MONOPLANIST KILLED.
FALLS FROM A HEIGHT OF 140 FT. By Telefrapn. — Pres* Association.— Copyright. LONDON, 3rd April. M. Lo Blou was killed while monoplaning at the Spanish port of San bebastian. He fell from a height of 140 ft. Owing to a defective motor, his monoplane- suddenly lurched, and fell with frightful velocity. M. Le Blou struck some rocks in shallow water. He was terribly mangled, and expired on the quay. It is believed that the monoplane is the very Bleriot machine which caused M. Delagrange's death. Madame Le Blou was a witness of her husband's death. During a similar flight on Tuesday M. Le Blou's motor stopped, and he was rescued from the sea. [M_. Delagrange was killed while aeroplajiing at Bordeaux, France, in January" last. He was using a monoplane of the same type as that which crossed the Channel, and with which he had obtained a speed of 54 miles an hour at Donca6ter on the 27th October, 1909.]
