cried out TO him 10 stop.
Pugsley ran. so did neighbor who
heard Mrs. Comins outcrles. Then some
boys and finally several men Joined in

Somehow or other the crowd got the
impression that Pugsley had stolen s.,
then $40. and finally sl00. and 10 stop the
fugitive they began TO throw stones and
brickbats at him.
Pugeley fearing that his lfe was In
danger, jumped upon a car that came
bowling along.
He wasn't safe there for bicycl.t took
up the chase and finally IN sheer despera-
ton Pugsley leaped from the car and
surrendered himself to two men who were
In a wagon.
At his behest they drove at a fast clip
TO the Seventh station, where they de-
livered him into custody.
Captain Mowry was notified OF the ar
rest and after quite a search located Mrs.

her residence.

game among ourselves, hoping to
draw some one on, but somehow no
one was particularly interested except
ing a quiet old preacher, who always
smiled loudly when somebody won
Finally we persuaded him to take a
hand in the game, thinking probably
he had a few hundred that he wanted
to risk. Well, we let him win the first
hand or two to encourage him a trif1e,
and then we proposed to make short
work of him. He could handle the
pastebOards pretty well, and won a
couple of times, and then alternated,
winning and losing. I noticed, how
ever, that he always lost considerably
less than he won. To make a long
story short, we played cards all night,
hoping against hope that the preach

AS the dawn was appearing in the east

DECOMPoSED BODY FOUND.
William Miller, After Spree, Retired to
His Home to Die.

ALBANY, Or, July 1.-THE badly
decomposed body of William H. Miller,
a local bicycle repairer, was found at
his home. the man having evidently
passed away early Sunday morning.
Miller had been drinking on the Fourth,
and since that time had been rather
under the weather. He lived with his
parents. and, they having gone to the
seacoast, he occupied the house alone.
He was seen Saturday afternoon, and
some parties allege they saw him early
Sunday morning.
Since that time no one has seen him,
and when found dead the body was in
such a bad state as to warrant the be-
Sunday morning. A coroner's jury de-
cided that death had come from nat
the corpse burial was made immedi-
ately after the inquest. Decea sed
leaves a father and mother and three
sisters, one of them a resident of Port
land, to mourn his death. He was I'M
married. Mr.. Miller was born in New
York state 4S years ago, and came to
Albany with his parents in '67. He
leaves nice business and was con-
sidered an excellent mechanic.

who has evolved an airship out of the
Eddy kites.
The Dressler ship has been entered
in the st. Louis contest, and the in
ventor, not unlike all other aerilists,
declares that he will win the first
| prize
| ed. 1t consists of two kites 16x1S feet
long respectively, the longer one car
rying the shorter. These kites have.
according to Dressler, lifting capac-
| ity of 1910 pounds. To the under side
of the lower kite is attached a harness
operator, motor and steering appara-
tus.
The motor is a novelty. 1t is of five
horse power, weighs but seventy five
pounds, and Dressler says it takes it's
fuel from the air. BY what principle
this fuel generation is accomplished is
one of the secret claims of DRESSER.
The motor is used in a dual capacity
THAT Of driving the propeller for
ward, and again of forcing the lifting
power by creating a resistance against
the kites. The ship gathers it's buoy
horizontally to it's sides. The planes
are designed also to serve as para
chutes in the event of accident during
flight.
The steering gear is also novel. 1t
consists of three planes, one of which
is vertical, all being under full control
of the operator, who can veer them at
will
Whether the Dressler ship will
prove to be of any value remains to be
seen, but the claims of the inventor
have impressed many persons, Mark
Bennitt of the Louisiana purchase ex-
position, being among those who are
optimistic of it's chances of success
The propeller is much the same in
construction as those used by Santos /!
Dumont and Leo Stevens, but is said |
to have less resistance than either of |
the others. 1t possesses, too, says
Dressler an advantage not owned by |
either of the others-that of being |
driven by a direct friction clutch"
This last gives the operator more con- |
troll of the sparkling plug which ex-
plodes the calcined air contained in
the cylinders of the motor, and by
means of the clutch speed can be de-
veloped at a rate that will gradually
overcome the natural resistance pre-
scented by the blades of the propeller.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE friends
and admirers of Miss Elizabeth Tyree

of this city, unearthed a mysterious
treasure chest while digging in a hank
at the head of Maple street. The box
is about fourteen inches square and
made Of heavy plank bound with iron
bands.
1t was found to contain a small dia
mond pin, two unset opals, several
pieces of gold quartz, a piece of COP
per ore, a brooch set with small
pearls, two unset imitation diamonds
and several copper nuggets.
In the box was a letter written on a
piece of paper so badly decayed as to
be almost illegible. A few words
written in a large hand were de-
cphered, and seemed to indicate that
the chest contained secret of greater
treasure hidden perhaps in some other
place, or the location of a mine some
where. The following is all that could
be made out of the message:
