KILLED IN SAN FRANCISCO

Lincoln Beachey. the American
aviator, who performed the most
difficult feats perhaps ever accom-
plished by airmen, finally fell to his
death Sunday at the Panama-Paci-
fic exposition while trying to outdo
his customary feats of daring. He
was using new monoplane and at
tempted the perpendicular drop, but
the machine was not strong enough
to stand the strain and crumpled.
Beachey fell into San Francisco bay
from an altitude of 1000 feet, and
his death was caused from drowning
and not from injuries received in
the fall-his body being recovered
in 40 feet of water still strapped to
the machine.
1t will be remembered that
Beachey gave some successful flying
exhibitions at Pueblo at last years

previous Saturday morning and reg
istered at the fremont Hotel. Wealth
er signals warning of the approach
ing storm, were posted at that time,
he said, but no one seemed TO pay any
attention to them. The storm broke
on Monday at II a. m. Trains We're
'soon blocked. BY $50 o'clock the
lobby at his hotel was flooded, and at
8 o'clock the water stood six feet deep
on the floor Of the lobby. driving the
guests to the third floor for safety.
In his room ON that floor Mr.. Butler
watched while three windows were shat.
tered and door in the room was blown
of its hinges. Some of the dodgers IN
the hotel he said, put on bathing suits
and were swimming i'm the lobby. The
force of the wind was so terrific. Mr..
Butler said, as to blow big rocks along
the new stone pier and up the streets
No water was obtainable for drinking
purposes from o'clock on Monday
until 1890 o'clock on Tuesday. Mr.
Butler speaks of the big oil refinery,
which was struck by lightning, allow
ing oil to float all about the city.
Finally things got too exciting for
Mr.. Butler at the fremont and with
his suit case on his shoulder he
waded to another hotel
The former Wilmingtonian speaks
of witnessing the shooting of four
negroes when disorder and crime sc
closely followed the food
With his letter to the brother in
this city he forwarded a copy of the
first newspaper gotten out in Calves
ton following the flood. the Galveston
Daily News. It had but two pages
was about three-fourths as long and
wide as a newspaper page and was
