The U. S. army transport Meigs,
searching the area where the clip
per sent out her last position re-
port, radioed that samples of water
from a 1900 foot oil spot contained
both gasoline and lubricating oil.
The message added to the grave
fears that the oil slick was left
by the clipper in a crash into the
ocean. 1t was held unlikely a
steamship would leave an Oil slick
containing gasoline.
Pan American officials, reluctant
to give up hope, pointed out, how
ever, that even if the oil spot was
left by the clipper it did not neces-
sarily prove the plane had crashed
and sunk. They said the slick could
have been caused by the clipper
dumping gasoline and oil prepara-
tory to a forced landing.

Negro Shoots Wife
For Refusing to
Leave His Cabin
Romance Begun in Jail
Ends in Gunfire at
WeStmOrland Ranch

WESTMORLAND, j ly
30. = Solomon Boone, six
foot Negro, late Friday shot
and wounded his wife, Lilly,
because she refused to leave
his cabin on the Al Kalin ranch
near Westmorland.
The woman, who towers over her
husband by two inches, is in the
county hospital with a shattered
wrist She is faced with possible
amputation of her hand. Scattered
shot from the IL gauge shotgun
used by her husband, lodged in
her thigh. He declared she had
his razor handy to prevent him
from ejecting her from his home.
The Boones were married in Ell
Centro justice court last fall while
she was serving a short Jail SEN
tence. She was released from the
county Jail again Friday at the
close of four-month sentence
imposed for vagrancy in Ell Cen
tro.
She was annoyed with Boone,
she said, because he did not send
her money to buy cigarettes while
she was in Jail. She threatened
to sue him for failure to provide
for her. She had so much trouble
here, she said, she wanted Boone
to give her money to leave.
After she was released she sought
her husband at the Kalin mill and
then went to the cabin assigned
to Boone. He found her there, he
said, and ordered her to leave. She
refused. Boone went to his fore
man, Jack Wynn, for advice. Wynn
was away so Boone borrowed his
shotgun. He fired the shot through
the screen as he stood outside the
house.
Boone sent for Wynn and told
him what he had done. Wynn took
Boone to Westmorland and turned
him over to Chief of Police Ed
Dickerson. Highway Patrolman
Lewis Mitchell took Mrs. Boone
to the Brawley hospital for first
aid and later to the county hos
pital. Mrs. Boone refused to sign
a complaint against her husband.
Deputy Herbert Hughes Saturday
signed a complaint charging Boone
with assault with deadly weapon.
Boone is held in the county Jail.
