81 saw a balloon ascension and para
chute drop down in Texas not so long
ago" said Ed Reeder, a well known ball
player now with one of the Southwest
ern league clubs, that was very inter
esting. The balloonist Leroy made an
aerial trip from a small town near Aus
tin one day and was to make parachute
leap. When at an altitude of about
1000 feet he suddenly recollected that
his parachute was brand new one and
had never been tested. Not caring to
risk the thing he attached fifty pound
sack of sand (ballast) 10 the parachute
and cut il loose. AS he feared, the thing
failed 10 work right and did not open at
all.
THE sand and parachute dropped like
streak TO the earth, gaining momentum
with every foot Of their descent until
they struck the wooden roof of house
below, crashing through il like through
so much paper The balloon scared aloft,
and in due time, as the hot air gradually
escaped, sank slowly 10 earth in the
midst of farm several miles from the
town. The farm hands had observed its
coming, and when il alighted seized
upon the airship, which was valuable
oiled silk affair, and claimed il as the
property Of the owner Of the land be
cause 1t had landed there. The rights
of Professor Leroy, who happened to
have landed right with his property,
were entirely ignored. But the captors
were obdurate and finally the professor
departed.
"He obtained a writ of replevin for his
balloon from the nearest squire, and a
constable shortly after restored the cap
tured airship to its rightful owner. The
hole in the roof of the building caused
10y the professors sandbag and the dam
age consequent thereto had TO be re-
paired and settled for at his expense.
Had he taken the place of his sandbag
at the parachute's handle the funeral
expenses would have far exceeded the
damage to the roof. Cincinnati Times
