dorf, some of the best and most aristo-
cratic people lived in apartments over
the shops, and my friends apartments
were SO situated. My room was in the
third story, and the French window,
which / had opened, led out upon Hat
roof, which was inclosed on three
sides by brick walls, and the fourth fide
of which faced upon street. 1 had
noticed this roof and this area when
was in my chamber before tea. They
seemed different to me now. There was
something there which l had not seen
then. The area now was almost Illed
with something vast and globular and
vague and vascillating. l stepped out
upon the roof and advanced toward :his
monster which, as l approached, took

that / had found the runaway balloon.

surprised. 1t was the most natural
thing in the world. The roof was
guarded on the street side by an iron
fence or railing curiously wrought with
leaves and spikes, and the balloon drift

work, so that the aerial ship was safely
housed and concealed between these

Two Boys and Gun Develop a Tragedy
in the Seventh Ward.
An unfortunate tragedy occurred
late Saturday afternoon near the
corner of Plum and Florida streets,
Seventh ward, in which Willie
Heck, aged IL years, was accident
ally shot and killed by his young
friend, Otto Leichtmann.
The boys had made it up to go
bird shooting with a 22.calibre tar
get rifle and Otto carried the gun.
AS they reached an open space in
the neighborhood of Heck's house,
Otto saw bird and raised the gun
to shoot.
The ground was wet and the boy
slipped and fell as he fired, the bull
let striking young Heck in the fore
head over the left eye. He fell and
Otto ran to him and noted the in
jury caused, and then ran to his
home and told what had happened.
AhO "OuhNou pOy was carried 10
his home and physician was sum-
moned, but could not save the
lads life, as the bullet had entered
the brain and he died within two
hours.
Mounted Officer Robb learned OF
the shooting and reported it to po.
lice headquarters and summoned a
coroner, and an inquest was begun
which will be concluded today.
The funeral of the deceased bow
was held yesterday afternoon and
was largely attended, a great many
young people being in the car

Young Leichtmann is almost
heartbroken over the sad occur.

THE BRONCHOs IN THE GAME.
They Defeat the Indians in Two Games
Before a Large Crowd.

Il
Before Large Crowd.
Old Sol and Jupiter Pluvius are
having it out and the baseball
rooters are on the anxious seat.
Their decision is final. If Sol
shows his smiling countenance the
Bronchos play ball, but if Jupe
Pluve objects, that settles it.
Can the Bronchos play ball?
Ask any Of the one thousand that
filled San Pedro park yesterday.
Ask them how Patsy Dryer pitch

one that wouldn't bet that the
BrOnchos can play ball wouldn't

The boys are in the game from
the jump. There is not a cripple
on the team, and barring accidents
the Bronchos will be safely in first
place before they 60 on the trip.
They are all hitting we'll and their
fielding is as good as any in the
league.
The recent changes seem to be
for the best. New life has been
infused into the game. The play
ers are taking more interest in
their playing and the crowds are
larger. Had yesterday been nice
day, there would have at least
been 1000 people at the game. The
rain in the afternoon discouraged a
great many, who did not go out.
The score OF the first game, which
was called at 8 p. m, was tele.
phoned by innings to the down.
town bulletin. board, and in the
fifth inning, with the score o. for
San Antonio, people began to crowd
the cars for San Pedro park, and
the attendance continued increas-
ing until 5 o'clock, when there
were fully 1000 people on the
grounds.
President Weiss, of the street
railway, is pleased with the pros
poets, and will have the seating
capacity Of the park enlarged for
next Sunday. He is confident thai
San Antonio now has a good ball
team, and believes the people will

Arrangements will be made to
have the scores OF the local games
telephoned by innings to town
drugstores and soda water stands,
where blackboards will be placed
for that purpose. This will tend
to increase interest in tho game.
