Malvern Celebration Highlights and Flight Attempt
Large crowd attended the Malvern celebration last Friday with a buoyant mood and a few discouraging moments. An aviation attempt failed due to brisk winds, causing the machine and pilot to crash to the ground with minor injuries and a broken craft. The event featured speeches, a motor cycle race described as a dandy, and a ball game ending 13 to something in Malvern's favor. Earlier, lightning struck two horses near Hillsdale, killing them, while four others were shocked but unharmed, a costly loss for the farm owner George Leidecker.
