BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.
Iowa City, la., Nov. 8. (AP).—
The possibility of a big meteor or
, two bursting into view in daylight
on Wednesday afternoon, Novem-
ber 16, is forecast by D. C. C.
Wylie, astronomer of the Univer-
sity of Iowa.
Dr. Wylie heads an expedition
leaving today for Arizona to watch
for the hoped for climax of the
great thrice-a-century return of
the Leonid meteors, or shooting
stars, of which the rare daylight
spectacle would be a part.
Whether the Leonids will come
back astronomers say they do not
know, but Dr. Wylie cites evidence
accumulating since 1930 that one-
mere they are on their way. Thi
Leonids are a stream so vast that
it. takes them several years to pass
the point in space where the
earth intersects their orbit each
November.
“The advance guzrd in 1930,"
says Dr. Wylie, “was better than
usual, meteors falling at the rate
of two per minute, an occasional
one lighting the sky as if by a
flash of lightning.
“Last year the count reached
i three per minute with many bril-

visible for ten minutes. The year-

HENRYETTA, Ok., Nov. 8.—
Three men robbed the American
State Bank here shortly after noon
Monday and escaped southward in
an automobile. The amount of loot
was between $10,000 and $12,000.
No shots were fired as the three
men entered the bank and scoop-
ed up all the cash in sight, after
intimidating Jum Tarpley, assist-
ant cashier, and Al Diamond,
bookkeeper, by brandishing pis-
tols. The two were alone in the
bank at the time.
Tarpley', Diamond and a boy
customer who came in during the
robbery were kidnaped and taken
out of the city limits in the rob-
bers’ car, but were released un-
tress through no fault of theirs.

Aside from this and overshadow-

WAXAHACHIE, Texas, Nov. 8.—
Tried on a charge that, in event
{f conviction, carries a maximum
punishment of 99 years’ imprison-
ment, the case of Oscar Lafferty,
indicted as a habitual criminal,
went to the jury Monday after-
noon.
The. state endeavored to prove
that Lafferty entered and looted a
Red Oak depot, when shoes and
other merchandise were stolen
some weeks ago. Lafferty’s counsel
strove to show that there was no
evidence to prove such a point.
Lafferty and Fred Mace, and
Bobbie Hines, the latter, a girl,
disguised as a man, were arrested
when they drove into Oak Cliff the
morning after the burglary at the
Ellis county town.
Lafferty’s mother and three sis-
ters were with him in court Mon-
