ST. LOUIS. Mo, October 19-Members
Of tho Aero Club of ST. Louis and the
visiting aeronauts are indulging in con-
siderable speculation concerning the
whereabouts of the United States Signal
Corps balloon No. 10. in which ]. C. Nc
Coy and Cap. Chandler travelled from
st. Louis to West Virginia yesterday.
Up to 10 o'clock this morning no tidings
had been received here regarding the
aeronauts. The impression prevails that
they landed last night in a desolate
mountainous country and have not yet
reached a point of communication.
Small electric fash lamps are carried
all night in the air, in order that in
struments may be noted in the dark
moss. Mccoy and Chandler took an cleo
tic fash lamp of this kind with them,
but It made only a small illumination
when the button was pressed. and in no
sense could be utilized as a signal light
The balloonists here say 1t could not be
distinguished from below, even If the
ssronauts had attempted to use it as
. signal Therefore there Is considerable
mystery here concerning the blue light
chat is reported to have been distin-
guished passing over Fairmont, w. Va.
early this morning and attributed In
dispatch to have been a signal from the
Mccoy handler balloon.

ST. LOUIS IS ELATED.
Much Pleased Over the Long-Dis-

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. October l9-Aeronauts

All that adds to the enthusiasm 1t was
only necessary for Chandler and Mccoy
to make 403 miles to exceed Lieut.. Lahm's $
record and win the cup. and that was
achieved quite early in the day before the
balloon had reached West Virginia. AS
Mccoy will go as pilot and Capt. Chandler
as companion in the international race
next Monday. many were asking here last
night how II happened that Chandler in
stead of Mccoy qualified for the Lahm
CUP before starting on the flight yester-
day. That is explained in the fact that
the balloon used belonged to the United
States Signal Corps, and as Capt. Chand-
Ter Is at the head Of the aeronautic de-
partment of the Signal Corps 1t was most
natural for him to act In the capacity OF
pilot.

WILL EXAMINE
FOR men HERE
ID. B. Shelter Will Conduct Civil
Service Examination for Posi-
tiOns in Forest Service.

Examinations for the position of
forest ranger will be held in Wenat-
chez on July 23 and "a. Forest
Supervisor D. B. Shelter will conduct
the examinations. The civil service
commission at Washington, D. c., is
sending specific information on the
examination to all who write in and
request it.
Experience, thorough knowledge
OF forest conditions, and a sound
body, rather than book education,
are the qualities sought in examining
applicants who desire to become
forest rangers. The man must have
ability, however, to make simple
maps and write intelligent reports
upon forest business connected with
the position.
A ranger must be sound of body
and able to take care of himself and
his horses in regions remote from
settlement and supplies. Necessary
qualifications of applicants include
knowledge of trail building. con-
struction of cabins, and the ability to
ride. pack, and deal tactfully with
all classes of people. He must know
something Of land, surveying, esti-
mating and scaling timber, logging
land laws, mining, and the livestock
business. The applicants should be
thoroughly familiar with the region
Of the country in which he seeks en-
ployment. In Arizona and New Mex
leo, the ranger must know enough
Spanish to conduct forest business
with Mexican users of the national
forests. Personal equipment and
horses for use in connection with
duty of a ranger are furnished by
the rangers themselves and not by
the forest service.
Working under the direction of
the forest supervisor. the rangers S
duties include patrol to prevent fire
and trespass. estimating, surveying,
and marking timber, supervision of
cutting, and similar work, all of
which a man thoroughly familiar
with forest regions and possessing a
fair education. is able to fulfill. It
is the policy of the forest service to
fill vacancies in higher positions by
the promotion of rangers rather than
by the appointment of men without
experience on the national forests,
although otherwise we'll fitted.

Did He?

Frank F. Keller, who has just re-
turned from a long sojourn in his
sylvan retreat on the Stehekin, is as
tonishing the natives with a story OF
a real, live bear which he saw near
his camp. He says the .four-footed
prowler sauntered down the river
bank opposite his shack, stood and
studied the scenery awhile, grinned
at the retired baseball magnate and
then retired to the woods again.
Frank stood the strain nobly, and
seems none the worse for the ordeal
through which he passed. If he
isn't careful Roosevelt will say he's
a nature fakir, and didn't see no
bear at all"

NEW YORK, June 24.-Forceful

hopes of obtaining a wife, has lost
the subtle charm of romance for
Frank Hinderer of Brooklyn.
Three weeks ago Hinderer began
his search for the unobtainable, so he

Germany if he received no offers of

uncommonly good looking man. He
said he possessed all the qualifica-
tions of good husband and could
furnish a prospective bride with a
certificate of his good character.
He wanted to be married today.
But he has changed his mind.
He said to a woman reporter: Il

women in Brooklyn. The postman

Pinched IS ''MOO MOOs."

There was crushing reception in
the public pound last night.
16 wall-eyed bovines stood calmly
ruminating within the stern portals,
after laying waste the spacious lawn
of an irate citizen, A. A. Piper.
The herd escaped early last even
ing and bore down upon the resi-
dence district, devastating yards and
lawns. 1t is said that the sacrelig-
, ious animals actually invaded the
holy precincts of the mayors lawn,
and made bold there to nibble the
foliage!

LIFE SENTENCE
FOR McLAIN
Dangerous Outlaw of the OkanOgan
Country Pleaded Guilty to
Murder

CONCONULLY, June 23.-John-
ME Mclean was today sentenced to
life Imprisonment in the penitentiary
at Walla Walla The crime for
which he was arrested and to which
he pleaded guilty was that of the
murder of William Cameron, white
man, on the Colville reservation,
about two weeks ago. McLain is a
half-breed Indian, with a terrible
record of crime, and he has already
served the greater part of his life
in one prison or another. With Nc
Lain in the penitentiary for life Okla
hogan county is rid of her most dan
gerous outlaw, and life and property
are once more secure. He is born
criminal and would steal or murder
apparently because he could not do
otherwise His victims were gener-
ally Indians, but there are seceral
stances besides the present one
where it is believed he murdered
white people.
With the arrest of Mclean there
came to light a plot to rob bank in
one of the Okanogan river towns.
McLain and a confederate, who has
disappeared, had planned to enter
either the Okanogan State bank at
Riverside or one of the banks at Ok
anogan, and in broad daylight COM
pei those in charge to hand over all
the money in the place. 1t would
have been a daring piece of work,
but MoLain is believed by those who
know him to be fully capable of do
ing it. Had he not quarreled with
Cameron and killed him the bank
robbery would have been effected.
He concluded that by pleading gull
dy he could possibly get leniency, but
in this case the minimum sentence
was life Imprisonment, as he had
twice before been convicted of fell
onies
