Hreenville, o o., Sept. with
such crash as might attend the an
initiation OF planet or the burst
ing of meteor. % pounds OF dyna-
mite, carried up high into the air.
by Aeronaut John E. Baldwin. ex-
ploded yesterday afternoon. blowing
the daring navigator of the air to
atoms. Baldwin made the ascen-
sion about $3.50. He claimed to have
seen service for the government dur
ing the Spanish American war in
Cuba, where he had used his cannon
from a balloon. To make his as
cension realistic. he carried up with
him, a monkey and parrot and 25
pounds of dynamite which he was
wont to startle the gazing crowds
when far above their heads. The
balloon had reached height of
probably 1,50O feet when terrific
spectacle greeted the eyes of the
spectators. As If touched by some
supernatural hand or force. the fall
ing body was scattered to the four
winds of the heavens. Then came a
crash from over head like bolt
of Jove. Then it dawned on the great
crowd that a disaster had occurred
and that no magician's trick had been
displayed before their eyes. 1t was
the magic of the grim monster
Crashing through the air came the
fragments of cloth, flesh and cord
age. Owing to the calmness OF the
atmosphere, the explosion had taken
place directly over the heads of the
spectators, and the pieces fell among
the awe-stricken crowd. many of
them fled in terror. A leg was the
found. The cause of the explosion
will never be known. There are in
dications that Professor Baldwin s
death was suicide. 1t is believed that
he was intending self-slaughter when
he took the explosive up with him.
He took his cue from the suicide of
the man who grasped the bar of a
trapeze attached to a rising balloon
and was dashed to death in Illinois a
few days ago. Baldwin's brother
died in poverty in SanFrancisco a
short time ago and the news reached
the professor just before he went up.
Baldwin was about As years OF age
and had wife and four children.
The grief OF the wife is pitiable It
is feared that the awful spectacle
of her husbands death and his loss
will affect her mind. Baldwin is
said to be brother of Harry Bald
win, well known in Denver and
throughout Colorado.
