Montreal to Toronto, came in contact with the limb of a giant elm tree on' the farm of Thomas Bonnetta, Corbett's Point, east of Whitby, yesterday af ternoon at 3.30 o'clock, careened across two fields at a speed of 125 miles an hour and finally went into a nose dive landing in the snow and mud.

The plane was at that time flying at an altitude not greater than one hundred feet and possibly less and the pilot was preparing to land, Neither saw the great clm tree in the mist and darkness. Suddenly there came a loud report. The left wing had caught in the branch of the elm and snapped off like a match stick. Resembling a great, helpless bird the big Fokker careened crazily on, across a field ard a fence, finally crashing nose first into the second field.
