Only Fragments Found.
Scattered about a twenty acre field
were found fragments of BaldWin's
body. The distance at which the
remnants Of the airship fell was so
great that the crowd had not seen
the fragments fall.
No one can tell how the accident oc-
Cured. The six sticks of dynamite
which Baldwin carried with him eX-
ploded simultaneously, as only one
report was heard. 1t is supposed that
in igniting the fuse connected with the
dynamite he fired the gas in the bal
loon and that ii exploded causing the
dynamite to -eXolOde also.

Baldwin's business was aerial war

twenty years he had been giving bal

country. He was 81 years old and his
home was at Los Antville Ind. Ii was
with great difficulty that Mrs. Baldwin
