Leichlingen, Rhenish Prussia
Especially Failing through space a
distance of nearly 1000 feet Oscar
Erbsloeh, noted aeronaut and in
ventor. winner of the international
balloon race held in America in
1907 and one of the most promising
of German experimenters in aerial
hight, and four companions were
dashed to death in field near -Op-
laden.
The dead are:
Oscar Erbsloeh, inventor and bal
loonist.
Herr Toelle, a manufacturer of
Barmen.
Engineer Kranz.
Engineer Hoppe.
Motorman Spicke.
The bodies of the aviators were
frfghtfully mangled. The gondola
was torn to bits and the motor bur-
led itself beneath the surface Of the
ground.
The victims were men well known
to all Germans interested in aerial
feats, and Epbsloeh gained an in
ternational reputation when. in 1907,
at st. Louis. he won the information
al cup In the distance race for bal
looms.
The Erbsloeh was constructed last
year and had had a dubious career.
The first time is descended it crash
ed into a clump of trees and its
occupants narrowly escaped injury.
A few days ago, during a trial flight,
a propeller was broken. The bal
loon, which was of the nonrigid type,
had just been made over preparatory
to the establishment of passenger
service between Elberfeld and near
by points. Today it was inflated for
final test by the crew. The ascent
was made near Opladen and during
fog.
There we're few eyewitnesses of
the accident.
According to these the start was
well made. The Erbsloeh rose
gracefully, pushing its way through
the fog to height estimated at sew
eral hundred yards. AT this alti-
tide series of evolutions was be-
gun. To the onlookers the airship
appear to obey her helm perfectly.
Suddenly there was a loud report,
and at the moment the fore part of
lllt NSSStl Vi ullipltu up anu INC SOh-
dola was twisted about until it ap-
peared as though standing on one
end. AS the gas escaped from the
forward compartment the prov
swayed downward. For a flash the
airship fluttered like a wounded bird
and then fell swiftly to earth.
The bodies of the vitcims were
removed to the morgue. That of
Erbsloeh would not have been recog-
niZed had it been found alone. One
of the engineers was pierced through
the breast by piece of the wreck
age. The eyes of the other engineer
were gouged out. The hands of all
five were tightly clutched as though
they had held desDerately to the car
as it shot downward. All their
limbs were broken. Their shoes
were torn from their feet. A group
of peasants who left their work in
the fields and rushed to the scene
as the crippled balloon struck the
earth say that they detected a sigh
from one of the men. but no other
sign of life

The shooting is thought to be the
outcome OF tho accidental killing OF

train three weeks ago. The Italians
blamed the engineer and threatened
vengeance against him. Lehr was
probably mistaken for the engineer.
