BEAcHEY is KILLED
FAMOUS AVIATOR DROPS TC
DEATH AT FRISCO FAIR.
Wings Of New Monopiane Fail and
With Body Drops 2,5co Feet
Into Bay.

San Francisco, March 16.-Death
came to Lincoln Beachey, world-famed
aviator. Sunday afternoon, when he
dropped through the air for $500
feet, before thousands of spectators
at the Panama-Pacifc International
exposition. The accident which ended
the life Of the nan who had defied
death so long came when the wings
of his new monoplane collapsed while
Beachey was attempting to right the
machine after a perpendicular drop
through space of several hundred feet.
The stress on the new monoplane
was too great and one of the wings
was see to fly upward like that OF a
wounded bird. In a fash the second
wing of the ~monoplane gave way and
the shining engine and propeller
blades cleaned in the sunshine as the
crippled machine fell.
There was no chance for escape, al
though Beachey and his collapsed
monoplane landed in the waters Of
San Francisco bay. The force of the
fall was so great that the machine
and its daring pilot was buried In
the mud Of the bay in forty feet Of
water. He struck the water near the
United States army transport docks
in a narrow patch of water between
two transports swinging at anchor.
Immediately a rescue crew was
dispatched from the battleship Ore
gon, which was lying in the stream
After two hours the machine and body
we're dug from the mud by a diver
from the Oregon's crew. Beache,
was found entangled in the wires O.
the wrecked machine and all of the
bones in his body were broken.
Beachey was born March 3, 1887, IL
San Francisco. His father is IN the
Soldiers home at Dayton, o., and hi
mother lives at Morenci, Mich.
