thing and Garner occasionally makes
a call. Mrs Garner in widows weeds,
tetified last night that Garner was
somewhat drunk when he called. He
wanted to talk to his wife but she
refused to take part in the converse
ton, simply because he was drunk. AT
this juncture a native living in an up
stairs room, and Portuguese down
stairs were quarreling. Garner went
out and told the Portuguese to be silent
and Garner wanted to fight. He came
back to the room and sat on stool.
Ioela or Joe as he is commonly known
in Vineyard street society circles, came
to the steps and called Garner filthy

his brains.n Garner went out on the
veranda and Joe Immediately fred a

was two rocks but another witness said
he made three motions of throwing.
Mrs. Garner was then in the street OF

children there. Mrs. Garner states that

hit the one he threw at.
Mrs. Garner did not know that her
husband had been hit until she saw
blood. She tried to have him go to the
hospital but he wouldn It go, but she
sent for the police anyhow. Mrs. Gar
ner identified Garner's battered cam
paign hat. She was shown hole in the

made by the impact of the rock thrown

GREAT MYSTERY
OF THE COMET
Continued from Page one.l

comet Is tail swept the earth, or when
it came near. Since the last visit of
Halley's comet, over seventy-tive years
ago, electrical science has made vast
strides, and there are many delicate
Instruments in use now which were not
dreamed of when Halley's comet came
last. They We're carefully watched on
Wednesday. The wireless telegraph in
struments are one class. There are also
the cable instruments, which are affect
ed by even a slight thunderstorm. But
no disturbances are reported as a result
of the visit of the comet, and the theo-
lries of those who regarded the strange
visitor as an electrical phenomenon are
apparently smashed.
The result Of the studies of the comet
so far are only to make it more Of
puzzle than ever, in the opinion of some
of the watchers. The orbit and speed
of the comet have been calculated to
nicety,--it has been declared that, in
proportion to the distance Travelled, the
calculations in advance of the seventy
Eve years trip of Halley's comet are
more nearly exact than railway com
panies can time regular daily schedules
of their trains across the American con
tinent.
But heavenly body composed of
nothing but gas, travelling at the rate
of many millions of miles a day, pre-
sents a scientific puzzle which the care
full observations of 1910, with instru'
ments unknown at the time OF any pre-
viOus visit of the comet, have so far
failed to solve.
The report cabled from the Lick OBJ
servatory, TO the effect that the earth
might not yet have passed through the
tail of the comet, is in harmony will
the forecast of Professor Ellerman, al
published in The Advertiser on Wednes
day. The professor stated on Tuesda,
that II would be impossible to stats
when the earth would pass through thu
tail as the tail might curve. This 4
