Aviator Ely Dashed to Death.

Eugene Ely, the well known avia-
tor, was dashed to death at the
Georgia State fair on Thursday oi
last week, shortly after 3 o'clock.
His aeroplane refused to rise after a
sensational dip and plunged with
him fifty feet to the ground. In the
presence of nearly 5000 people, he
fell to the middle OF the inclosure OF
the mile track, almost clearing the
machine by a desperate leap that he
made when he realized his peril. His
body was broken in a score ofplaces,
and he died eleven minutes after the
fatal fall. just before the end he re-
gained consciousness and muttered:
81 lost control-I know / a;n e,,in.
to die" Ely made remarkable
fight that morning shortly before
noon, ascending to an altitude of {,
100 feet. At 2:45 o'clock he began
his second flight of the day, rising
gracefully from the track inclosure,
which he circled in a few minutes,
travelling at about thirty miles an
hour. As he was completing the
circle he made one of his famous dips
apparently to startle the thousands
beneath him who were watching with
straining eyes. The birdlike machine
shot down with tremendous velocity,
the crowd applauded, but he failed
to rise. Ely seemed to lose his grip
on the lever, for the machine con-
tinue1 it's downward plunge to the
earth. He had schedule of flights
at the Charlotte fair this week.

Their First Ride on Train.

Mrs. Drumright and Mrs. Duncan,
of the Watkins section, who live
within 10 miles of Oxford, took their
first ride on the train last Wednes-
day. 1t was great event in the
lives OF these two old ladies to ride
to Watkins and get on board OF the
train assisted by the polite Capt.
Elmore for the first time and take
their seats in the car. When the
train commenced to move one said
to the other "Is it moving?"-and
by the time they had fully decided
the question Capt. Griffith was slip
ping over the rails at a good speed
and the other one said "Just fairly
flying by the trees" They must not
have enjoyed the ride as much as
they expected as we learn they re-
fused to return home on the train.

capped | sometimes tell the people
in other parts of the state that
the asphalt deposits in Oklahoma
are inexhaustible, and they call il
to get those skeptics to come down
into this part of the state, and
show them some of the asphalt de-
posits. 1t is not necessary that
enlarge upon the deposits of as
phalt. You know how they occur.
The greater part of them occur
along what are called fault lines"
a fault being a great fissure or crev-
ice which extends from the surface
down toward the center of the
earth, the rocks having slipped up
one side and down on the other,
and at some unknown depth be-
meath the surface this fisswe has
penetrated a bed of petroleum. This
oil has, through long geological ages
been coming up along this fissure,
and the lighter oils have escaped,
and the heavier have penetrated the
rocks on either side, so that the
veins of rock asphalt are ten, twen-
ty. fifty, hundred feet in width,
and how deep no one knows. /
