HOMEWARD JOURNEY
FULL OF THRILLS

Passed Through Indian Villages and
Visited Many Historic Places-En-
countered SanGstcrms and Cloud

The last installment of the story of
the cross country automobile camping
trip by DR.. and Mrs. Fremont Hamilton
and son, John ". Hamilton, which was
begun June and ended Sept. %, is pub
lished herewith. 1t takes them over the
last section of the trip and covers 3,4l3
miles from Pasadena, Cal, to New York,
thence to Brattleboro.
Leaving Pasadena Aug. 20 they motored
to San Bernardino, over the Santa Fe
trail, which they followed most of the
way to New York, ana along the route
saw many airplanes flying about, also
dirigible and other balloons, and i'm
mense orange groves. This section,
which is one of the largest fruit growing
sections, was especially beautiful to
travel through.
Their next step was at Barstow, after
going through the Cajon pass, where the
temperature was running at more than
10 degrees and everything was very dry,
with no water, although it lay in a noun
famous section. Then along the eastern
edge of the Mohave desert to Needles
hard rains had fallen two weeks before
so the roads were heavy, but in fair
condition for the desert. They were ad-
vised to make the trip in the night be-
cause of the intense heat, but started at
$50 o'clock in the morning.
1 Strong winds were blowing and in some
places the roads were filled in within a
few minutes so that it was almost i'm
possible to keep ones way, but they en-
countered no sand storms through this
vast expanse of wild country, where they
had their first glimpse of a cloudburst.
During the three days which were con
sumed in passing through this section
the sun would be shining very brightly
and in few minutes the clouds became
very black and in few minutes more
sheets of water could be seen pouring
down. In this drive about 33 miles were
covered in crossing the Colorado river,
I which was dry sandy bed with here

essary to drop several feet down to the

son of the State Board of Health
arrived at the state house Monday
morning after trip west in the
interests of the board and matters
demanding attention in the north
western part of the state.
DR.. Wilson was on Burlington
train No. AZ, which struck tthe auto
mobile a mile west of Oxford and
killed six persons. The doctor as
sisted in picking up the bodies and
getting them loaded on the train.
He says that the railroad and wagon
road run parallel just before the
latter crosses the track for more
than a mile, and he can hardly un-
derstand why the driver of the car
did not see the train.
Another automobile close behind
the car which was hit was occupied
by one man. A short time before
that the mans daughter had moved
from that car to the one which was
struck, SO as to be with the rest of
the young persons. She was in
jured, but not seriously.
The train was making a detour
over the Brush line because of a
washout at Ravenna, and was about
II hours late.

Toledo, O., June 3O.-This is a
once a prophesy and a confession
| predict that Jack Dempsey is going
to knock Jess Willard for the pro-
verbal nine of hat racks on July a.
But, gentle reader, l confess that
l am unable to guarantee it.
l don't really know that Mr..
Dempsey is going to do as l pre-
dict and that's fact. He tells me
he will and the truth seems fairly to
beam in his large-like orbs.
Then Mr.. Willard, without giving
the lie direct to Mr.. Dempsey. you
understand, but making the state
ment most emphatically, tells me Mr..
Dempsey will not do anything of the
sort, and l scarcely know which cne
of them to believe. They both talk
like honest men.

But l can say this much to you,
G. R.: If I were dead sure OF my
prediction turning out as predicted,
I'd go away from this town of To-
ledo, Ohio, with enough money to

Whereas, in truth, and in fact, I'll
probably depart with just sufficient
dough to oav my taXicab far= from

KILLED IN FRACAS
American Who Is Blamed for
Starting Row Attacked,
Kicked and Beaten Into In

Brest, June 30-Two French, civil
ians were killed and five American
soldiers and sailors were injured Sc
verely, and more than 100 wounded
in riots here last night. Two Of
the American soldiers are expected
to die.
The casualties occurred as result
of the exchange of shots between
American military and naval police
and French sailors.
The trouble began, according to
available accounts, when an Ameri-
can naval officer, who is said TO have
been drinking heavily, tore down a
French flag and trampled on it. A
crowd of Frenchmen attacked the
officer, and it is said, kicked ard beat
him until he was unconscious.
Americans who passed by and who
were not aware of the cause of the
fight, went to the aid of the naval
officer. The fight then became gen
eral.
Amob of French civilians and SOL
diers and sailors attempted to rush
the Hotel Moderne where American
officers were quartered. They
burned sentry box and threw
stones at Americans in uniform
wherever they found them. The
Americans, it is said, retaliated,
A company Of marines with fixed
bayonets was hurried to the scene
and the Americans soon restored
order. Admiral Henri Salaun, the
French naval commander a. Brest,
ordered the marines to return to
their barracks. AS the marines
marched back to their quarters, it is
declared, they were pursued by a
mob throwing stones and bricks.
The city is quiet TODAY.

PARIS ENTHUSIASTICALLY
CELEBRATES PEACE,

Paris, June 3O.-The Signing of
the peace treaty was celebrated with
enthusiasm in Paris Saturday. The
French soldiers, who for nearly five
years withstood some of the strong
est onslaughts of the Germans, were
the center of the crowd of cele-
brants on the principal boulevards.
Marching columns of troops drew
wild cheers from the throngs in the
streets and the soldiers were pelted
with flowers and blue confetti
wherever they appeared. Large
crowds were massed in front of the
Hotel De Crillon. the American
headquarters, and salutes OF cheers
for America were given.
The, Strassbourg statue had an
American flag at its apex, thus
typifying the efforts of American
soldiers on the fighting front in AL
sace-Lorraine.
Except for the inevitable lack of
spontaneity, the celebration was a
duplicate of that the night the ar
mistice was signed.
They were many American SOL
diers in the throng drawn to Paris
by the inter-allied games. The re-
frain of Hail, hail, the gangs all
here" was heard almost as frequent
~ as that of the Marseillaise. Rep
resentatives of the British domin-
ions also took prominent part in
the noise-making.
Peace was celebrated throughout
France with the utmost enthusiasm.
At Marseilles. Toulon and Cher
bourg. as we'll as other seaports,
warships were dressed in flags, sa-
lutes were fired, church bells were
rung, and there were illuminations
