this morning with his head battered
almost to pulp The man cannot live,
according to the doctors at the receiv-
ing hospital, as in addition to multiple
injuries about the head he sustained a
fracture of the skull.
That the injuries were the result of
murderous attack on Ziegler is the
opinion of the detectives detailed on the
case
An empty pay envelope was found IN
Ziegler pocket, and as he received his
pay yesterday amounting to $S075, it
is believed that robbery was the mo-
tive for the brutal assault
IieGler was found by another en-
ploye of the stable, c. II. Sanderson,
700 Sante Fe street, just as a messen- |
ger boy rode to the stables to ascertain

and learned tht Mrs. William Work
man. who lives opposite the stable,
heard cries for help shortly before Ii
o'clock, but did not investigate the
cause.
Ziegler's condition was indicative OF
1 fierce struggle, as his hands were COW !
cred with blood, his clothing disar-

records for high flying.
He reached the unprecedented height
or more than 1900 feet, although an OFF,
cial measurement was not taken.
He had a red-letter day in a double
sense in his experience as an aviator,
taking up Crown Prince Frederick Will

made recently over the same field.
The crown prince had been constantly

eVaded this responsibility while making

The prince reached the field at 4:30 in

Wrlghts suggestion, to save his uni
form from being spattered with oil, the
prince took his seat alongside the avi-
ator. and the machine rose in the air.
wright kept it at height of about
twenty feet for brief period, but the
crown prince exclaimed, Higher, high
er!"
Goes Still Higher
Finally the aviator went up above
sixty feet, and the crowd heartily
cheered the prince, who waved his ac-
acknowledgement.
The aeroplane glided back to the
starting point ten minutes later.
Ihe crown prince congratulated Mr.
Wright on the ease and safe motion of
the aeroplane, and presented him with
souvenir of the occasion, a diamond
and ruby pin composing the letter ''W''
and the crown.
