Holly Plane Hits Wire
Fence Sunday.
COMPANY MEN RUSH TO
DENVER; BUY NEW PLANE
Pilot PuAsa and Lady Passenger in
Machine at Time but Escape On
hurt-New Plane Fills Engage
ment at La Junta Labor Day.


Co. had it's first accident last Sun
day morning at Sugar City when in
alighting the plane caught on
wire fence around the race track,
which had been used for the flying
field.
Pilot Pufiea was just descending
with lady passenger from brief
flight when the accident occurred.
However, neither Pilot Puflea nor
the lady were injured. The damage
to the plane was not serious and
may be repaired. But, as indi-
cative of the sagacity of the Airline
Transportation Co. General Man
ager Ray r. Brown, who was in
Sugar City at the time, and Pilot
Putiea Immediately left for Denver
in Mr.. Browns car, and in six hours
were in Denver where they pur-
chased another Curtis plane. They
left M. Browns car in Denver and
the two men left Denver at 6 Mon
day morning in the new plane, ar
irving at La Junta at $50 a. m.
Monday, making the trip Of $50
miles in two hours, 50 minutes.
This, by the way, was record for
this type of plane, in that it re.
manned in the air a greater length
Of time without descending for gas,
than has yet been made.
The transportation company was
thus on hand to fill its engage
ment at La Junta on Labor day.
Pilot Pufiet is still there with the
new plane but expects to return to
Sugar City tomorrow to finish car
rying passengers there.
The engagement at Sugar City
last week was a grand success, bar
ring the slight accident. The at
tendance was in the neighborhoOd
of 5000 people and the largest crowd
which had attended any of the
Crawley county fairs. They were
delighted with the airplane and
some IL or Is persons made flights
while the plane was there.
The La Junta Labor Day crowd
is estimated at 5000 people. How
ecer, La Junta has been disappoint-
ed twice before in seeing an air
plane and their enthusiasm was
slightly below par on this account.
But, Notwithstanding this fact
there were many ready to take an
air joy ride in the Holly plane.
Manager Brown and Pilot Puflea
certainly are to be commended for
their effort in securing a new plane
and getting back to La Junta to
fill their engagement there.
Manager Brown returned home
last night and will remain till Pilot
Puf1ea returns here next week,
after which they will fill an engage
ment at Beaver City, Okla, at the
county fair Sept. II, IL and 13. Fol.
lowing the Oklahoma date the com.
pany will fly at the Baca county
fair at Springfield Sept. 1S, 10 and

HERE'S A GENUINE BOOSTER
FOR THE HOLLY COUNTRY
Is Ready to Put Up $1,000 Toward
Drilling First Oil Well

The following letter was received
by The Chieftain Monday of this
week. 1t comes from Texas, now
reputed to be the third state in
the Union in the production Of
oil 1t is from former resident of
Holly and many OF The Chietain's
readers may know him
That he is still loyal booster
for Holly and vicinity is amply
shown by his letter published be

predictions and Holly may yet be
the center of an oil region. Who
knows?
Valentine, Tex, Aug. 29.-Editor
Chieftain:-AllOw an old time sub
scriber few lines in your valuable
paper in regard to the land around
Holly containing oil, which think
will be found some time in the
near future in the vicinity of
Holly.
| have seen the oil land here in
the state of Texas and examined
the water in the wells before oil
has been found and l must say
that the water south of Holly is a
great deal like it is here in Texas
where they are getting lots of oil.
| have drawn water from my well
south of Holly and it could not be
used until four or five buckets of
water was drawn from the well on
account of oil being on the water
when drawn from the well.
My faith is so strong that l am
willing to put one thousand dollars
in the first well that is drilled south
of Holly

following letter to Senator Hitch

Have Just read press dispatch from

No Fee Required to
Get Into Race and
Run for Delegate

Lincoln, Neb., May 29.-Candi-
dates for delegates to the constitu-
tional convention are exempt from
paying filing fee, according to All
opinion from the attorney generals
office. The opinion holds that men,
bers of a constitutional convention
are not state officers and therefore
do not have to pay filing fee.
The constitution of the state sets
out that the convention shall con-
sist of as many members as the
house of representatives, who shall
be chosen in the same manner"
There are some who do not agree
with the attorney general, among
them Secretary of State Amsbury,
who says that in the same man
ner" means that the same rules as
govern the election of member of
the legislature shall govern all along
the line, and that they should be
required to pay filing fee for nom
nation Just the same as they do for
nomination to the legislature.
Others are of the opinion that the
throwing down Of the bars and the
opening up OF the filings to every
body will result in an overabund-
ancc Of candidates, men who would
not file if they had to pay the usual
filing fee. resulting in the selection
of men who have had no experience
and the keeping out of the race tor
the convention many good men who
do not care to enter the fight if
they have to 60 up against all army
of candidates who simply file be-
cause it costs them, nothing and
will enable them to see their names
printed on the ballot, 1t will re-
suit in keeping out the men who
ought to be i'll the convention. men
who have a real interest in seeing
good constitution and men who
would be valuable to the state.
Making a free-forall race for
delegate to the constitutional con-
vention is notJthe best method to
secure a kind of constitution that
the state OF, Nebraska should have,
it is said.
