filed to-day in the Office of the clerk of the
supreme court signed by Clerk Mckee of
the court of appeals from the Fifth cir

the proceedings, against the Three

There was, however, no evidence then

A GOOD HAUL.
Felipe Gurnle Robbed of a Money
Belt Nearly Full ofGold.
From the Albuquerque citizen.

Fl ON the Albuquerque Citizen.
Last Saturday night, Felipe Guruls
reported to Marshal Fornoff that hs
had been "touched" for between 5000
and 500 in gold pieces. and, at the
same time, gave his suspicious as to
the party or parties whom he thinks
made away with the big gold find.
Mr.. Gurule was seen, this morning,
and at first refused to talk. He finally
stated that he kept his money in a
cloth belt between the mattresses and
springs of the bed he occupied at No.
702 Marquette avenue, and when be
made trips to his sheep ranch out Of
town he usually strapped the belt
around his waist and took the money
with him. as his wife was afraid to re-
main at the house with so much money
for fear Of being held up.
Last Saturday night, at Z O'Clock, be
had occasion to put some money In the
belt, when he was surprised to ind 1t
missing. rhe last time he used the
belt was Tuesday morning last, and
the belt, with the money, must have
been stolen between the two days,
Tuesday and Saturday last. Mr..
Gurule states that the belt contained
all 500 gold pieces, except four or hve
s5 gold piecds, and amounted to be-
tween 5000 end 500; he did not know
the exact amount.
The police have their suspicious,
and with the aid of Mr.. Gurule, hope
to bag the thief or thieves inside of the
next twenty.f four hours.

They are kItes--,hat Is to say, kites
OF tho new-fangled cellular patterl
which people all over the country have
been meking after the plans published
not long ago by the weather bureau
says the kocky Mountain Druggist
The utmost interest has been exhibited
by newspaper accounts OF these kites
and many persons In various cities
provided with plans, have gone tc
work to manufacture them for pur.
poses OF amusement. This we know
TO be q fact Incidentally, 1t otter
happens that the kites escape, and un-
der such conditions they will float at 0
great height for a long time, travelling
In some cases for a long distance.
Commonly they are largo affairs, ten
feet or more In length. Attach three
or fonr lanterns to one of them, and as
seen at night, making allowance for
exaggeration by the imagination, the
contrivance corresponds reasonably
we'll to the descriptions printed. There
Is no doubt whatever that the ~so-called
airsbip seen floating near Washington
the other day. was a kite which got
away from our experts near Arlington
on that same day.
Knowledge OF the mathematical prin-
ciples governing kite-lying has been
applied 10 the construction of scientific
kites. A beginning was made with the
Malay type OF kite, which has the nota-
BILE advantage over the ordinary kite
that It requires no tail to balance II. II
looks somewhat like the every day
boys kite at the first glauce, but it
differs from the latter very important
ly on inspection, having only two sticks
and being pointed at the top and bot
tom. Later came the wonderful Har.
grave kite, which has been improved
on by s. A. Potter, of the weather
bureau. 1t Is a series of diamond
shaped boxes or cells, covered with silk
other cloth. the framework being of
wood and as light as possible. There
may be two, three or more cells. This
sort of kite scars like a bird, and may
be sent to a height OF 1000 feet In five
minutes. Once afIoat, it will remain
stationary. not zigzaging or
diving. 4.f
The cellular kite Is as far beyond the
ordinary KITE as a modern steel a1o is
superior to an aboriginal flint Ratchet.
1t is a scientific machine. From the
point Of view of one who has seen such
kite fly, there would seem to be
nothing possible beyond. But there is
one very important direction In which
The kites OF the future may take a new
by providing some
arrangement, automatic or otherwise, |
Tor increasing or shortening sail.
Present practice II kite-fiying is like
sending a yacht to sea with every sail
yet aud without means Of either reefing
,r furling canvas. This kind OF airship,
Z Is true, does not carry its sailors
aboard, but It Is not impossible that II
nay do SO some day.
