Robert Copnoy. ticnd of the Mid
kmI Aerial Navlnntlon company of
Lincoln, who visited Alliance last
week with his aeroplane, accompa
nied by Clarence Schafer of Alliance,
' made the first irlp across the Ne
braska sandhills with an aeroplane
.on last Wednesday and Thursday.
SAt. Copsey, with Clarence Schafer
ju passenger, left Alliance at three
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
iBept ember 17. They followed the
Jtne of the Burlington railroad
through the sandhills and were
watched at each town by hundreds
ff eager spectators who had been
advised by the railroad operators of
f heir coming.
The first stop was made at Halsey
Ht 5 o'clock for gasoline. The peo
ple there, many of whom had never
een a plane before, were so excited
over the visit that they had to thor
oughly inspect the plane before any
one would take time to furnish the
fs.
The weather at Broken Bow was
cloudy and the town was reached
fter dusk. It had not been their
intention to stop at the city, but to
go on and stop over night with a
brother of Mr. Copsey, who has a
ranch eighteen miles east. But after
leaving Broken Bow the aviators lost
the railroad, which served as their
guide, and were compelled to return
to Broken Bow. They had no lights
on their plane and as they circled
- fPUDd over the city, looking for a
" landing place, they could notice the
xcltement caused by the noise of
hetr motor.
The people of the city evidently
realized the predicament of the avia
tors, for dozens of autos hurried out
to a nearby field and surrounded It,
with lights shining brightly over the
field, showing them a landing place.
But Copsey, who formerly lived at
Broken Bow, had thought of a near
y alfalfa field and circled low over
It, wondering how many stacks the
plane would strike when It came to
earth. They circled the field several
time at a height of about 150 feet
and finally made an excellent and
incky landing, without barm to
themselves or the machine. The
next morning, when they came back
to get the machine, they counted
twenty-one hay stacks, a stacker and
a sveep In the small alfalfa field.
J.uck was with them when they
pnderi.
After landing, the hoys walked to
tow a and found that seen par Its
