would give a balloon ascension, last
Saturday, day that many farmers and
their families are in town, being the time
set for the ascension. He went to mer-
chants and business men generally to
find out how much money they would
give. Of course every one was in favor

ever, had hard luck story to tell. His
balloon was in Spokane, along with wife
and two children, and as this was be-
tween seasons aud he needed little
financial assistance in order to pull off
the eveht Subscribers were urged to ad
vance subscriptions, or part Of it, if they
demurred too strongly. Many advanced
small sums OF money. ranging from 50
cents to 81, while Others wouldn't pungle
until after the event was pulled off.
1t is not known exactly how much
money he collected, but it is alleged that
it was respectable amount But alas,
alack, Saturday came but not the bal
loon man, those who advanced money
acknowledging that they we're sold.
1t has since been ascertained that he
worked the same game at Walla WaIla
and Pendleton. Other towns should
take notice.
