OH|OAN DECLARED
VICTOR IN AIR RACE
Frank A. Trotter Reports He
Landed 385 Miles From
Denver.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, Colo, July 6.-Frank A.
Trotter, veteran pilot OF lighter-than-
air craft apparently was the victor
today in the twenty-fourth annual
national balloon race.
Trotter, plotting the Goodyear en-
try from Akron, Ohio, reported to
race headquarters he had landed at
Presho, S. OAK. approximately 3s5
miles from Denver.
He was the only one of the flve
balloonist who took of here Friday
night to find good fortune in vari-
able winds which kept the others
from drifting out Of the State.
Mai. William ]. Flood, Edgewood.
Md, operations officer In charge OF
the race, said there wes mo question"
Trotter has won the race.
Logs and Paragraphs of the balloon
lists must be checked in Washington
by the Federal Bureau of Standards
and the National Aeronautical Asso-
citation. however. before the winner Is
announced officially.
Second place apparently was won
by the Great Lakes Exposition bal
loon from Cleveland, third and fourth
by the United States Navy bags and
fifth by the United States Army bal
loon. which exploded and burned in
landing 81 miles southeast Of Denver
Saturday.
Previously, Maj Flood announced
Trotters balloon had landed near
Sterling. Colo, lis miles northeast Of
here.
Flood said the winners of the first
three places in the race have the
right to enter the James Gordon Ben
nett international race at Warsaw,
Poland, August 80.
Paul Long of Sterling Colo, said
today that Trotter's balloon did not
touch ground near Sterling. but that
Trotter anchored his bag to Longs
automobile II miles west of there.
Long said the pilot gave him mes
sages to forward to various places,
then released his bag. dumped ballast
and scared away. The bag hovered
in the Sterling vicinity for several
hours before floating away to the
northeast.
Long quoted Trotter as saying the
time he was anchored to the car did
not constitute a landing and that he
was observing the rules of the race.
Maj Flood said an involuntary stop
of IS minutes was permitted.
He declined to discuss the matter
at length, saying the race officials
would have to study the matter and
give a decision later on whether Trot-
ter's fight distance would be to Ster-
ling or into South Dakota.
Even if the distance is measured
to Sterling, Trotter still would be
the leader, inasmuch as none of the
other balloons made that mileage.

The Hoffman and Krafcik families,
all cousins. made up a happy motor
caravan when they left Cleveland on
O holiday trip to the Capital, but on
their way back last night nobody
seemed to know where anybody else
was
At Tarentum, Pa, Saturday after
noon, Mr.. and Mrs. John Hoffman
and Mr.. and Mrs. Krafcik decided
1t would be nice for 17-month- old
Florence Hoffman to ride with the
krafciks and 9-year-old Andrew Kraf-
elk with the Hoffmans.
Sticking together, the families drove
smoothly for many miles. The Hoff-
mans car. however. wheezed and
finally stopped. Unaware that they
we're no longer being followed, the
Krafciks went on.
Police were asked to lend a hand in
bringing about a reunion when the
krafciks arrived here early yesterday.
The families never got together,
though, but started back home, not
far apart, by the same route-the
Krafciks taking care of the Hoffman
baby and the Hoffmans looking after

 Servants of People"
 Lieutenant-G Governor Frank Hayes of Waterbury was among last nights speakers. He warned his listeners against having the democratic party ride rough-shod over the wishes of the people because of the contin- ued endorsement by the electorate. Tt Is my earnest hope and desire that victory does not mean we shall ride rough-shod over our opponents. We are the servants of all the peo. pie of America. Those victories don't come about by chance. We must not forget that we have great leaders: let Us not forget we are the servants of the people and bear- ing that in mind we probably never in our generation will see a return to the republican party" he said.
 Governor Cross, Senator Loner- gan and others prominent in the states organization were among the speakers. Among those seated at the guest table with Governor Cross, Lieutenant Governor Hayes and State Chairman Smith were

Governor

GOVefnOr
 dent, who was reported as being opposed to Lonergan's renomira- ton, in his address last night came out plainly in support of the Hart ford man.
 For the past three weeks the dem- ocratic political pot has been boiling in Connecticut. While much of the party troubles has appeared on the surface there has also been under cover squabbles. It was the latter that caused Senator Lonergan to announce his candidacy for the 1898 nomination in Washington three weeks ago.
 Clears Horizon
 Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy of Hart- ford followed with an out-and- out endorsement of Senator Lonergan. His action gave rise to the belief that the Fitzgerald- Maloney faction would be against Lonergan at the state convention. Senator Maloney's declaration last night served to clear the democratic political horizon con- sidRably. Paying tribute to Gov ernsT Cross, Senator Maloney said:

In Ruins of Every Ghost Town, Men
Still Linger In Search of Lost Lodes
By GEORGE MARSH

Sprinkled through the northern
Rocky Mountains are many aban-
G0ned mining towns, ence bHstlieg
centers Of activity and now only
the home Of the pack rat and
squirrel A few buildings are usual
" standing but the most tangible
evidence Of the ghost cities are
the graveyards, though few Of the
residents stayed long enough to
die. The cellars of the buildings
can sometimes be seen In the sage
brush. An original resident of the
city may remain, hoping to make
another strike that will restore the
city to its heyday.
Such a town is Highland City &c
miles south Of Butte, in the midst
of the towering Highland mountains
The town IN its prime in the early
SOS, was the largest community Of
Virginia City Nevada, and rivalled
that place as a mining and CONNER
cial center. Distributing foodstuffs
and other supplies to the lesser mining
camps, which included Butte, was no
small part of the business that helped
maintain the city; but gold, discovered
In 1868 was the lodestone that drew
people to the almost inaccessible High
land Gulch and paved the way for
the city's growth.
Highland City Boom Days
Crude in its architecture, and as
crude in its administration Of frontier
law, Highland City was a typical camp
Of the early west Busting and BOOM
ing from the stimulus OF gold pour
ing into the pockets Of its people
generosity was a habit and poverty
was unknown. Men Quarreled and
killed each other and we're hanged
forthwith for doing so.Strong liquor
was plentiful but was rarely drunk
to excess Dance halls Of the frontier
type were there, but with little of
the petty knavery that characterized
the less prosperous camps. The place
is still pointed out where a horse
thief, captured some 20 miles west
IN the Big Hole country, was hanged
in 1865. Old timers claim that he
was the only man hanged In the city
for anything short of murder.
But while Highland City did not
shine as center Of outlawry and
speedy justice as did some Of the
other early camps, it was not lacking
in the qualities that make for an
orderly, If somewhat arbitrary, en-
forcement of common law. A committee
Of safety, known as q vigilance COM
mittee, was regularly elected and
Of the work and worries
Of this committee are recounted by
the surviving few who were numbered
