INDIANS AND GAME LAWS.
Warden Says cherokees Assist IN En-.

Oklahoma City, Okla, July To-
Cherokee Indians are often a great
assistance in enforcement of the state
game laws" said NJ NJ. Ballew, dep
uty Fish and game warden for the
tenth district which includes several
northeastern Oklahoma counties.
The natural love of the Indian to
hunt without restrictions would lead
to the belief there was a tendency
among them to transgress the white
mans laws for protection of fish and
game. On the contrary. however, the
Cherokees in my district have a
marked respect for the regulations
when they are explained to them and
are anxious to assist in the enforce
ment. When a party of pot hunters
go into the district where large num-
Der of Indians reside the Indians are
quick to report violations, and fire.

Mr. Ballew says there are many
wild turkeys and a number of deer
in the Cherokee hills and that in Della
ware county, where there is a law
against deer killing any season of the
year, they are quite tame, and are
often seen in herds.

! August Post, aid, in the balloon New
York, were compelled after a thrill
| ing experience to land today at Free
mont, Iowa, and give up their places
in the elimination race for the James
Gordan Bennett cup.
Both men landed safely and after
packing their balloon. which was un-
injured, they started with it for New

About the same time, the balloon
Kansas City, with Captain f. +.
Honeywell, pilot, and John Watts,
aide, was forced to land at Indy,
Iowa. The Kansas City, like the New
York, encountered a severe electrical
storm. All aboard were saTe.
Early this afternoon, as far as learn.
ed, all of the other five contestants
are still in the air travelling in a north
easterly direction over Iowa and Illi-
nois.
In message to this city, August
Post described his experience since
leaving Kansas City, as follows:
midnight last night in northeaster-
ly direction" said Post. Then we en-
tered a terrific thunderstorm. The
balloon rose to eight thousand feet.
The temperature dropped to 80 de-
grees. A cyclonic vortex sucked us
into the center and we were lost in
the clouds with the lightning playing
arounds us. Thunder claps shook the
basket and the vibration felt like
huge sledge hammer striking it. At
the upper surface of the storm center,
the balloon was twisted and tossed
like a cork in Niagara rapids. Har-
mon and ! had to hold onto the sides
of the basket, while it dropped and
rose with frightful rapidity.
"Our ballast was soon exhausted
and we were carried down without
being able to check the balloon. We
descended to make landing although
Il was 3 o'clock at night and so dark
we could not see"
The balloon Topeka IT,, landed near
Laharpe, H. at o'clock this morn

st. Louis balloon is believed to have
landed near Coal City, Iowa, 14O miles
northeast of Kansas.
The other three balloons are be-
lieved this afternoon to be still in the
air. Their whereabouts, however, are
unknown.
