[PW] aeronaut Leo Stevens?

Hi,
 
   In doing some research on famous balloonist Leo  Stevens, I see that his 
birthdate is not what it should be - i.e. exact. He was  supposedly born in 
Cleveland, Ohio in 1876.
 
  But in 1875, his mother was involved in a lawsuit in Philadelphia to  get 
him back from an adoptive apprenticeship (per Baltimore Sun, Nov 3). He was  
also called "Prince Leo." Thus, he would already seem to be at least a small  
child, several years "before" his birth. Hmmm...
 
  At the library, I came across an interview he gave to the Dallas  Morning 
News, Sept 12, 1892, p. 3, but it was not able to print very clearly.  Does 
anyone have access to a sharper newspaper image which can be forwarded?  Maybe 
that will shed some light...
 
Much thanks - will share results.
 
Allen
