Mr.. Harvey Brown, the business partner of
Mr.. Rand. sent notice to WayZata by Col.
Charles w. Shepard. announcing that he
was prepared 10 offer reward of 500 for
each body found.
Mayor Rand was man with marked in
ventive genius" remarked near and per-
s0nal friend of the deceased, yesterday.
''He has invented much of the machinery
now in use in the gas works and it
has been pronounced by the most cOmpe-
tent judges as FAR superior TO any they had
ever SEEN"
The submarine divers did good work, too.
The boat lay in about sixty feet of water,
nearly covered with mud, rendering their
operations difficult. Wilkes McDermott
made three dives. Emshaw four. BuStead
four and GundersOn one, the length of the
dives varying from ten to thirty minutes
each.
Capt. A. G.. ErnShaw. the veteran sub
marine diver. had narrow escape from
death. In making his third dive the breast
plate of his arnor burst just as he came to
the surface. Had the accident happened
when lie was at the bottom of the lake the
consequences would surely have baen fatal.
IL. J. Burton of the Plymouth Clothing
house. Minneapolis. was out in a sail-bOat
win q party w lAACuuS CulllllN dliClnOOu
and saw the Minnie Cook of Big island.
He noticed the signs of the coming storm
and put into a harbOr safely.

SHE WAS sEAwORTUY.
1.-THE Minnie Cook was a SeawOrthy
craft" said Gen. Flower in answer to a
GLOBE reporters question, yesterday, ''and
her machinery will be found to have been
in good condition, or. at any rate, it was so
at our recent inspection. There were. how
ever, more persons on board than the size
of the boat warranted or than is allowed, and
an agreement was made when we inspected
the boat that but eight should be carried
at time, and We ordered the owner to pro-
vide life preservers for only that number.
1t is probable. however, that this made no
difference yesterday. as the waves were so
powerful that had there been but half as
many on board as there were, she would
| probably have gone down. IT is probable
that the pilot. in making an attempt to put
| in shore allowed the storm to catch the
craft OH the side and she instantly tipped,
filed with water and sank"
