Hanson, partner of Pi- lot Bert L. Cole in aerial acrobat- ics that have thrilled thousands in recent weeks, made a last and-fa- tal descent from an airplane just before 7 o’clock last night over the flying field of the Western Airplane cor. Poration, three miles east of Casper. “There goes Hanson!” was a sur- prised exclamation of hundreds of peo- ple in the city who were idly watch- ing Bert Cole go through his reper- toire of stunts, not expecting a para chute leap. The parachute ofiened, then collapsed and the aviator -was seen to describe a circling dive finder the point where the parachute,*a mere speck in the distance, disappéared and dropped from sight. Out at the aviation field a few mo- ™ents later, @ small group of men who watched from the hangar reached the spot where Hanson’s body had half. buried itself in the soft earth by the force of a 4,400-foot plunge, probably unconscious before he struck the} ground, his right side was crushed, an arm and leg broken in many places. DEATH RESULT OF PRACTICE. LEAP. The fact that the tea was made in practice work was all that prevented thousands from crowding the ap- proaches to the field” and witnessing the tragedy directly from beneath, The} flight was unheralded and’ constituted a tryout of the new J. I, Standard Cur- tiss bififiine which was to, have been used by Cole and “Hanson in stunts which had been advertised as the head- liners of Fourth of July celebrations at Greybull and Thermopolis. ‘The per- formance of the airplane, it is under- stood, was highly satisfactory in every} way as demonstrated in previous flights) last night and earlier in the week. Nearly 20 minutes were consumed by| the aviators in reaching an altitude of! 4,400 feet, when Hanson removed his parachute from its canvas pouch above the front seat and made it fast to a canvas safety belt before stepping over the side of the machine to make ready for the downward plunge. The safety connection with the parachute was made by means of a metal snap, which! was ned to the belt. Either might have proved too weak to sustain the{ strain when the parachute opened after the leap but it was the belt that gave way, the snap tearing away as the parachute opened. At a signal from Hanson, signifying that he was ready, Cole went through the usual preliminary of turning the plane upside down and the parachute jumper's “goodbye” floated back to Cole as the latter reversed the ma- chine.

(Special to The Tribune) WASHINGTON, July 2.—Western woolgrowers may establish their own local licensed’ warehouses, holl their Clip for a better market, and give local financiers the opportunity of advane- ing money on warehouse receipts in- stead of giving this enormous business to a few big ‘eastern centers, Under the Act of August 11, 1916, as amended July 2, 1919, the Bureau of Markets is authorized to license ware- houses for the storage of wool. Applt- cation forms are obtainable, providing for the name, tocation and capacity of the warehou incorporators, and commodity or com- modities to b> stored. On receipt of. the application the Bureau of Mar- kets sends its inspector to report on the warehouse and the reliability of its in- corporators. Favorable report and the averaged sized warehouses amounting’ to $5,000, will, cause the issuance of a license. Warehouse receipts, on forms specified by the Bureau of Markets, will then be negotiable. Congressman Mondell has just for- warded to Secretary J, B. Wilson of the Wyoming Woolgrowers association most immediately after it opened, sig- nifying fatal consequences, and veer- ed his machine into a sharp dive in an effort to intercept his falling comrade on the one slim chance that he might be able to hang on to the wings of the plane. At the risk of his own life and a double tragedy he shot beneath Han- son as he plunged down and missed him barely 20 feet. ri Had he succeeded in coming close enough for Hanson to grasp the plane the consequences would have been doubtful. The possibility of saving the falling man was slight dn cormpanisen with the hazard of ing the plane and precipitating hoth to their death. Cole effected & landing only a few mo- ments after Hanson stryek the ground, making the long des¢ent in a spiral dive. 5 - The point at which Hanson lost con. sciousness in his fall, was plainly dis- cernible to spectators, it is said, who state that his arms and legs were rigid for a few moments after being torn loose from the parachute, following which they me limp and flopped about as he shot downward. J. Y. Stock, head of the airplane cor- poration, Paul Walker, Robert Squires, Walter Storey, F. E. Palmer and Mr. Lebetter were the only eyewitnesses to the tragedy on the field., Standing near the hangar they saw *the speck which left the parachute develop into the body of a man in his hurtling flight. Lieutenant Cole's effort at a rescue they describe as a daring and praiseworthy performance. Coroner Lew M. Gay was called to the field immediatély and arrived there but a short time after the accident. HANSON EXPERIENCED IN DARING FEAT. ' Hanson was one of the most experi- enced and skillful men in his tine, hav- ing been engaged in aviation work for «continued on Page 6) full information and blanks regardin the organization of these local licensed wool warehouses, and it is expected a number will be established in the var- fous wool states in time to take care of the year's clip and keep the money at home. Recently the Federal Reserve Board, as a result of a conference held here, notified member banks that warehouse receipts on wool could be used in mak- ing advartees on this commodity, if 1s- sued by licensed warehouses, Congrvys- man Mondell, who was active in secur- ing the action above referred to, is planning to assist in the establishment of licensed warehouses in Wyoming. —— OPERATION IS SUCCESSFUL Harry Hopper who recently under-| went a serious operation was able to leave the hospital yesterday. —— mes FOOT CRUSHED UNDER PIANO E.
