Baloonist at Lowell, Mass, Fell in
Sight of 1000 People.

Lowell, Mass.-Harry M. Maynard,
young aeronaut, fell 400 feet to his
death late Saturday afternoon at Lake
View, a pleasure resort near here,
while 1000 spectators held their breath
in sickening suspense. Maynard's
home is in Lynn. He was employed
to give an exhibition by the Stafford
Balloon club of Boston.
Maynard took two parachutes for
1000 feet in the air he cut loose from
the balloon. He shot earthward like
a bullet more than half the distance.
Within 400 feet from the ground one
parachute opened. Maynard's employ
er. who had fred the shot telling the
aeronaut to cut loose, yelled, Hold
it. hold it," meaning for Maynard to
use only one parachute, not to try to
cut loose from the first, depending on
the second. to open in the short dis
lance he had to drop.
Maynard either took the risk or
failed to hear, for he cut loose. The
other parachute did not open. and his
body shot down, falling on the roof of
the bowling alley. The sound was
heard above the screams of the thou
sands who had watched him fall Every
bone in the mans body was broken
Maynard was dead three minutes after
he struck.

in finding her way out of the woods
It was only by chance that she was
rescued this morning by a huntins
party, almost exhausted from exposure

written by Justice Corson, the supreme

the verdict of the jury after the adjourn

parties concerned in the case agreed to
such return by the jury is held to ia

down decision ON Lyman county
liquor case which will be of general
interest in the state. He holds in effect
that the present liquor law of the state
is absolute prohibition except in case
where, by the proper legal procedure,
an affirmative vote is secured each year
for license. The commissioners of
Lyman county granted q license TO ]. L.
Mollyanna to sell liquor in the town or
Reliance and when arrested on charge
Of illegal hquor selling he brought in
his license as defense. As there was

no vote either favorable or unfavorable
had ever been had, the court holds that
that il was no defense.

ATHLETES LAUGH IN PAIN.
Instances of Grit by Men on Football
Filed and in Ring.

OF the $4,000 persons who saw
Princeton and Yale battle in the re-
! cent great football contest at New
Haven few knew that they were watch
| ing a wonderful exhibition of grit and
pluck on the part OF one or the play
| ers. OF course, every one was tnT1IlEu
| by the uphill fight made by the Bull
| dog and the vain effort of the Tiger TO
stave off defeat in that grueling second
| half. Every man on both teams was
playing the game of his life; But @ tne
| greatest of them all was Brown, the
Princeton right end, who played 1or
25 minutes with his collar bone broken.
Like a gladiator, who feared lest ms
opponent would find his weak point.
Brown played on, never Sinking ms
duty and never letting up for a mo-
ment in the fierceness of his tackles.
The pain from the injury must nave
been excruciating. His left arm was
useless and all his tackles were made
With his right. But his pluck carried
him On until finally nature could stano
it no longer and the coaches sent IN
substitute Even then he did not leave
the game willingly. Later, Wnen an
examination showed that his collar
bone had been broken, the coaches
maryeled at his pluck, though they
were men accustomed to WITNESSING
almost superhuman feats of endurance
on the gridiron.
Wonderful as was Browns exh1Dltlon
of pluck, the history of sports contains
others equally amazing to the general
public. In the excitement of competl-
fion the trained athlete seems to be

BARROW GIVES UP.
Forced by Illness to Retire From the
PettibOne Case

Boise. Idaho, Dec. 27.-Clarence
Darrow, chief counsel for the defens
in the Pettibone case, has been forced
to retire from the case for the pres
ent at least. on account of his health.
He will leave this afternoon ofrLos
Angeles, where he will submit to a
mastoid operation, which has becorpe
necessary because of an abscess in tn e
middle ear, which has given him
trouble for the last six months. After
he delivered his opening statement to
the jury his physicians informed him
that if the operation was not per-
formed his life would be endangered
There is little probability that he will
be able to return to Boise in time to
make the closing address for the de-
fense.
Former Congressman Edgar Wilson
will be in charge of the defense for
the present at least. Wilson, however
was unable to be in court today on
account of illness, and John F. Nugent
conducted the case, stating that the
defense would begin its evidence by
the Introduction of dispositions taken
on the Bradley affair. The reading
of the dispositions occupied the entire
forenoon session. They were intro
duced in an effort to show that the
explosion at the residence of Fred
Bradley in San Francisco was the re-
suit OF a leakage of gas. 1t was
shown that Bradley had expected
compensation from the gas company
for the damage done.

Jimmy had to lie to get the papers
didn't trouble him in the least He
had heard shyster lawyers lie a thou
sand times over. He claimed to have
found them on the street, and the
young attorneys drew long breaths and
declared that Providence was surely
with them. They won their case and
jumped into Easy street Jimmy
Singer was not forgotten. He was
patted on the back and called a lucky
young dog, and his salary raised, and
but for his learning law fast he
might have held down his job indefin-
itely. After he had been at it six
months he began to give legal advice
and to express legal opinions around
the courts. In fact. he arranged to
stand in with the police certain
things, but found too late that he could
not deliver the goods. This brought
about strained relations and an expos
ure, and the law firm and the student
of law had to part company. From
thence forward for the next three
years Jimmy travelled. He Travelled as
lawyer, as pickpocket, as con
man, and now and then he burglarzed
a bit for a change. No, it wasn't
burglary. The law says that entering
an occupied dwelling before sunset is
only robbery, and Jimmy never let the
years he returned to town to make
great mistake. The sun got in a
hurry to go down, or Jirnmy's watch
was ten minutes off, or the witnesses
swore falsely. At any rate. he was
caught with the goods on him, and felt
rather homesick until arraigned. Then
he chirked up. The judge was one of
the old law firm. He had stolen the
papers for that firm and had given it
its start. The judge must remember
it. He couldn't go back on him. 1t
would be black ingratitude. Jimmie
went ahead and made his plans for the
future, and there was a smile on his
face when the evidence was all in. 1t
bore hard on him, but the judge would
find way. He had seen lots of judges
find lots of ways.
james Singer, I sentence you to
ten years at Sing Sing for the crime
of burglary!"
Jimmy is up there still. He will tell
you how he tainted away on hearing
the sentence-how he was rewarded
with ingratitude-how a rosy career
was cut short, and he will then add:
But what 1 can't understand is |
what the gang was doing to get him, |
