AETNA FIRE COCALLED
OUT TWICE THIS WEEK
ConAagration at Noon Today
Threatens Duck Farm
Near Ogleton
A slight fire of unknown origin

A slight fire of unknown origin
occurred yesterday in the base
ment at Harter Hall. The young
men in the dormitory discovered
smoke coming from the rear base
ment and with their own equip
ment attacked the fire. Little was
left for the Aetna Company to do
when they arrived. The building
is entirely fireproof. Little dam
age was done.
Sparks from a B. & O. engine
today at noon set fire to some
brush near the Duck Farm. The
wind was at the time in a quarter
which threatened to drive the fire
across the dry stubble to the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Mealey. A number
of men who happened to be at the
Pumping Station at the time
fought the fire and succeeded il
putting it out before the arrival OF
the Fire Company which was
hastily summoned.

by each legislator was led a will

iacent district. SO thorough was
the inspection under such guidance
that great difficulty was expert
enced in herding the Solons for

the effect of that visit that Ex-

Here Assured
Promoters Discuss Plans at
Recent Meeting
Site Already Secured; Officers May
be Elected at Next Meeting

The establishment of a country
club here, advocated for a year or
more by prominent men of New
ark and vicinity seems now about
to become a reality. Those active
in pomoting this movement have
already leased plot of ground on
New London Road about a mile

ready formulated it is proposed to
lay out a nine-hole golf course on
the ground that has been leased
and build a club as soon as the
weather will permit The golf
course will be laid out under the
direction of Wilford Reed, expert
at the Wilmington Country Club.
Mr.. Reed recently visited the site
of the proposed course and after
going over the ground said he con-
sidered it an ideal location for a
nine-hole course.
1t is proposed to sell sufficient
stock to provide the course and
club house and considerable stock
has already been subscribed by
those interested. There are a mum,

MANY VISIT SCENE
OF AVIATOR'S DEATH
View Airplane in Which 1t
Spaulding was Burned at
Iron Hill

Many persons from this vicinity
on Sunday visited the scene of the
tragic death of a young aviator
supposed TO be Lieutenant Harry
J. Spaulding, from Boiling Field,
near Washington, ID. c.
According to report confirmed
by the commanding officer there,
the young man left on Saturday
afternoon for a trial fight. He had
some engine trouble and alighted,
it is said, at Aberdeen Proving
Grounds, where he was advised
not to attempt further flight both
on account of the condition of his
engine and the dense fog. He per-
sisted, however, and proceeded
eastward. Near Elkton, he was
observed to be in apparent diff
Guilty, since he was flying low and
circling over the town. Near Iron
Hill station he attempted to make
a landing. His machine struck the
top of a cedar tree, which defect
ed it into a deep embanlIment on
the McClintock farm. In an in
slant there was an explosion and
the machine was in flames.
Several persons witnessed the
crash. John Gibson and Frank
Shepherd hastened to the scene OF
the accident. They found the ma
chine in flames and were unable tx
rescue the unfortunate aviator
According to these men SpauldinG
was either dead or unconscious
when the explosion occurred fO1
he showed no sings of life wher
the explosion occurred and wa
soon enveloped in gasoline flames
1t is supposed that he was killeo
when the machine crashed into tn
embankment.
When the body was recovered |
was burned beyond recOngltlon. |
was taken to the undertaking par
lors of Vinsinger and Pippin il
Elkton. The only clue to tn
identity of the dead aviator wa
the presence of the initials H. j. :
on cuffs and belt buckle.
While the young mans ad
dress could not be learned, he
supposed to be a resident Of tn
Middle West.
= A squad of men from Aberdee
Proving Ground came on Sunda
and removed what was left OF tn
destroyed airplane. Visitors
:, the scene of the accident had II
moved much of it for souvenirs.
S A peculiar circumstance in col
e nection with the accident IS III
l. fact that only short distane
r from the embankment is a lev

: easily have been made if the heaV
