AWFUL BALLOON VOYAGE.
German Military AerOnauts Safe
Only After a Terrible Ex-
perience.
War Airshlp Was Driven Five Hum
dred Miles Over Baltic Sea and
Dropped In Swedish Snow Bank
Barely AVerted Drowning.

The progress of balloon experiments
in the German army has just received
severe setback by the fearful expert
ences of two members Of the Aero
static Corps, named Wolff and Brand,
who have returned to Berlin after hav-
ing been given up for dead, following
balloon ascension, during which they
completely disappeared The two men
were blown all the way from Berlin to
the Baltic Sea, where they were driven
by gale clear across that body of
water, and finally landed, half dead, in
little village in Sweden, travelling al
together more than five hundred miles.
The story of their fight is one of the
most thrilling in the history of bal
looming in Europe.
UNABLE TO MAKE DESCENT.
The two balloonists, caught in the
gale in the upper air, were blown at
terrific speed for three days, unable to
make a descent without being dashed
to death.
AS the wind seemed to slacken, Me
balloonists opened their valve, prepar-
ing to descend What was their horror
upon seeing as they dropped from the
clouds that the open sea was beneath
them. They tried to shut the valve,
but were only partly successful.
When within a few hundred feet of
the water, the valve was closed by
Wolff, who climbed up to the cordage
surrounding the gas bag to do it. But
the balloon still dropped nearer the
sea, Finally, desperate, the balloon
lists climbed into the balloons rigging
and cut the basket from under them.
Clinging to the cordage about the
balloon, the two men hung between
hope and fear for few moments as
the bag seemed to hover uncertainty.
The thought came into their minds
simultaneously. that one must drop off
and tighten the weight to save his
comrade; otherwise both must drown.
But slowly the bag began to rise once
more.
CHUNG TO CORDAGE FOR HOURS.
After clinging for hours to the cor
dage, thousands of feet in the air over
the sea, the two soldiers made out the
land. AS soon as it was safe, the valve
was opened again, and the balloon was
allowed to descend slowly. The two
men landed in a snow bank within a
few miles of a little Swedish village
| They had to walk two miles, almost
| exhausted, through the snow, and col
lapsed just as they reached the first
cabin.

heads, the air in our streets, the air in
our houses, trembled from the volcanic
impulse. The very oxygen supplying
our lungs was responding also to the
supreme convulsion which took place
10000 miles away. 1t is needless to
object that this could not have taken
place because we did not feel it. Self
registering barometers have enabled
these waves to be followed unmistak-
ably all over the globe.
Such was the energy with which
these vibrations were initiated at

thus arising had converged to the

Clara Barton, the famous Red Cross
leader, has just given new evidence
that she is one of the most remarkable
women the world has ever known. Feel
ing that the Red Cross work has been
placed on permanent basis and no
longer needs kar close supervision, this
untiring woman, although upward of
eighty years of age, has lately returned
to her old home in Massachusetts and
opened headquarters for great new
movement to alleviate suffering, name
ly, a project for organizing hospital
corps on all railroads in order that
with the aid of hospital cars speedy
succor may be brought to persons in
Jured in wrecks.
The portrait here presented is of
especial interest inasmuch as it is the
only likeness which Clara Barton has
permitted to be made in many years.
The famous Red Cross worker has no
love for the camera, but her close per-
sonal friend, Mrs. John A. Logan, after
much persuasion finally induced her to
sit for this picture. Mrs. Logan is seen
standing by her side.

Regular Session OF District Court,

The regular session of the district
court for Sedgwick county was held
in Julesburg Tuesday. The greater
part of the session was consumed in
the trial Of G. II. lngrum. charged
with Il criminal assault upon Emma
Williams. the sixteen year old dau-
ghter of his housekeeper.
| For the trial of this case venire
, of thirty-two jurymen had been sum
moncd and considerable time was con-
suned in securing jury to try thecase.
The jury as finally agreed upon was
rs follows: f.. B. Davis. A. Eckhout.
Henry Fuller, Mark Gyger, S. A.
MunSon, j. a. Dawson, A. Ackerman,
G. Nj. Clark. William Mercer, Frank
Miller, Frank Carlton, William Ep-
ley.
District Attorney Pound conducted
the prosecution and the defendant was
represented by Munson Il Munson. of
Sterling. The defendant took the
stand in his own behalf and made a
general denial of the testimony given
by the girl and her mother. Most of
the testimony was unfit for publca-
tion and can only be characterized as
'naSty.'
| The attorneys closed their argu-
ments shortly before six O'Clock in
the evening and the case went to the
jury. This tribunal spent all of Tues
day night in considering the evidence
and verdict was agreed upon short
ly before O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing. This verdict was as follows:
1--WE the jury find the defendant,
Charles H. Ingrum. guilty of rape, as
charged, and recommend him to the
| e IA
by T.. b. Davis, foreman.
Immediately following the reading
OF the verdict in open court, the de-
fendant's attorney, L. A. Munson.
made motion for new trial. The
arguments upon this motion were
brief and at their close the motion
was overruled by Judge Armour and
u sentence of from three to five years
in the state penitcntary was pro-
nounced upon the defendant
Attorney Munson then filed notice
of an appeal to the supreme court
and. pending the preparation of the
| papers in the appeal case, execution
OF the sentence was suspended for
sixty davs. Cntil that time Inrrum
Will be confined in the Logan county
Jail at Sterling, to which place lie was
taken Wednesday afternoon by Sher-
if Morgan.
Later: Late Wednesday evening,
when Sheriff Morgan was preparing
to take Ingrum to the Sterling jail, he
received notice from Judge Armour
that his order for II sixty days stay of
execution of sentence had been re-
sscinded. at lngrum 5 request. and the
latter was taken to the penitentiary at
Canon City Thursday morning by the
sheriff. lngrum preferred to begin
ms sentence at once rather than take
chances OF the supreme court sustain
ing the decision of the lower court in
his case.
