A la« Pine dispatch of April 2
Hit*»*: A big hoax x u perpetrated
here yesterday that had for Ita vic
tim* the entire population of I .a Pine
and vicinity. A telegram, purport
ing to be from the Roao Festival
Committee, addressed to lat Pine’s
leading mechanic, waa circulated
among the automobile men. stating
that the puthtlnder of the Rose Festi
val balloon rare* waa to pahh over
thla town at 9 o’clock p. til . en route
from Portland to Klamath Falla.
Not a aoul questioned the authen
ticity of the message; by telephone
and by word of mouth the news
spread like wlldnre, and by 8 o'clock
a big crowd of sightseers was gath
ered on the streeta. Promptly at 9
o'clock the whir of a monoplane was
heard, and In the distance could be
seen the lights of the air craft. The
machine sailed high over the town,
and Just aa It passed the Stearns
meadow It waa seen to explode and
fall to the ground.
On foot, by team, on horaeback
and by automobile the populace hur
ried to the scene of the disaster and
found a paper balloon that had been
left over from the last Independence
Day celebration to which an ordinary
lantern was attached. The whir of
the monoplane's wings had been
made by an auto hidden In the
woods.
