SHOT MINER WHO
HAD BEFRIENDED HIM.

RHYOLITE, New June Sc. P.
McGavin, a sa~loonkeeper of Amargosa,
forty miles south of Rhyolite, shot and
probably fatally wounded Clyde ill
ford, a miner who attended McGavin
during his illness resulting from a
drunken debauch. Tilford has been
brought to Rhyolite for treatment.
When Tilford arrived from Green
water last week he found McGavin in
toxieated. He put him to bed so that
he would sober up and took charge of
the saloon. When Tilford went to open
the saloon one morning he found Nc
Gavin, who had got up from his bed,
in charge. McGavin cursed Tilford
and ordered him to leave, and as he was
doing so fired a shot at him. The bull
let took effect in his left breast and
passed through the lung. McGavin
narrowly escaped lynching. He has
been placed in Jail here.

PRINCIPLE OF A GyR0SCoPt
Is APPLIED TO A. MACHINE FOR
AERIAL FLIGHT.
A Frepchman Constructs an Airshir
that Employs New Principle and
10 Said to be a Success.

Paris. Oct. 2l.--A new principle for
aeria; navigation with "heavier-than.
air. machines has been employed in
some recent experiments and gives
promise of large results. Instead OF
using planes on the box kite principle
driven by a vertical propeller, as is
the case in the aeroplanes of Santos.
Dumont and other experimentcrs up
to this time, rotary horizontal planes
are used. In other words, the gyro
scopic principle is employed and the
machine is called the "gyroplare."
The theory is that by the employ.
ment Of horizontal propelers the ma
chine can be easily lifted and lowered
after the fashion of the "belicopetere"
toy longitudinal motion being oh.
tained by the force of gravitation by
allowing the machine to dip and glide
on its planes in the same way that
heavy birds soar.
Count De Lambert believes that this
is the true solution of aerial fight, but
the honor of constructing the first ma.
chine on this principle belongs to
Louis Breguet. He has built ma.
chine in the general form OF cross
each arm having at its extremity
eight revolving paddles. or propellers
slightly inclined. These SO paddles
are revclved by 40 horsepower mo-
tor at the center of the cross, where
the pilot sits. In the preliminary trials
the machine left the ground instantly
when the motor was aat in motion and
was easily sustained in the air with
rs revolutions minute. When the
motor was slowed down the gyroplane
descended gently. Perfect equilibrium
was maintained.
