traveled from headquarters af my expedition at Lady hny but I want to say right Here that Nansen's perseverance is worthy of the old Scandinavian race I think that the expedition will those who

His Antecedents Dallas Tex Aug Borson a aeronaut and parachute jumper was killed while descent at Oak Cliff park this afternoon More than a thousand people saw the thrilling accident and no one can tell exactly bow it curred Great preparations hod for the occasion the event had been advertised very widely The shoot Into tbe air ami the fall again had billed to take place nt 4.30 but there waa some de- Iny and it was nearly 5 o'clock before the monster balloon pulling the self-acting with ItB load of human freight was detached from its fastenings The ascension no every witness attests was a brilliant success The small tain of canvas that had been tugging at the ropes that kept the gas with which the balloon was charged hugging mother earth rose like a feather the moment the fastenings were untied and shot diagonally upward to a height estimated at SCO or 900 yards Fifteen hundred pairs of eyes watched every movement of tho aeronaut I and every witness held his breath when at i this heighth Borson with a quick ment turned the escape valve on the loon and detaching the parachute fell like a rock a distance of fifty feet or more But the resistance of the air caused the great ribs of the hugo umbrella to which the man was clinging to unfold and until struck the pole that caused his death his was nnd easy Tho balloon had pono up from the park and tho faint wind that was from the easl caused both tho balloon and para- chute to veer to the southwest In both tbe and Rorson and bin parachute were within feet of the earth ami tho Jefferson street corner of the Oak Cliff college campus eye say a slight gust of wind struck the aeronaut causing Tils to ami careen He was to one hand which wna hanging to the bar In order to right himself for the of the trip most beneath him a cedar pole on which aro strung the electric that the college building and lu attempting to level the machine swung it into arm on which the wires rest The shock almost turned him over and threw him against the pole striking- his back with violence The big umbrella it- self In a moment only to become entangled in a small elm tree a few feet away son was dangled about in midair for ute when it is supposed his long hold upon the parachute bar and weakened by the shock he had received against the pole he fell Several feet two limbs termed a perfect fork Into Vhis the man fell his head catching between the es and hanging just as effectually as though it were a noose His Dis- located and death resulted in a very short while Jt was on end so thrilling and unexpected that very few of the hundreds who were realized what had happened But a crown soon collected and was re- leased and lowered to the ground were present a hasty tion wad made but only a flickering pulse that soon died away remains Curious sightseers came irom all quarters to listen to repetitions of the story of the man's strange death It was hard to make those who had not seen the accident believe it had occurred as Is staled At- tempted explanations only Increased their wonder Long before warmth bnd left the corpse it was moved to a drug store where Justice tbe remains No verdict was rendered but all the lacis were elicited Borson made several balloon ascensions here last year all of which gave tion to his patrons One of these made from Oak Cliff park and it IH recalled by those who saw it his parachute caught In a tree on that occasion but the accident was slight and did no damage had employed a young man named George to assist him The two worked together last week but Hartland knows very of his late employer He hays Borson was about 20 years of ape and had been a professional aeronaut lor several years that he had been at the City of Mexico associated with a partner whose name he does not know When the two men resolved to separate Borson come di- rect to Dallas while his partner it is claimed went to Los Angeles Cal The dead man was pleasant laced blonde In appearance taciturn in and bore marks of having seen much of the world To-day at dinner the last meal he ate those about the table spoke to him of the ascension only a few hours off and asked him if he wasn't afraid he would not re- turn to the hotel again He laughed at this and left the house soon after Haifa officers who tried to learn the whereabouts of his family If he had any made poor progress George Loudermilk who has the body In charge told a News reporter it would be embalmed and held several days before dis- posal was made of the remains On left arm Is tattooed the figure of a mermaid Other marks appear upon his
