considered was the best trail they had

have washed away the scent. and at night

The trail began at the natural cave where

Scipio Gray. who lives In the Fancy Gap
section, reported that the two outlaws had
appeared near his home yesterday. Gray
knows tho Aliens well, and his clew IS con-
sidered reliable. II Is believed from Gray's
information that the two men are moving
back and forth between two bases OF food
supply about ten miles apart.
The report brought by Gray was corrobo-
rated by Alexander McGraw, who lives
near by. and who also declared he saw the
fleeing men. Both Gray and McGraw said
the outlaws were headed toward the home
Of Hubbard Easter. which is about a mile

Twelve Year Old Application Re-

may affect the patents Of the Wright
brothers. Curtiss and other aeropane in
ventors was made by the District of Co
lumbia Court of Appeals to-day. when II
reversed the action OF the Commissioner of
Patents and authorized the reinstatement
OF an application Of Hugo Mattulath. OF
New York. for patent on flying machine
filed on January S, 1900. When the applica-
ton was then examined in that year the
official report upon 1t read:
No successful attempt has yet been made
TO rise from the earth's surface by means
of an aerial vessel unprovided with a bal
loon. The practicability of the apparatus
is so problematical that actual demonstra-
ton of operativeness will be rt Tired before
the grant of patent.
Mr. Mattulath died soon afterward, and u
was not until 1909 that his widow discovered
the applicaton. Through an attorney she
filed an application TO revive. but this was
denied by the patent authorities.
Later litigation between the Wright
brothers and Mr.. Curtiss brought TO light
the fact that Mr.. Mattulaths application
contained specifications Tor a wing tin heX-
