Echterdingott, Aug. 5.—A dramatic
■end came today to Count Zeppelin’s
long endurance flight m his monster
dirigible balloon., and tonight the
proud airship which yesterday was
cutting rapidly through the air and
outdistancing pursuing automobiles,
lies in an open field near here, a mass
of twisted, useless metal.
A chapter of accidents occasioned by
bad moods of nature and the failure
of mechanical appliances combined
wa-i responsible for the untimely end
of the balloon, the flights of which
have held the attention of the world
and for (he. time blasting the ambi-
tions of its inventor, Count Zeppelin.
Count Broken-Hearted.
The count, almost broken hearted
and unable longer to endure the sight
of his shattered craft, has left, by train
for Fricdriehshafen.
The airship had left Naekenhtdlii,
tlie scene of its first mishap, and
over night bail visited Mayencc and
begaft oil the homeward journey when
misfortune overlook, it. Soon alter
its departure it was found that tlie
front motor was working badly, owing
to t he fusing of metal in I lie groove
in which the piston rod ran. This
was caused by friction. Consequently
Zeppelin was compelled to rely on mu
motor on the rear platform, through
Out the night, which considerably re-
duced his speed; timing tlie night lie
made an , ascent of nearly fi/iuti feet:,
losing a considerable quantity id' gas.
This deprived tin- balloon of some of
Us buoyancy.
Made Ill-Fated Landing Easily.
Over Kchferdingen Count Zeppelin
decided to land. 'Although this was
Hie first time that such a maneuver
hail been attempted witli a rigid bal-
loon, Hie landing was effected easily
and: Smoothly, only om- of the steel
wires being iiroki u Tlie; engineers
set. about making repair:, to the bal-
loon, which lode at anchor In the
center Of a large force of military,
which had been called out to keep the
crowds away, Count. Zeppelin tele-
graphed to Fricdrichsluifeii for more
gas cylinders, and then went to a
neighboring inn for luncheon.
Count Away When Accident Occurred
He was away for over two hours,
arid was destined to see only tlie
wreck of his airship When he re
turned.
The local railway companies ran
special cars to convey the curious
sightseers tii this place, while pedes-
trians, automobiles ami wagons loaded
with peasants also Hocked to tho vi-
cinity.
It is estimated that: the crowd
around the. monarch of the air num-
bered nearly 4b,quo persons.
Warnings Unheeded.
At, 2; lib o'clock this afternoon a
wind suddenly sprang up and some
of the weather wise bystanders called
the attention of the officers to the
fact that, a' storm; was brewing find
advised the officers to secure the bal-
loon. Theii warnings were tinheedi d
How It Happened.
The balloon swayed to and fro,
ometimes rising a few feet. At 2: ok
Ki'oiock a formidable gust of wind
struck the airship hrcmdsldo. At. first
the. Craft, heeled on : an i He n her
!>ow» rose in the air, carrying with
them a number of soldiers holding.the
ropes After itobtifig for a moment: at
a height of fifty feet It rustled for-
ward against a Cluster of' fruit trees.
The impact uprooted them. The air-
ship returned to tin- earth even more
suddenly than it row, and came
crashing to the ground. With a
thunderous report the forward motor
exploded. From the bows of the bal-
loon shot forth a livid flame, while
from the r«-ar escaped thick clouds of
black smoke, which caused the entire
structure to disappear from the view
of the thousanda of spectators. When
Hm air cleared, the balloon was seen
lying in an open field (in a high pla-
teau with only the ragged, tangled
strips of the aluminum envelope. ,still
remaining. The,metal stays atm bands
and portions' of the motors were
s'rewn about irt pieces like old iron,
and blackened with amok" ami
scorched.
Several Were Hurt. ....
Officers rushed forward arid found
that several soldier* had been hurt.
Th<- four engineers who wen- on the
forward part of the ship had escaped
death, but they were raftering from
injuries They were (»!•••(, to a hos-
pital. The men tried when the bal-
loon broke away, to couple up the
motors, ;.<» as to ascend beyond dan
ger, but In this effort they were tin-
auccessful.

Special to Tlie Times.
Hatchifn. N. M . August 5.~
Word has just reached here
that a ranchman named Yar-
bnrage, who lives on the inter-
national line, sixty miles south
of here, killed a Mexican late
yesterday afternoon The par-
ticulars are not known except
that the man cante to Yarbor-
ough’s home and demanded
money and provisions. When
these were refused a fight fol-
lowed in which the Mexican
was shot and killed.
Some fear is expressed lipre
that the man may be part of a
band of revolutionists in this
remote and unsettled country.

ing to investigate.

His head was bowed on his chest and
tears were streaming from his eyes as

(runt of the .shattered mammoth aero-
plane. Then -friends Induced him to
enter a motor car and return to Stutt-
gart whence he left by train for Fried-

An explanation of the accident by
experts is that probably one of tho
halioonetios. of which tin immense
uiveinpe was constructed, burst and
a spark from the motor ignited flic
gas when tlie balloon was carried Into
the air,
Count Zeppelin's secretary said to-
night that tlie count is already pre-
