around the leg of a man named McMann,
and before he was able to free himself from
the coil, the balloon had carried him up
fully 100 feet. At this giddy height he re-
reased himself and climbed into the basket.
The balloon kept on in its upward course,
and when 1t had reached an eletct tion of 400
feet the involuntary aeronaut jump I'd out.
His death was simultaneous with his reach
ing the earth. The balloon took fire shortly
afterward and was quickly consumed.
