Aeronaut Hague Drowns.

Frank Hague, an aeronaut, better known as ‘‘Zeno,’’ was drowned in the city water-works reservoir at Lima, O. Hague was in a parachute and balloon race with C. M. Hawley at the county fair grounds and was about 1,200 feet in the air when the drop was made. Hawley landed in a private yard near the reservoir, while Hague landed in the middle of the big reservoir and was drowned. He became entangled in the ropes of the parachute.
