cannot have good tree and a good

fetal ways Of compromising at times.

Moisant Killed at New Orleans.

All New Orleans is mourning the
death of John b. Moisant, who was
killed by the plunging of his Bleriot
monoplane at Harahan, near there, and
the body was placed in a receiving
vault to await his relatives actions.
He will be buried in Chicago.
Moisant won fame at the meet at
Belmont Park, N. ]. Finding himself
without machine, he purchased one
from a friend for $4,000, and within
ten minutes started on his winning
flight around the Statue of Liberty,
winning a prize of $4,000.
Moisant's aeroplane was Bier.ot
monoplane, and in addition to the
heavy engine in front of the main
planes, he had fastened a tank holding
thirty-five gallons of gasoline. Aviation
experts believe that sudden puff of
wind stopped his machine dead in the
air, and the heavy weight ahead drag
ged the light framework behind it,
Tipping the then useless rear elevator
toward the zenith in derision. From
this position partly back of the main
planes, Moisant was Tipped out, clear
of the machine, and struck the ground
on his head, breaking his mack. He
died on fiat car on which he was be-
ing taken to New Orleans.

Southern Pacific passenger train No.

William Davis, a colored porter, was
shot and killed by the robbers. A. w.
Taylor, another porter, was seriously
wounded, and three passengers. one
of them a woman, were slightly hurt.
All the passengers on the train, num-

their valuables and $4,000 to $2500 in
cash. After completing their work the
robbers drove away in wagon.
The robbers did not attempt to en-

Hoxsey and Moisant Killed
When Machines Drop.
DEATH WAS QUICK TO EACH
Former, Who Held Altitude Decord,
Falls at Los Angeles, and Latter
Dies at New Orleans.

Arch Hoxsey, whose awful death by
falling 600 feet in his aeroplane at the
aviation meet at Los Angeles, CAL,
shocked the world, will be cremated
and buried in Pasadena.
Hoxseys mother, Mrs. M. S. Hoxsey,
at Pasadena, is bearing up we'll under
the strain, but it has been decided
that it would not be wise to permit
her to see the horribly mangled body
OF her SON. For this reason the body
will be placed in a sealed casket and
cremated Immediately after the funei al
services.
Hoxsey held the worlds altitude
record, which he won by ascending
1,474 feet, and day later sailed ma
jestically 1000 feet above the highest
mountain in California.
When he was killed Hoxsev was re-
turning from a trip into the clouds.
He was within 600 feet Of the earth,
doing the spiral dip, and cheers were
gong up to meet the conqueror of the
higher air, when his machine seemed
to stop, shudder and whirl over and
over to the ground. AS in the New
Orleans tragedy, the rear elevator,
rendered useless when the momentum
was gone, Tipped around helpless to
aid the fated machine. HoxJey vainly
endeavored to right his craft by warp
ing the main planes and by use OF the
rudder. Vain attempts, there, for be-
fore sufficient momentum was gained
the frail structure crumpled upon the
earth, the heavy engine being torn
loose.
Only few farm hands saw Moisant
hurt!e to his death, but Hoxseys end
came before the Mortified gaze of
thousands who had come out in the
pleasant afternoon to watch the bird
men darting here and there through
the air. The days pleasure ended when
an announcer, sadly lifting his mega
phone, droned out the message:
arch HoXsey has been killed.
