west carried the balloon toward the
river, and when the parachute filled it
followed the same course,
As he descended the seronaut was
heard by those below to cry, Run to
the river, boys; watch the river, - he
was noticed to be trying frantically to
disengsge himself from the parachute,
and it was evident there was come OBJ
stacle he was unable to overcome.
As the parachute sailed over the river
Linbocker was observed trying to sway
the parachute toward the sand bar and .,
had he succeeded, his life would not
have been forfeited. He failed however
and the man with the parachute still
attached fell into the slough, through
which flows a strong current with a
depth of ten feet.
Two boys, David Hallay and Joe Ross
reached the river bank and vsinly tried
to rescue Linbocker, who struggled help.

cried, II m gone. - The boys were no,
over 20 feet distant from him, but they
could not render any assistance.
Men soon after reached the scene and
began searching for the body, Five mer

hands, and waded wherever possible
and at last the body was found 300 yards
from where he sank the parachute beinl
still fastened to his belt.

Press Associations Having q Good
Time

From the st. Louis Republic.
Determination to cut business
sessions short and see "the show"
characterizes the meetings of the
various press associations at the
Worlds Fair, and little business
will be transacted. The time of
the visiting editors will be taken
up principally with seeing the Ex
position and attending receptions
at the state buildings, Many re.
ceptiOns, all of which are informal,
have been announced, and others
are being arranged for. The visit.
ing editor is welcomed every.
where and does not have to wait
for invitations, as the latch string
is on the outside at all of the
buildings.
The 32d annual meeting of the
Arkansas Press Association was
held on the 18th in the Arkansas
building. The session was brief,
because the Arkansas editors
wished to devote all of their time
to seeing the Exposition.
The business session set for the
next day was dispensed with and
papers which had been prepared
were ordered printed in the pro.
ceedlngs.
