AER0NAUT DYNAmITED
BLOWN TO PIECES IN MID-AIR
John e. Baldwin, an Indiana Aeronaut,
Meets His death While Giving q
Public Exhibition at Green
willie, Ohio.

Greenville, o., Septe. Professor
Baldwin, a well known Indiana aero
naut, was blown to pieces high in the
air yesterday while making balloon
ascension. His wife and children were
in the great crowd which witnessed
the accident.
Many of the $4,000 persons who
went to the fair ground were at
tracted by the announcement that
Professor Baldwin would make bal
loon ascension and from the highest
altitude let loose in the air wonderful
display Of fireworks and dynamite
bombs.
Professor Baldwin had been giving
daily exhibitions at the fair grounds
as he had done at other county fairs
In Ohio and Indiana during the sum-
mer. Preparations for his ascension
attracted great attention, and when
his airship scared aloft the crowd
cheered and every neck was craned to
watch his performance. The balloon
rose rapidly. When 1t had reached an
altitude Of about 1900 feet a great
cloud of smoke suddenly hid the air
ship from view.
There was loud report as II all his
bombs had exploded simultaneously
balloon and the body of the aeronaut
fell to the earth. Then a groan of hor-
ror rose from the multitude. The air.
ship had vanished. Searchers imme-
diately began looking for fragments OF
the wrecked airship.
A half mile away they found pieces
Of silk cloth and splinters of the bas-
ket-like framework on which the aero
naut had been perched, Scattered
about twenty-acre field were found
fragments of Baldwin's body. The dis
tance at which the airship fell was 80
great that the crowd had not seen the
fragments fall. 1t is supposed that IN
igniting the fuse connected with the
dynamite he fired the gas in the bal
loon and that it exploded. causing the
dynamite to explode also.
Mrs. Baldwin, who with their chill
dren, was among the. spectators.
screamed when she saw the smoke
and rushed IN the direction in which
the wind had carried her husband. Be-
fore the crowd realized what had hap
pened she had fallen in a faint.
Professor Baldwin is said to have
taken part in the Spanish-American
war as a balloopist and his exhibition
was supposed to illustrate how he ma
nioulated his machine in battle. He
carries twenty-five pounds of dynamite
and explosives.
Professor Baldwin was about forty
five years old, He lived in Lousantis-
vile. Indiana, where his body will be
taken for burial.
No trace has been found of a parrot
and monkey which made the ascension
with the aeronaut.
