...state that the accident took place at approximately 3:05 p. m. on the afternoon of Jan. 10, 1938 and that the Bureau of Air Commerce inspector, Mr. A. D. Niemeyer, sent a telegram to Northwest Airlines at 3:59 p. m. on Jan. 11, 1938 from Bozeman, Mont., grounding such planes until further notice. That evening, a confirmation order was sent to the airline company from the Washington office, confirming the action of Inspector Niemeyer...
When Bureau of Air Commerce experts convened to investigate Northwest Airlines' crash in which ten were killed near Bozeman, Mont, last month, they may well have had misgivings. For the apparent cause of the accident was major structural failure, a great rarity on airliners. And to the acute discomfiture of the investigating board, their own Bureau of Air Commerce had "rigidly tested" and approved the ship (a new Lockheed 14H which had flown only 190 hours) shortly before the crash...
Just north of Bozeman, Mont, rears the 9,106-ft. bulk of Bridger Peak, near which years ago was started the Flaming Arrow Dude Ranch.

The weather on the spot was blowy but no tempest. The plane had the best of equipment, even a unique loop antenna made static-proof by enclosure in the ship's transparent plexiglass nose. Lockheed 143's can maintain their height on one engine and it seemed incredible that both could have cut out simultaneously. Said...
...victory. Thereupon the onetime carpenter from Sedalia, Mo., proceeded to lose to de Oro 50-10-46. For a time during the 66-game competition it looked as if the lead might pass to Willie Hoppe, who is not really old (46), or to young Jay Bozeman, married for the second time just before the tournament and sporting a slave bracelet on his left wrist. But by last week all but two of the twelve contestants had played eleven matches and lost three or more. Those two were Cochran and Layton, each with eight wins out of ten. Their match...
