The plane which crashed was owned by the Vcace Air Service of Great Falls, Mont., by whom Cooper was employed. Cooper had come to Minot Wednesday from Montana. Newspaper men. were denied per- mission to see him but nurses re- ported that the pilot declared he could not recall what happened. Blast Follows Crash The belief prevailed among per- sons at the air field, who reached the scene of the accident a few minutes after it happened, that both of the men who died were burned to death in the explosion which fol- lowed a few seconds after the crash. The saris was destroyed by fire. Frank Slatky, a farm laborer, who was working about 40 rods from the scene, said that he saw the plane flying toward him, traveling with the wind. He could not cstimate the height, but said it wa: uite high.” The plane turned to the left shortly before it reached him, he said, and then he heard the motor sputter. The pilot apparently tried to head the ship into the wind, and Slatky believes the motor stopped. — 5 The wind blew the plane around and Charlotte, N.
