ROCHESTER, Oct 7 (1913) — Miss Ruth Hildreth, of New York City, was killed, and her sister, Dorothy H., was perhaps fatally injured this afternoon in Hammondsport when Lincoln Beachey lost control of a 100-horsepower aeroplane and it swept a number of spectators off a platform from which they were watching the exhibition. Among those slightly hurt were Lieutenants Richardson and Bellinger, of the United States Navy aviation corps, and Beachey.
