der on $4,000 paving job in the city

the reason that it is traversed by heavy
traction machinery that is manufactur-
ed in one of the Michigan City fac
tories For this reason a brick pave
ment is being laid.
This is the second large contract
which Ahlborn has bid on in Laporte.

BALLOON SAILS ACROSS COUNTY.
Big Dirigible Balloon Seen by Many
Winneshiekers. Nearly Comes
to Earth i'm Hesper
Township.

Probably the first dirigible balloon
that has ever been seen sailing in
the heavens above Winneshiek coun-
ty, passed swiftly across the county
Friday afternoon about three o'clock,
sailing from northeast to southwest.
The big machine, which looked
like a regular balloon, only of much
finer texture and better workman
ship, with a large basket suspended
beneath it which contained at least
two men, was first seen in the county
west of Hesper. 1t had passed east
of Mabel and been noticed by the
people of that town, and then crossed
the line and sped rapidly in south
westerly direction, crossing the Win
gate farm. Albert Wingate and his
hired man spied the aerial monstroci-
ty and it was then about 500 feet
above the ground, but it gradually
descended until it was not over $50
feet above ground, and Mr.. Wingate
thinking that it was going to alight,
took after it with a horse, as did
other neighbors, but the blasted
thing just wouldn't come down. The
occupants kept throwing out hand
fuls of sand, and finally as the bal
loon got closer to the ground they
threw out a sackful, probably fifty
pounds, and the balloon shot up into
the air again and was soon out of
sight.
Where the balloon was from and
whittier bound, we have been unable
to ascertain, but it was rare ex-
perience for those who saw It, and
they are all interested In its out
come.
The chances are that this was one
of the balloons which left Kansas
City on Thursday, in the races for
the James Gordon Bennett cup and
the Lahm cup, the former interna-
tional and the latter national in
character. They landed in various
parts of Iowa, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa. AS near as can be figured, it
went north into Minnesota, and then
reversed its direction and came back
again. One of the balloons landed
at Emmettsburg and another at Ma
son City.
1t is also reported that a paper
was dropped from the balloon, stat
ing that it was from Minneapolis,
bound for st. Louis.
