Aviator Has Narrow Escape
"Reddy" Maxfield, the LeRoy or Adams aviator who has
been giving demonstration flights in this vicinity met with an
accident Sunday afternoon at McIntire. He came to McIntire to be
in readiness to fulfill his contract at the Labor Day and
Soldiers' Home Coming picnic, and was making a flight Sunday
evening. He carried as a passenger Gilbert Griffin, station agent
at Bailey. Just how the accident occurred neither the aviator nor
Mr. Griffin seem to be able to explain accurately. Will Davis,
living just west of McIntire, was an eye witness to the
catastrophe, and made the statement that the machine was from 75
to 100 feet in the air and the motor either stalled or was shut
off and the plane turned down in a nose spin, striking the earth.
The nose of the machine was driven into the ground and the force
of the contact drove the motor back into the machine. The men
were taken out in an unconscious or semi-unconscious condition.
Examination could discover no broken bones, but both men were a
mass of cuts and bruises and as soon as they could be moved were
taken to their homes at LeRoy and Bailey. They were on the
streets of McIntire through, Monday afternoon, pretty well
covered with bandages but otherwise apparently none the worse for
the tumble. -Riceville Recorder

improper action of the bowels. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea
regulates the bowels, cleans the stomach, clears the complexion
from the inside - nature's way - "Get that healthy, happy
look."
