AERONAUTS FALL TO DEATH
Senior Severe and His Assistant Killed by
Explosion of Airship,
LATTER'S BODY DESTROYED BY FIRE
Fatal Accident Occurs with Balloon
Fifteen Hundre Feet in Air and
Severo IL Dashed to
Pieces.

PARIS, May 12.-The death Of senior
Severe, the Brazilian aeronaut, who, with
an assistant, was killed this morning by
the explosion of his airship, La Paix, in
which he was making a trial trip, created
terrible CONSERVATION.
Senior Severe had invited a number OF
friends to witness the ascension and his
wife and a number of relatives we're fol-
lowing the course Of the balloon in motor
carriages. Suddenly the spectators were
Mortified by a bright fash Of light, fol-
lowed by a loud explosion. The balloon,
which at this time was 1900 feet above
the ground, fell rapidly, landing on the
roof of a house.
The aeronaut fell into the Avenue du
Marine and was dashed 10 pieces. The
bones OF his legs were forced through the
soles of his boots and the man who ac-
companied him was burned to death. The
accident was said to have been caused by
a leakage OF gas.
Senior Severe started with the intention
Of sailing to the military parade ground
at Issy. and a large number OF his rela-
tives and friends were preceding him in the
direction of that village, situated Ave
miles southwest Of Paris. With an en-
gineer named sachet, Severe sailed out OF
MS DdllOOn mouse near the bOuleNdTu DE
Vanguard at $50 a. m, in excellent spirits
and full of confidence. The aeronaut put
his airship through a series Of evolutions
before starting in the direction OF Issy.
Hitch I'm Steering Gear.
There seemed to be some hitch with the
steering gear and the rear propelling screw
turned with difficulty. Nevertheless, after
several stoppages, the airship sailed of
moving steadily enough through a light
breeze. Suddenly a puff Of win caught
the ship and whirled II over the avenue
du Marine. The ship turned completely
round and veered about In a fashion show
ing control of 1t had been lost. Then
from the center Of the outer envelope, a
tongue of flame darted out. This was fol-
lowed by a loud report resembling a can
non shot and the ship sank like a stone
falling on the roof OF a house, thence into
some trees and finally reaching the Avenue
du Marne, almost on top OF its occupants
who had previously been precipitated tC
the stone pavement.
The fesrfully mangled corpses OF Sever,
and sachet were conveyed to a ~neighborins
police station. The bodies presented 4
horrible spectacle. especially that o.
sachet. The flame which caused the ex,
plosion burned the engineer In q mos
shocking manner, Practically not a bont
Of either victim was left untractured anC
both skulls were terribly crushed.

Ole c. Finstad and wife two months
ago. The Finstads assert that it did,
and that, as Mrs. William Lewis house
was overrun with rats, they were in
duced TO loan the cat to her that it
might clear the premises of the pests.
When the rats were gone the Fin
stads say that they went to Mrs.
Lewis, asking that she return the cat.
Not only did Mrs. Lewis refuse to give
the animal up, but the Finstads say
that she hid the creature in the house,
defying them to take it.
Now, a man of the name of Finstad
isn't likely to take a dare. Mr.. Fin
stad didn't, and when he went to the
Lewis residence again it was with the
determination 10 do or die with his
boots on. He and Mrs. Lewis mixed,
without TIE formality of gloves and a
roped ring, and by the time Mr.. Fin
stad got home with the cat the town
marshal served 4 warrant, charging
him with assault and battery.
In justice court next morning Mr..
Finstad got the worst of a fight with
a woman. She not only got in the last
word but he was fined SO and costs.
This Mr.. Finstad refused TO pay, and
to this end he has appealed the case to
the circuit court. There are both feel
ing enough and money enough in the
case to take it at least to the supreme
court.
In the meantime the cat, on back
fences, is serenading both families i'm
nartiaIlY every night.

CORA, THE COWGIRL.
A Unique and Daring Product of
Western Civilization.
For Two Hours She "ShOt Up" the
Town OF Santa Rosa, y. Nal
ways Has Plenty of Money
at Command.

Cora, the cowgirl" as she is known
to the Santa Rosa whites, or Cora
Chiquita, or Senorita Chiquita. by the
local MeXicans, has disappeared from
Santa Rosa, \. NJ. She fitted between
two days to avoid arrest for "shootin'
up the town" during a sPoTtive drunk,
and whittier her flight tended, or
where it ended, is yet unknown. Not
long, however, viii her whereabouts
be a mystery, for wherever Senorita
tarryeth she is soon in active and abid-
ing evidence.
La Chiquita is a quarter-blOOdedC Cher
Okee Indian, and was q cowgirl on the
Cherokee Indian cattle ranges from
the time she VS. able 10 sit on COW
pony until seven years ago. when ste
transferred her range riding to the
Texas Pan-Han lie. and thence drifted,
accompanied by Poker Paul, a we'll
known frontier card sharp, TO the con
structiOn camps Of the Rock Island-El
Paso railroad.
Cora and Poker Paul opened a saloon
and gambling house at the famous Rag
Town grading Rock Island camp and
remained there until she became ieal-
Gus of a pretty Mexican girl, upon
which La Chiquita promptly shot Paul
and scratched the woman until she
looked as if she had been in close and
energetic communion with a frst-claSS
barbed wire fence. Cora then mount
ed her horse and rode to Santa Rosa.
Cora Chiquita is now about % years
of age, is slight in form. and yet rO-
bust and agile, carries a handsome and
naughty head crowned heavily with
black hair. Her face is lighted with
flashing black eyes and teeth of daz-
zling white, and she presents a picture
pretty in the extreme. done in deepest
olive.
She dresses in nattiest frontier male
attire, wears a beplumed and bespan-
gled sombrero, carries a brace of re-
