brief and was very much appreciated
by all present.
julie Sims, a negro, was killed by
lightning near here on Saturday even
ing when he was going home riding
a. mule which belonged to Mr.. w. l..
Graham. The stroke, it is supposed,
was very hard as the negro's feet
were still in the stirrups and the
mule which was killed, too, had its
head on the negro's leg, showing tnat
neither of them moved after falling
to the ground. Some think that the
lightning jumped from telephone
pole which was in about six feet OF
the place where they were found and
was struck during the same storm.
There was a very pretty game OF
ball here last Friday between Chapin
and Pomaria which resulted in a
score of four to one in favor of Po-

chine, an onloohing crowd is very likely to take him for curious farm CT. intent upon seeing the insides of the thing. His flying costume gen orally consists of a common cap a jumper and oyeralls. The latter on Friday were tied around the bottoms with pieces of rope. In the crowd. De was the most uneoncerned of all. But there was care and quiet inten- sity of application to the business in hand in his every movement.
 The machine which Nixon flys is of the Curtis type. However, Nixon claims that it is superior to the Cur. tis, by reason of alterations and addi- tions of his own in construction. Nix on built the machine. He has entire confidence in it He believes he knows it's every trick, yet he admits that it may have some that be has not learned. There is no bravado about the man, but a tremendous amount of earnestness. He does not lack daring, else he would never have attempted the flight on Friday. nor the one he is going to make today, but it is the pur- poseful, result getting sort of daring free from display and bombast.
 Those who go to see the flight to- day will see a quiet, unobtrusive man without bluster or fuss. yet fully aware of the dangers lurking in the vagaries of canyon air currents and supplemental dangers attending avis- ticn under the best of conditions. The district has never had the opportunity of witnessing flight by such a man and it is safe to presume that those who wish to witness today's work will exercise wisdom EG taking early cars Late cars are likely to be crowded to capacity The special railroad train leaving at 2 o'clock will carry a number of coaches. The round trip fare will be 25 cents.
