Phil PARMALEE KILLED AT
NORTH YAKIMA DURING
Wind STORM.
Was Giving Exhibition at Fair Grounds
In Air but Three Minutes When
Machine Fell-His Partner Says He 8
Got Enough-Stites Injured at Long
Beach, Cal.

North Yakima, Wash.-With smile
and wave of his hand to the thou
sands who watched him Philip o. Par
malice, one of the Wright aviators, took
the air in the teeth of a gusty west
wind here Saturday afternoon.
Three minutes later his broken and
lifeless body was dragged from beneath
the wreckage of his biplane in an apple
orchard in the lower end of the Mckee
valley, two miles from his starting
point. 4a
As he rose from before the grand
stand at the fair grounds Parmalee
swung to the west over the Yakima
river. He rose to a height of about
400 feet and his speed increased to al
most mile a minute, although it
was noticed that his plane dipped and
rolled and seemed to be controlled with
difficulty.

The day coach of the Great Northern
passenger train, running between Bur
ihngton and Anacortes, left the rails
one mile east of Anacortes Saturday
evening and 16 persons were injured,
none fatally. The accident is believed
to have been due to spreading rails.
The coach was turned completely over
and many of the passengers were in
Jured in their efforts to escape through
the windows.

Halted and Plunged.

When he had gone about two miles
from the fair grounds he swung in a
wide circle to the eastward for the re-
turn journey.
AS he squared away before the wind
the great plane checked in its course,
fiuttered a second like a wounded bird
and plunged below the line of the trees.
1t is thought by the mechanicians
who were employed by Parmalee that
a sudden gust from one of the draws
or small canyons that notch the sides
of the Mckee valley struck the ma
chine and rendered the elevating planes
unmanageable.
Parmalee started his public career in
automobile sports.
Turpin Says He'll Quit.
"I'n never fly again. declared J.
Clifford Turpin, Parmalee IS team mate,
when he arrived from Seattle. $50 far
as can tell from descriptions of the
accident, the tail of the machine was
caught by an up current of air which
prevented Parmalee from controlling
the machine.
"The biplane was what has been
called Parmalee-Turpin model. 1t
was an adoption of the Wright plane,
the same system of control being used.
The control was therefore. perfectly
familiar to Parmalee and myself. This
particular plane was assembled about
six weeks ago in California and both
of us had used it several times.''
The engine of the wrecked biplane
was stripped of all removable parts by
souvenir hunters. What remained of
it was brought here, while the planes
and framework of the biplane were
burned
