cific railroad here, was taken from the
Union Pacific office tonight with prob
ably fatal bullet wound over his heart.
AT the hospital, where he was taken. Mr..
Stubs declared his wound was the result
of an accident. He was alone at the

The big office building in which the
Union Pacific offices are located was
practically deserted at the time of the
shooting.
The first person to learn what had hap
pened was the night elevator boy, who
found Mr.. Stubs leaning against the wal
in the corridor outside of his office. The
wounded man was holding one hand over
his heart and gasped: Il am shot ]
shot myself accidentally"
The boy ran for a doctor and other at.

hospital where it was found that a bull
let had penetrated his breast just abov,

brief statement to the effect that he had
been examining a new revolver which he
had purchased and had accidentally dis
charged it.
On account of the gravity of his con-
dition Mr.. Stubs was not permitted tc
see any one.

MISS SEARS MAKES
RECORD FLIGHT

Cambridge, Mass, September 24.-(Spec-
cial.) miss Eleanor Sears added to her
aurels in sport today by going up in an
aeroplane and making a record fight for
women in this country. Emulating the
example of Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt
Jr, Mrs. Clifford B. Harmon, daughter
of E. C. Benedict, and other New York
society women, who have made short
flights, she offered herself as a passenger
with Claude Graham-White, the English
aviator, in his Farman biplane at the
Harvard field at Squantum this after
noon.
She remained aloft II minutes and 80
seconds.
No other passenger was up half so
long. The aviator took up IA in the course
of the afternoon. Lieutenant Governor
Louis A. rockingham and Miss Dorothy
Jordan were among the passengers. They
were content with Que lap of the course.
Miss Sears made a dozen laps of the
course, and in addition she made the avi-
ator cut figure Fights.
There were 1900 spectators in the
field.

An Impression

Two city pastors exchanged pulpits.
One was handsome young min
lister, the other an elderly one. The
organist ut the elderly minister's
church was an ambitious young lady
who wished to make good impression
on the young visiting pastor.
Now the sexton who blew the organ
for the young lady was in the habit of
stopping when he thought the volun-
tary had been long enough. To avoid
such an awkward ending on this oc-
CASTOR, she wrote him little note and
handed it to him. Supposing it an an
nouncement for the pulpit, the sexton
in spite of the young lady's frantic
gestures, handed 1T to the young pas
tor.
This is what he read: will you kind
ly keep blowing away this morning un-
til 1 give you the signal to quit"
