Aviator Walsh Escapes Injury

Takes Dart.
TREE IS BIRDMAN'S SAVER
Downward Flight of Aeroplane at
Slight Angle In Which Walsh
Had Jfo Control Except for In
stant He Dodged Hoof.
LA GRANDE, Or, July t 5peclaL
Freaks la air current, or. more cor
rectly stated, lack of air current,
(ambled Charles F. Walsh, well-known
aviator, to the uround with Bis machine
here today, and while the air craft 1
torn and twisted, the aviator la the moat
active of thoee striving- to repair the
broken machine In time for a flight to
morrow. It u a sensational dive from a 50-foot
altitude that -frose" the large assem
ble In Its tracks and Instantly hushed
a shout of approval Instigated a moment
before by a beautiful ascent from the
grounds.
The machine was tilted upwards and
skimming at a splendid rate of speed
when, without a moment's warning. It
rtarted downward, careening and swerv
ing like a tailless kite. WaUh says he
struck a seeming vacuum In the air.
The downward flight was at a slight
angle In which the blrdman had no con
trol ercept for an - Instant when he
"dodged the roof of a house only to tip
the rlcht plana and secondary lateral
balance Into a tree. The next moment
the machine turned end for end. and
came down with a crash that left It
a twisted mass of Junk. The engines
were unhurt, but the propellor broke.
The frightened crowd found the aviator
stunned but without a scratch, thrown
from hla seat by the Jerk of the tree.
The start was particularly successful,
and what looked like a sensational flight
was abruptly ended before the machine
had gone two blocks. But for the fortu
nate twist that hit a tall lawn shade
tree. Walsh would undoubtedly have
been killed or at least badly Injured, but
he attributes bis lucky escape to the
Xat that the tree lessened the shock.
The accident happened In time to get
telegraphic orders filled in Portland for
parts whl.-h will be here In time for a
late flight tomorrow.

and he proved to be Kola Neis, one of
the best-known hop dealers in the

Mayor's address of welcome on the
first day of the festival.
