ERIE. PA. July l4.-Bud Mars,
one OF the most daring and skilltul
of American a~vaitors. was probably
fatally injured his afternoon when
his hiplane crashed to earth from q
height of several hundred feet, crush
ing him beneath the ~wreckagc.
Mars is in the Hanoi Hospital,
suffering with conclusion of the brain.
severe injuries TO his chest. internal
injuries and many bruises.
The accident occurred shortly after
. o'clock this afternoon. In the pres
ehce of thousands that damned the
aviation field at Thirty-frst and Peach
streets to witness a meet conducted
by a newspapers. Mars was the fea-
ture attraction. M when he made
his first appearance shortly after 3
O'Clock IL was the signal for an out
burst OF applause. Captain Thomas
BALDWIN conducted the. meet. and WAS
present on the field. but did not at
tempt a flight. At 3:45 Mars assembled
for his first fight and as he rode
about the field he performed many
dangerous fests of aviation. He then
descended, adjusted several levers on
the biplane and announced that he
would make another fight at S
o'clock.
Wife Sees Accident.
shortly before that hour the avia-
tor again appeared on the field and
started III in his machine. The as
cent was successful. and he again
performed several daring epolutions.
Then he started to descend, when sud
denly the machine was seer to give
a jerk. and those who were watching
the bird man saw him work his lev
ers back and forth In a manner that
appeared almost frantic. Suddenly
the machine began to whirl through
the air with terrific velocity. A groan
went up from the spectators when the
big machine took its downward
plunge. landing with a crash fairly
on top of the unfortunate young avia-
tor. Suddenly a woman screamed and
rushed towards the stricken man with
both arms outstretched. The cry that
escaped her lips wal pitiful and an
instant later every one on the field
realized that 1t WAS Mrs. Mars who
had been a witness of the accident
that may ave cost her husband his
life.
Willing hands pulled the smashed
hiplane from the injured man-whiie

with grief. She wrung her hands
and wept as II her heart would break,
As soon rs she could reach her hus-
bands side she grasped his hand and
threw her arm about his bleeding
form. AS he was being removed to the
hospital In an automobile, which Mrs.
Charles II. Strong had placed at the
disposal of the physicians. Mars open
ed his eyes, bat he was toe weak to
utter more than a few words. He
iapsed into a state of Inconsistencies
again shortly after reaching the hos
pital. He has not been able to say
what happened to his machine when
it was in the air.
