Fae agence , Yellowstone Will “ Be Widened North Of Thermopolis ‘THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., Sept. 10. —During the latter part of this month work on graveling and widening Yellowstone highway be- tween a point three miles north of Thermopolis and Kirby will be commenced. This will give a solid stretch of gravel road almost the entire distance from the foot of Birdseye pass to Yellowstone park, about 200 miles, In order to secure federal and state aid for this project it was necessary that the right-of-way be widened an additional 14 feet. Some. difficulty was encountered in sécur ing this right-of-way because many) of the farmers along the line had itches, fences and trees on the pro- road.

ESTROYERS GO ASHORE LOS ANGELES, CALIF., SEPT. 10,—When the sun rose over South- ern California this morning, it faced a barrage of scientific and popular investigation unprecedented in as- tronomical history. Eclipse expeditions from every quarter of the globe awaited its ap- pearance in the path of totality marked out for today’s eclipse, the first total obscuration of the sun visible in the United States since 1918 and the last until 1925. Batter- ies of specially constructed cameras, sprelecesscopes, interferomelers and other astronomical instruments were aimed at the heavens while overhead circled airplanes of the United States battle fleet engaged in an historic attempt to photograph the on rushing shadow of the moon from vantage points miles above the sea. Radio, too, was playing its first great role in the observation of a total eclipse by spreading an in- visible net of communications over the predicted path of the moon's shadow, linking together the widely separated camps established by American and foreign observatories on Santa Catalina and San Cle- mente islands, off Los Angeles at San Diego and at Ensenada and other Mexican ports.

Forty men and women, their souls glori ously shining in their eyes, an swered the challenge and took the right hand of “Big Jim” in public affirmation of their courageous de- cision to walk the rest of their d in the ways of righteousness.

Young Swope testified to the ef- fect that he and his companion had been attracted by men quarreling about 100 feet from their tent and that they went out with the inten- tion of stopping the noise and espe clally the profane language which could not help coming to the ears of women who were near the grad ing camp. Cramblett is reported to have thrown a knife to Honeycutt saying at the time ‘You've got a paj rof knives now. Use them.” He also kept urging the other man to fight him. Honeycutt sald he di¢n't want to fight, but Cramblett rejoin- ed that he “had to fight."”" Honeycutt threw his arms around Cramblett ad stabbed him. Cram- blett knocked him to the ground then beat him up. Other witnesses testified to the effect that Honeycutt had displayed a knife when the truck load of men were in town during the evening.
