Show Aeronaut Falls Fifty Feet and Is Fa tally Injured. I. OS Angeles. Cal. Professor E. R. Leorifed, an aeronaut at Chutes park, suffered a fracture of the spine Sunday Sun-day as the result of falling fifty feet after he had made a balloon ascension. Leorifed Feached a height of about 5.000 feet, from which he made a para chute jump. Everything was going well until he was within fifty feet of the earth, when his parachute struck a cross arm on a telegraph pole and he was thrown from his seat. He is still alive, but in a critical condition. |
