A THRILLING INCIDENT.
A Child Carried Away by q Bunch OF Toy

A Child Carried Away by a Bunch of Toy
Baloons-A Marvellous Rescue.
Chicago special of August Is: Little
two-year-o old Sophie Schwab involuntarily
became balloonist to-day and was waited
high I'D over the broad bosom OF Lake
Michigan. A ri1eman's skill saved the
child's life. The exciting incident took
place at Sheffield park, and was witnessed
by Ii, 900 people. :.
An Italian peddler Of toy balloons tried
to serve two purchasers, and in doing 30 let
20 of his string of light-colored globes. The
cord got twisted about sophie's left arm
and also her hand. and the buoyant
bubbles started heavenward, taking the
youthful aeronaut along. The chlld's
mother skrieked aud tainted. Bystanders
stood horror-strickeD, scarcely breathing.
As the balloon swept close to an OAK
tree the infant grasped a handful OF tWlgs
and checked her fight. A muscular young
German was soon ascending the tree and
then crept out on the branches nearest tne
child.
At this moment Sophie's puny strength
gave out and the balloon, suddenly re-
leased, went again up"dru a''osHeo C
| and feet, drifting then out over the LAKE.
Gustavus Kerch, q sharpshooter, who
was attending the picnic with his repeating
rife, jumped into skiff with two compan'
| ions and pulled out into range. =,
| Kerch succeeded in piercing several OF the
balloons with balls from his rifle, eact
successful shot helping the bunch to des
| cend.
Before it reached the water the boat wal
at the spot and little Sophie did not ever
get her feet wet.
