BALO0NIST FELL
1000 FEET

San Jose, Cal, July.-With women
fainting and men sobbing, Daniel Ma
loney, who has made numerous public
ascentions with Prof. Montgomery g
aeroplane, fell 5000 feet to his death
at Santa Clara Tuesday morning.
Prof. Montgomery had announced an
ascention from the grounds of Santa
Clara college in honor of the league of
the Cross cadets, who are holding their
annual enoampment in that town. The
announcement attracted probably 1000
people to, who watched with interest
the huge machine as it shot up from
the college garden attached to a huge
balloon.
At height of 1000 feet Maloney cut
eloos and began maneuvering the aero
plane. He circled gracefully about for
some minutes, having the machine ap-
parently under perfect control. Then
he essayed deep dip.
Suddenly the machine swerved, hest
tated and turned completely over. 1t
righted itself, sank down considerably
distance and turned over again. Ma
loney was clinging desperately to his
seat and evidently trying to regain COZ.
troll, but all his efforts were in vain.
Again the aeroplane turned in the
air, and this time the wings came to-
gether and the man and machine
plunged straight downward, while the
Mortified spectators gazed helplessly up
ward. Amid shrieks and groans many
people rushed to the scene while others
turned away weeping. A number of
cadets first reached the unconscious
man and picking him up they conveyed
him to the college hospital. His skull
was fractured and blood was flowing
from his ears and mouth. He expired
within short time. The aeroplane,
which was built of the toughest oak
procurable, was broken into small frag
ments.
