THAT MYSTERIOUS "AlRsHiP."
This Time 1t Is Seen at Kansas City, Also at
Everest, Kan,


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April What
ever the mysterious light in the heav-
ems that seems to be moving from the
Pacific coast to the Atlantic is
whether it is an airship or something
else-it favored Kansas City with
visit last night and thousands of re-
sponsible citizens saw it who could for
hours talk of nothing else. 1t is posi-
BILE, of course, that some practical joker
with big kite and lantern got in an
April fool joke. If he did he is the
most successful joker who has ever
done business in this vicinity. And if
it was a joke the joker carried it far
enough to fool people at Everest, Kan,
little town in Brown county, Kan
sas, about GO miles northwest of this
city. Dispatches announce that the
mysterious light appeared there short
ly after nine o'clock and according to
the correspondent, "hove in sight
from the southeast" Kansas City
is southeast of Everest and the
light disappeared in Kansas City
near an hour before it was seen 60
miles distant. The Everest correspond
ent claims that hundreds of people
there distinctly saw the airship. The
car of the airship, according to his
story, was canoe-shaped and appeared
to be about 80 feet long. 1t was pro-
PEELED by four triangular wings, two
on either side, and above the whole
could be discerned black bulb, sup
posed to be large gas bag.

in the rear parlor on the second floor
of the Hotel Woodland. DIR. Goddard
had been in attendance upon Mrs.
jackson, who is i'll with pneumonia.
He is single man and Jackson was
jealous of him. From the best evidence
it appears that Jackson and DIR. God
dard had quarreled previously and
there was bad blood between them.
1t is said that Jackson, notwith-
standing he had not lived with his
family for some years, did not sane

even though they were of bust

the influence of whisky or some drug,

them, calling attention to their fire.
