Dodge City, Kan., July 12.-Harry New, the aeronaut who fell 1,800 feet from a balloon at this place about two weeks ago, is now able to talk and is giving the hospital physicians some interesting and valuable information regarding his experiences during the fall. New says that after he had dropped about 400 feet he looked up and saw that the parachute was not going to open. This is the last he remembers. During the remainder of the fall he was unconscious. He remembers nothing of the terrible impact with the earth, but barely remembers coming tc shortly after the fall while Dr. Casto was bending over him administering a hypodermic. He then became unconscious again and remembers nothing until consciousness began to return in the hospital about 24 hours later. He has been in a dazed condition unti! just recently, but his mind is now perfectly clear. It is probable that he will be paralyzed for life from the waist down. but no internal injuries whatever are expected to result. Old Bank Row Reopened.
