AERONAUT HAS
NARROW ESCAPE

Milwaukee, Aug 14.-Captain Jack
Dallas, who is making daily flights
in dirigible balloon from Wonder
land, a pleasure resort of this city, had
a thrilling experience this afternoon
when he had narrow escape from
being blown into Lake Michigan.
Captain Dallas covered a distance OF
two and one-half miles from che re-
sort circled the city hall tower and
then sailed toward the lake, intending
to make his return trip. At this June
ture something went wrong with his
carbureter and the balloon was driven
toward the lake. Captain Dallas only
way OF escaping possible drowning in
the lake was to let the gas escape
from the bag. This he did and after
firing three shots to warn his assist
ants, threw long rope toward the
earth. the end OF which was caught
and a landing effected in Juneau park
on the lax front, after brushing
through the trees.
A new supply Of gas was brought in
rank from Wonderland and after re-
filling the bag and making repairs,
return trip was safely made.
