dime novel, doesn't it? But there is
no fiction about the story of Lincoln
Beachey, IS years old, the boy aero
naut, who has made half a dozen
daring flights in the big Baldwin air
ship at Portland, and who declares
that he will keep on going up in this
craft or some other, until he proves
to the world that 1t is possible and
practicable for man-even for a boy
to navigate the air.
Lincoln Beachey is a blue-eyed lad
of retiring disposition, so far as con
tact with the general public goes, but
he is by no means retiring when II
comes to going up into the air mile
or so, and cavorting around in the EN-
pyrean like yearling calf in the free
dom of a ten-acre lot. In that sort OF
thing young Beachey is a slayer, and
ne has proved his qualities.

EXPLOSION FROM HEAVY PRESSURE

Washington, D. c., Aug. 2S.-Ensign
Charles T. Wade, who had charge OF
the engineering department on the
Remington, is held responsible Tor
the explosion, according to report
lust made public. Instead of person
ally seeing that the safety valves
were working perfectly he accepted
the reports OF subordinates. The fail
ure of these valves TO work caused
the explosion.
A court martial is recommended
Others are also blamed, but as they
were all killed, the report says that
nothing further can be done in theiI
cases.
The court finds the explosion re
suited from the closing OF a valve
which connected the exploded boiler
with it's steam gauge, so that the pres
sure on the boiler may have been sew
eral hundred pounds TO the square
inch when the accident occurred.
The finding recites the arrival OF
the Bennington al San Diego, and
says:
The ship was I'm an excellent state
of discipline and In a good and eff
cient condition, with the exception OF
her boilers, which were in fair con
ditiOn and efficient, considering theiI
age, about fourteen years, and the use
10 which they had been subjected"

was bitten by the bug of aerial navi-
cation, and has done nothing since ex-
cept to work around air ship shops.
For recreation, two or three years
ago he, built for himself a motor
cycle, which was propelled by gaso-
line. Later he applied some of his mo-
tor cycle ideas to an air ship engine,
and he is still experimenting in that
line. Beachey knows every detail of
air ship construction, and can talk
learnedly of rudders, tiller ropes, guys,
eXhausts, and the other technicalities
of the trade. For five years he has
devoted his energies to mastering
these details. He has ambitions to
build an air ship of his own, and his
experience at the exposition this sum-
mer, he says, will be of great benefit
to him in that direction.

KILLED BY a TRAIN.
J. c. Cooper Hit by the Express In
Washoe Canyon.

W~ouVS O~UyVUs
Washoe Canyon, one Of the narrow
est places along the line of the v.
& r. was the scene of a fatal acct
dent yesterday. Several accidents
have taken place in the narrow quar-
tiers, all of which have been no fault
of the railroad.
Just below Washoe City the wagon
road crosses and recrosses the rail-
road track. Danger signs are posted
conspicuously, and it is the custom
of the engineers to give warning be-
fore approach. Yesterday as the pas
senger train was coming this way.
J. C. Cooper, of Reno, who was driv-
ing a single horse attempted to cross
the track. He was driving in a cart
| and as the train approached the horse
stopped directly on the track. The
unfortunate man, instead of leaving
/ the rig, attempted to force the ami
NAL over. and before he could do SO
the engine was upon him. He was
hurled across the canyon, the cart
demolished and the horse killed.
Passengers state that the engineer
i gave plenty of warning, and made an
endeavor to stop his train.
The injured man was Immediately
taken to the Smith ranch at Washos
City where he remained until the 70
cal carried him to Reno, where he is
under the best medical care.
A telephone message from Reno
last evening stated that Cooper Was
alive. but that there was little hope
entertained for his recovery.
Mr.. Cooper was we'll known in thi
city. He has brother conducting
farm near Huffakers station. The II
jured man, at the time of the acc
dent was on his way to the hom
5 ranch, as he had been conducting
