FIRST- PLANE WRECKED ‘ “BY FIERCE WIND STORM ‘Rask Flies To Bemidji From Minneapolis; Makes Big Hit ) With Great Throng. Bemidji’'s delayed ¢lose of the big Fourth of July celebration, was the last-flight of Lieut P. 8. Rask of Min- neapolis Sunday ‘evening, the second of the Sundays exhibitions by this youthful aviator, who flew an army scout plane as a substitute for Lieut. Mamer, whose plane was wrecked by resting on the fair ground the night of the arrival, July 3 . Aviator Rushes Here. ‘With the disabling of the plane of Lieut. Mamer, the exhibitions of this battle front flyer were not held and there was keen disappointment. but it was the fault of the elements. That he was interested is evidenced by his hastening to Minneapolis and laying- the situation before the offi- .cials of the Minnesota Aero club and ‘Lieut. Rask and his mechanic, J. H. iHoffman were started on the flight to :Bemidji, arriving Saturday night at :7:15 o'clock, at which time Aviator - Rask gave a splendid exhibition over the city, while the fair grounds, plane, were thronged. All the feats of the most experienced aviator were performeg, looping .the loop, spirals, all the qnns stunts and topped it all with.a lgng nose dive which sent a thrill through the big crowd of watchers, who thought something had gone wrong, until the plane righted e afternoon and another' of 45 minutes in the evening. After which the disabled plane and the one used ;by Lieut. Rask were made ready for ;shipment back to Minneapolis, leav- ng today. H..J. Massman, mechanic ‘who ‘came with Lieut. Mamer, re- mained in Bemidji in charge of the Lieut. Rask is a mere youth, per- jhaps about 22 years of age. He is of ture, but carries an air of absolute fearlessness. He is as communica- _tive as the proverbial clam and is boyish in manner, bashful, but will answer questions when asked. He encountered 'a stiff south wind while here, which made rising and landings difficult, coupled with a rough as he faced a fence and growth of trees rose and skirted the top of the obstructions. He refused to carry any passengers, explaining ‘‘I’ll not take a chance.” The young man has been flying since 1917. During the’war he was “an - instructor at Love field, Dallas, Texas, and was instructor in aerial acrobatics at Ellington field, Hous- ton, Texas. - Asked if he intended to follow aviation in the future, he replied that he wouldn’'t, that he would finish the present summer season and then study law. Exceeded Exvectations. The exhibition by Lieut. Rask was all hoped for and*far exceeded expec- tations, many remaining in the city from the fourth celebration and hun- dreds more coming from long dis- tances to witneds the air feats. FIRE THREATENS FRAME BUSINESS BUILDING Fire on the second floor came near destroying the two-story frame build- ing, owned and occupied by Ed. An- derson’s second hand store on Min- nesota avenue, the upper story be- son family. The fire department promptly turned out and willing hands of ped- estrians bent to the task of saving the big stock of nmew furniture and other articles which the store con- tained. Water from the fire hose drenohed the stock to save adjoining frame buildings, and saved the struc- ture cohtaining the Anderson store. Had the structure been to the south of its location it is probably the wind would have fanned the flames into total destruction. GET TAIL LIGHTS ON CARS: ., CHIEF ESSLER WARNS MANY Chief Essler worked hard Sunday night, warning owners of cars hav- ing no tail lights. He said that those whom he warned, about 100, would be arrested if they failed to provide lights and were caught later France. SPEEDING AUTO HITS THREE SISTERS VISTTING.
