Lamoille, Ia, July 9.-When Mrs.
Hazel Hambright Bishop, the girl wife
of Herbert Bishop, a prominent young
farmer living near here, deserted her
husband and two babies On May 16 and
left for parts unknown, ii was gener-
ally supposed by the entire neighbor-
hood that she went with Norman
Rygmyr, of Forest City, a young farm
hand employed by Earl Tomlinson, q
neighbor of the Bishops. The fact that
Rygmyr left Lamoille on the same train
with Mrs. Bishop, and that nothing was
afterwards heard of him. suggested
that they had gone together, especially
when gossip had connected their names
for some time.
Mrs. Bishop returned to her mothers
home In Marshalltown just a month to
a day after she left home. She refused
to come here, although her husband
made every effort to persuade her to

While she refused to return home.
she cav a lawyer to see If she could
get possession Of her youngest child.
a baby daughter less than 2 years old.
and also to ascertain what she could do
toward securing a divorce. She then
declared hat she knew nothing what
ever of Rygmyr, and had not seen or
heard from him since they landed in
Marshalltown on the same train.
Now word received here from Sioux
Falls, S. D., is to the effect that Ryg-
myr and Mrs. Bishop are under arrest
there charged with a statutory crime.
Mrs. Bishop is a nice looking YOUNG
woman and was married when only Ii
years old. She Is now 19 and has two
baby daughters, one about Q years and

BALLOON DIPPED"
IN LAKE MICHIGAN

Chicago, July 9.-More thrilling adj
ventures with the wind and wave
were added yesterday to the stories OF
the international balloonists in their
flight from Chicago to establish a new
long distance record. The Canadian
balloon, King Edward" with John
Bennett as pilot and Gerald Gregory, 10,
years old, as the other membe of the
crew, dropped INTO Lake Michigan.
Like the French balloon, Vile de
Dieppe, which nearly cost the lives or
Captain Muller and George A. Schoen-
en-, when 10 miles from the Illinois
shore, the King Edward" sank into
the water and submerged the two &C.
cupants TO their shoulders. They We're
nearly in the middle of the lake when
the balloon took its first dip.
"We had just lost sight of the sky
rockets and Fourth of July display IN
Chicago, when we suddenly felt our
selves sinking into the lake with a
fearful drop" said Gregory, who re-
urned yesterday with the balloon
which finally landed near Port Huron,
Mich.
"We had our heads down In the bot
tom Of the basket arranging things for
the night and when we looked up again
we were not more than 100 feet from
the water. We Immediately threw

we were in the lake up to our waists.
"a few sacks of sand were washed
off and then we managed to go up.
again after being In the water five
or ten minutes. We had our life pre-
servers on. Then we assembled to a.
height of about 1000 feet and went
along at a fast pace. We could not see
the water below. Suddenly we felt
ourselves dropping again.
This time the descent was more
rapid and as we had thrown all but
two bags of ballast overheard we We're.
at a loss what to do. We shot down
into the lake The water came nto'
the basket and we were forced to climb
into the netting above. We tossed out
everything and arose again.
Before we went up we were bounc-
ing along over the waves driven by the
vino and l thought we never were 60
inc into the air again. When we finally
vent up again we went fast. Mr.. Ben
nett said we went up 5000 feet In six
minutes.
1--WE had no sand and when we came
in sight of Lake Huron early in the
morning we decided not to risk the
chance Of crossing it as the distance
was $50 miles. So, although we We're
up at an altitude of 5000 feet, we came
down gently. l landed about 10 miles
