Man Dangled 5000 Feet in the Air
and Came Down Safe in . Treetop.
Milford, Mass, July 3.-Louis Ward
Of this town was holding one OF the guy
ropes of Prof. Hellman's hot air bal
loon at Hoag Park yesterday when the
balloon was released. He became en-
tangled in the rope and was jerked into
the air head downward. He remained
in that attitude only minute or two.
Prof. Hellman, leaning over the edge OF
the basket. gave him directions how to
act, and he put himself In an upright
position.
The balloon went up 5000 feet and
Hellman, after telling Ward to keep
cool and hang on, dropped In his para
chute and made a safe descent.
The balloon slowly collapsed and be-
gan to settle. 1t brought up on top OF
a tree. and Ward, none the worse Tor
his fight, reached the ground mile
from where he started. A crowd OF 5000
persons at the park saw him carried UP.

HELD FOR ARSON.
Charged That Prof. Hayes Burn
ed q Henderson Hotel.

Henderson. KY. July s.-Prof. W. A.
Hayes. a highly respected citizen and
principal of the Henderson high school,
has been arrested on q warrant sworn
out by F. Haas. proprietor OF Hotel
Henderson. charging him with at
tempting to burn the hotel June 20, be-
tween 3 o'clock and daylight
The would-be tncendiary used bisul-
phide of carbon and phosphorus, coal
oil and cotton. The chemicals. mixed
as they were. would cause spontaneous
combustion in few moments. The at
tempt failed, and the bottle, with the
label still on 1t. was left In the room.
The bottle had been purchased in q
drug store in Evansville. Detectives
secured a description OF the person who
bought it, which description SO well
suited Prof. Hayes that suspicion point
ed to him
Today a boy clerk came here from
Evansville and identified Prof. Hayes
as the man who purchased the cheni-
calls On the boys Identification Mr..
Haag swore out the warrant, which
was served on Prof. Hayes at the Bon
adventure hotel. with which hostelry Mr..
lately placed under guard and allowed
to remain at the hotel until Messrs.
Meek & Alberts, proprietors of the
Evansville drug store, could come here
and identify him.
Prof. Hayes was apparently astound-
ed when confronted with this most SER
ious charge, and says he can prove his
innocence without trouble. The episode
Is the all absorbing topic here, and it Is
the opinion Of many that serious mis-
take has been made. as Mr.. Hayes is
known here as a perfectly honorable
gentleman. About one year ago he was
elected principal of the high school, and
has always conducted himself as a gen.
tleman. He cane here highly recon-
mended from a point In Mississippi. He
was recently reelected as principal OF
the school
