SUCKS AVIATOR INTO PATH
kORN'S PLANE FALLS IN FRONT
 OF MOVING TRAIN.
St. Louis Aviator and Passenger Have Thrilling Escape Near
 Fulton, Ky.

St. Louis, Sept. 6.-Edward Korn, a St. Louis aviator, had a fortunate es- cape from death near Fulton, Ky, ac. cording to long-distance telephone message received by Tom Benoist, his instructor. Korn's tractor biplane, in which he was carrying a passenger, was drawn into the path of railroad train by the air suction from a pass ing switch engine, and Korn and his passenger escaped serious injury or death when the train tore off one of the machines wing tips.
 Korn had undertaken to drive his biplane from Fulton to Union City, Tenn, where he was scheduled for eX- hibition flights. He was forced to make quick ascent to get away from the grounds at Fulton, and found him self directly over the engine. A down ward current of air pulled the machine to the tracks, almost in the path of another train.
 The young aviator told Benoist over the telephone he believed quick ma. neuvering was all that saved him and his passenger. The machine was so slightly damaged that it was repaired within an hour.
