Y. Stock airplanes about 9:45 o'clock | this morning near the landing field. Miss Toomey lived about three hours after she was hurt. wreck, Cole suffered from slight concussion of the brain and a possible fracture of the skull but was not seriously injured, according to last reports. The accident occurred near the land- ing field opposite the hangar of the ‘Weatern Airplane company about two miles east of Casper. Miss Toomey was rushed to # hospi- tal. She suffered a broken leg, two broken arms, fractured ribs and a*skull fracture, Bloof transfusion was used in Lata save RereMees ane <2 oe ‘The ribs punctired parts of her chest while the fall also fractured the vertebrae about her neck. Cole ‘suffered from cuts, bruises, and Js still in a dazed condition, altho his injuries are not believed fatal. Cole is a former army aviator with two years of training during the war. It is his first fall since he came to Casper with the J. Y. Stock company. - The accident occurred after the first flight this morning, L. C. Williams, a friend from Spearfish, where the ‘Toomey family lived, having proposed the trip in the plane last night and expected to go up with Miss Toomey. It was found necessary to go up in the smaller Curtis plane seating only two. Consequently, Williams went up in the airplane: first. It was on the sepond trip with Miss Toomey as passenger and as Cole was about to make a landing from the south- east that the plane took a nose dive nearly 500 feet into the landing field. Miss Toomey being in the front seat, was badly hurt, the front portion of the plane being a mass of splinters. It Was necessary to tear away parts of the plane to remove her» bodys One theory of the accident is that Miss Toomey, who wanted Cole to loop- the-loop and do the tail spin. fainted while he was doing these stunts and fell: against one of the control levers. This has caused other falls and with the plane in good working order as it ‘was ‘today, this theory seems probable. A high wind and air pockets near the field might have besn the cause also. Cole has been in similar accidents. While in the army a student aviator fainted in much the same way that Miss ‘Toomey. is believed to have done. That ‘time Cole was up about 5000 feet and the control was stopped. The fall put Cole in the hospital for many weeks and the student was badly mangled but ‘lived. . The uncovered brakes in the front seat may have been. stopped if Miss Toomey fainted but it is not known for certain whether this occurred. The mechanic at the hangar said after the accident that the plane which fell was {nm good working condition and he be- eves her fainting may have caused the accident. ‘Miss Toomey was unconscious when removed from the wreckage and lived but three hours after the accident. She came to Casper from Spearfish about ‘two months ago and was connected with the Kejth Lumber company as bookkeeper. Her brother, Howard) Toomey, has been with this company since the middle of the summer. Miss Toomey was born in the Spear- fish valley and spent mogt of her life there. She is the daughter of D. J. Toomey of Spearfish. 8. D. Mr. Williams was in Casper last sum- mer as manager of the Spearfish base- ball team and was a personal friend of the Toomey family in Spearfish. He was electrician of the Home Stake Min- dng company in that city. qr Hungarians Will - Get Treaty of Peace tiem (By Associated Press.)
