AERONAUT IS HURT BY FALL
Waiter Brookins' Machine Crashes In
to Crowd of Spectators-High
Wind Causes Accident.

Asbury Park, N. J.-Walter A.
Brookins, the aviator, and seven spec
tators were seriously injured at the
Interlaken field Wednesday when
Brookins, in new type of Wright BIZ
plane, attempted to effect landing in
a high wind, after making a sensa-
tional flight
George Burnett, fourteen years old,
living at Spring Lake, N. j.. was
pinned under the wreckage and is dy7
ing at the Long Branch hospital as
the result of a fractured skull, dislo-
Gated hip and internal injuries.
Brookins, although pinned under the
heavy motor, escaped with a broken
nose and Commissions about the head
and body. The accident might have
cost many lives, if it had not been
for Brookins' presence of mind. In
order to inaugurate Asbury Parks
aviation meet on schedule time, he
went up shortly after four o'clock in
gusty wind blowing at the rate of
80 miles an hour AS he was about
to descend with one OF his spectacular,
spiral turns he lost control of the
machine. Being directly over the;
grand stand the machine dived for the
panic-stricken crowd.
Realizing that the result would be
frightful if the craft fell on the spec
tators, caught like rats in a trap,
Brookins managed to swing the ma
chine around at an angle still more
acute. But the aeroplane was too
close to the ground to make the,
maneuver entirely successful It
barely cleared the heads of the wildly
hysterical crowd, when it smashed
into the grand stand at the end Of
the field. The groups of attaches
there were unable to escape over a
high wire fence designed to keep out.
the crowd. All of them were pinned
under the wreckage.

IcAlester, Okla.-Six hundred In
dams assembled at war council at
Sulphur, Okla, and, using up almost
an entire bottle of ink, wrote .heir sig
natures individually to the McMurray
land contracts.
Although informed that J. F. Nc
Murray holder of the contracts, would
net a profit of from 100000 to 49,
100000 in attorneys fees" the In
dams were advised that the contracts
afforded the quickest way to realize
on their land, estimated to be $50, 900
acres in extent. and valued at $780,
600, 900 to $40,000,00O In addition to
the land contracts, McMurray's agents
had the Indians sign contracts fog
tax cases against the government at
stated fee for each case. The land
fee was 10 per cent, contingent upon
the sale of the land.

ton for the Indians and the Indians
believed if they paid him 10 per cent.

Fear to Follow Moore.

Lynchburg, Va, Oct. 21.-Asloe
from the offering of $500 reward
by Governor Mann for the apprehen-
sion of Moore, and the calling of a
meeting of the supervisors of Nelson
county for Saturday to supplement
this, there is nothing new in the sit
uation in Nelson county, following
the delivery of John Moore, the con-
demned murderer of Frank Howl, by
a mob early this morning.
The authorities have ordered a
strict investigation to arrive at the
personnel of the mob, but the success
of this seems improbable, for the
mob came from a section of the coun-
tv where an investigation will prob
ably be dangerous. 1t is believed
here that Moore will not be followed
on account of the dangers incident to
such step.

Freed by Friends.

Lovington, Va, Oct. 21.-AWlng
the guards of the Nelson county jail
into comparative non-resistance, a
crowd of seveny-fve armed noun
taineer friends of John Moore, under
sentence to be electrocuted at Rich
mond, on November 25, for the muir
der of Frank Howl in Nelson county
last May, descended upon the jail at
one o'clock this morning, stormed
the iail and effected the rescue of the
prisoner.
Precautions had been taken by the
determined mob to prevent an alarm
being spread. Almost as quietly as
they had entered the town they left
it and started back to the mountains.
It was not until some hours after the
rescue that the news spread and soon
several deputy sheriffs were on their
way into the mountains to try to re-
arrest the murderer. 1t is feared
that bloodshed will result from any
attempt of the authorities to recap
ture the murderer.
Many of the mountaineer friends OF
the condemned man believed MIN In
nocent of the crime.
