AERONAUT CARRIED
 AGAINST HIS WILL
DR. THOMAS HAS A CLOSE CALL AFTER BEING WHIsKED UP 5000 FEET AND DROPPING RAPIDLY

Augusta, Ga., October 3L-Dr. Julian F. Thomas of New York today made here most daring ascent in his balloon, Mir vana. Owing to the location. of the fair grounds some distance from the city, the bag had to be inflated some miles away, and 1t was intended to tow 1t to the grounds up the canal. The stream proved to narrow, and the bag caught in trees, and was more or less damaged. pr. Thomas mounted into the net work and cut away the entangled basket. He arose like a shot and travelled in a southwest erly direction to an estimated height of 5000 feet
 When about seven miles from Augusta the valve which had been damaged Mon- day. and had been patched, began leak ing and the aeronaut shot downwards rapidly. He endeavored to tighten the ship by cutting off his shoes and heavy leather leggings and threw away his coat and contents of his pockets. The descent was but little checked, and he came down in the middle of a cotton field. The balloon then started across the field, dragging pr. Thomas nearly a quarter of mile before he could extricate himself. He was badly scratched and lacerated, but not seriously injured.
