FIRST RECORDED AIR FIGHT
Frenchmen, Rivals in Love, Had
Strange and Fatal Duel More Than
One Hundred Years Ago.

The first battle in the air and the
strangest duel in the long history of
the field of honor was fought ITO
years ago near Paris. Two Frenchmen
were ardent rivals for the affections
of a woman, and so bitter did their
quarrel become that only blood could
wipe it out. Ordinary methods were
too tame for these fiery spirits, so 1t
was agreed that the duel should be
fought from balloons. The cause of
the trouble agreed to marry the VIC
tor.
When the selected day arrived the
two fighters and their seconds repaired
to the meeting place, only to find a
great crowd assembled, for word of
the strange encounter had spread
broadcast. The principals, however,
were undeterred. Two balloons, pre-
cisely alike, had been prepared, and
into these they stepped. To each was
handed a carefully loaded blunderbuss.
The word was given and the moor
ings cast off. Slowly the balloons as
cended almost side by side. At the
height of about half a mile, when the
great bags were but 80 yards apart,
the signal was given and both men
opened fire. Soon one Of the balloons
collapsed and crashed to the earth.
The record says the woman kept her
promise and married the victor of the
aerial battle.
