Los Angeles, Dec. 31.—
Arch Hoxsey, the California
aviator, this afternoon fell
several hundred feet, and I was
sev-
killed.
Hoxsey was
eral hundred feet in the ! air,
when the spectators ’ were
suddenly awe stricken by
seeing his biplane
shoot
downward,
It turned twice
in the descent, I but Hoxsey
was not thrown 1 from the
machine. The biplane seemed
to have been caught in the
vortex of contrary winds,
when it is estimated he was
up three hundred feet. From
the appearance of the body,
life was crushed out by the
weight of the motor, ’ which
was wrenched from its posi-
tion in the machine by’ force
the
of the impact with
ground. Only this week . Hox-
sey broke the world’s rec-
ord for height.
New Orleans, Dec. 31.—John B. Mossant, the aviator, was
killed near here this morning while trying to make a landing at
Harpsan . His machine turned head down, at an altitude of one
hundred feet, throwing Moissant out head first . The machine
was wrecked.
Moissant, in a fifty horsepower Blariot machine, with a
special 25 gallon gasoline tank aboard, left the aviation field,
and flew to Harahan .where special grounds had been laid out,
cn which the aviator was to try for the Michelin cup . Moissant
circled the field twice, trying to find a landing place. This was
a difficult field, being on the edge of the Mississippi river, and
had swamps on all sides. Suddenly, from a cause which may
never be known, the monoplane turned downward and the
watchers saw Maissant pitch clear ove- the head of the ma­
chine, falling one hundred feet, and landing on his head . Mois­
sant was rushed to a flat car, and hurried to a hospital, bv.t died
on the way .

mons calling her to court imme-
diately. She declared it a trick to
get possession of her child, and when
one man attempted to push his way

The foregoing notice to the people
