george klloh sergt e v mcguire of toronto and segt j c hammond of montreal were the two fliers who met death in the plane which crashed in uxbridge township last week north of claremont and of which a full re port was made in this paper at that time the two men out from tin fly ing school at oshawa were making an authorized flight when the plane came down on tho enorton property killing the two men exact cause of the crash will never be known but it is estimated that in attempting to cross the road at a very low altitude the carriage of the small plane struck the stump fence and caused it to nose into the side of the road with such fatal results both fliers were thoroughly ex perienced men they were between 30 and- 35 years of age the body of edward mcguire was sent to flint michigan at the re quest of his mother who has been living at 265 indian road toronto where she movdtl to be near her son the remains of the other flying in structor john hammond were sent to his parents in montreal both men were unmarried a court of inquiry is being held to determine the cause of the crash the two instructors only recently assigned to the school wore off duty at the time of the fatal accident but the flight was authorized according to fltlieut foss t mcguire was in the front cock pit and he was in charge of the plane but we have no way of knowing who was at the controls at the time of the crash the officer announced clarence jones a farmer plough ing with a tractor in a field about 40 rods from the scene of the accident was the first onento arrive at tho wreckhe said one of the flyers was alive when he dragged him from the plane but died while he was extricat ing the other instructor already dead jones said tho plane passed low overhead and then banked and ap peared to be making a forced land ing if they had missed the fence they would have crashed into a bush on the opposite side of tho road jones stated chief constable john norton of claremont said the plane tore
