Balloon rescue at Ellenville fair sparks $25000 suit
In Kingston on December 15 Mrs. Charles A. Brocket of Port Jervis formerly Maggie Daley testified in Ulster County Supreme Court about a balloon ascent at the Ellenville fair two years earlier. Mrs. Mary S. Roper of Brooklyn was dangled from a rope tied to a fifteen pound sand bag after being carried aloft on one foot. Brocket rescued Roper after a harrowing ascent and descent, while she warned she could have cut loose with a parachute. Fitts reserved his decision on the case against the Ulster County Agricultural Society.
