RIS MACHINE TURNS TURTLE Moxsey Meets Tragic End at Los An- geles—Moisant’s Fatal Mishap Occurs at New Orleans. Cal., Dec. 31.—Arch Wloxsey of Pasadena, Cal., king of the air, met a terrible death here. While attempting to make his famous. spiral d@ip and at a height of 300 feet his machine turned turtle and dashed to the ground, burying the daring aviator -eneath it.’ Death was imetantancous, * Hoxsey at the time of his death had feeen in the air more than two hours, ‘rying for the Michelin prize for en- @Gurance, flying sometimes at a height estimated at 7,500 feet, After his astounding evolutions in the air Hoxsey started to descend. Twice on the downward trip he exe uted his spiral dip—the one that led # ithe death of Ralph Johnstone in Denver only a short time ago. . The third time the boy aviator attempted it he went over. A gust of wind caught the tilting planes of his machine and turned it completely over. There was absolutely no hope for Hoxsey. His machine shot to earth like a plummet and when the dazed and fear stricken mechanics and spectators rushed to the spot the body of the boy was found beneath the ruins of his machine erusied to an almost unrecognizable mass. Moisant Killed at New Orleans. New Orleans, Dec. 31t.—John B.

Under the proposed plan the treasurer would be tramsferred the rooms now used by the regis- ter of deeds, amd the apditor’s of- fice would be enlarged by the ad- dition thereto of the room now used by the treasurer. Other changes are also considered. y It ‘was decided to receive wood for the court house and jail after Feb- raary 20. The auditor will publisi a notice announcing the kinds and amount desired and the prices to b paid. Under this arrangement any- one who has wood to sell may deliver it at, the court house in either large or small quantities until the amoun, feeded has been supplied. The plan adopted has proven very satis- factory during the past two years. All road petitions were laid. over until next meeting. A number of bills were allowed. The next meeting will be held February. -7th.
