Fell Three Thousand Feet in Parachute
ard Drowned in the Tennessee.
Chattanooga, Tenn, June 15 Mrs.
Edith Bruno, an aeronaut met terrible
death by drowning in the Tenr essee river.
The basket upon which she relied upon as
a buffer and buoy against the water over
turned and, like n milestone around her
neck, dragged her under. Her feet be-
came entangled in the ropes and she was
unable to extricate herself. Henry Bell,
n fisherman, put out from shore and re-
covered the body, which showed feeble
signs of life, but death soon ensued.
The tragedy happened at Riverside
Park, five miles north of this city. Mrs.
Bruno was skillful aeronaut and aero
bat, and n large crowd went out to wit
ness the ascension. When 5000 feet in
the air the parachute was set adrift and
began to fall rapidly. Tossed and beat
about by cross winds, it finally was seen
to be drifting far out over the stream and
then struck the water. A boat at once
went to her rescue. In seeking to get
her feet from the parachute to enable her
to swim out the aeronaut capsized the
craft.
