LONDON. May S.--Mlse nerryle r. Law.
daughter OF Mrs. y. Latham Law of At
lsnta. Ga. obtained judgment to-day
for $4,000 and costs against the eXecu-
tors OF the estate of the late Capt. Pat
rick Hamilton. British army aviator.
who was killed while flying In army
man9uvres on September 6. 1912. Her
action was brought 10 enforce an agree
ment by which she says the army officer
settled $4,000 annually on her for life.
Miss Laws counsel said that the army
officer was introduced to her on Long
Island in 1911, tina, he subsequently pro-
posed marriage and that they arranged
for the wedding to take place IN Wash
ington In February, 1912.
Capt. Hamilton's family, on learning
that Miss Law was not an heiress, coun-
sci continued. persuaded the Captain TO
break the engage and Miss Law
brought suit for breach of promise. She
finally agreed to postpone the wedding
until October and Capt. Hamilton, the
lawyer said. settled the $4,000 annuity
upon her for life. The present suit was
brought soon after the aviator's death.
Miss Law testified that Capt. Hamilton
had told her over the telephone Of the
breaking Of the engagement. giving as
mis- reason that they would have only
debts To live ON. She said that she never
released him from the enlargement and
that the telephone conversation was the
last she ever had with him.
A letter written by Capt. Hamilton's
mother to Miss Laws mother. in which
Mrs. Hamilton suggested that the young

was denied by the young woman. A let

was read. In IL she said speaking OF

MINERAL RODS"
DECLARED FAKES

Whether gold, silver, and other
useful metals may be found in the
ground by means Of mineral rods
is a question frequently ssked of
the United States Geological Sur
vey. The latest question Of this
sort comes from Vinemont, Ala,
who states that a mar from Bir-
mingham has one of these rods for
locating minerals, that he claims
to be employed by the government
and that the government gets half
of what he finds. This expert min
fral finders name is stated to be
Wise, which may or may not have
significance.
The Geological surveys replied
to this correspondent is that while
an ordinary compass, or "dip
needle" will be attracted to ores
f iron, nickel and cobalt, which
r magnetic, it will be affected
by M other mineral, and that So
called mineral rods are fakes. Any
n claiming to operate a mineral
rod on behalf of the United States
government is an imposter and
should be let severely alone or re-
ported to the police.

SUCCUMBS
To WOUNDS

Joseph C. Matthias, the old Portu-
gese prospector who was so brutal
ly assaulted by the Indian boy Hud-
son, at his cabin :iear Dayton, just
forty days ago, died last evening
at the private hospital Of DR.. DON
aid MacClean as the result of his
injuries.
Ever since Matthias was brought
to Carson and placed in the hospital
there has been but little hope of
his recovery, though aided by his
wonderful nerve and vitality he
made a gallant fight for life. His
head was beaten almost to a Jelly
by the fiendish Indian kid and his
skull fractured in two and three
places.
Matthias was a native of the
Azores Islands and Cd years of age
He had been a resident Of Nevad
between thirty-ive aud forty years,
following the vocations of mining
and prospecting. He was good
hearted and genial and made
friends wherever he went and it
was in the act of supplying the
degenerate Indian with a meal that
he was attacked and received the
injuries which produced death. His
funeral will take place tomorrow
from the Catholic church in this
city.
Hudson, the Indian boy who
welded the blows that caused the
old pr%ospector's death, was arrested
the second day after committing
the crime. First he was confined
in the Dayton Jail, but when the
officers discovered that plot was
on hand to take him, he was quiet
ly removed to the county Jail at
Yerington and there confined. He
shows no aualms of conscience
over the act he has committed and
only u few days 90 suggested to
another prisoner in the Jail that
they hit the jailer over the bead
and make their escape. He is only
l5 years of age and almost from
infancy, has had a bad reputation
