CURTISS AVIATOR
KILLED BY FALL
TAUNTS OF FAIR CROWD
PROMPTED J. J. FRISBIE TO AT
TEMPT FLIGHT IN DIS
ABLED MACHINE.

Norton, Kan, Sept. 2.-John J.
Frisbie, the Curtiss aviator, was kill
ed by fall at the Norton county fair.
Frisbie met with an accident Thurs
day, and only went into the air again
yesterday when driven to do so by the
taunts and jeers of the crowd.
Frisbie fell about 100 feet, and the
engine of his machine came down on
him, crushing his left side and chest.
He fingered about an hour before he
died.
Frisbie had been giving exhibitions
at Elmore park for several days.
Yesterday his machine acted badly,
and he had fall of about 40 feet, but
beyond bruises and a shaking up was
not injured
He was skeptical about the ability
of his machine to stand another fight
and announced he would not take to
the air yesterday afternoon, but when
his statement was communicated to
the crowd, there was an angry demon
stration. The spectators hooted and
shouted, "Faker," and refused to list
en- to explanations. Frisbie announc-
ed that, rather than have the big
crowd go away with the impression
that he was not willing to do his best,
he would attempt flight.
He ascended from the track without
difficulty, and attained a height of
100 feet, but in attempting to make a
turn the plane tipped, and Frisbie
lost control. AS he came crashing to
earth, the spectators could see the
aviator trying to right the machine,
but as it approached the ground one
of the wings crashed into barn, and
the biplane, glancing off, struck the
earth, with Frisbie underneath.
Frisbies wife, son and little daugh-
ter were witnesses of the accident,
Mrs. Frisbie being prostrated when
she saw her husband fall. Last night
she bitterly denounced the action of
the spectators in forcing her husband
to make the fight with a disabled ma
chine.

OF Texas, who will retire at
~ the close of his present term,
March 3, 1913, has been in the
foremost ranks of the Democratic
party for fifteen years. He first en-

eight years Old. At that time, it is
related, he went to the late David B.
Culberson, father of Senator Culber-

The young congressman proceeded to
analyZe the venerable document, and
much of his present day reputation
as a constitutional authority is due
to his early studies.
Bailey rose rapidly. In the Fifty
fifth and Fifty-siXth congresses, while
still in his early thirties, he was the
minority leader of the house, and his
ability as an orator spread over the
country.
Bailey was first elected to the SEN
ate in 1901, and during the first years
of his service in that body he babe
fair to become the Democratic leader
there. But the assault made in Texas
on his political integrity, growing out
of his relation TO the incorporation
of the Waters Pierce Oil company aft
er it had been ousted from the state,
injured his prestige in Washington.
More recently his influence suffered
because of his enthusiastic espousal
of Senator Lorimer's interests and be-
cause he put himself in opposition to
the principal measures and policies
adopted by a majority of his Demo-
cratic colleagues in both houses.
A desire to dictate to his colleagues
rather than to cooperate with them
dominated Bailey. Outbreaks of his

The Boise papers, and we dare

before attempting to enforce his

The law provides that taxes be-
come delinquent on the first Mon
day in January. They are advertis-
ed as delinquent and if not paid
sold by the county assessor. After
three years the county issues a tax
deed TO the man who has paid the
taxes on the property. At any
time before three years the pro-
perty may be redeemed. After three
years the owner of the property
is at the mercy OF the man who
has paid the taxes. Innocent
purchasers are very often forced ID

title to the property. Mistakes and
errors in assessments are taken
