aviators extraordinary, were killed Sat.
urday. Both fell from the treacherous
air with the machines-neither from a
vast height-and Moisant 8 remaining
minutes of life were so few as to count
as naught. Hoxsey was killed instantly.
MoiSant met his death at 1855 a. M.

Hoxsey's Great Record.
On December 26 Hoxsey made his
great flight here breaking all altitude
records when he scared to height of
1,474 feet in one of the most spec
taeular flights ever witnessed.
Since then he has repeatedly scared
to great heights trying to set his mark
even higher, but though his flights all
this week have been remarkable none
of them came near the record.
Many Have Been Killed.
Hoxsey was the 35th man to lose
his life in the development of aviation.
Of this number 80 have been killed
the present year; four were killed in
1909, and one, Lieutenant Thomas E.
Zelfridge, u. s. A., in 1908.
The death roll includes Moissant,
George Chavez, the Peruvian, who few

broken the world IS altitude record;
Charles s. Rolls, the popular English
sportsman; Leon de la Grange, the
Frenchman, and Cecil Grace of New
York, who, after flying from Dover to
Calais, was lost, probably in the North

NATIONAL FOREST
LAW HELD CORRECT
Federal Court Rules Against Grazing
Without Permit Being First

The authority of the secretary of agri-
culture to prevent the grazing of live
stock on the national forests without
permit has been sustained in New Mex
leo by action of the federal courts in
three cases in which the defendants had
caused or permitted stock to tresspass
upon the Alamo forest in defiance of
the regulations.
The misconeeption which has led
stockmen to suppose they might Craze
their stock on the national forests
without taking out permit and pay
ing the grazing fee was due to the
decision rendered by the supreme court
of the United States last March, af-
firming decision of the United States
district court for the southern district
of California, by Judge Wellborn, that
violation of the grazing regulations is
not punishable as crime. This deei-
sion of the supreme court, however, was
by an even division of the justices, and
therefore did not decide the general
question one way or the other, but
merely affirmed the decision of the
lower court in the particular case.
Case to Supreme Court.
The supreme court has granted a re-
hearing Of the case, in order that the
question may be passed upon by a full
bench and authoritatively settled, and
this rehearing will soon take place. But
the authority of the secretary to pre-
vent grazing except in accordance with
his regulations does not, it is pointed
out, depend upon affirmation of the
power OF the government to punish vio-
lation of the regulations as a crime.

Weirsdale, July pa gloom hangs
over our neighborhood tonight from
the sad news of the death of Melvil
Buckley. A message from Durham, n
c.. arrived at o'clock this afternoon
announcing the sad news. He had been
at Kimberlin Hights. N c., nearly two
years, attending school and was soon
to return home, but was suddenly
stricken with typhoid fever, which only
took three weeks to prove fatal.
He was only twenty-thr years old
and was large, strong and manly. al
ways hearty and healthy, and, to al,
appearances, was here for a long life
of usefulness. He was very quiet and
his steady application to his books and
work was such as is seldom seen in
young men of his age.
| His unusual characteristics gave
promise of a historical career He had
had long, hard struggle to get his
schooling and had just reached poin,
where he could reap reward for. his
long and earnest efforts. He had pass
ed through many hardships and never
seemed to look back-always forward
But, alas! The death angel has plac-
ed his hand upon him and the turmoil
OF this life is at an end. He leaves a
broken-hearted mother who has passed
through the trying ordeal with the
same brave-heartedness that has al
ways characterized her, and a brother
twenty-one years old, who is preach
ing near Live Oak. Both mother and
brother have the sympathy Of all who
know them.
