crowded that the police had some diff

across the plaza
Newtown Creek was the point chosen
by most of the Greenpoint people for
their view. Whether through the infiu-
ence of the astral visitor or from natu-

their habitat about the creek were even
more active than usual last night and
the sightseers from Greenpoint soon
rushed away from the spot and joined

SPYING COMET, SHOT DOWN
Little Girl Struck Accidentally
During Duel in Street.

While looking through piece of broken
glass to see if she could search out the
comet that she had heard her elders speak
about, seven-year-old Christina Mastruiaco
Of No. 3l5 East l1lth street was probably
mortally wounded last night when she was
struck by bullet from a revolver of one
Of two Italians who suddenly appeared
from Second avenue and began duel in
the street. DR.. Richardson, of Harlem Hos
pital, said that the little girls spine was
shattered and that her recovery was doubt
full.
Christina and her sister were playing in
front of their home when a coatless Ital-
ian dashed around the corner and started
toward Third avenue. moment later an
other Italian, also coatless, appeared and
fired at the fleeing man. Al The shot the
pursued man turned, drew q revolver and
returned the fire. Six or seven shots were
exchanged. Both girls started for the door
OF their home, but Christina fell on the
sidewalk with cry Of pain. Angelina, two
years older. half carried and half dragged
her into the house.
One Of the Italians ran into a hallway
and the other turned about and disap-
peared toward First avenue. Neither could
be found when the reserves of the East
I04th street police station reached the scene
OF the duel.

The comets head was not above the
horizon until Just before the sun rose, but
the tat presented an exceedingly bright
picture" declared Professor T. <. Barnard
Of the Yerkes Observatory. The width OF
the tail was from five 10 six degrees, while
It's length was i07 degrees. II was brighter
than any portion OF the Milky Way. 1t WIS

more brilliant AT the middle The edges

tell much about it, 1t is not great enough

Professor j. n. Ntzhugh, in lecture at

tail as shaped like a megaphone made Of
