Marshal Carter received phone mes
sage Tuesday from the police depart
ment in Denver saying that some Mex
leans had been arrested for selling neck
ties and overalls supposed to be stolen.
The ties had the mark of the New York
store of this city on them and the Of
ficials in Denver thought the goods
were stolen in Central. The manager
of the New York store was apprised of
the matter and made an investigation.
No stock was missing from the shelves,
but it was thought that the Mexicans
had broken into shipment in transit at
the Denver yards, containing among
other goods ties and overalls. L. j.
Rachofsky went to Denver yesterday
morning to make an investigation.

Friends of Judge Mccall are request
ing him to run for district judge on an
independent Republican ticket; they say
that the judgship should be entirely
separated from politics, especially those
of the machine" kind. But Judge
Mccall has made arrangements to take
up the practice of law upon the expira-
ton of his present term as county judge
which has brought him such small finan-

Flying by Machinery.

Flying BY machinery. lAe musical
notation and many another epoch max
ing circumstance owes Its Inception
to the eoister and the cowl. The prin-
clple and idea OF the balloon was first
formed by Albert OF Saxony an An

tury. Then the theory OF construction
was taken up and enlarged upon by
Francesca Mendoza. Portuguese
Jesuit. who died in 1926. And. lastly,
bartholomew de Guzmao. formerly q
candidate for the priesthood. demon
strated the possibility OF flying by
alrships and foretold great successes
for the future. Toward the end OF the
eighteenth century two men named
Charles aud Roberts made balloon
with the longest side parallel to the
horizon. Their wings were OF the
shape OF an umbrella without the han
die. 10 the top OF which a stick was
fastened parallel TO the aperture OF the
umbrella. Five Of these were disposed
round the ear. On finding themselves
in a dead calm they tried the effect
OF their oars and discovered that ip
tikrty-flve minutes they had covered
6OO0 feet. Balloons were first used
in war as long ago as 1904. when Guy
ton de Morveau made two asccnts and
obtained important information during
the battle OF Fleurus. Their next ap-
pearance was during the battle Of
Solferino In 1850. and two years later
