PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-Jamcs Comes
and j. A. LOOMS went up in balloon
from Central park Sunday and were
thrown out. Comes back was broken
aud LOOMS had his breast caved in and
an arm and leg broken. Comes
had both arms broken and
it is doubtful if either of the
men will live. Both were expe-

guese who has been in the business all
his life and LOOMS made his one hun
dred and sixtieth trip Sunday. The feat
of going up in balloon and dropping
from parachute is so old here that
something new had to be devised. The
men went up in a balloon, hanging on
to trapeze bar, on which they per-
formed in midair. They made the as
cension all right, although the wind
was blowing hard. They drifted
fully mile and alighted in a clump of
trees. AS soon as the balloon struck
the trees the trapeze bar broke and
they were dashed to the ground.
Neither of them is 30 years of age Last
Sunday they attempted a similar feat
and the wind blew them into the lake.
They were taken ont half drowned.
