arms from getting his sleeves
saturated with gasoline while

and which instantly took fire at

to be better. The Era man did
not go to the rooms of his injured

He has a sister in the hospital.

HOXSEY AND M0lSAhT
PLUNGE FROM LIQUIDS
Aviation Fields at Los Angeles
And New Orleans Are
Scene Of Accidents

John B. Moissant and Arch
Hoxsey. aviators extraordinary,
were killed yesterday.
Both fell out of the treacherous
mir with their machines and
neither from a great height.
Moisant's remaining minutes
of life were so few as to count
rs naupht.
Hoxsey was killed instantly.
Moisant met his death at 9:55
q. m, in attempting to alight in
q field a few miles from the av-
iation field at New Orleans.
Hoxsey, who went into the air
in the afternoon at Los Angeles,
ut PIP O'Clock, lay a broken,
crushed and lifeless mass in
plain view of thousands who
were watching the aviation tour
nament at that place. Thus the
last day of 1910 is bringing the
total number of deaths of those
who have sought to fly to thirty
fva. caps the list with the most
i..astrous of aviators, who have
been writing the history of avi-
alton in the skies of two CONT
nents.
Arch Hoxsey, who only with
the week had set a worlds record
for altitude of II, 474 feet. ran
afoul of a shifty boiling treach-
erous wind when within a matter
of 500 feet or so in the air. and
q few minutes later a Mortified
crowd aroused from the shock
and was rushing madly to where
the broken mass of humanity lay
beneath the canvas Of his planes
and some broken spars.
Both Moisant and Hoxsey met
death in almost the same manner.
Each machine was headed for
earth and was seen suddenly to
stop. hover in the air. then turn
over onto its nose and dive head
