Plucky Mile Zeno Survives 3500 Foot Balloon Descent
The Youngstown Telegram describes Mile Zeno’s perilous ascent near Lake Cohasset. After rising to 2500 feet she clung to the airship to avoid a lake drop, swinging to steer west as the balloon climbed to 3500 feet and then landed near the dam. She was bruised and fainted but will attempt another ascent this afternoon at the soldiers reunion on August 29 with free admission.

Kidnapping Claim Over Divorce Case in Armstrong County
Mrs Emma R Montgomery seeks an absolute divorce from D Elder Montgomery in Armstrong County Court. While walking with her daughters Mary and Eleanor on Jefferson Street, Montgomery suddenly seized young Eleanor, forced her into a buggy, and attempted to drive away.

Eleanor, seven, is beloved by her father. Indignities and cruel treatment form the divorce grounds. Both families are prominent, Mrs Montgomery’s father was the late W D Robinson.
