Aug 22-Eugene Sprague is the second Collins balloonist to meet a violent death within the last month. Last Saturday he was at Racine, Wis. for the purpose of making an acension, and a telegram has just arrived from W. Carrow, his partner, that he was killed by a street car in Racine. Sprague was a daring young chap. His widow who gave birth to a child yesterday, has not been advised of his death.
