There Were These Little Indians- In Triole Murder BY MIKE BLACKMAN Enquirer Reporter And then there were 105 little Indians. Fearless warriors and lovely maidens, all. And Friday, in the morning chill of 36 degrees, hardly an Indian Summer day, these young warriors and maidens descended on Devou Park, in the wilderness of hills and woods overlooking the land of Covington.

These were authentic little In dians of no particular tribe, nil in their hand-made headdresses and buckskins and moccasins and beads. And they pitched camp and scouted the woods, and Devou Park in the land of Covington was secure. Had it been a modern day these young warriors and maidens of between seven and eleven winters might have been mistaken for another tribe. For they would have borne a striking similarity to 105 children from the Bishop Howard non-graded school children who would spend six weeks In class studying Indian lore and making costumes, and then spend a day outside living as the real Indian did. So Friday, in the land of Covington, the pom-poms and the drums of the big pow wow split the crisp autumn air, along with the- Buffalo dance and Indian songs and meditations and ritual chants.

Then, almost suddenly, the Sun, still in a mid-afternoon high, the woods and hills fell silent once more. And 105 little Indians, chilled and tired little Indians, went home. sweater and paint-splattered pants, "just walking around" in the area between 2 and 4 p. Wednesday. Police want to talk with the man.

Residents of Beverly, Hills Drive were jittery. One woman reported triple locks on her doors. "I'll be so relieved when they find somebody," she said.

Schott said he would welcome any information Cincinnatians may have "no matter how scanty." He guaranteed that informants would be kept anonymous. He has discouraged "reward" offers because these have been of little aid in the past. Arabs Grab Part Of Tripoli That Burton's A Gem: Liz By United Press International Thousands of demonstrators supporting anti-Israeli Arab guerrillas Friday seized part of Tripoli, Lebanon's second largest city, in a day of heavy fighting against government forces. At least five persons were reported killed and eight wounded. Syria tightened its pressures on the Lebanese government and demanded that it adopt a more active fighting role against Israel.

Reports from Tel Aviv hinted at possible Israeli intervention if the Lebanese government fell and Arab armies moved in. The Al Fatah guerrilla organization's radio in Cairo said the crisis was a prelude to the landing of U. S. troops in Lebanon. Iraqi broadcasts from Baghdad made similar accusations.

American forces landed in Lebanon during the 1956 Arab-Israeli war. THERE WAS NEW bloodshed on other Middle East fronts Friday. Israel sent its jot fighter-bombers against missile sites on the west coast of the Gulf of Suez, and Egypt struck back with a raid on Israeli positions in the northern Sinai Desert. Tel Aviv communiques said 11 Israeli soldiers were wounded In the strike 20 miles behind Israeli linos. It was one of the most successful Egyptian raids since the 1907 Mideast war.

Mary Wilson, 50, a visitor in the Dumler's comfortable two-story home at 1192 Beverley Hills Mt. Lookout. The bodies were discovered in the second-floor master bedroom by a maid Thursday morning. The Dumlers had been shot and stabbed; Mrs. Wilson had been shot in the head.

Marks on the victim's ankles and arms showed they had been bound at one point, apparently by cords that are missing from two lamps and a television set. But the cords were removed before the killer or killers left the home. Police Chief Jacob W. Schott said that five shots were fired, but only four bullets have been recovered. Three bullets were removed from the Victim's bodies and one from a piece of flooring detectives removed from th'e bedroom.

He said police still are looking for the fifth bullet that may have gone through a victim and into the mattress. SCHOTT FIGURED a pillow may have been used to muffle the sound of the shots. The Dumler children, Martin G. Ill, five, and Jane, four, slept through the murders in the bedroom Immediately adjacent to the master bedroom. The children, unable to open the door of their parents' bedroom next morning, went next door to the home of Mrs.

Louis Lobert. Just as Mrs. Lobert was about to go to the Dumler home, the maid arrived. Coroner Frank P. Cleveland has set the time of death at somewhere around 11 or 11:30 p.

Wednesday. Although police have yet to determine the caliber of the gun, they say that what are known as "wad cutters" were used in shooting the victims. A "wad cutter" is a bullet used by target shooters. It has a flat nose and sharp edges and loses its effectiveness at about 30 yards. One source said that a "wad cutter" is a "vicious" bullet to use on a human being.

Police removed from the home Friday the mattresses and bedcloth-ing. They went into the sewers in attempts to find the gun.

NEW YORK (pi Actress Elizabeth Taylor has added the 69.42-carat diamond sold at auction Thursday for $1.05 million to a jewelry collection that already includes the 33 -carat Krupp Diamond and the famed La Peregrina Pearl. Miss Taylor's husband, actor Richard Burton, bought the huge diamond Friday from Cartier's, the Fifth Avenue jewelry store, for an undisclosed sum. Announcing the sale, a Cartier's spokesman said the diamond had been purchased on Burton's behalf by Al Yagler. Yagler bid on the flawless, pear-shaped gem at the auction at Parke-Bernet Galleries, but stopped at $1 million. The high bid reportedly the top price ever paid for a piece of jewelry at auction was made by Robert Kenmore, chairman of the board of Kenmore owner of Cartier's.

Cartier's said the stone would be displayed in the New York store from Saturday until November 1 and in the Chicago store from November 5 to November 8. Delivery to Burton, said a spokesman, will be made "some time after November 8." The huge stone is one of the few, large unnamed diamonds. It was the third largest stone ever sold at auction.

Parke-Bernet would not disclose the seller. Earlier this year, Burton paid $37,000 for a pearl, also auctioned at Parke-Bernet. Then, too, he did not disclose his intention until after the sale was over and the jewel purchased. The La Peregrina pearl acquired its name which means literally "wanderer," from having passed from monarch to monarch over centuries in Europe. The Krupp diamond was bought by Burton for his wife in May 1968, for $305,000.

Other scientists in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and California have traced the spread of cat leukemia from parent to offspring and to other cats.
