Another of the balloons was seen
passing over Olga, 10 miles east of Dan

Mount Ida, Danville and Olga are To-
Gated in the Quachita Mountains, south

After valnly maneuvering either to
scale or sneak under the clouds. which
rose past a height of 1000 feet, and
threatened to engulf them in treacher-
Gus wind currents, they drifted over
the Red River bottoms, shared their
drag lines twice in tree tops, crossed
the river with the lines cutting through
the water, and finally came to rest in
a swamp OF an old river bed.
HAtSI Two hours wandering through
underbrush, Cunningham reached a
plantation in the river bottoms and
summoned aid to remove the balloon.
Due to Gas Shortage.
DR.. George LIE Gale, pilot of the Kel-
vinator of Detroit, told the Texarkana
Gazette over telephone from Horatio
that his landing was due to a Short
age of gas, resulting from an accident
during imitation at Houston.
practically all the ballast had to be
released early to keep the bag afioat, he
said, and finally it drifted naturally, to
rest In cotton field near Horatio, 286

Daughters of Man Attacked
by Farm Hand May

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WARRENTON, Va, July 5.-Allie
Corbin, 55-year- farmer, who. with
his two daughters, was shot by ELL
wood Payne, 28-year-old colored farm
hand, last Sunday night, died here In
the F'auquier County Hospital at 1870
O'Clock this afternoon.
One of the daughters, EStelle, Is
years old. was reported in critical
condition tonight and attending physi-
clans are apprehensive for her recovery
Isabella, 80 years old, the other daugh-
ter, is in the same hospital, and al
though her condition is regarded as
serious, she is expected to recover.
Prisoners Transfer Rumored.
AS soon as word of Corbin's death
became known, 1t was rumored that
Payne had been taken to Alexandra
for safe keeping. The transfer of the
alleged self-confessed attacker, how
ever, was not confirmed by the local
police, who said he still was lodged in
the Warrenton Jail.
Physicians who have attended the
three wounded members of the ,Corbin
family said Corbin's death was caused
by the gunsnot wound in the head
and not by the burns the man suffered
after the shooting.
- IL E1lChdluEl JOUlkHI
said he expected to call special grand
jury to hear the case.
!. Payne first denied responsibility for
the attack on the CorbinS, but later
he was reported as having confessed
TO the local authorities that he planned
10 wipe out the Corbin family because
ne feared the father would make trouble
Tor him. He told Sheriff Woolf, Com
monWealth'S Attorney c. w. Carter of
Fauquier County and Commonwealth
Attorney John Galleher of Loudoun
County that he had borrowed a rife
from Corbin several weeks ago. Sub
sequently he asked Corbin to inspect
some hogs he planned to buy at a
neighboring farm, and while en- route
to the other farm. Payne is declared
to have said, he shot Corbin in the
forehead.
DecOys Daughters Into Car.
Driving back to the Corbin farm. Pavne
told the daughters that their father
was III and wanted them to accompany
him to the hospital. The two women
got into the car and Payne drove off
with them, only TO shoot them in the
head as he had their father. After
driving about the country for five hours
IN an effort to decide upon a means of
covering up his crime, Payne said he
drained the gasoline from the tank,
poured it over the bodies of the three
wounded persons and set fire to them.
Estelle managed to drag her father
out OF the car and escape herself to
a nearby creek. Meanwhile, the flames
attracted farmers and the other dauQh-
ter was hauled from the burning auto
mobile. Payne was arrested later at his
home.
Alexandria police also denied that
Payne was in their custody. They said
further they were unaware of anv mans
to transfer the man to Alexandria.

CAMPAIGN TO CONTINUE.
National Mooney Billings Committee
Attacks Courts Action.

NEW YORK, July 5 (P).-The Ma
tiopal Mooney-Billing Committee an
ndnnced today that it would continue
its campaign to free them from the
California prisons where they are serv-
ing life terms for participation in the
1916 preparedness day bombing in San
Francisco.
The California Supreme Court, in a
report to Gov. c. c. Young yesterday,
said pardon should not be granted
Billings and this was considered a bar
to MONEYS immediate pardon, since
Gov. Young has said the two cases are
identical.
The Supreme Court had all the
facts, but ignored them" said Roger
N. Baldwin, secretary of the commit
tee. 1T confines its comment to gen.
eral differences as to the guilt of the
men. What the court says merely af-
firms what we have been saying all
along. That these men stand convicted
on general principles as labor agita-
tors and not for a specific, proved
crime"
He said the case would be made an
issue in the California primary.
