did not- believe that he would ever
undertake what was thought to be
a foolhardy venutre, Wellman startl
ed the' whole Island by bringing the
America out of the hanger and with
out any oeremony going Into the air.
It was about 4 a. tm. todpy that Ihe
final decision to go up was made by
Cfclat Bnflair Yj^iman.
All night he watched the yeatber
and as the dawn approached he de
cided that aow was the time. Rous
ing the other members of the crew
who slept, in the hanging Vsnlman
called Wellman and told him the
time to start had arrived.
Jumping Into his khaki uniform
Wellman summoned the members of
his family and soon 4as on the way
to the Inlet In an automobile. TBe
great gas bag. waa warped out of
the shed,- the greatest care,being ta
ken not to rip the heavy silken bag
Finally It was put and Slmpns'aa

With everything ready for thai

Ketchell. champion middleweight
pugilist of the world, died here to
night at 7:05 o'clock, as a reeuitof
being shot today by Walter A. Harts
a ranch hand.
The ahooting took plaoe on the
ranch of K. P. Dlckereon, a friend of
Ketchell. near Ooqway. forty allee
east of here. /.
An hour before be died Ketchell
regained consclusnasa. There was
then thought to be a alight chance
tor his recovery Hta condition
soon took a decided change tor the
worse/however, and th? ead cm
quickly.
The pugilist died In the Sprtagflc.^
hoepttal. where he had been rushed
after removal from Conway on a
apodal train chartered by Mr. Dick*
e^eon.
Thro* physichfas ware on the train
An operation waa performed on
Ketchell at he ranch house In an at
tempt to locate the bullet. It was
not found.
Out in the wooded hills eaat of
here. Harts, Ketchell's slayeif, heavi
ly armed Is fleeing before a pack of
bloodhoudds and a posae of officers
and cltlaens.
tpickeraon haa placed a price of
$5^)00 on his capture. <id|ta or alive.
He will be flred upon at aight.
After ahooting Ketchell. who was
at a breakfast table. Hurts rushed
from the house Into thfe yard. He
then fsltered s moment, turned and
went back into the room where Ketch
ell lay upon the floor.
Reaching Into Ketchell's pocket he
removed the pugilist's 88-callbre re
volver and struck him over the head
with It. Then he ran from! . the
houae.
"Ketchell can't tell me how to ruh
my business,? ahouted Hurts to C. E.
Bailey, foreman of the ranch, as he
ran^acroae the yard and away from
the house.
Hurts is ssld to have told Mrs.
Ooldle Smith who Is aald to have!
posed aa Hurts'a wife, that he would |
meet here her tonight. Offlcera
brought her here and queationed
her. hoping to get a trace of Hurts.
8he revealed nothing as to his
whereabouts.
Investigation of Hurtz'a belongings
haa led offlcera to believe hia real
name la Walter Dipley, and that he
la from Webb CUy, Mo.
He has been at the* Dlckereon
ranee aince last Wednesday and but
few knew anything about him.
SHOULD PONDER THEM.
From the Bulletin of the North
Carolina Board of Health on "Sani
tary Sunday" we get the following
facta, and we shall do well to ponder
them:
In the war with Spain the Ameri
can army of 107,000 men hgd 20,100
cases of typhoid and 1,500 deaths.
One-flfth had the dlseaae; 1 In <8
died wltl^lt.
Ii^ the war with Rusata the Japan
ese army of 1,200,000 men had S10
deatha by typhoid; 1 In 4,000.
The American army took no pre
cautions agalnat flies and polluted
water; the Japaneae army did. Re-'
?ult: American aoldlera?1 In 68
died of typhol<f; Japaneae soldlera?
II In 4,000 died of typhoid.
Why this difference? Why this
abajpeful spectacle of a great people
| who. priding Itself on science and
progress. proved hopelessly. deficient
In the moment of greatest need? The
trouble was not with a lack of
j knowledge, but In. the failure to ap
?1 y It.
The aoldlera did not know and
the oOclals.tfeat fid were either ln~
different or fcampared by a lack of
of tWweakfMjes of a
