THROWN OFF OF WAGON.

Alfred Mum, with party of children
in his two-seat wagon, came to Milford
on Tuesday morning to see the circus
parade, and as they passed the garage
on Front Street in South Milford, his
horse shyed away from a machine stand
ing at the curbside, and so collided with
a wagon passing in the opposite direc-
ton The impact caused the shafts of
Mr.. Nunn's wagon to break, and the
horse lunged forward dragging him over
the dash to the macadam street. He
was stunned and bruised by the fall,
and after treatment by DR.. Marshall he
was taken to his home near Milford.
He is 83 years old, and the shock was
severe for an aged man.

 IN CHESAPEAKE
Ensign Billingslcv Loses Control of Hydro-Aero- plane When Steering Gear is Disabled and is Dashed to His Death
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

ANNAPOLIS. June 2O.-The navy added it's first victim to the death roll of the air today when Ensign William NJ. Biungsey was hurled from the dis ablcd biplane 1,80O feet in the air and fell into the depths of Chesapeake bay. Lieutenant John A. Towers chief of the navy aviators clung to the hurting wreck and followed his comrades course from the sky to the water and escaped death, almost miraculously
 Ensign BnHngsley in the bi-plane, which had been converted into a hy- dro-aeroplane by the addition of pom toous, with Lieutenant Towers as a passenger, left the aviation grounds of the naval academy here this morning to fly to Claiborne, IS miles across the bay
 About ten miles down the bay a gust of wind struck the fragile aero plane and Ensign Biningsey was thrown from the aeroplanes steerage gear which was disabled The front planes of the craft fell and dropped like dead bird for the blue eXpanse of water 1900 feet below. As it dropped the pilot was catapulted deep into the bay and the body sank and up to late hour had not been recovered.
 When the aeropIane started on it's dive for the bay, Lieutenant Towers clung desperately to one of the struts between the planes.
 Striking the bay, the machine was carried with Towers beneath the water but rose to the surface almost imme- diately. The aviator tore loose the Iashings of one of the planes and bound himself fast to the pOntOon. Within few minutes he was taken off by B. l.. Bronson and $. Keller who were watching the aeroplane's movements from motOrboat kept on the bay by the navy aviators for use in just such accidents
 At the naval academy hospital, Lieu tenant Towers almost in a state of nervous collapse told the tragic story
 Just before the accident" he said 'T looked at the altitude dial which showed that we were at height of about 1925 feet. Just then a gust of wind seemed to come up from below and struck the aeroplane underneath the rear planes and the machine dove i forward This threw Bllingsley across ! the steering gear and the latter rudder planes went out of business.

YALE SWEPT OFF THAMES
 BY HARVARD
The Crimson Oarsmcn Win Three Victories, and Stu dcts Carry Brooms Elm bIcmatic of Sweeping Nic- tory Against Old Eli
TAssoCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

NEW LONDON. June 2o-For the sixth time in six consecutive years Harvard's varsity cight-oared crew triumphed over the Yale carmen in the four mile race and closed the an- nual inter university regatta here to- day.
 Preceded by two Crimson victories in the forenoon and two wins on Thurs day, it completed d Harvard sweep that has only been equalled once or twice in the long history of Yale Harvard rowing. Bands of Cambridge students were parading the streets tonight shouldering new brooWs emblematic of the Crimson sweep on the Thames riv- CT. The final defeat was administered to Yale crushingly with the English stroke and rowing methods imported from Oxford which are being ridiculed this evening in q manner which many veteran oarsmen think unjust
 Harvard crossed the finish line elcV- cn lengths ahead of the Blue in T minutes and 42 seconds. The Eli eight rolled and slashed across the HarVard's wake 3S seconds later. a badly defeat ed crew.
 Except for the first mile the race was merely a procession with the Crimson steadily increasing it's lead.
 Tn the last half of the mile Harvard maintained d fast pace, finishing with racing sprint that carried the stroke up to forty minute. As the shell slid across the finish, the Oarsmen dropped their sweeps and slapped each other on the backs then waved to friends who were chanting the long drawn out Harvard cheer. Far back came the Yale shell barely crawling through the water with oars trailing and splashing.
 As the shell drifted under the bridge the stroke, Crocker and LippincOtt at No. toppled forward while Philbin at No. was so exhausted he reeled, sag ging the shell dangerously.

Aged Woman is Attacked and Disembowled by Mex ican Who Seeks to Secure Hidden Fortune - Mur- derer Arrested
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1


 DOUGLAS, June 2O.-F'rOm behind houses, walls and roofs, the forces of General Ojeda and the rebel leader, Obregon have been fighting at this town of ortiz, 45 miles north of Quay mas fer two days Conflicting reports of the battle reached here today, but it is believed that when darkness stopped the fighting tonight the ad- vantage lay on the side of the federals, although it is said they numbered only 40OO against 5000 constitutionalists under Obregon.
 Federal agents from Guaymas brought the information that Ojeda with his entire effective force took the aggressive and fell upon Obregon who was in line of battle at Ortiz yesterday morning Today it is declared the fighting was renewed at close quarters in the streets of the town and the fed erals forced the rebels to break and re- treat toward Hermosillo-
 The information was brought to the Mexican consul here but the constitu tionaI junta here claimed to have ad- vices to the reverse effect and that the state troops gained Ojeda's rear early today and cut off his line of retreat toward CfuYmas, the federal base on the Gulf of California.
 An atrocity in which an elderly Mex ican woman, Mrs. Juana Valencia, met death at the hands of a man who GOV eted $100, GOO he believed she had kept hidden in her house was made public today by the authorities of Agua Prie- ta.
 According to the Agua Prieta ofIl- cials Mrs Valencia was attacked in her IN,-7,, D;c a 2 ican from this city, who stabbed her in the abdomen several times and then dragged her into the brush where hc completely disembowled her with dagger. Valenzuela is in the Agua Prieta prison waiting execution.
 75.OOO cartridges presumably des- tined for the constitutiOnalists now fighting the Mexican federals at Ortiz were smuggIed across the border in an auto truck today, not far from Doug las.
 They are said to have been taken to Naco and there placed aboard a special train which hurried them to Nogales and thence south.
 Late tonight the constitutionalist iunta announced he received the fol- lowing telegram from Governor Per squeria:
 "The federal column is entirely sur rounded and is being vigorously at tackled to the north of both Hanks be- tween Ortiz and Santa Rosa Major F AIendez captured the station at Maytorena after a sharp fight taking several hundred prisoners and captur- ing many guns and ammunition. considerable number was killed and wounded on both sides. Telegraph wires are cut and the railroad de- stroyed between Ortiz and Guaymas. sovering communication by the feder- aIs With the base of the federals iso- lated their position is serious as no aid can reach them.'
