BOY AVIATOR
KILLED At
SPOKANE

(By United Press Leased Wire
SPOKANE, Oct. 3.-The batter
ed body of Cromwell Dixon, the
19-year-old Curtiss aviator, who
was killed late yesterday, while
flying at the Spokane Interstate
fair, was prepared for shipment to
New York city today, where his
widowed mother resides. J, w.
Scott, manager of the Curtiss Ex-
hibit company, probably will ac-
company the body east.
Dixon was fearfully injured by
his 100-foot fall. One leg was
broken, his face was crushed and
he was SO badly hurt internally
that he died 40 minutes after the
accident from intestinal hemor-
rhages and conclusion of the
brain.
The few persons who witnessed
his fall say he had banked his
planes for a turn when a sudden
gust of wind tipped them. Dixon
made brave effort to right the
machine, then, seemingly realizing
that he was helpless, he shouted,
Here | go!" and the next moment
his cries were stilled beneath the
aeroplane wreckage.
Dixon had been flying eight
weeks. His greatest feat occurred
last Saturday, when lie topped the
Rocky mountains at Helena,
Mont. He was the first to fly
across the mountains.
This notable achievement won
him $4,000 prize which was Of
fered by the Montana State fair.
