and telling of it to others brings
about queer situations.
The details of the crash as far as
were obtained, were received by the
Nome Daily Nugget before 9 A.M.
today from the Associated Press and
their veracity and authenticity will
satisfy he most exacting, as to what
has taken place.
Plans were afoot in Nome to en
tertain the distinghished visitors
when they arrived at Nome. The
Lomen Reindeer Cirpiration, sub
sidiary of the Lomen Commercial
Co, was arranging to make it pos
sible for Wiley Post and Will Rog
ers to visit the marking and butcher
ing from a herd of approximately j
18,000 reindeer at Golovin.
Rogers said a few days ago in
Juneau, that he wanted to lassoo
reindeer at Nome, and the opportun
ity was to be given him. Other
plans had not been entirely worked
out yet.
Conjecture Nome
W as High, Cause j
Traffic Accident
& i
The following conjectural infor- j
mation was written before the act
ual facts of the crack-up were receiv
ed and was in sympathy with opin
ions of local aviation men as to the
probable cause of what might have
happened.
What caused the death of these
two world-famous men ? Nobody
knows that to a moral certainty, but
conjecture places the blame on the
foggy weather conditions in the Bar
row section.
How Sergeant Morgan learned of
the crash is also an unknown factor,
but it is supposed that in the foggy
weather the Post plane might have
flown over Barrow try to find a
place to land and then started away
again, later cracking up fifteen miles
south of the village.
Eskimos are all over that section
of the country at this time of the
year and they might have seen or
heard the plane crack-up and let
the Sergeant at Barrow know about
it.
