SEES AVIATOR BURNED TO DEATH

Hubert Phenicie, son of Mr.. an,
Mrs. o. M. Phenicie, Of this city, ani
who has been in training at the avia.
ton school at BelleviAe, Illinois
| writes his parents of a tragedy which
he witnessed, and which resulted in
the death of a young aviator from
! Peru, Illinois. The tragedy which
Mr.. Phenicie witnessed was due to
the flyers carelessness, in not screw
ing down the cap to the gasoline tank
on his machine. While in the air the
plane caught fire and before the ma
chine reached ground the aviator had
burned to death Mr.. Phenicie gives
the following account of the tragedy:
"The weather has been fine, much
cooler, and that is surely blessing.
presume you have read about the
accident last Tuesday. when a plane
caught on fire. You probably would
like to hear about it. The driver was
a cadet by the name Of Johnson. Of
Peru, Ill. He was in our squadron,
and his picture is in the one that you
have of US. He was up in the air on
stunts. How it happened, no one
knows, but 1t is thought that he for
got to screw the gasoline cap on tight
and it came off while he was doing
loop.
Saw Tragedy from Air.
Possibly l had a better view of it
fhon ale I OF
feet, and happened to glance over to
one side. About 500 feet above me I
saw the burning plane coming down.
It was short, distance from me,
and / spiraled. around as he came
down. At about. 1000 feet the fire
seemed to 60 out, the plane turned
over on its back, and at $500 feet
flames burst out all over 1t. 500 feet
from the ground she went into nose
dive and never came out Of it. The
plane was almost burned up before
hitting the ground. / think Johnson
was dead before going very far, as
the fumes when inhaled are deadly.
1t was an accident which very rarely
occurs. and no doubt was due to care
lessness in growing on the cap. John
son was peach of fellow, very quiet
and always in good humor.
VIII Soon Finish Training.
This week will finish most of my
class work. 1t will probably be a
couple of weeks before 1 get out on
cross-country flying, so ought to fin
ish in four weeks, although it may
take longer. We have had an awful
storm here. The flying circus was
caught in it Saturday and major
was killed. Yesterday they flew to St
Louis. They have De Haviland
plane with Liberty motor in it. When
taking off you can almost climb
straight up, and talk about speed,
They came from Effingham, 10 miles,
in IS minutes! With the circus are a
couple of Thomas Morse scouting ma
chimes They certainly are small,
about 20 feet from wing tip to wing
tip, and about 20 feet long. They have
a rotary motor. 1t is sure fun to
watch them do stunts. They roll over
so quickly you can hardly tell what
they are doing From here the circus
goes to Kansas City and then to Des
