PAPER RELATES
GRANTS SIEGE
AT VICKSBURC

PITTSBURGH, July 10. WP) -
Three rare old newspapers, one tell
ing of General Grant doing "a little
firing Thursday afternoon" and re-
lating his capture of Vicksburg two
days later, are in the possession OF
Mrs. Edna Foster, Coraopolis, Pa.
One of the papers is The Daily
Citizen of Vicksburg, Miss, Of July
2, 1868, when Grant was preparing
to capture Vicksburg. The edition
is printed on wall paper, necessi-
tated by the siege of Northern
troops and their blockade.
Grant did a little firing Thurs
day forenoon" the paper reported.
THE Yanks outside our city are
considerably on the sick list. The
boys are deserting daily and are
crossing the river in the region Of
Warrington, cussing Grant and the
abolitionists generally the paper
read
In the last lines of the last COL
umn was the following.
Mote: July 4, 1868; two days
bring about great changes. The
banner of the Union floats over
Vicksburg. General Grant has
caught the rabbit. He has dined
in Vicksburg and he did bring his
dinner with him.
The Citizen lives to see it. For
the last time it appears on wall
paper. No more will it eulogize
the luxury of mule meat and fric-
asseed chicken urge Southern
warriors to such a diet never more.
This is the last wall paper edi-
ton and is, excepting this note,
from the type as we found them 1t
will be valuable hereafter as a GU
riosity."
Other papers owned by Mrs. Fos-
ter are The Orange County Gazette
and Advertiser, Dec. 10, 1911. and
the Goshen Independent Republican
of Sept 20 1924, both published in

NEVADA WOMEN
FACE TRIAL ON
DEATH CHARGES
BY EARL III. LEFT
United Press Staff Correspondent

RENO, New, July 10. UP)-The
shadow of the lethal gas chamber
today hangs over three men and
two women in Nevada who have
been accused of first degree MUIR
der, for which the maximum pen
atty is death.
Gunplay figured in four of the
murders and a knife in the fifth.
All OF the victims were men. Two
other slayings occurred this year
but the Nevada code" of nom
interference in private feuds and
the "the law of the range" brought
freedom to both yictors in the
quarrels.
A jury freed Frank Blondin,
miner, for shooting and killing
George Indiana, sheepherder. in
the lonely Pyramid Lake section
during an argument over grazing
rights, and a coroner's jury exon
Grated Bill Graham, Reno big
shot" in sporting circles, for Staying
F.. R. McCracken during a gun duel
in a Douglas Alley speakeasy.
The two women charged with
murder are in the Elko county Jail
awaiting trial. Although one slay-
ing occurred in Wendover and the
other in Midas, New, there is a
strange parallel between the cases
both of the men victims were shot
in the back, both women were alone
with the victims when the shoot
ings occurred, both claim the dead
men committed suicide and in each
instance the officers claim suicide
would have been impossible.
Beautiful Rita Thurman is
charged with shooting Ray Mon
see, at Wendover, New, after their
return from a country dance.
The second woman, Mrs. Mary
Young, was bound over for trial on
first degree murder charges in the
Staying of her husband, Del H.
Young, miner, who was found dead
in the doorway of his cabin with
bullet in his head.
In Las Vegas, Nevadas southern
metropolis, two men face death If
convicted. Louis Potter has been
accused of killing j. A. Lewis, plac-
ing the body in truck and over
turning the truck to make it appear
an accidental death.
John Hall, So, is charged with
shooting and killing Jack O'Brien,
prospector. He was killed during
an argument.
L. Ceias, Mexican, is held in the
death house at Carson City pending
an appeal in his case.

MURDER CHARGE
HOTLY OPPOSED

CHICAGO, July 10. U.P) = The
indictment and assignment to trial
in the criminal court of Varney
Cory, Is, on a charge of murder
ing Policeman Edward Smith, who
ordered him from a high school
swimming pool, has created alarm
among sociologists and criminolo-
gists over what they term "the
slowly descending age of criminal
offenders"
Among social workers who be-
lieve the Cory boy should not be
tried in the criminal court are Jane
Addams of Hull House; Joel Hun
ter of the United Charities; Mrs.
Joseph T. Bowen, president, and
Miss Jessie Binford, director, of the
Juvenile Protective association; DR..
Harry R. Hoffman, chief of the be-
havior clinic of the criminal court;
Prof. Edward H. Sutherland of the
department of sociology at the Uni
versity of Chicago; Prof. Clifford
r. Shaw, research sociologist and
head of the department of research
sociology of the Institute for Juve-
nile Research.
Attorneys said that because the
boy was indicted by the grand jury,
the chief justice of the criminal
court had no choice but to assign
the case for trial to a criminal
court judge.

POLICEMEN LEARN
HOME-BREW REAL
POWERFUL STUFF

J FL Centro police officers stood
aghast at the power and force en-
bodied in 40 bottles of home brew
yesterday afternoon.
To begin at the beginning, Cap
tain John Mayo was responsible for
the whole affair. He raided a negro
dance several nights ago, confiscat-
ing a tub containing 40 bottles OF
home brew. Tub and beer were
placed in the liquor room at the po-
| lice station.
Yesterday afternoon Bill Mitchell
was pursuing his duties as desk ser
geant. In the city hall, j. c. Neale,
city clerk, was busy city clerking.
Other habitues of the police
station and city hall were strug-
Cling through their various tasks.
Suddenly an explosion shook the
walls of the police station, sending
it's reverberations into the city hall
and city engineers office. Just one
single explosion. Mitchell almost
leaped over the counter. Neale left
his duties and raced into the police

the place had been dynamited.
Others gathered about.
Cautiously the door of the liquor
room was opened, to display scene
of havoc. For Is feet upwards
walls of the liquor room were spat-
tered with beer. Glass, almost
powdered, Uttered the floor The
largest whole piece of glass left was
two inches and quarter in length,
by actual measurement. OF the 40
bottles of home brew, not one was
left.
Solemnly, as if in mourning, Off
GERS removed the tub and its con-
tents of shatte,ed glass, and swept
up other bits of glass from the floor.
Spots on the wall still remain.

compass Perhaps the first instrument that
early flyers thought Of was the compaSs-the
hand TO guide them home or show them the
way across the continent through the air, un-
erringly as the bird Early flyers few by the

destination is not only given city, but q GER
tain small tract of ground within that city or
on its rim. The pilot must not only make
port" but he must come down, come safely
to rest with his load whether it be human or
commercial freight. He must make it in rain,
in fog, in snow, in sleet, from clouds by day
and night the year around
Because Of this the compass has been found
not sufficient It will show . pilot east by
northeast. west, south, or southwest-whatever
direction he so desires to fly in. But It cannot
ten him when he is flying blind, his altitude
above the earth, whether he is splitting his
course and just what the altitude of his plane
is at any given moment. For this information
other instruments have been invented. And it
is here that the sonic altimeter, the radio d.
rection finder and the artificial horizon come
in. BY using these four instruments the hazard
Of fog, with an experienced flyer, virtually
ceases.
Explanation has already been made of the
use Of the sonic altimeter. It tells flyer his
distance from the earth at any given time.
