GRASsHoPPERs ATE S BILL.

F. B. Crane walked into the govern ment office with a g. bill in his hand. or rather what was left of the bill after the grasshoppers had got through with it. IL was picked up on the farm Of Potato Clark. seven miles from Par ker, and turned over to Crane for re- demption by the treasury department.
 From the manner in which the bill was chewed up by the insects 1t must have been attacked from all sides at once. but the brigade that sailed into the head first must have had the sharp est teeth. for there was little left ot the Indian head that once adorned the bill When lost it was new and evil dently just out Of the money making plants of the government-Denver Post

 The grove is on the bank of the smoky Hill river and was a favorite camping ground for Indians from the north and south parts of the state.

NEW DIRECTORY.

g Copies of Bells Directory of Phoe- nix and the Salt River valley were delivered in Tempe yesterday With all due respect to Mir Bell. it must be said that who ever supplied the Tempe data for the book. entirely overlooked the fact that Tempe peo- pie ever get married or ever die From casual glance through the Tempe end of the book. it was noted that the names of dozens of people there appeared who have been dead Tor years, some of them as long as SIX or eight years. The names of a number of ladies who have been mar ried long and who have families are stiil known in the directory by their maiden names.

FISHERMAN FIGHTS SHARK.

Three men of the fishing schooner Gladys and Nellie. frequent visitor at Portland. battled with a I00-pOund shark on Jeffries bank Sunday and finally landed it. The shark had be- come tangled in buoy line and Stiles Ross, one of the three. tried to kill it and nearly upset the dory.
 Lester George and Michael MOssissey answered his hurry call. They were puzzled, as all they could see was Stiles vigorously declaiming and ,jabbing at an unseen object with an oar
 The trio skirmished until they got the shark unawares and then perforated his body with fish forks till the monster weakened. The shark measured twelve feet in length.-Portland Press.

BUDAPESTII, September >, 1911
The bitter race feeling existing be-
tween Hungarians and Tyrolese led to
a fatal riot at an outdoor dance at
little inn near Treibach. in the Aus
TRAN Tyrol.
4. number of Hungarian workmen
were dancing in the evening to the
tune of gypsy band. and as they were
graceful and good dancers they had no
difficulty in finding partners among the
village maidens. This. however, by no
means pleased the Tyrolese men, who
objected not only to Hungarian ma
tional music. but also to seeing their
sWeethearts in the arms of strangers.
Finally one of the natives flung
coin to the leader of the band and told
him to play Tyrolean music or none at
all. Within a minute a race riot was in
full swing. knives were drawn. re-
volvers fired. tables and chairs over
turned and glasses thrown by men and
women alike. Before the police could
interfere two men were killed and
many seriously injured.

TO TEST NEW AERO
Rex Smith Machine Will Be
Tried Out Today.
MAY INSTALL A. GLIDER.
Pupils to Learn in Biplane Minus
Engine-Army Filters to
Compete in Meet.

Flights are planned at College Park
this afternoon by the new Rex Smith
machine that has been completed for
several days. but that was waiting the
arrival Of the engine. The machine on
its initial fight will be handled either by
Fred Fox or Frank kastorr. both of
whom have had experience with machines
Of this type of control.
The new machine differs in good
many details from the two others that
Rex Smith has built. The most no.
ticeable difference TO an outsider is that
the machine is covered with a double
surface of canvas. 1t is lighter than
either Of the previous machine. and in
spite of the fact that ii has sixty
horsepower engine instead of an eighty,
il is expected to he as fast or faster.
Tile workmanship is the best on any
of the machines he has turned out. The
main planes have a more conventional
curve and are more the regulation shape
than in the machine with which Paul
Peck is now giving exhibitions on the
road, The object Is to see whether the
shape of the planes on the exhibition
machine has made any appreciate diff
ference.

May Install a Glider.

\ matter seriously discussed is the
putting in of a gliding machine at the
factory. This is scheme that has been
used with considerable success at some
of the aviation schools abroad, and while
il is not common in these days of motor
driven flight is considered worth trying.
The plan is Ia build machine very
much of the type that is flown with
motor and with the same form of con-
troll. This is run from monorail with
q falling weight, "A scheme used by the
Wrights to launch their flying machine
several years ago The pupil is given
flights of gradually increasing speed and
length and gets used to the feel of the
air and TO handling the controls before
being trusted with a motor-driven ma
chine.
As the machine lacks the motor, fuel
and many other parts that add to the
weight. it is possible to build it much
lighter than a full-engined machine. At
some of the schools where the glider
system is in use flights of as much as
La yards have been made.
\ number of aviation enthusiasts have
expressed willingness to take up glider
lessons should machine be installed,
even though they should not complete
the course in motor-driven flights.
1t is the intention of the Rex Smith
factory to continue work through the
winter, and. as the machines are turned
out for exhibition purposes, they will be
sent on the road in the south. Expert
mental flights were made by Mr.. Smith
at the Park all last winter, and it was
found that even snow did not interfere
with the work.

Considerable surprise has been caused
here by the announcement that a bill
is to be presented in parliament for the
abolition of bullfishting. The measure
will in all probability meet with keen
opposition. 1t is generally known that
Portuguese bullfights are much less cruel
than those practiced in Spain, but the
