Lieut.. Cleveland Gives Spectacular
Performance.

Lieut.. Cleveland of Coventry, with

who hesitated not at the risk or addi-
tional price attached to the adventure,
gave local people a fine opportunity
Sunday afternoon to witness various
spectacular feats performed with an
aeroplane. The repertoire included
such stunts as the barrelroll, the nose
dive, the wing-over and several other
spec fic dives and rolls.
Lieut. Cleveland does not like to
perform these trick stunts for either
his own benefit or the machine. He
says, Straight, common sense flying
is as safe as buggy riding; in fact.
more so, for there are no automobiles
to get in the way" That he considers
plain aeroplaning as a safe means OF
travel may be readily seen by the fact
that he takes his mother and sister
with him on nearly all Of his tripa
away from home.
According to Lieut.. Cleveland once
at a good distance in the air it is al
most impossible for anything serious
to happen to either the machine or its
occupants If the engine stops the
pilot simply looks for field where he
may land. The higher he is the bet

ENGINEER DEAD,
RESPONSIBLE FOR

Passengers Crushed in Seats
When Four Coaches are
Telescoped

Sulphur Springs, Missouri, August
Eye Witnesses were summoned
today by the coronors jury at DE.
Soto Mo. to recount the details OF the
rear end collision of two Missouri Pa.
ciflc trains here Saturday when ofiic.
la Is claimed that the block signals
were to be found in order after the
crash and all we're unanimous In their
assertion that the engineer who was
among those killed, did not heed
warning signals.
Train No. 4. fast passenger, vestl-
buled steel train running at full
speed crashed into No. 81, a local
composed OF five wooden day coach
es, baggage and an express car as
the engine was taking on water with
the coaches stretching back on tres.
ties over Glaise creek.
The impact hurled two of the To-
cal coaches down 50-foot embank-
ment edging the Mississippi and tel.
escoped four other coaches, crushing
a number OF passengers to death in
their seats.
Both trains were behind time, the
fast passenger. running from Fort
Worth. Tex, to St. Louis, carrying
1870 passengers and the local 100 per-
sons.
Ghouls appeared on the scene short
ly after the crash and robbed the
dead and dying. Only one was ar
rested and he said the was William
Hall OF st. Louis. Several pieces of
wearing apparel taken from the VIC
Tins were found on his person and
bible was in his waist The bib g, 1t
was said, had been the property OF
the Rev. V. o. Pensley OF Desoto, one
Of those killed.
The dead and injured were spread
over an area of several city blocks
and chicken crates, automobile cush
ions. baggage and the railroad tracks
constituted their couches.
This little village OF $50 inhabitants
was unable TO care for the injured
and they, along with the dead were
taken to St Louis and Decoto. Dr.
W. w. Hun was the only physician
administering TO the injured for sew
eral hours until a relief train arrly-

One OF the saddest scenes reported
was that of the Degania family OF st.
Louis. Four of the family of six were
killed and the father is reported to be
dying in a st. Louis hospital
In the confusion, several bodies
were hurried aboard the relief trains
before being checked, leaving the
number of dead uncertain. Many
could not be identified because their
effects had been scattered over such
a wide area.
