AN EXCITING
EXPERIENCE
Providence Aeronaut's Narrow
Escape at Aoag Lake Park.
LANDED ON ROOF OF A BARN
Miss Ward, Who Was So Seriously In
Iursd, Is improving, and There Is Hope
Of Her RsccvaT.
LANDED ON ROOF OF A BARN

The third exciting experience within
sort OF the woonsocket Street railway
company. was recorded. yesterday after
noon. The first was to Louis Ward, who
alighted with balloon In a tree top; the
second to his sister. Mabel whose para
chute failed to work and she met with Sc
rious. IL not fatal. Injuries.
And now Andrew Charles Hillman, the
Providence aeronaut, who has been maxi
ing ascensions and leaps there reports
narrow escape from death.
AERoNAUT LANDED ON BARN.
AS the balloon was going up Prof. Hill
man, who was In the parachute seat,
struck against Joist 30 feet high and
used 10 hold guy ropes. This collision
caused the parachute ropes TO twist and
tangle. The balloonist swung around In
the parachute seat but could not un-
tangle the ropes. He was forced TO re-
main with the balloon until the parachute
with the aeronaut In the seat, dropped on
the roof OF James Chilson's barn IL East
Blackstone half mile away. The balloon
and parachute finally landed some dis
tance away In trees. The parachute was
wreck and there were large tears In the
balloon when found.
Prof. Hillman didn't make the Sunday
night ascension, as planned, but went to
Milford. He says he will make another
ascension Monday.
Miss Ward, who was taken to the
Woonsocket hospital Friday, continues to
improve. The danger OF death from the
shocks OF the accident and OF the ampu-
tation of her right leg which followed Is
over. No internal injuries have developed.
the bleeding from the ear has stopped
and the doctors say that unless some-
thing unforeseen happens she will recover
She will be given benefits In Woonsock-
et Milford and Franklin.
MOTHER WAS OPPOSED.
Mrs. David Ward, mother OF Mabel. was
almost heartbroken. Mabel Is the young
est in the family. Mrs. Ward was opposed
to her daughter going into the balloon
business. so Milford people say, and
when she announced her intention OF do
ing so Mrs. Ward objected. II is stated,
and she tried In every way to persuade
her daughter TO keep away from the aero
naut. Mabel Is said to have threatened to
leave her home IL her desire TO make bal
loon ascensions was not gratifed. But she
did not receive the consent OF either her
father or mother, some say.
Before the ascension the girl said that
the story that her parents objected was
not true. She stated that she had her par
ents' consent, and her mother was at
Hoag Lake a week ago Sunday and also
on the ballooning day when Mabel had
planned TO ascend and could not do SO
because the old balloon burst.
