LESTER J. JINDRA Local Boy Aviator Meets Death Lester Jindra, 21, This City, Meets Death at Columbus, O. Sunday Back Broken as Youth Is Struck by Propeller of Plane on Aviation Field In That City Lester Jindra, 21, Manitowoc boy attached to the U.S. Regular Army aviation corps and stationed at Columbus, Ohio, died at a hospital in that city Sunday from injuries he sustained late Saturday night when he was struck by the propellor of a plane of which he was pilot. Jindra's back was broken and his face and body terribly cut by the blades of the propellor and he survived his injuries but a few hours. The body will be shipped to this city some time the present week and the burial will take place at Mishicot where the Jindra family formerly resided. Mother Near Death from Shock Messages telling of the accident and later death of the young aviator were received by the parents of Jindra, Mr. and Mrs. John Jindra, 836 North Sixth street, Sunday morning and evening and the shock of the tragedy has caused Mrs. Jindra; mother of the boy to completely collapse and grave apprehension is today felt ever her condition. Mrs. Jindra is under constant care of a physician, and it was said that she is seriously ill. First news of the tragedy came in a telephone message from Green Bay at 5:30 Sunday morning, relaying a message received over the Postal Telegraph company lines at Green Bay for Mr. Jindra, the company having no office here. The message told of the injury of the boy aviator and said that he had been removed to a hospital. Mr. Jindra immediately got into communication with Columbus to learn details of the accident and was advised that his son had suffered a fracture of the back, and was badly cut by the propellor and that no hope was entertained that he could survive. Later in the day Mr. Jindra again telephoned to be told that his son had passed away at 1:30 and three hours later an official dispatch was received conveying the same information. The accident happened at midnight Saturday night. Had Promising Career Sunday's tragedy at Columbus brought to a close a career as an aviator that promised much for the Manitowoc boy. But twenty-one years of age, he had made rapid advancement since entering the service and within the year would have completed his work and have become a recognized pilot of the air service of the array. He was an enthusiastic student and in love with his work and had a vast fund of experience in his training. On occasion of a visit here, in January Jindra exhibited a display of photographs at the library which he had taken in his work as an attache of the photo department in the service. Twice during his training at the aviation field at Dayton and Columbus the Manitowoc boy had narrowly escaped death, a few months ago having been in a plane, with a companion when the machine in descending narrowly escaped a head on collision with a clump of trees which, had it occurred, would have meant instant death to the crew. A week ago Jindra was one of the detail which picked up the body of Capt. Dick Skeel, killed when his plane fell at the Dayton field during the air maneuvers and races. Two weeks previously Jindra wrote his parents that he had assisted in digging Lieut. Peirson, of the aviation corp, from the wreck of his plane after an accident in which Pierson was instantly killed. Jindra had commented upon these incidents as part of life on the aviation field and entertained no fear that he might fall victim to some such tragedy. Was born Here Lester Jindra was born in this city April 5, 1903 and spent much of his life in this city. He attended the local schools but later entered the Mishicot high school from which he graduated. He continued his studies at the county normal and graduated with honors. He enlisted with the local militia company but resigned in order to enter the regular army service and study aviation and for a time stationed at Chanute Field, Illinois, and later transferred to Dayton and Columbus. It is presumed that the plane had made the trip from Dayton to Columbus and that it was while making ready to return that the accident which cost the life of Jindra occurred. Mr. Jindra, a year ago, was detailed with another flier to make a transcontinental flight but was recalled before the trip was started. However, Jindra was a member of a party which made a flight to Texas. Was Ending Training. Within six months Jindra would have ended his training and received his official appointment. He had planned to come here early in the spring for a two months visit when his furlough leave was effective. Besides his parents the unfortunate youth is survived by two brothers, Arnold Jindra, residing on So. Sixteenth street, this city, and a younger brother John at home. No information as to shipment of the body had been received late today.
