DROPS TO DEATH
Lincoln Beachey Is Drowned in
San Francisco Bay.
His Machine COIIapses Far

San Francisco, March 15.-The
spectacular career of Lincoln Beachey,
one of the n-Jst daring of American
aviators, was ended Sunday when he
fell to his death at the Panama-Pa-

of spectators.
Beachey was completing his second
flight of the day when the accident
occurred
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-03-15

The fatal TALL was attributed to the
fact that Beachey attempted his
stunts in a monoplane. An excep-
tionally large crowd had been attracted
to the fair grounds to see whether he

performed in his trim little biplane.
On the first flight all went well and
the aviator'S familiar tricks were in

perpendicular drop. This Beachey

the monoplane.
The machine was at an altitude of
about 1000 feet, when Beachey shut
off his power. For several thousand
feet it dropped headon for the water
