MISSING man
SIMPLY SKIPPED
COHEN OF GRAND FORKS TELLS
STORY BEARING ON IRVING
DISAPPEARANCE.

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. Is. - H.
Cohen, proprietor of the DeMers ave-
nue. loan Office, may be the means of
clearing UP the mystery connected
with the disappearance of George Try
ing of Deer Lake, Stutsman county.
Irving disappeared some six weeks
ago and ever since that time there
have been rumors of all kinds afioat
as to the cause of his disappearance.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Cohen's atten.
ton was called to a dispatch appear
ing in The Herald TO the effect that
he might have been the victim of foul
play, and from the description of the
man, Mr.. Cohen believes that he is the
same man who was in this city some
weeks ago.
According to Mr.. Cohen's story. a
man answering as nearly as he can
remember was in his place of business
about six weeks ago and made some
purchases. Mr.. Cohen noticed that he
was without an overcoat, and offered
to sell him one. At this time, the man
replied, that he had left some North
Dakota town and that he had left in a
hurry.
The best of Mr.. Cohen'ss recollection
Is that the name of the town sounded
like Deer Lake. The stranger went
on to say that he had been working
all summer but that his team was
mortgaged and showed Mr.. Cohen a
letter containing statement to this
effect. He said that he had simply
pulled out and left his partner with
the team and intended to go, some
place else and start up again. He did
not say where he was bound for.
From the story told Mr.. Cohen
there seems to be no doubt but what
the transient was Irving. and that in
stead of being foully treated. etc, as
has been rumored the man simply
decided to get out and did so.

TO DRAIN CARRIER LAKE

Rolla Star: John Jay Of Fish Lake
was here Saturday soliciting subscrip-
tions for cutting a ditch to drain the
water from CARRIER lake to Gravel lake.
owing to the excessive drought of the
past year, the water from Gravel lake
from which the state fish hatchery is
supplied, is too low to make next sea-
sons work at the hatchery successful.
as the state appropriation has been
already exhausted and the ditch must
be dug this fall before the ground
freezes up. This method of collecting
money became imperatively necessary.

an inquest planned for today on a

cally sealed trunk in the cellar of a
West Fifty fourth street apartment

to theorize on who the victim of the
mysterious murder might be.

known, the five years or more during
which the body is known to have re-
posed in it's hiding place having re-
duced II to a skeleton almost bare of
flesh. From outward indications,
however, the authorities are Of the
belief that the body is that of a wo-
man, the smallness of the bones chief
ly leading them to that conclusion.
The body was discovered by Philip
Meagher when he was preparing to
move yesterday after eight years resi-
dence in the house and opened a neg
lected trunk The trunk was taken to
the morgue.
1t was found that the body had been
damned in the trunk and surround

years ago. He told Meagher on going
away that he would leave the trunk
and call for it some time later.

aviator who was killed at Denver yes
terday, greatly shocked Claude Gra-
ham White, and j. Armstrong Drexel,
who are in this city giving exhibition
flights at Point Breeze park. Il be-
lieve tombstone was the finest aviator

Gus English air man.
These accidents are Just things
that affect aviators and make them
more careful, but even then accidents

are trying to Guido others and it is
this that often results disastrously."
tombstone was as brave and daring
an aviator as have ever met, and
admired him greatly" said Drexel.
Both White and Drexel talked of
Johnstone's disposition and the fact
that in every camp he had immediate-
ly become a favorite, owing to his
comedy both in the air and sitting in
his tent. Both declared the world has
lost a man who would most likely
have set some wonderful altitude rec
ords.
How He Was Killed.
Denver, Coll Nov uS.-Wfth one
wing tip of his machine crumbled like
a piece of paper, Ralph tombstone,
holder of the worlds aeroplane alti-
tude record, yesterday dropped 500
feet to death at Overland park ayia-
ton field, while hundreds of specta-
tors watched the horrid descent of
man and machine.
Held still NV horror for q rninufe the
spectators finally recovered and rush
ed towards the flattened wreckage.
Johnstone's body lay beneath the en-
CINE of the biplane with the white
planes, that had failed him in his
time of need wrapped about it like a
shroud. Nearly every bone in his
body was broken.
He had gambled with death once too
often, but he played the game to the
end, fighting coolly and grimly to the
last second to regain control Of his
broken machine. Fresh from his
triumphs at Belmont Park, where he
broke the worlds record for altitude
with height of s,714 feet, tombstone
I, attempted TO give. the Colorado spectts-
tors an extra thrill with his most dar-
ing feat. the spiral glide, which has
made the Wright aviators famous.
The spectators got their thrill but it
cost tombstone his life.
The fatal flight was the second
tombstone made this afternoon. In
the first flight. when he was in the
air with Hoxsey and Brookins, he
went through his usual dips and
glides. with the machine apparently
under perfect control.

The machinists object to the grant
