Nacogdoches, Texas—Recent-
ly while a geologist and one
or two citizens of this place
were looking for oil structures
just across the Attoyao river
in Shelby county, using a very
sensitive instrument for the
purpose, the instrument sud-
denly in a wild and isolated
section began to act in a very
strange way.
On following its lead, the
men located a large copper
still in full operation. The in-
strument used by the geologist
is attracted to action when
in the vicinity of metal of any
kind.

Tours/ France, May 19—Bri-
gadier-General Robert H. Dun-
lap, United States Marine Corps
was buried under the collapsing
wall of Cinq Mars, a historic
tower here today, while at-
tempting to rescue a woman.
He was pinned under the de-
bris and police said there was
practically no chance that he
would be rescued alive.
Dunlap, who is here as a
French War College student,
was walking near the tower
when he noticed the wall crumb
ling. Seeing bricks falling up-
on a woman pedestrian, he
rushed forward to attempt to
save her. When he reached
her the whole wall was falling
and both were buried.
Mrs. Dunlap telephoned the
American ambassador at Paris
giving him the details.
Cinq Mars is an ancient brick
tower, 12 feet square and 100
feet high. Its origin is un-
known.
Co. two men were killed and i
five injured and property loss .
estimated at $ 100,(MM) was sus- .
tained.
