American AerOnauts Have Mar.

WERE BUT SLIGHTLY INJURED
Debated Gas Bag Formed Parachute
and Broke Fall of Post
and Forbes.

Berlin, Oct 12-The international
balloon race, which started yesterday
from the suburb OF Schmargendorf,
was the occasion of a thrilling acct
dent two American aeronauts having
a miraculous escape from death The
American balloon Conqueror, having
on board A. Holland Forbes and Aug
ustus G. Post, less than two minutes
after the start burst at en- altitude of
1000 feet.
For 1000 feet it shot down like a
bullet, the aeronauts clinging to the
overhead ring, and then the torn silk
spread out like a parachute and the
! rapidity Of the descent was checked.
Coming close TO the earth however,
the basket smashed into the roof of
house, but the two men escaped
with slight injuries.
A. Holland Forbes, who appeared to
be very little the worse for his expert
ences except that he was suffering
somewhat from shock, gave a thrilling
account OF the accident.

HORSE THIEF GETS
SIX YEARS At
WINDSOR
George Brimmer Sc ntenCed
This Morning
HAS BAD PRISON RECORD
Was Captured in Act Of Stealing
Horse From Frank w. Fuller Of
Shaftsbury.

George Brimmer. a young man
whose home is in New Hampshire,
and who, Notwithstanding the fact
that he is but 25 years Of age, has
criminal record of considerable pro-
portions, was this morning sentenced
by Judge E. b. Bates of the Benning-
ton municipal court to not more>than
six or less than five years and ten
months in the state prison at Wind
sor.
There was no question as to Brim-
mer's guilt as he was caught in the
act of stealing a horse from Frank W.
Fuller of SALISBURY early Saturday
evening That he did not get away
with the animal was not his fault but
because Marcus Rice, who is employ
ed by Mr.. Fuller as farm hand, and
Arthur Peters overpowered the horse
thief and turned him over to the auth
critics.
The horse which was Mr.. Fuller's
best animal and valued at $3.50, had
been turned into a pasture late in the
afternoon. Shortly after dark Brim-
mer, who has served a previous SEN
tence for horse stealing in New York
state and who admitted that he had
been an inmate of the state prison at
Windsor, for larceny, went into the
pasture, bridled and mounted the
horse and rode out upon the highway
leading to White Creek, N. Y. The
fact that he had bride with him
shows that the stealing of the horse
had been deliberately planned
The road over which Brimmer was
compelled to ride passed by the house
occupied by Marcus Rice, who when
he saw Brimmer making away with
Mr. Fuller's property, mounted an
other horse and started in pursuit
Rice soon came up with the thief but
Brimmer had prepared for an emer
gency Of this kind by filing his peck
cts with large stones with which he
I pelted Rice and drove him back Rice
went back toward the house and met
Arthur Peters who mounted with him
and the two rode on after Brimmer
| They received another fusilade OF
stones and Peters was hit and quite
severely hurt. They closed with
Brimmer, however, and in the strug-
gle BACKED both the horse thiefs
eyes and cut his head with a stone.
Having overpowered the fellow his
captors took him to North Bennington
and turned him over to Deputy Sher-
III John Nash who brought him to the
county Jail.
In municipal court this morning
States Attorney Meagher appeared
against Brimmer in behalf of the
state and the conviction and sentence
followed plea Of guilty.
