Exact Cause Unknown An autopsy Monday night failed to determine the exact cause of death. ; Dr. Lee Bockacker, a medi cal examiner for the Los An geles county coroner's office, said further laboratory tests would.be necessary. - Sheriff's officer Walter Thornton of the Montrose sub station, reported, however, that Hubele, a researcher in biochemistry, had been suf fering from multiple sclerosis for seven years and had been treating himself with hista mine diphosphate and other medications. :.The disease attacks the brain, or spinal cord - or both - causing parts of the nerve tissue to degenerate. It also is associated with partial or complete paralysis and jerk ing tremors of the muscles.. Partially Paralysed ' Hubele had become partial ly paralyzed, although he still could drive the car in which his body was found.

Ellis, 47, to the home he had found for the winter a small cave high in the rocks of the western Berkshires, overlooking the Harlem Valley, farmland. "It's beautiful country," said Police Sgt. Earl D. Hanchett. - In the small cave officers found a few blankets, a few clothes, a rifle and shotgun, empty food cans and the bones of the rabbits and deer Ellis had shot for food. He went peaceably with the troopers. He made no fuss as they lodged bim in the Columbia county jail at Hudson to await a grand jury action. . Burglaries Suspected And nobody still knows much about why Jim Ellis chose to live as he did. Hanchett guessed that he was suspected of a cou ple of burglaries and simply hid in the hills because "he didn't want to be arrested." Ellis is suspected of about 20 burglaries, almost all of summer cabins broken into after their city-dwelling owners had locked them up for the winter.

GOLD HILL GRANGE HALL ADMISSION -$1.00 EACH PERSON mi Panther's Scream Chilling .. But Ha Isn't So Bad .. The so-called "scream of the panther" has become a phrase that sends chills down the spines of the timid. We hear the phrase more often than we hear the scream. Usually the panther is painted as a pretty shady character, but Nine Lectures on Securities and Investing Planned Free adult courses consist ing of nine lectures on secur ities and investing are being offered in ' Medford by . Wal ston and Co., Inc., member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, John Hale Foster announced today. . ; , Foster said "the course is purely educational. No speci fic stocks are recommended," he continued, "nor is anyone urged to invest. Instead types of securities are described, dif ferent methods of investing are explained, and the risks as. well . as the , rewards of stock ownership' are pointed out. Ample time is allowed for . a question - and-answer period following each of the nine lectures.'" ; AH classes will be conduct ed .by. experienced brokers who are account executives of Walston and Co.; The lec tures will be illustrated with films,' economic charts and other visual aids. Informative booklets, including a glossary of investment terms, are dis tributed to classes' without charge. . . , , , Lecture topics include: "Why Stocks and Bonds?" followed by "Types of Secur ities," "The New York Stock Exchange and the Broker," "Objectives of Your Invest ment Program," "Information Investors Should Have," "How to Read the Financial Page," "How to Interpret Fi nancial Reports," "Sound Methods of Investing," and "Adanced and Speculative Investing Techniques." . .The outline for the invest ment course was prepared by the New York Stock Exchange when surveys showed such in formation to be in great de mand. The' lecture series has proved popular in cities throughout the country and thousands of persons already have "graduated" from more than 500 classes. Foster expressed confidence that the investment course will prove as educational here as it has elsewhere.

Watkins actually he isn't. It's another instance where we are more scared of a word than of an actual presence. ; . . Civilization has just about crowded these big cats from the scene and makes their fu ture status pretty uncertain. What few that are left are confined to isolated areas and mountain fastnesses. . . I was surprised a few weeks ago to .hear a soft-voiced gen tleman over the phone invite me to visit an area where one of the big cats was known to live. The area was within a very few miles of a large city. The man said he knew exactly where the big cat could be found. ' ' Waited by Ravine For three nights we waited by the ' dry bed .of a small ravine.' Each night we were armed- with" flashlights and several containers of hot cof fee. , The mosquitoes were there with all their friends. On the third night a light breeze sprang up, when off to my left I heard a soft noise. I aimed my flashlight and waited, hardly breathing. Soon I heard a slight wheez ing noise, like a person with a severe cold breathing through his nose. . I snapped on the switch of the flashlight. The brilliant pencil of light shot out. There he was, a full grown panther. Paralyzed by the sudden brilliance, he set tled slowly onto his stomach, glancing quickly -to the right and the left, looking for a way of escape. , . He left with the quickness of, an electric spark. All that remained m front of me was the nodding weeds and the little ravine. He didn't scream when he left. I found later this animal had been living in the area for several years, during which time he has never visited a chicken yard or killed a single head of live stock.. There is no reason to believe he ever will. He seems to have learned that absolute ; avoidance of man and his holdings will pro long his life. A peculiar quirk in a pan ther's ' makeup prompts him often to follow a' man for miles. But if the man turns, the big cat will slink away. Although this animal is the most widely disturbed of any member of the cat family, he has not been known actually to attack a human being. "The "scream of ' the pan ther" is just about a lost voice now. We have traded it for the squeal of rubber, tires on a pavement. Perhaps many of us think this is a more pleas ant, safer scream.
