The Suchard is. a non-rigid dirigible
OF the Parseval type. $50 feet long and
"a feet in greatest diameter. 1t is
equipped with three powerful engines
of the type used in the Parseval Each
one Is oapab!e of developing ll0 horse-
power and weighs obout 500 pounds
They can be operated independently
and are to be used only as auxiliaries,
to keep the airship in its course. The
balloon will depend for it's propulsion
almost entirely upon trade winds which
at this time OF the year. blow stead
lily from the Canary Islands toward the
West Indian archipelagus.
DIR. Cans and his friends are conf
dent that the flight can be made safely
at this time of the year and that it will
take about four or five days after the
start from Teneriffe to reach some OF
the West Indian islands. The danger
of gas leakage. which would make II
impossible for the big balloon to re-
main in the air SO long, has been ma
terially diminished, in the opinion OF
DIR. Cans by the coating of the bal
loon, which will absorb moisture from
the atmosphere. thus protecting the

ARTHUR GRIsWOLD
SEVERELY HURT

A very sad accident occurred at
the ranch of Mr.: w. S. Griswold in
Ruby Valley yesterday. Arthur
Griswold, his son, was driving a
team loaded with hay for feeding
cattle, when a heavy gust of wind
overturned the wagon and the hay
rack struck him across the back.
He was suffering greatly when
picked up and it is feared that his
back is broken.
DR.. West was telephoned for
Yesterday and Mr.. Gedney took
him in his automobile as far as the
II ranch where he was met by Mr..
Gardner with a team who took him
the rest of the way. Today he
was taken to Wells and from there
he will be taken to hospital in
Salt. Lake. =. ..-
About two weeks ago, Arthur
left the Boiling hospital, where he
had undergone treatment for
assesses. He. was not entirely
we'll, but was able to be about the
ranch. He is about q or % years
Of age and has a wife and child.
The many friends of the family
most sincerely hope that Arthur's
irj tries are not as severe as
reported and that he will speedily
recover.

DOWN .WITH THE GAME

/ One. year last Fourth Of July
two big men. q black one and 4
white one. met in a ring at Reno
for the purpoe of demonstrating
which, Of them could with his
fists infiict the most punishment
upon the other, and which could
withstand the punishment the
longest. Incidentally the contest
was to decide which should re.
.ceive the larger share of a sum
sof;money greater than the annual
salary of the President of the
United States. The promoters Of
this exhibition of brutality had
successfully worked the. press Of
the country for an amount of
advertising which, had it been paid
for at regular rates, would have
cost more than the entire. bullion
sAtpht of the state for aNyear. {iAs
a result" of this advertising men
came from the other side of the
world tc witness the fight. Hum
dreds of thusands of dollars were
spent for travelling expenses. and
millions wagered on the result.
Reno, the sscene of the disgraceful
exhibition, was crowded to over
flowing by the sporting element
from all over the world. 1t took
more police officers to preserve
order in this one town during the
weeks preceding and on the day of
the fight than it ordinarily requires
to police the entire state. and in
spite Of the extra police there
were more pockets picked than all
such crimes put together in the
history of Nevada. The criminal
element from everywhere congre-
gated there, and reaped harvest.
b, The fight turned out a pitiful
exhibition. The white man had
been rendered physically unfit by
to much high living upon the
proceeds of similar exhibitions.
and the negro experienced little
difficulty in beating him down.
This gave the man of color the
title of champion bruiser of the
world, and sum Of money equal
to a kings ransom. He has been
busily engaged for a year and hal f
in squandering this fortune, and
now that his funds are beginning
to run low he wants to rep eat the
performance. - 3.... -.
