HARRY ATWOOD
 A HIGH FLYER
Many Believe Aviator to be We'll Known Railroad Official of This City-Made Remarkable Flight
 At and Around Boston.

The Boston and other Eastern pa pers are publishing columns of read ing matter about a remarkable flight which was recently made by Charles K. Hamilton and Harry N. Atwood aviators, in that territory. Since the publication Of the stories Harry N Atwood, local agent for the Iron Mountain railroad, has been receiving huge bundles of mail from friends all over the country, who have been sending him clippings, letters and papers containing accounts of "his flight" and incidentally attaching
 congratuA 2tions lon his remarkable achievements. Harry Atwood has always been regarded as 'high flyer" but his friends in this city nah no idea that he would ''fly so high'' when away from home, One of the R B2ston papers, in reviewing the flight, said:

Copeland, who died. from a wound accidently inflicted by Henwood when he killed Sylvester Won Phul, opened today, with the placing upon the wit hess stand of Mrs. John w Springer. Almost all the first questions Mrs. Springer were asked by the defense were objected to by the state and the court sustained the objections After prolonged wrangling between counsel Mrs. Springer was eXcused and Hen wood called to build a foundation for her testimony later on.
 Henwocd told how he had met Springer through business transact tions and how he had become ac- quainted with Mrs. Springer He told of his first Introduction to Von Phul the day preceding he shoong and how # Mrs. Springer's request he had made an appointment with Von Phul in the latters room and had asked Von Phul to return to Mrs. Springer some letters which Von Phul had. Von Phul had struck him first with his fist and then with shoe tree, after which they grappled and fell to the floor, Vcn Phul kicking him in the stomach with his knee. Von Paul drew gun and threatened to kill Henwood at the first favorable oppor. tunity, fearing to do it in his room as he would have no defense.
 Coming to the sho oting on the night of the following day, Henwood said he had gone to the bar room of the Brown Palace Hotel with several ac- quaintances and that Won Phul came in later with two or three other men. Von Phul had moved over next to Henwood at the bar. Henwood spoke to Won Phul and asked him if he would not reconsider what had hap pened the afternoon before. Won Phul replied am going up stairs and grab that grayheaded -t hy the hair and pull him out there and show him who is master here (mean- ing Springer). Henwood replied ''I am not going to let you get that over on me and was interrupted by a blow in the face from Won Phul which kniocked me down."
 Henwood as he was arising, says he saw Won Phnl move his right hard towards his hip pocket and fearing Von Phul was going to shoot he drew his own revolver and shot Von Phu!
