A TERRIBLE FATE

| st. Clair, the aeronout who took fatal
tumble from balloon in Texas. Is said 10
have been former resident of Wichita
1t was there, no doubt, he first imbibed his
airy notions.-Emporia Republican.
His aeronaut name was ST Clair, his
real name White. His home was in this
city. where he was practically raised and
| where his mother, brother and sister have
lived since II Not knowing who he re-
ally was, and in reply TO letter written
| by Us to his manager, who referred to the
| bright prospects of a Wichita boy as an
aeronaut, we wrote a local notice in which
we said that 1t was only question of
time when his body would be picked up
from the earth shapeless, unrecognizab BILE
mass. Unwittingly we thus caused his
mother great pain. She is away from the
city now and may not even yet know
the sad fate which caught her boy in
that terrible death as reported by
the Houston, Texas, dispatches. He had
been unfortunate in several attempts, re-
ceiving serious injury, but he was appar-
emily without any fears. The terrible
end Sunday night closed his career Ii is
reported that he had only recently got up
from bed where he had been confined by
the Injuries resulting from an accident
He made an ascent of 500 feet Sunday
night, however, and in coming down the
fall was so rapid and the sudden opening
of the parachute so powerful that his grasp
failed and he fell to the ground before the
gaze Of thousands who had assembled TO
see his performance. When picked up he
was gasping for the last time. The Capt.
tai says that he had a good many friends
IN Topeka So had he in Wichita, where
he is known TO his many schoolmates. The
following is the account of the tragedy as
reported by a Houston local paper:
-Four thousand people assembled yes
terday IN the fair grounds to witness the
ascension of the aeronaut, W. +. st. Claire
N his balloon, and his descent in para
chute. There was some trouble expert
enced in initiating the balloon which was
hot air one. About o'clock it was cut
its moorings and started on its journey
toward the sky. About 100 feet from the
ground st. Claire took off his hat and
Jauntlly waved adieu to the crowd below,
cheerIIy calling out good bye" When he
had reached distance of 800 feet he cut
the parachute loose and took his descent
lie fell fifty feet before it opened, and when
1t did so the shock and sudden resistance
was so great as TO break his hold upon the
rings. and with GREATNESS suspense the
crowd saw his body fail like a rocket to
the earth. His body fell 400 yards from
where he started up He was found
mangled mass. He gasped once or twice
and ali was over. In his descent he mar
rowly escaped lighting upon paling
fence. st. Claire has for the last two
years been giving these exhibitions
throuhout Texas, and few weeks ago he
got severe fall from his parachute in
Galveston, which laid him up for two
weeks. Ladies sitting on Mr.. Settegast's
porch heard him mutter to himself in his
rapid descent, Nearer the end, nearer the

Fairly MORNING RI.zF

Yesterday morning telephone message
was received by the fire department that a
house on South Mead was on ire. They
answered the call promptly and found the
LARGE house Of Mrs. VIM. Quipnell, at
No. 1855 South Mead burning rapidly.
There were no plugs nearer than $50 feet.
and so they could do little else than stand
and see the building burn 10 the ground.
Mrs. Quinnell, whose husband il will be
remembered died but short time ago.
was II tho house when the flames were
hrSt discovered and narrowly escaped with
only a lew valuable papers. She has no
idea how the fire originated. There are
some OF the neighbors who were yesterday
inclined to the belief that the fire
was OF incendisry origin, prompt
ed through a feeling of revenge by
an enemy Of Mrs. QainneI. But as vet
nothing has developed to show that such
Is the fact.
The house was very finely furnished

house and furniture is 5000, which will

A QUEER TRANSACTION.

Mr.. B. j. Morningstar arrived home
from Oklahoma yesterday. where he had
been to see what prospects there were in
the new territory to place some insurance.
When he boarded the 1907 train yesterday
morning, and wheE near the center of the
coach he found himself crowded from be-
fore and behind in number of suspicious
characters. Diving ct once the movement
of the men who were showing and jaming
him he run his hands into his pocket and
held on to his purse, which contained q
considerable sum of money while with the
other hand be held to his grip. The
crush relieved, United States Marshal
Tom Nets stepped up to him and asked
him to feel for his losses. Mr.. NJ. replied
that he hadn't been robbed he guessed.
when the marshal handed him a pocket
book containing draft and some valuable
papers which had been distracted from
the side pocket of his coat. The marshal
then asked him to point out the men but
they had made good their escape. Fifty
people, at least, witnessed the work of the
thugs. However, after the train started
Mr.. ". recognized three of the thieves
and called the attention of
deputy marshal and the conductor
to them who refused TO make an asrest, or
even to put them off the train. The
scoundrels remained on the train till they
reached the third station north of Guthrie
where they took the down train The
deputy said he couldn't arrest unless Mr.
NJ. would swear which one of the three
had taken his pocketbook. OF course that
was an impossibility. 1t seems TO us that
the Santa Fe should so far protect their
patrons as 10 bounce, without ceremony.

of the matter by Mr.. VI.
