DYNAMITE PROVES FATAL
Aeronaut Blown to Pieces While
1900 Feet in the Air
John e. Baldwin Meets with Horrible
Death While Giving DemOn-
stratiOn at Greenville, o.

Greenvilic, Ohio. e. Baldwin,
an airship navigator, was blown to
atoms here while 15t feet in the air
by the explosion of six sticks Of dy-
Mantle His wife and two children
were among the % 900 spectators who
witnessed his death.
Baldwin had been giving daily ex-
.hibitions at the county fair here He
would ascend several thousand feetand
explode dynamite at intervals. This
time he had gone up 1900 feet, and his
airship was soaring birdlike Every
eye among the. thrilled spectators be-
low watched him until he became al.
most a speck.
Suddenly a great cloud of smoke ap.
peared. 1t hid the airship from view.
the spectators supposed, as the bal
loon had vanished.
In another moment the sound of the
explosion reached the straining ears.
The airship did not appear again to
vision
For a moment the crowd waited ex.
pectantly, thinking that a view of the
aeronaut would be obtained through a
rift in the smoke. A second two
three and, finally, a minute passed and
the supposed smoke did not clear Then
d grOan Of horror rose from the null
titude.
The airship had vanished. Where
it had been but a moment before was
only space. Twenty five thousand pairs
of eyes searched in vain over the heav-
ems for the speck which had been hui
man life.
A woman's shrek broke the spell.
The practiced eye of Baldwin's wife
told her Of the tragedy in the clouds
before the crowd could fully compre-
bend. With one piercing scream she
fell in dead faint
Searchers Immediately began looking
for fragments Of the wrecked airship
A half mile away they found pieces Of
silk cloth, of which the balloon was
made, and splinters of the basiSet-like
frame work on which the aeronaut had
been perched. Scattered about twen-
ty-acre field were fragments of Bald
wins body The distance was so great
that the crowds had net seen them fall

days program, and the crowd was
quickly dismissed from the grounds
No one can tell how the accident oc-
CURED. The six sticks of dynamite
which Baldwin carried with him must
have exploded simultaneously, as only
one report was heard. 1t is supposed
that in igniting the fuse connected
with the dynamite he set fire to leak
Of hydrogen gas from the balloon, the
gas forming an explosive mixture with
the air, and that this explosion set off
the dynamite also.
Baldwin was engaged in demon
stratlon of the possibilities of aerial
warfare. For almost twenty years he
had been giving balloon and airship ex-
hibitions about the country, for the
most part at county fairs. He was
thirty-seven years old, and his home
was at Losantiville. Ind.

ia its just pride of accomplishment,
simple in its pure American democracy
President Roosevelt stands to-day in
the eyes of the entire world, the most
potent figure in current history.
While the telegraph wires leading
into this little village on the shores Of

have been seen dressed in khaki and
carrying an axe. striding down the
wooded slope near his summer home.

but a few minutes before the axe
awakened the echoes.

morning. Secretary Loeb arrived at

congratulations from crowned heads Of
Europe, from men occupying exalted
places in State and church the world
over, and letters that came. from men
and women In humber station.
Mr.. Loeb found the President half
hidden behind pile of wood. Thus it
was that the man on whom is centred
the gaze of the world received the
official thanks of the world
Whistle softly. We are getting into
the thin timber. but we are not yet out
of the woods"
This homely admOnition is said to
have been used by President Roosevelt
in speaking of the situation at Ports
mouth. Peace was. in sight, but was
not yet an accomplished fact.
The telegraphic force at the execu-
tive Office was swamped with messages
from those who wished to congratulate
the President on the happy outcome
Of his efforts for peace. Among them
were the following:

higher priced next season. At least,
the higher prices which raw silks are

the output will soon be increased, and

swered began the task at once.
The earnestness of endeavor and sin
certify Of purpose Of the Chief Execu-
tive in his efforts on behalf of peace
are shown in his prayer before the
opening of the negotiations when the
plenipotentiaries met on the Presi-
dents yacht at Oyster Bay. He said:

which there will be no answer and
which l ask you to drink in silence,
standing | drink to the welfare and
prosperity of the sovereigns and peo-

representatives have met one another

hope and prayer, in the interest of not
only these two great powers but Of all
mankind, that just and lasting peace
may speedily be concluded between
them"

Desirable Opportunity

On the 18th Of this month | will be
gin the preparation OF special edition
of the Resources of Yavapai county
for free distribution at the Lewis
Clark Centennial exhibition, which
will be held at Portland, Oregon, for
six months following May LIST next.
In Importance this will be the great
est world exposition during the year
1905, aud will perhaps, so far as our
interests are concerned, be the only
fair of international import at which
we will have so favorablei an oppor-
tunity of doing good for ourselves for
some years to come.
My last two editions speak for them
selves, and in the preparation of the
third l only ask for that support and
consideration from those who have the
good of the county and territory at
heart. If people ever become acquain-
ted with our incompaI able resources,
one of the methods is truthful and
legitimate advertising. Excepting
everiastingly at it will surely bring
success. Yours truly,
