Trapeze star rescued in air St. Louis April Thirtieth

Trapeze star rescued in air St. Louis April Thirtieth.

A twenty-eight-year-old woman trapeze-performer

suffered a sudden paralysis of her left arm,

while doing an act seventy-five feet in the air,

last night, but was saved by her husband before she could fall.

The audience of six-thousand five hundred persons

watched the rescue of Mrs. Eileen Johansen.

Mrs. Johansen was with her husband in the arena dome when she shouted,

"My arm is paralyzed!"

Her husband, who drives a motorcycle in a large hoop,

fastened a rope to her before she could fall.

She was lowered to the ground.
