San FRANCISCO, October 5.-Aboui half.
past three o'clock this afternoon, Prof.
Colgroye, Gronaut, and G. II. Williams,
manager OF woodward's garden, attempt
ed to make balloon ascension from the
garden. The wind was blowing a golo and
the balloon seemed 10 be insufticiehtIy in
flated with gas, and rose heavily above
the buildings Of the garden and soon after
dragged and scudded along a low eleva-
ton, tearing away telegraph wires in It's
flight In a moment the bag ripped, and
the gas escaped vito roar that was heard
for several blocks. Both occupants Of the
basket were thrown out, falling on Falson
street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth,
while the balloon came down few rods
beyond.
A great crowd from the gardens and
Vicinity instantly collected, and medical
aid was summoned. Williams was fear.
fully crushed about the face and head,
and died in q few moments. Colgrnye's
face was somewhat bruised, but his in-
jures seemed most internal, and, although
alive at last accounts, he was in.ensi-
BILE and not likely TO survive.
The disaster has created considerable
sensation, and many who frequent the
gardens assert that the balloon was badly
patched and unsafe at best, and express
surprise at Williams risking the nscel sion,
In such boisterous weather.
Prof. Colgroye has since died from his
injuries. Prof. Martin, aeronaut, and
Others who were present at the ascension,
begged Williams not to go up, saying that
10 the half gale that was blowing hr was
literally taking his life in his hand. The
men fell about two hundred feet, the bal.
loon rebounding after striking the tele-
graph wires, then striking chimney and
again Iebounding at which moment the
aeronauts were thrown out.

A long time after this brave de-
tense, farmer living near the fort,
started one morning to NOW. As
was usual in those days, he carried
his musket with him. He had "a
special reason for being on his
guard, for a certain Indian had be-
come his personal enemy.
Ga arriving at the hay field, he
leaned his gun against tree, threw
off his coat, sharpened his scythe and
began moving. As. swinging his
scythe he drew near the lower end
OF the field, he saw an Indian crouch.
ing behind row of bushes. The
farmer was cool man, and swung
his scythe as if he had seen nothing.
Looking again. he saw that the
Indian was his enemy. In one hand
he held a tomahawk, while a. scalp
ing knife was stuck ia his belt. The
farmer knew that if he attempted 10
run for his gun the swift footed In
dian would be upon him before he
had gone 100 feet. Self possession
was his protection.
He moved up to the bushes, and
then turned, swinging his scythe as
IL anxious to reach the end OF his
swath.
Waiting until the mower had de-
parted two or three rods from the
bushes, the Indian moved noislessly
through the bushes and crept after
the farmer.
But with every swing OF the scythe,
the farmer. glancing cautiously over
his left shoulder. had taken in the
position OF his cat like enemy.
Nearer crept the stealthy savage.
One step more, and he would be up
on the mower. Raising his toma-
hawk, he braced himself for the
spring, and-fel on the ground,
dead.
The farmer. with all his strength,
had swung his scyth IS with its point
inclined up. completely around. 1t
wounded the Indian 50 that he fell
dead.-Pncifc Methodist.
