At 7 o'clock last evening the aeronauts aeron-auts at last got everything in apparent appar-ent perfect order for a grand balloon ascension and parachute jump. There was not a riople ot wind ana the balloon was filled as it has been lm possible to till it here at any time du r-inz r-inz the last few days owing to wind. It stood out erect and without a movement, move-ment, as prettv as a picture. The poles were dropped, Miss Herbert got into the parachute and the order to let her go" was given. The plucky little female aeronaut ran to swin under the balloon, but in some unaccount able mauner the cut off knife had been moved and the rope by which the para chute is attached to tne balloon was cut into bo deep that it would not bear tn-heaw tn-heaw jerk always experienced in lift ing the aeronaut from the ground it succeeded only in lifting her up about six or eight feet and throwing her along the ground some fifteen or twenty feet into a large pile of rocks. The lady fell heavily bruising her bodv very much an 1 breaking the flesh on her arms in several places and severely spraining an ancle. Jmt how theaccidant occurred is not known. Manager McErlaine is of the opinion that some one, thinking to as certain juat why it wa9 that Harris failed to cut the parachute fiee from the balloon, went to examine the cutoff cut-off apparatus, and without realizing what he was doing cut the rope some. Aeronaut Harris says there was such a crowd of people near the balloon running run-ning back and forth and stepping over the parachute as it lay on the ground that it is more than likely some one caught the rope attached at-tached to tbe cutoff knife with his foot and pulled it. The balloon itself, after the jerk which broke the rope, oseillated considerably con-siderably and nearly toppled oVer. It finally got into position and 'ascended to a height of at least 5,01)0 feet and came down on the Bullock farm near Springville. The company of aeronauts are very much discomfited. After battling with the wind, burni.ig the top out of their balloon and haying to put in a new one, ripping it up the side and again tepairing it, and at last getting everything every-thing into perfect shape for a most beautiful ascension to have this accident acci-dent happen them entailing a heavy doctor bill with all of their other expenses ex-penses is enough to make them feel that Frovo is their hoodo. Aeronaut Harris has followed the business for twelve years and he says be never has had such a run of hard luck as he and the company have come up against here. Sprinjrville's Tree Inspector. Sprineville, perhaps more than any other city in the territory, has been ddeplv interested in the late horticultural horticul-tural legislation. As is well known, pending the passage of th9 bill the citizens there bestirred themselves and secured some valuable alterations in the text of the bill. Since its passage Mayor Hall called a citizens' meeting to consider the law and how best to live up to its requirements, whether circbard owners shall unite and employ em-ploy a man to do all the spraying, etc. At the adjourned session of this meet ing it was aetermineu to recommena to the county court for appointment as fruit tree inspector, J. M. Westwood. Tnis recommendation was made to the court. One J. S. Scott being present in court at Its first session, to speak on the subject of spraying, convince Isome membe s by his very lucid talk that he was exceptionally well posted on the duties involved in the office of tree in ppector. W. F. Wiscombe had friends in the court also. Selectman Deal in respect for the meeting of citizens of hia town who nominated him voted for Westwood. Judge Jones voted for Westwood because Westwood is a republican: The first ballot stood: Westwood 2; Scott t; Wiscombe 1. After consultation and further balloting, ballot-ing, Wisombe was chosen as the choice of the court, Judge Jones only dissenting. |
