Virtually all of the tall of Halley's comet has passed into the evening sky. What little remainod this morning above tho eastern horizon will have disap peared In the next 24 hours.

EARLY STORIES OF CO.MET. AVIiat Scientists First Thought Over Delay of Comet's Tail. Bv Associated Press. CARNEGIE OBSERVATORY, at Mount Wilson, Cal., May 19. (De layed in tranmission) Hallej'a comet passed the sun on schedule time last evening and the sun this morning rose ahead of the nucleus of wanderer. When tho earth "will pass through the tall of the comet cannot be determined with any de gree of accuracy. All that is known is that it Is very close to the nearer wall of the tall and is likely to enter It at any minute. Scientists state that Term Lasting Much Longer Than Had Been Anticipated at Coquille. COQUILLE, Ore., May 20. This term of the circuit court may extend into next week owing to some of the cases taking much more time than any one had anticipated. Judge Coke is expediting the work as much as possible as it has been a hard grind on the jurymen, court officials and himself. Had it not been that Judge Coke was able to secure the services of Mit.s Violet Henderson of Marsh field, as court stenographer this week, the court would have been considera bly Impeded. Ira Riddle, Judge Hamilton's court stenographer who has also been serving Judge Coke, was called to Roseburg for the term of court there and Miss Henderson was about the only stenographer capable of doing the work that could bo secured in this section. The jury In tho case of Brown vs. tho Coos Bay, Roseburg and East ern railway for $400 damages for the burning of his barn by a spark from the locomotive returned a verdict for tho defense. It was shown that Brown, who lives near tho track in Myrtle Point, had been dumping refuse on the right of way and that this refuse on the right of way first caught fire from the spark, thus hold ing Brown for contributory negli gence. Today the case of the Marshfield Hardware company vs. the Larson Logging company and Henry Hoeck is being tried.
