ment prevails here concerning the re
port that many fishermen have driftet
into Lake Huron on an ice field carried
out of Saginaw bay by the strong soutl
wind this forenoon. The fishing villag'
is 10 miles northeast of this city, and tiv'
miles from land. 1t is estimated that 20'
mel were engaged in spearing fish, ant
first reports are to the effect that all wer'
lost. Toward evening several of thu
fishermen reached Essexville, a suburb
OF this city, and reported that most o.
their companions reached shore in safety
The best authority obtainable placed the
number .of castaways from 20 to 50
Those acquainted with the situation say
they will reach shore before the ice
passes outside of Saginaw bay. In cast
they do not There is no hope OF their being
rescued.
The story of the disaster so far as
known is that during the night the wind
had driven the ice ont toward the lake,
taking with it all fishermen who were on
the foe in their shanties, numbering
about 200 men. They were distributed
all over the bay for miles. Relatives Of
lost men went to the lighthouse at the
mouth of the river and with marine
glasses were unable to see anything but
open water. Later a man proceeded to
Oak Grove on the bay shore and from an
elevation looked through marine glasses,
but could get no trace of ice. A party OF
to the point where the break occurred
and thought they could see floating ice
four miles north. Six of the lost men
managed to get ashore, having been Oh
the eastern portion of the ice. Dennis
Bonnet. who had his house on ice, says
he thinks about twenty men got ashore
on the east side Of the bay, near Big
creek. Others will escape If seas, which
are running mountain high, do moi break
up the ice.
BAY CRY, Feb. "A man named Ben
nett arrived at Essexville ut a late hour
last night and detailed the thrilling ex-
perlence which befell himself and four
teen companions and a horse. They
we're blown II about sixty miles into the
bay ON a piece of ice and when they had
about given up hope the wind changed
and blew them III toward land. On up
preaching a large strip of broken Ice
they left their frail craft and driving the
horse before them over the Ice field, made
way ashore but not before the horse
had gone under and tie men changed
their course at the warning. 1t cannot be
stated definitely as to the extent of the
catastrophe. many people believing that
all the fishermen escaped, while othere
are of the opinion a number have been
lost. 1t is probable a majority have
escaped.
BAY BITY, Feb. S.-No information has
been received from the fish rmen since
8 o'clock. At that time all were safe at
Fish village, near Fish point. No lives
were lost and all fishermen accounted for.
Many thrilling escapes were reported.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5~.-According to the
Journal there is liable to be trouble ovel
the action of the military authorities in
bringing Indians from Pine Ridge and
imprisoning them at Fort Sheridan.
Members of the Indian Rights associa-
ton have been agitating the matter and
talk very strongly of commencing habeas
corpus proceedings for the purpose of
discovering what rights, if any, savages
have. 1t is asserted that there was not
even court-martial proceedings on the re-
moval and imprisonment of the Indians.
The idea of the Indian Rights association

test in the courts the powers of the gov
eminent, and, If necessary, appeal to con
