DESCRIPTION SENT FOR
Man Being Held by Police on Charge
of Desertion Says He Can
Prove That There is
Mistake.

Marshall Henry Kesselring has
wired to washington, d. c., for COM
plete description and additional de
tails as to Frederick Day and his de-
sertion from the United States Navy.
Day. today, employed John E. Craig
to represent him in the matter, and
the attorney is confident that local
authorities are wrong in their identity
to the man.
John A. Dunlap, cashier of the Keo-
kuk National bank, was major IN the
CO.. pany in which Day was in dur
ing the Philippine war, and easily
recognized him. He also noted that
the first finger of his right hand was
missing remembering that Day had
lost 1t during the war. For this rea-
son it is believed Day would have
been incompetent. to enlist in the
navy after recovering his army dis
charge papers.
Day was discharged in 1899, and
during 1902 was mate on the Miss
issippi. He has in his possession both
discharge papers and his license as

these strange lights in the north dur.

their appearance has caused number
of reports as to their movements, etc.
On Sunday evening, the lights could
be seen plainly in the skies, with that
slow, steady movement crossing the
heavens which gives them spectacu-
lar beauty and called attention tr
them of many who were out.
Of the phenomena, today's Record

The aurora borealis, the northern

in brilliant, zenith-striving arch
from which hung pulsating stream
ers of light, caused excitement among
persons enjoying the spring evening

fore it finally disappeared about 1890,
when the moon became too bright for
it to be longer visible.
Professor Frost of the Yerkes OBJ

credited with the first sight of the
phenomenon.
