There is a horrible state of affairs at South
Saltwater, resulting from the efforts of a
gentleman in that place to stop the sale of
liquor there. His object is a good one and
all good citizens agree to this, but the means
that he has adopted seem to be of rather
doubtful propriety. He accuses several par
ties of being in the mob which he claims
threatened to annihilate him, who can prove
an alibi. The mob don't seem to have done
very much in the annihilating line, except
perhaps, an utter humiliation of consid-
cradle amount of South Saltwater whisky.
Yesterday about 11:30 A. M, as the steam
er Helen Schulenberg was pulling down the
lake with raft, and just after having gone
through the pontoon, small sail boat, con-
tanning party of five pleasure seekers, by
some means was turned so as to run directly
int the wheel of the Helen. The second en-
gineer happened to be standing on the fan
tail, and seeing the imminent peril in which
the party was placed, he called to the man
in charge of the engine to stop the wheel.
This was done very promptly, but not until
the small boat had been struck and sunk by
the rapidly revolving wheel. On seeing the
position in which they were placed, DR.. Rob-
erts, one of the occupants of the boat, jump
ed overheard and swan out of harms way,
but the other four, Messrs. Will Wurtleman,
Harry McComb and two Messrs. Comfort,
were drawn under the wheel. A crowd of
their friends soon gathered on the bridge
and anxiously waited to see if they would
be saved. All hope was about
given up, but it seems that
the young gentlemen had presence of mind
enough to dive as soon as they struck the
water, SO they were not struck by the wheel.
1t was long dive, but they all made it safe
enough, and came to the surface all right.
They were picked up by the boats, and
brought ashore, looking rather pale. Con-
sidering the fact that they passed directly
under the wheel, that the steamer was NOV
ing very rapidly, and that the boat in which
they were in was not even lost, it was Won
derfully fortunate escape. Mr.. A. l.. Giles
pie was one of the promptest and most eff
Gent of the rescuers. Several others made
great efforts, and the young gentlemen are
equally thankful to all.
