| CINCINNATI, July 30.-Three are
| dead FIVE will die before morning, ac-
cording to attending physicians, one
| other is probably fatally burned, and
eleven othera are seriously injured as
| the Lagoon motordrome, across the
river, tonight.
Odin Johnson of Salt Lake City, cap
| tain of the Cincinnati team, which was
contesting at the motordrome, drove
his cycle, for some reason that prob
| ably will remain unknown. to the ex
| treme top of the circular track
crashed into an electric light pole,
broke it off, and then contact of the
live wire with the machine exploded
| the gasoline tank, throwing the burn
| ing fluid over a score of spectators.
Pays With His Life.
Johnson paid the penalty with his
life, while William Davis, aged 5
years, also is dead as the result of the
accident. Samuel Travers of Cincinnati
died in the hospital tonight.
Five others, two women and three
men. cannot live until morning, while
others are regarded at the Kentucky
hospital as in a serious condition.
That large number Of others, who
cannot be located tonight, were burned,
is almost q certainty, as several drug
stores in the vicinity of the place
were kept busy for an hour after the
accident dressing the burns Of those
who escaped without serious injury.
The fatally burned are:
ORVILLE HART, Newport, KY.
WILLIAM PATTERSON, Cincin-
natl.
HERMAN DAVIS, Cincinnati.
MRS. WILLIAM McMICHAELS,
Cincinnati.
MISS BRUCKMAN, Cincinnati.
The race was the last one on the
programme for the night, and John
son, who had won both the previous
contests, was leading. Coming in front
of the grand stand, he was seen sud-
denly to steer his machine toward the
top, and before he could right it again
he had hit the pole.
Human Torches.
A moment later a streak OF fame
shot out over the audience and panic
reigned. Those on fire ran wildly
about, and it was with difficulty that
the flames were extinguished in time
to prevent the grandstand from catch
ing fire.
johnson was conscious when picked
ND, but died on his way to the
hospital
The track is n quarter-mile saucer
track, and has an angle of 90 degrees.
The races have been going on for
several weeks, and this is the second
accident. the cyclist in the other hav-
ing been released from the hospital
only few days ago. The motordrome
was crowded when the accident oc-
curred. the advertised feature being

track record of eighty'fve miles an
hour
When the spectators who were on
fire began to run the audience was
thrown into a panic Many women
tainted, and it was with the greatest
lif1iculty that stampede was pre-
,ented. The Cleveland team was op-
posing the Cincinnati team IN the
ace.

fellow riders at the Wandamere track
and 10 the motorcycle race goers
generally as "Otis" Johnson. He was
regarded as one OF the best OF the
young riders who ever appeared on
a machine In Salt Lake.
On June 6 OF last year "Heinle"

dent, Johnsons machine was the one

machine made a slight deviation
towards the bottom OF the track.
Potter instead of taking the higher

which the policeman lost his life.
