WAS SHOT DOWN PASS.
ES AWAY.
FINGERED FOR EIGHTEEN DAYS
Matter Will Be Prohed BY The Grand
Jury at the Present Session.

Edgar A. McGregor, who was shot

The details of the occurrence are
still fresh in the minds of citizens Of

alleged that McGregor had taken some
money from a shoe which was con-
cealed under a led at Ebnetter's
house. McGregor was taken to the
city hall about midnight, his clothing
searched and about $93 found upon
his person. this sum being five dol

netter claims to have lost.

McGregor was brought to the city
Jail in custody of Deputy Rawls and
Sergeant of Police Duckworth, ano
while the latter was unlocking the
door of the prison McGregor jerket
away from Rawls and fell into the
street, Rawls falling upon him. The
two scuffled about in the dust fol
sometime, McGregor finally breaking
away and running up Forrest street.
Both officers opened fire upon him
and he was found a few minutes after

fairfield building, with a bullet hol'
through the body. The wounded maj

"Rebeccn" as n Play
From Harper's Bazar.


 The play grew and Miss Thompson liked almost everything I suggested and prac- tically everything that l wrote, which is one reason that we parted such warm friends. If you should collaborate with her I am sure she would be fierce, dog matic and pugnacious, but If she collabo- rates with you she will be modest, help ful inspiring and loyal. She will also believe that you may possibly know yourself. what your own characters, flesh of your own flesh. would do and say bet ter than stranger!

How Curti.. Won sIo.Ooo

Glenn Hammond Curtiss in Lesles
 Prom the first day that the New York World announced its s10O00 Hudson-F ul- ton flight prize, until the day the s1000o check was handed to me, I had the trip more or less in my mind. Every time I went up the Hudson I studied the course and the air currents. The course offered many obstacles, including, as 1t did, prac- tically every kind of territory. from lcvel plains where flying was easy, to treacherous mountain passes. where a sudden gust at any moment might send me spinning over and over to sudden death in the bottom of the Hudson or smash me to bits against the mountain- side. Before it was accomplished the crossing over Poughkeepsie bridge and the flying over the housetops of the me- tropols looked like serious obstacles. too. As I analysed the situation the difficult ties appeared to increase rather than di- minish. The lack of suitable landing places in case of emergency stops. the treacherous air currents in the highlands and the difficulty of carrying sufficient gasoline to feed an eght-cylinder engine were the most important difficulties to be met with. decided to experiment with landing on the water I attached pom toons to my aeroplane fin my shop at Hammondsport and began series of ex- periments on Lake Kenka. After many trials I succeeded in devising pontoons that would keep my aeroplane afioat when I landed on the lake. I found I could alight and start from the water. The World removed the other difficulty by modifying the conditions to permit two stops between Albany and New York for ga soine."
