The international aviation meet
which commenced in Chicago, Illinois,
last Tuesday, is furnishing about as
much sensational excitement as the
people of that city could want TWO
men lost their lives the first day and
two men fell from the clouds the
next day. The killed were William r.
Badger, of Pittsburg and st. Crolx
Johnstone, of Chicago. In both cases
death was due to unexpected accl-
dents, probably caused by defects IN
the delicate machinery by which the
aeroplanes are operated. Badger was
about one hundred feet high only
when his accident occurred. One OF
the blades of his propeller gave way
and he went down to the bottom or a
deem Dit in the aviation field. His
neck was broken. Johnstone fell 300
feet into Lake Michigan and the
weight of his engine carried him
down under the water. He was
drowned. On Wednesday Arthur
Stone fell into the lake, but was saw
ed by reason of the fact that his Wlte
had insisted upon his carrying life
preserver as he went up. Howard Gill
who was flying in what is known as
baby Wright, had a narrow escape as
the result of the collapse OF his ma
chine. He went down under the
wreck, but was only more or less
painfully bruised. Lincoln Beachys
engine stopped suddenly while he was
5000 feet in the air and he made
thrilling glide to earth.
