H.YEK BEHEADS OLD
SPANIARD AT BARCELONA
London, Dee. 2.—How a British
airman neatly beheaded a Spaniard
and was excused bj the local mayor
because "lie was an old man, any
way," is told by the London Evening
N'ews on the strength of information
received at the Croydon Air Station.
This pilot was one of many Brit
ish airman who make a specialty of
taking up Spaniard* for joy rides in
and around Madrid and Barcelona.
Occasionally, however, the excite
ment is too much for the Spaniards
and, in their enthusiasm, they
crowd on to the prodrome, running |
toward the spot where they think
the machine will land.
On this occasion the pilot made
three attempts to Alight, but each
time the crowd spread over the
ground, making landing impossible.
Finally, determined to get down
to earth somehow, he flew low over
the crowd, scattering them beneath
him. and managed to find sufficient
space whereon to put down his
plane.
Just as he was landing be felt a
slight bump, and after his machine
had come to a standstill, turned
round to find that the under-car
riage had struck one of the specta
tors, taking off his head with mathe
matical exactitude.
The crowd immediately became
hostile and the pilot ran hard to
the house of the mayor of the dis
trict. Entering breathlessly he told
his story, and was closely followed
by some of the crowd who related
their version of the affair.
After hearing all sides the mayor
turned to the pilot and assured him
that everything would be all right.
"He was an old man." said the
mayor, "and would have died Yery
soon, In any case."
