a little less than 1160,000,000. % Keep looking young by having the J right complexion 1 The first signs of age are shown in the skin.
