The dead were identified as: Le Roy Thompson, 28, formerly of Waterbury, Conn.,, New York manager of the Colonial Air Trans- port, Ine,, pilot, Miss Elizabeth McGowen, 23, a school teacher of Hackensack, N. J. Wesley Hubbell, 23. of Hacken- sack, an employe of the Bell Tele. phene Company of New Jersey. Geor-e Haubner, 20, of Hacken- snes, clerk for the Bell Telephone Company of New Jersey. The four took off shortly before the crash from Harley Air Port, about a mile distant, bound for Teterboro. They formed a laughing talka- tive party. Miss McGowen, al- though supposedly not engaged to ihe young air pilot, was known to ner friends to he secretly engaged All were friends. An explosion in mid-air started them hurtling and helpless to their deaths, according to Nrs. Bella Halper, a farmer's wife. The plane was a Wright Motored Fairchild Monoplane, only a week old and capable of de luxe transpor- t~tion for four passengers and a pilot. Went for Outing Thompson and his friends eclam- bored into it at Hadley Airport for a Sunday afternoon outing, with no more ceremony than they would em- ploy for an automobile ride. The graceful monoplane took off with a rush apd climbed rapidly, heau.us for Teterboro. Among those who glanced idly at the sky when they heard the drone of the motor were Chas. Drake, of New Market, New Jersey, and George Holley, of Plainfield, a state game warden. They saw the fall. There was an explosion. "It was up between 800 and 1.- 000 feet" said Drake. "First it ways. Then it went into a wun spin, dropping just like a leaf, Then it seemed to drop straight down, pose first, straight as a skyrocket stick." In the farm house, Mrs. Halper heard the explosion. She and her husband ran out. The Pig mono- plane had buried its nose in their cornfield. Its engine was complete- ly underground, and the fuselage was crushed and erumpled until it looked as if the passenger cabin bad alse dug into the earth. "We ran to it," said Mrs. Halper. "We never heard a sound after it hit."

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1927 COUNGIL IS AFTER BALANCE OF POWER Six Are Nominated to Fill Three Seats at Kingston Kingston, Nov. 1.--Deseronto has had quite a municipal tangle. Last night, at a nomination meeting held in the Town Hall. and but poorly attended, six men were nominated to till three vacancies in the Council, caused by the resignation of mem- bers over difficulties in municipal matters, Latterly there have been five members of Council, with Mayor Leo Therrier holding the balance of power, It is allezed that when the Mayor did not agree with a pro- opsal brought forward, he would quit the meeting, leaving no quorum, Councillors are determined to bring the Council up to strength, Deseronto's troubles started during the summer over the sale of a piece of property on the Provincial high- way, Next, difficulty amse over sale of lumber from the old Rathhun fae- tory, which had passed out of the hands of the Rathbun estate, but which subsequently was seized by the town for taxes. A little later it was decided to ad- vertise the position of Chief of Po- lice vacant, The man who is at pres- ent Chief, and who has filled that position with only occasional breaks for the past 15 years, is Alex. Wil- kins, It is said that the reason Chief Wilkins was to be replalced was tha he is unable to act in the dual role of Police Chief and Tax Collector. It was felt by some that-ane man could undertake hoth of these jobs, as well as attend to such minor matters as the waterworks, On this matter, however, there was 'disagreement SON ASKS FATHREW'S WILL MAY BE SET ASIDE Guelph, Nov, i, .-Considerable in- terest is heing evidenced locally in a case which is in - progress before Judee Spotton in Surrogate Court today, in which James Hagan of Guelnh is endeavoring to set aside the will of his father, the late James Hagan.
