TWO AYIAToRs KILLED
AT PARK AVIATION FIELD

Paul B. Cooley, Of San Jose, CAL,
and Thomas c. Rogers, Of Prairie
Grove, Ark, were instantly killed
Tuesday afternoon at 2.20 o'clock,
when the training biplanes they were
plotting collided at height Of about
300 feet. Both the young men, who
were students at the field, and who
had only had about three hours ex-
perience in flying alone, were badly
crushed by the fall, and death was
instantaneous.
Rogers was flying at an altitude q
bit higher than Cooley, when his ma
chine skidded and turned sidewise
into the other machine. Both ma.
chimes then turned completely ovel
and made direct descent to the
earth, crushing the bodies Of both
OF the young men.
The bodies were shipped to thu
respective homes of the aviators.

CRIMINAL COURT TO BE HELD
in CHANCERY COURTROOM

My information is that the Local
Draft EXEMPTION Board will not com
plete its labors prior to the February
term of the criminal court. This will
necessitate the use of the chancery
courtroom for the sessions of the
criminal court, and the small size
OF this room precludes the trial OF
cases in which a large number of wit.
nesses will be called. For these rea.
sons, cases .oW on the docket ex-
cept as seC out below, will be con.
tinued until the March term, at which
time it is now expected the courts
will be in undisturbed possession OF
the circuit room.
The cases listed below will stand
for trial on Tuesday, February rs
1918:
State VS.. W. P. Perry.
State VS.. DR.. A. S. Witherington.
State VS.. Tom Easley
State VS.. Lee Miller.
