seeing, and garden flower displays
were certainly fine this year.
Two Accidents

pulled off in fine shape, and prove,
very entertaining, with the excer
ton of an accident at the clos
of the days events, when Re,
Hendrickson of Union was thrown
by a bad bronze, landing on hi.
head and knocking him out. He
was rushed to the local hospital
where DR.. Gray found him suffer
ing with conclusion of the brain
but by Monday he was able to re.
turn home, and came out Of il
pretty lucky.
Soon afterwards a second acct
dent took place to mar the close
of the fair, when an airplane owned
by w. M. Coombs OF Sidney, and
driven by Chef Jacobson, a pilot
from Minot, N. Oak, struck an air
pocket in attempting to make a
fight and came down with a crash
while only up about fifty feet.
Miss Helen Stole, Weldon school
nam, and Dan Murphy, rancher,
happened to be the passengers in
the plane at the time of the acct
dent. All three were injured in
the crash, but at that escaped
mighty lucky. Miss Stole suffered
a broken nose, Mr.. Murphy a cut
on the upper lip and bruise on fore
head, while Jacobson, the pilot, had
his right eye injured and two ribs
broken. Gale Knapp happened to
see the accident and rushed down
to the plane which had landed in
McCugh's field, and brought the in
jured parties to DIR. Rundle's Office
where their wounds we're attended
to.
The plane was quite badly smash
ed, the propeller, landing gear and
both lower wings being badly jimm-
ed up. This was the first airplane
accident to happen in Circle, and
were lucky to escape as they did.
Jacobson Good Pilot
Jacobson is considered one of
the best pilots in the northwest,
and could not account for the acct
dent except that it must have been
an air pocket they got into, as the
plane was fu%nctioning fine, and
had been all day, when suddenly
she came down, and being so close
to the ground, was unable to do
a thing. The plane was taken to
Sidney last Wednesday. 1t will
take several hundred dollars to
repair the damage. The plane was
a new Waco biplane.
