McDonough sees FIRST AIR ACCIDENT Two Aviators Forced to De scend Near the City from Engine Trouble and Attradt Immense Gathering. While passing over McDonough between six and seven o’clock last Sunday afternoon an airplane was discovered about 3500 feet above ground, when it was seen circling and began descending. It was at once evident that something had gone wrong with the machinery, the plane soon landing with the usual maneuver ing just below Mr. John Turner’s cotton field in the bottom in rear of Mr. John Alexander’s home — it was realized that McDonough had witnessed her first airplane accident. What appeared to the airmen from above to be a good level spot to land, proved a boggy marsh about a foot deep covered with green grass, and when the ship struck it turned completely over. Fortunately no damage was done' however, beyond a broken propeller. In an incredibly short while a crowd of 150 or 200 had gathered, 'coming from all directions —afoot, in buggies and autos, showing that many had seen the plane descend. It was occupied by Lieut. GarcL mr of San Francisco and Lieut. Carey of Florida, neither of whom was hurt. They soon got the ma chine hauled out, when Mr. John Alexander brought them to town in his auto and they spent the night at the Brown House. The plane was taking some parts from Souther Field to a disabled plane in Atlanta when the accident occurred. It was taken down and returned by express to Americus Monday. flower r?'
