Narrow Escape For Ottawans
Two Ottawans escaped serious injury after a small airplane, piloted by Lamar Harris with Ross Johnson as passenger, made a forced landing near Wellsville Missouri. Townspeople summoned an ambulance, guided the plane with its red light, and Harris and Johnson, unhurt, crawled from the damaged craft. Harris returned later with a mechanic to patch the plane. The incident began when heavy rain circling Wellsville caused navigation errors and the craft struck a soybean field fencing.
