TO DEATH ON THE LOOP.
Frightful Fall of Young Man, Who
Trys a Trick.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, June 22.-WiN
Zimmerman. who fell while attempting to
loop the loop on roller skates before an
audience in the Cyclorama building Thurs
day, died today. The coroner will inves-
tigate.
The New York World this morning pub
fishes the following account Of the acct
dent that caused Zimmerman's death:
Zimmerman's frightful fall thrilled with
horror large crowd. He is a bartender
the son OF a saloonkeeper, and is twenty
years old. He had seen the feat of loop
ing the loop on skates and had great de-
sire to try it. He begged permission, and
when his request was granted went into it
despite the pleading of his family and
friends. He had never tried the feat until
the night on which he met with the acct
dent.
In the audience was Ray Stevens, who
had made the loop successfully several
times, who had twice sustained desperate
injuries. and was then recuperatfng from
hurts
The loop is made in the same way that 1t
is made on a bicycle, except that the per-
former wears pair Of iron skates weighing
100 pounds. The feat had been done only
five times when Zimmerman attempted 1t.
The apparatus was invented by Frank
declaring that he had been injured in prac-
Using the loop, and was not yet able to
appear publicly. Stevens had made the
loop four times, while bicycle rider named
Lefever made 1t once.
The trip around the upright circle occu-
pies only four seconds, the performer
speeding so fast that he is scarcely seen by
the spectators Zimmerman was closely
watched by Stevens and the other experts.
They say that where the impetus is obtained
he lost his balance by looking. at that
critical moment. toward the spectators.
When he reached the top of the circle It
was seen that he stopped still for a fraction
of a second and then fell heavily the eigh-
teen feet to the floor of the circle. AS he
struck the bottom the iron skates struck
him on the head. crushing his skull.
Zimmerman's father will try to punish
those who permitted his son to attempt the
feat.
