WINGS COLLAPSE
AVIATOR KILLED
DE LA GRANGE FALLS TO HIS
DEATH FROM GREAT HEIGHT
AT BORDEAUX.
Bordeaux, Jan. 4. Leon de la
Grange, the French aviator, whose
achievements In the last two years
had won for him a high place among
those who have set out to conquer
the air, -was killed Instantly today
while making a mishit in the presence
of a great crowd. A strong, uncer
tain wind prevailed, but with charac
teristic daring, de la Grange faced
It in the same monoplane in which
he made a record of 63 miles an
hour at the Doncaster meeting last
October. He circulated the aere
dirome, eeemlug to have his machine
Under good control, and yet at times
It heeled dangerously.
I On the third round, -when at a
height of betweea 60 and 70 feet,
he increased his speed. He swung
wide at the turns, but at the lower
end of the aerodrome he attempted
to describe a sharp curve. The ma
chine was sean to sway. The left
.wing was broken, and the right wing
Immediately eol'apsed. The aero
plane came plunging to the earth
and It turned hat over as It fell,
with the aviator clinging to the seat.
In this way it crashed to the ground
with de la Grange beneath, the
heavy motor crushing him.
The mechanicians are at a loss
to explain the accident. They are
merely able to say that It resulted
from maneuvering too. quickly in the
puffy wind. The monoplane was
doubled braced at essential points
and had been given1 a careful exam.
lnation before ascending.
De la Granges flight was merely
preliminary t tie attempt which he
was to make In the afternoon to
break Henry Farman's record. An
eye wifcne3& describes .the machine as
listing at - an exceptionally - 'feioh
peed. De la Grange had already
completed three turns of the im
mense aerodrome and wasi directly
over the sheds when the wings fell
over and the machine shot down
ward with a velocity of a projectile,
striking the roof of a shed a glanc
ing blow
The spectators climbed the bar
riers and rushed to the spot. The
first to arrive were Matthyla, a pu
pil of de la Grange, and a gendarme,
with great difficulty the broken
mass or twisted frame work was
lifted up. De la Grange was carried
to the shed. He .groaned feebly
twice or thrice but died a moment
later. The body had been literally
crushed and the skull was frac-'
tured.
Practical aeroplanlsts concur In
the opinion that the accident was
due to the fact that a 45 instead of
an 18 horsepower motor was used.
Hals. Uiey say. was much too pow
er for the Bma'.l planes. In turn
ing against Uie strong wind, the
left wing was unable to resist the
combined forces of the propulsion
of the engine and the wind pressure
and broke. The heavy aeroplane,
deprived suddenly of its plane Bur
face, shot downward, the aviator
ot having time to disengage himself
from his seat.
ships from Oregion are now held by
Edward Wlnana, of Willamette UnU
verslty and Wistar Johnson of the
University of Oregon.
DEATH OF FORDNEY.
Marion L. Harris, who came out
from Flora, FrlsJay, says that when
he left the arrangements for Ford
ney's funeral had not been com
pleted; they were a.waltlng the ar
rival of a brother from Turlock, Cal.,
and a sister from Medford.
Fordney was apparnetly a strong
man but Imagined he was sick and
had been doctoring for some time.
The revolver was suh an old affair
it ia a wonder he did a clean job of
It. The hammer spring was broken
and ho hadi to hold lit with his thumb,
the powder burning his thumb.
Fordney la counted fairly well-to-do,
and was usually quite a joker.
He had been a resident of ijhJB coun
ty for aibout 20 years. Besides the
relative above mentioned, he leaves
two brothers and a sister in his na
tive place, Scotland county, Mo.
