AVIATOR ELY DASHED TO DEATH AT
STATE FAIR GROUNDS THIS AFTERNOON
While Endeavoring to Make Famous Dip His
Machine Failed to and He Plung
ed to the Ground—He was Horribly
Mangled and his Death Followed at the
Fair Grounds a Few Minutes Later.
Special to Cochran Journal —Macon, Ga. Oct. 19, sp. ni. W hile
making a flight at the state fair grounds this afternoon at 4 o’loek, Eu
gene Eiy the World-famous man-bird, sustained injuries by his machine
re'using to operate and plunging to the ground, that caused his death
ten minutes later. The machine fell in the inclosure about ten feet
from the starting point. He was picked up a broken, bloody, and inert
mass.
Amblnnces were at oVice telephoned for. Runners searched'the crowd
on the grounds for a physician, but none could be located. In the
meantime frantic men were fanning the unconscious and almost lifeless
aviator, bathing his foyehead with cold water, and employing other pri
mitive means for relieving the agony which he unconsciously manifested.
He rose gracefully from the center of the mile-track inclosure and
circled the track, at a height of about 150 feet. In completing the circle
he made a dip, coming down to within 40 feet of the ground, seemingly
as if to freighten the crowd of six or eight ihousand people who watched
him with straining eyes.
As he made his dip the thousands of spectators could plainly see him
wrestle with his levers, and stand al planted on a short bar. But the
most upright in his feet, his feet aeroplane refused to take the ri e, as it
had done countless times before for him, and the fraction of a second
plunged straight to the earth.
He died at the fair grounds about ten minutes after Ids fall.
Sudden Death of
J. W. Perkins.
J. W. Perkins, a prominent farm
er who lives about a mile from
Frazier, was taken suddenly ill
Sunday and died about ten o’clock
p. in., in five minutes after he was
taken sick. He was apparently
well all day Sunday. He ate a
hearty supper Sunday night, and
talked with the family after supper
Sunday night, and was in usual
good spirits with no apparent in
dication of pending death..
Just before he got ready to re
tire he stepped out on the porch to
get a drink of water, and was sud
denly stricken and fell unconscious.
His wife hearing the fall, rushed
out and administered restoratives,
.'but to no avail, he expired in .a
few minutes- Dying so suddenly
there was some suspicion of poison.
Drs. T. D. Walker Jr. and R. S.
Forehand were summoned and re
quested to remove the stomach.
This was done and the ston.ach was
forwarded by express to the State
Chemist for analysis and they are
anxiously awaiting result of exam
