AIRSHIP HAS ACCIDENT
LANDING NEAR MILFORD
Thousands OF People Visit Scene of
Accident, just East of
Milford

The first airship that ever stopped
at Milford so that the people could get
closeup view Of it, fell just east OF
the home of John May Smoot. who
resides in sight OF Milford, on the
eastern boundary Of the town, on Fri
! day morning last. II was a visit that
the Lieutenant and Sergeant who we're
in the airship do not care to repeat.
but who left Milford expressing ap-
/ probation of the courtesies shown
them by the people and with a prom
Use that should opportunity offer that
/ they will make a call at a later date.
The airship came from Aberdeen,
/ Md, and it had gone up for an altitude
observation as part of the days work.
But after ascending about 14.600 feet
/ into the heavens. the weather turned
cold and engine trouble followed. This
caused them to descend, but the clouds
prevented them from seeing the earth,
and in trying to get a location they
drifted over Milford, Delaware In
making the landing in what appeared
/ to them to be an open field the left
wing OF the machine struck a tele-
phone pole, breaking the pole on even
with the ground and wrecking the wing
of the airship. The Lieutenant was
thrown out and bruised but no bones
were broken. The Sergeant was
scratched about the face and slightly
cut upon his nose. They notified the
home station at Aberdeen and on Sat
urday an auto truck came to Milford
and loaded the airship upon and left
for that place Immediately.
The airship was viewed by proably
six thousand people. and there was
a continuous procession of automo-
biles for almost the entire number of
hours the machine was upon the
ground, and they came for many miles
about to get the first view that many
persons ever had of an airship.
