LONDON, June 16. — The Vickers-Vimy biplane which left St. John’s at 6:13 Greenwich time, Saturday afternoon, landed at) Clifden, Galway county, Ireland at 9:40. this ing, making the trip in 16 hours and 12 minutes. LONDON, June 16.—When the Vickers-Vimy biplane driven Captain John Alcock was sighted crossing the Irish coast, says a Daily Mail dispatch from Clifden, an air- plane flew out to render assistance but was wrecked, owing to the soft- —" he THE DAILY TRIBUNE |) Member of the Associate Press, and served by the Uni Press. ed ness of the ground. When the Vickers machine landed Lieutenant Arthur Brown, navigator, said to Alcock: H “What do you think of that for! fancy navigating?” The pilot re-/| sponded, “‘Very good.” j The two men who had just com-} pleted the epoch-making voyage shook hands, Lieutenant Brown was slightly in- jured on the nose and mouth by a jolt when the machine landed. Both men were deaf and dazed, and unable to walk steadily for some minutes. They quickly recovered, however, and distributed cigarets as souvenirs and gave away a cat and dog, their mas- cots during the trip: ve The aviators said they had a try- ing ordeal. The sun came out only once when the airplane reached a height of 11,000 feet. Only three as- tronomical observations were possible. The altitude of the flight varied from a few feet to 13,000 feet. No ship was sighted. Captain Alcock | said: | “J didn’t know once during the} night whether I was upside down or) not. Once we ascended hurriedly} when we saw the green Atlantic only 30 feet below.” j Wireless equipment failure soon after the start prevented communica- tion with the shore. CONFESSION OF MIJRDER WRUNG FROM J. SCOTT Plea of Guilty Expected When Case| of Young Negro Who Killed Hungarian Comes to Trial Here. Special Deputy-Sheriff Harry Rob- erts arrived in Casper from Chey- enne Sunday, having in custody Jess Scott, the 18-year-old negro lad, who murdered John Kosci on April 11, by striking him on the head with a rock, the tragedy being the outcome of a Sandbar row. While Scott has not confessed his crime to the loca] authorities, word | has been received froffrthe Cheyenne police department that the boy had made a clean breast of the affair when arrested, and it is believed that he will plead guilty when the case comes to trial, Since the commission of the crime the boy has kept on the move, visit- ing many of the cities of the north- west, taking in Portland and Seattle, doubling back to Cheyenne, where he was.picked up by the police depart- ment. ; Mary Walker, the mulatto woman, in whose house the trouble originated, is being held as an accomplice in the crime, and together with Scott, will be given a preliminary hearing in Justice Tubbs’ court some time this afternoon, —$—$—$—$ CHAUTAUQUA NOTICE Owing to delay in getting the big Chautauqua tent pitched on the va- eant lot south of the Ohio Oil com- pany building on North Wolcott, the Chautauqua entertainment will be given at the Methodist church again tl evening, beginning at 8:30 o'clock.

The body of Tim Donovan, the young man who lost his life about a month ago while fording the Platte river on a horse just below the Evans ranch, was located on a sandbar in the river Sunday afternoon, about 16 | miles below where the accident oc- curred, and was recovered and brot to Casper by Coroner Gay. J. E. Mortimore, section foreman on the Burlingtén, who was a pas- senger on the eastbound Burlington train No. 32, located the body while looking from the car window. Upon arriving at his home at Lockett sta- tion, Mortimer went back up the river and anchored the body, after which he notified the coroner. When found, | Donovan still clutched in his hand a} | large root of a tree, which no doubt he had grasped in his death struggle }to prevent going down. After an inquest the remains will be interred in the local cemetery some time today, The body was in a bad state of decomposition, evidently having been washed upon the bar some time ago, where it was fully ex- posed by the receding waters. The only relative of the young man located so far was a cousin in Cas- | for the funeral. | ——_——- NOLAND SYNDICATE LAND IN TEAPOT 15 LEASED Another deal of importance has been consummated in connection with | acreage in the Teapot section of the Salt Creek field, assuring additional activity in a location which already | promises a busy season.

BORDER IS CROSSED WHEN REBELS SHOOT INTO EL PASO CITY One ‘American Killed, Others Wounded, and Cavalry, Infantry and Artillery Units Are Capturing and Killing Mex Rebels South of Border; No Intervention (By Asse > E JUAREZ, June 16.—American infantry began withdraw- ing from Juarez to El Paso at 10:30 today under orders from General Cabell following a conference between Cabell and General Gonzales, Mexican commander of Juarez. Cabell agreed to withdraw American troops as soon as possible. At 10:45 the 24th infantry started marching across the in- ternational bridge from Juarez. By 11 o'clock the entire com- mand was back in El Paso after having spent 11 hours in Mexico. It is understood that the withdrawal order does not mean to recall the cavalry pursuing Villa bands, but indicates that the military authorities desire them withdrawn as soon as the rebels who fired into the United States are dispersed. (By Associated Press.) EL PASO, June 16.-—-At 11 o'clock the entire Second cav- alry brigade could be seen eight miles south and west of Juarez in hot pursuit of Villa forces, which it engaged at 10 o'clock near San ZO. At 11:20 the American cavalry appeared to be gaining rapidly on the Villa band which was making a desperate effort to reach the mountains southwest of Juarez. The pursuit, which started east of Juarez, swung to the west. The columns were seen in a cloud of dust southwest of Juarez. Nothing is known at military headquarters of Francisco Villa’s whereabouts. It is reported that he was with the main column when it attacked Juarez. An unconfirmed report said Villa might have been in the main grandstand at the race track when American artillery shelled it. Nothing definite has been received concerning Angeles’ whereabouts since the fighting began. O8Y Usiiod Press.) EL PASO, June 16.—United States troops are in full pos- session of Juarez.
