Desperate Leap for Life As Balloon Crew Parachute
A British observation balloon at the western front was cut free by enemy planes and rose into the clouds.

Also included is a public notice from Lewistown Montana dated July 25 1919 announcing J Roy Chitticks land claim proof scheduled for Sept 9 1919 with witnesses listed.
