Parachute Jumper Love Tnmbies
Half a Mile but VIII Live.

Parachute Jumper Love Tumbies
Half a Mile but viii Live.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July 24.-Wil'
liam Love, who has been making
parachute jumps at Fairyiew Park,
here, for six weeks past, met with an
accident today, which, though it may
not kill him. will come pretty neal
doing so.
Love shot up into the air. his bal
loon being hotter than usual and
when il was half a mile from the
earth he tried to shake the parachute
loose.
The ropes were tangled, however
and it wouldn't work right. BY VIC
lent exertions Love managed to shake
it free from the balloon, but the sud,
den shock from the jerking broke the
cords of the parachute and it turned
inside out like an umbrella in wind
storm.
The aeronaut did not lose his pres.
ence of mind. however,. but kicked
and struggled until he succeeded IN
getting part of it to fill and hold, and
in thisway he descended to about 4OO
feet from the ground, when il
collapsed altogether, and he shot to
the earth like a stone.
lie fell in corn field nearly mile
from where he assembled. He was
unconscious when picked up, but
soon revived, and. though severely
injured. may recover.
