BALLOON EXPLOSION.
Some Of Oar Home Boys ID Aviation
Squadron Get Real Experience at
r. Omafa, NlbraSka.


The Fulton County Contingent
who joined the Aero Squadron
and left McConnellsburg on the
first day Of February for the
Kelly Aviation Field at San At
onia, Texas, have been having
real war experience. The Full
ton County boys have been sep
arated to such an extent that
there is not more than two or
three at any one camp. Pete
Morton is down at Hampton, Va,
Willis Daniels, at Camp Morri-
son, near Newport News, Va.
Lester Waidlich and Jay Baker
at Fort Omaha, Neb.
1t dosen't mean that every
man in the aviation service is a
bird man" for part of the boys
are in the airplane division and
part in the balloon service. Will
lis Daniels is in the balloon SER
vice as is, also, Lester Waidlich
and Jay Baker. On the 2nd day
of May, after days training at
Fort Omaha, the balloons were
brought down and placed in
their sheds, or Hangers" as
they call them. A big balloon,
about as large as the Court House
more or less-it had a capacity
Of 36, 900 cubic feet of gas-had
just been housed, when without
a moments warning there was a
tremendous explosion, and at the
same instant the balloon and
hangar were a mass of flames.
Two men were burnt to a crisp,
and others so seriously injured
that they will be ,disfgured for
life. Harry Theys was slightly
burned about the back and neck.
W. Don Morton, formerly of
this county. very kindly sent the
Editor an Omaha paper which
gives the details of the accident,
and in a letter accompanying the
clippings, Mr.. Morton says:
Harry Theys who is mention
ed comes from Hopewell and is a
cousin of the Guillards of Wells
Valley. | entertained him and
Lester Waidlich of McConnells-
burg last week in my home.
Lester is a member of this same
company but, fortunately, had
been detailed on special work at
the time of explosion. | called
at the hospital to-day to see
Theys and found that he had
been discharged. He was burnt
a little. 1t is said that he was on
top of the balloon at the time it
exploded and was blown about
fifty feet by the conclusion. |
saw some of the boys that were
very badly burned and they will
be disfgured for life. Two were
burned to death. Their bodies
were unrecognizable. A young
Baker from Clear Ridge is a
member of this same company
(the FourteenthJ but | have been
unable to see him. The officers
make them realize that war is a
stern business and they have
very little time for visiting.
From this it will be seen that
the danger of getting hurt in the
aviation service is not confined
alone to the time they are in the
air.
