A tremendous tumult ensued, deputies
of all parties crowding upon the floor

soon in progress. Speaker Brisson left

SCARED into SPACE,
Baldwin's Airship Broke Loose from
Men Who Were Towing It.
CLIMAX OF an UNSUCCESSFUL TRIAL.
The Arrow Had Landed in q Corn
neld ana Baldwin ana His AS
sistants Were Returning with
at to Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, Nov. 3.-Two accidents
yesterday prevented the long-distance
trial flight arranged by Capt. Thomas
s. Baldwin, Of San Francisco, to test
the staying powers of his ariship, the
California Arrow. and what was to
have been a speed demonstration
around 4 prescribed quadrangular
course Of about Is miles developed in
to drifting exhibition, the Arrow
finally landing In cornfield four miles
west Of the aeronautic concourse at
the worlds fair after the motor had
been disabled by an exhaust cap blow
ing of when the vessel had resumed
its flight after the first breakdown and
been repaired.
Z At AIS o'clock the airship landed on
Peck's farm. eight miles northwest Of
the exposition. Soon after an automo-
bile with newspaper men arrived and
Knabenshue said 1t was impossible to
endeavoY to return to the concourse
by flight, as the motor needed repair
ing, and he had released considerable
gas from the balloon in descending.
Knabenshue climbed into the rigging
and all the weight removable was
taken from the craft, which rose to
the end of the anchor rope, and was
towed after the automobile towards
the oonoourse.
While Capt. Baldwin and several as
sistants were returning the airship
from the place 1t landed in st. Louis
county, the lead rope was dragged from
the hands of Baldwin's assistants and
the airship broke loose and scared into
the air. When last seen the airship
was drifting rapidly in northwestern
ly direction.
The airship escaped at 8:15 o'clock,
Just as the persons towing it into the
concourse had reached the immediate
of the place. There was
trolley line to be crossed and 1t was
necessary to pass the PROV Of the
craft over the trolley wire and catch |
the down hanging rope, and then re-
lease the rope that hung from the
rear. In the darkness those manipu-
lating the ropes miscalculated and both
the front and rear ropes were released
at the same time. In twinkling the
buoyant airship, from which had been
taken Is pounds Of ballast, and which
was not even encountered with Aero
naut Knabenshue, shot up and was
gone. In the dim light projected by
he nearest light the yellow balloon
oomed indistinctly, but for enough
Jpace of time to show that the light
Wind was carrying 1t toward the north
vest.
There was absolutely nothing for
Knabenshue and the other
of the party to do but accept
he situation and make the best Of 1t.
after some little discussion as to the
length Of time that the sup
'ly Of gas would sustain the airship. |
Baldwin stated that he believed the
