Mrs. Rosa Hunt Christopher departed
this life on May 2nd, 1909, in the 37th
year OF her age. She was married
December 81. 1908, and was a good
Christian, great church and Sunday
school worker and good true wife.
She never murmured or complained of
her suffering, but bore it only as a
Christian of hope can bear, with God to
help, though her suffering was very
great. She found great comfort in the
promises of God one of which is found
in Revelation 3rd Chapter and 9Th
verse. HE that overcometh the same
shall be clothed in white raiment; and
will not blet out his name out of the
book of life, but l will confess his name
before my Father, and before his
angels"

WILLY BOY BELIEVED
KILLED OR CAPTURED
THOUGHT SHERIFF HAS OVER
TAKEN FUGITIVE
Indian Youth and Abducted Girl Are
Heading for Mexican Border,
with Posse in Hot
Pursuit
Especial to The Herald.l ]

BANNING, Sept. 29.-It is believed
willy Boy" the Indian murderer,
has by this time been either killed or
captured by Sheriff Wilson's posse, as
reports have reached here to the effect
he was hard pressed this morning and
it is deemed impossible that he can
escape.
At 7 o'clock last night the Indian
and his girl captive were seen at Big
Morongo canyon in the San BernardinO
range, thirty miles east of Bannig, and
from that point their tracks indicate
they are heading for Twenty-nine
Palms. where the Indians parents re-
side and where he could get horses to
take them over the line into Mexican
territory.
Tracks of the pair indicate they are
alternatly wearing their shoes and go
ing barefoot, but reports to the effect
they are leaving bloody footprints are
pure fabrications. willy Boy is
armed with a 30-30 winchester rife, in
which was eighteen cartridges when 1t
was stolen from Arthur Gilman.
The young Indian was employed by
Gilman and had previously borne a
good reputation. He was given his
name by the whites because of his love
for finery.
Neither Sheriff Wilson nor the muir
derer have slept for As hours and both
must be nearly exhausted. The Indian
is known to be a dead shot, frequently
giving exhibitions of shooting coins
thrown into the air with a rifle. He
could easily hide in the rocks or brush
and pick off one by one the members
of the posse sent to capture him.

BLERIOT'S MACHINE
SEIZED IN GERMANY
French Aeronaut Has Serious Trouble
Because of a Dispute with
Men Who Manage
Flights

JOHANNSTHAL, Germany, Sept. 20.
M Bleriot, accompanied by his wife,
left here yesterday for Cologne With
the intention of undertaking series
of flights in his aeroplane at that city.
He was one of the scheduled .competi-
tors for aviation week here and today
the management of the meet seized
the French aYiatOr'S machine, alleging
breach of contract.
The management has issued a COM
munication to the public, saying that
M. Bleriot was paid $4,000 by the COM
pany for five days work and that he
flew only three days. M. lie Blanc, a
pupil of NJ Bleriot, has withdrawn
from all the contests on account of M.
Bleriot's dispute with the management.
The flying today was accompanied by
a series of unfortunate incidents. The
machinery of NJ Molon's aeropane be-
came disarranged and the machine fell,
breaking one wing and the propeller.
M Molon was not hurt.
Hubert Latham found a defect in his
motor while in the air and had to come
down after going $50 yards
Henry Farman staid in the air for
twenty-eight minutes, but came down
at the end of his seventh round.
Bougier and Latham competed this
afternoon in the duration, speed and
height contests. Rougier covered for
ty-eight miles in l hour and 80 minutes
Latham covered forty-tWo and a third
miles in hour and 20 minutes.
Farman flew Is IL miles in 28 min
utes and is seconds,
Besa, the Chilean aeronaut, after
many unsuccessful attempts, finally
rose, but his motor got out of order at
the end Of the second round and the
aeroplane glided rapidly to the ground
one of the wheels being broken. Tho
accident was due to Farman flying
directly over him, the motor causing a
strong current which struck the wings
of Besa's machine, the aviator losing
control

EARTH AND COMET TO
MEET IN SAME PLANE
Frank E. Seagrave Announces There
Is Nothing Alarming in App
preaching Proximity of
Two Bodies

PROVIDENCE, R. L, Sept 29.-
Frank E. Seagrave, whose calculations
relative to Halley's comet have attract
ed widespread attention, announced to-
night that the correction of slight err
ror in his calculations developed the
discovery that on May 19, 1910, the
comet will reach the same plane as the
earth in its orbit.
1t is thereby determined that the
comet will sweep across the plane in
stead Of clearing it. The earth and
comet will meet on the same plane, but
not in the same path. There will be a
distance at the nearest point of 13,OOO,-
900 miles between the two
The fan of the comet tail, according
to Seagrave, will spread out and for a
short period the earth will find itself
swept by "star dust brought from
many millions of miles beyond the
farthest known comet.
There should be no scare over the
approaching event." said Mr.. Sea-
grave. 1T will be nothing more thar
we have already passed through or
June 80, 1861, when the earth swept
through the tail of the comet of 81
The nearest it could ever come to the
earth would be 6.325,OOO miles"

A recollection of Billie Burke as a
star in Love Watches" eYokes her
tender little solo at the end of act 1.
as the most vivid memory of the play.
And this thought suggests the wonder
that she ever left light opera, a field
of the drama which she must have
adorned in the early years of her Eng
lish career. All her girlish charm
would have full play in an oper alta of
the atmosphere, say, of Martha" and
with a score suited to the grasp of
her fragile but sweet toned voice. She
is charming in Love Watches" which
is a mere shell of a play, but foil, in
fact, to set off her ripping smiles and
her dainty gowns. Against musical
setting one must imagine her in her
true atmosphere.-the air of very fairy
land. We caught a whiff of it in the
first act last night. w. H. B.
