which befell his aeropane at the Fort
Myer testing field, resulting in the
death OF Lieutenant Selfridge and
dangerous injury to Mr.. Wright him

to account for the real reason for
the fatal termination Of what had
promised to be record breaking flight.

unable, to understand how it could
have happened.

those propellers revolve so that they
would be likely to hit anything" said
he, 'fbut we tried to make them hit
before tried to force them to hit
They would not. They had plenty Of
clearance. I don't know how they
hit that time how they came together.
But they did somehow. and the pro.

DIVORCE SUIT WITHDRAWN
Mrs. Peterson Will Wait Year Be-
fore Renewing Action.

On motion of the attorney for Mrs.
Camilla ]. Peterson, the divorce suit
brought by her against Neils Peterson
was dismissed by Judge Lewis of the
district court yesterday.
Mrs. Peterson on July 26, 1907, en-
deavOred to secure divorce at Provo.
but her petition was denied by Judge
Booth of that district. She then came
to Salt Lake and filed a complaint, and
the question of jurisdiction was raised,
it being ALLEGED that she had not lived
in this county year, and that when
her case was tried at Provo she had
declared that she had been for more
than a year a resident of Utah county
1t was for this reason that it was de-
cided to dismiss the suit and wait until
Mrs. Peterson has lived in Salt Lake
a year before filing another complaint
If she still desires at the end of that
time to secure a divorce.
The Petersons were married May %,
1897, and have resided at Springville.

the alleged SWlndler their savings on his
assurance that he was in a position to

economy of long periods, and was a seri-
Gus loss to most of them.

showed that he knew how to make him
self comfortable behind the bars. He
removed his coat and readily fraternized
