1880 FOOT DROP
FROM TEXAS BALLOON
IN PARACHUTE FOR 7

William NJ Stitch, IL youth OF Ridge
field Park, wrote his father recently
about jumping from a balloon in par
achute. He is member of the Fifty
fifth Balloon Company at Camp John
Wise, San Antonio, Tex. Among other
things he said that ON December so he
had gone up with Il companion, and
when up 800 feet something went
wrong with the cable, and they went
up rapidly.
I'VE sailed and sailed and sailed
some more" said the letter, land |
watched the altimeter registering the
height-1,000 feet, 1000 feet, and SO ON
upward until it reached 1880 feet.
Well, dad, you can bet your boots at
12,500 feet in the air is pretty close to
heaven, also rather warm, while at
1000 feet it was cold"
The aviator then went on to describe
how the balloon was caused to de-
scend and how they climbed into para
chuteS and landed on the side of a cliff
unframed save for few slight
scratches
After walking some distance the
boys reached Il telephone in the valley

"TEDDUMS" BULL HURT
BY AUTO RACING OFF
OF A FERRY BOAT

Little "Teddums" Bull, son of Mr..
and Mrs Frederick Warrington Bull,
formerly of Palisade, but now residing
in New York, had narrow escape one
day this week while going off the ferry
on the New York side at One Hundred
and Thirtieth street. A woman driver
of an automobile came off the ferry
boat at too swift speed "Teddums"
was with his mother and, hearing the
automobile, turned to find it right on
top of him. He screamed, as did his
mother, and then the little chap jump
ed for the front guard rail before the
wheels and held on for dear life. The
car was brought to a stop after it pass
ed over the boy, who was unhurt and
the woman driver took him in and
FASTENED with his mother to the J.
Hood Wright Hospital, where he was
cared for, though not greatly hurt be-
yond a few scratches. But for his ac-
tive foresight in jumping for the guard
rail he might have been killed. The
accident is q lesson to all the other
foolish auto drivers who insist on rae
ing off the boats.- Signs of warning
should be nailed up in all ferry houses
against this fool practice. 1t is done
every day.
