INDIANA FARMERS
HAVE CLOSE CALL
Wagon Loaded With Explosive Bumps
Along Country Road for Seven
Miles Before Horses Are
Stopped
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
KNIGHTSTOWN, Ind, June "a
Charles S. Bess, driver of a nitro
glycerine wagon out of this city, mar
fowly escaped being blown to atoms
today, and hundreds of farmers were
terrorized when his team ran away
with the wagon loaded with the dead
ly fluid following behind.
BesS had started out to make some
shots. and when about four miles north
of here his horses became frightened
at some dogs and started to run.
They soon were beyond the drivers
control and heading for a steep en-
bankment at the end of a bridge.
BesS jumped and ran for his life and
the horses swerved just in time and
kept the road. They ran for seven
miles, through thickly populated
country.
The terrified farmers, seeing the
ro-glycerine danger sign on wagon,
fed for their lives into the fields and
woods. One thoughtful farmer called
up his neighbors down the road and
warned them by telephone of the ap-
preaching danger. At the end of seven
miles Wallace Apple, farmer, ran
into the road and stopped the almost
exhausted team. Apple had not the
faintest idea how big a hero he was
until it was all over. He was the onlT
one of the hundreds who had not been
advised of the danger. 2

and he declares that his revelations
will make the giving or taking of
bribes impossible at the state house in
the future.
when, however. I sat on the floor
of the house Thursday and saw myself
held up to scorn, not by the handful
of men whose names are above re-
proach, but by a mob Of dastardly
hypocrites who had been offered and
taken ten bribes to my one, 1 swore
then and there to avenge my expul-
sion.
Il am buoyed by the knowledge that
shall have done the state some good
if in my ruin the structure of infamy
headed by these men shall fall"

MAN ANGEL SCARS
INTO THE SKIES
EXPERIMENTAL TRIP MADE
FROM CHUTES PARK
Inventor Reynolds Explains Workings
to the Assembled Crowd.
Craft Lands in Boyle
Heights

Like a great bird, conscious of it's
own power, Man Angel No. scared
high In the air yesterday afternoon,
starting at o'clock from the Chutes on
an experimental trip for the manipu-
lator to look over the territory and
test the air strata preparatory to the
great race with an automobile on
July d.
Half an hour after the appointed time,
during which the crowd of spectators
steadily gathered in the inclosure
where the airship, which. is well known
to all Angelenos, is stored.
G. D. Frisbie, who has been connected
with the various Man Angels, took his
position in the light frame shortly
before the word was given to make the
ascent.
The trim little airship commenced
its aerial fight, going straight up like
a captive bird let loose in the free air.
Onward 1t Scars
Onward it scared, until 1t became
smaller and smaller, and the brave
navigator could just be dscerned as
it went, with hundreds of eyes watch
ing every movement.
Up, between heaven and earth, with
only its fraii frame as a support, the
birdlike motions of the oars, veritab BILE
air paddles, ceased, and the oarsn1an
sat with oars outstretched for a brief
rest.
The brisk southwest wind took the
little craft in tow and commenced it's
fight.
On and on, toward the Sierra noun
tains, did the little airship go, until
after few minutes it was but speck
in the sky, as over and beyond the
city it sped in the wake of the wind
Alva L. Reynolds, the inventor made
a short speech before the ascension,
explaining its workings, and from his
vantage point in the park explained to
the crowd what the navigator was
doing in the air.
The course of the airship was fol-
lowed by Mark Lee on bicycle.
Lands in Boyle Heights
The Man Angel continued in it's course
about fifty minutes, making three land
ings, the last one being in Calvary
cemetery, east of Boyle Heights.
The trip was made successfully with
out any accident, but as there was a
con ntinual brisk wind there was no at
tempt to make the aerial return trip.
Mr.. Reynolds scores another achieve
ment in his Man Angel, which will be
heard from more specifically later on.
