DOWN TO DEATH.
A Lake steamer Breaks in Two
Amidships.-Twenty- six
Lives Lost.

Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Sept. l.
The fish tug E. Nj. B A. arrived
down to night having as a passen-
ger Harry Stewart of Algoma,
wheelman, the only survivor from
the mammoth steel steamer Western
Reserve which foundered Tuesday
morning so miles above White Fish
point on its course to Keewana.
The Western Reserve, upbound
left the 500 canal Tuesday after
noon having on board as passengers
Peter G. Minch, her owner, his wife,
children and his wife's sister, the
captain and the regular crew of %
hands. The rest of her short histo-
ry and the sad fatality is best told
in the words of Stewart, who is the
only one left of the ~ souls to tell
the terrible tale:
A TERRIBLE TALE OF DEATH.
"Everything went well until about
60 miles above White Fish when the
first warning anyone on board had
of impending danger was terrible
crash about 8 a. N. caused by the
huge craft breaking in two and
breaking the mainmast about half
way up the rigging. She took in
water fast from the start, and the
yawlboats were lowered.
"Gaptain Myers, Mr.. Minch, his
family and the officers and crew of
the boat to the number of II, got
into the wooden yawl and the others
took the metallic one. The Reserve
sank in few minutes and before
she had hardly gone out of sight the
metallic vawl capsized. The other
went to her assistance, but only
succeeded in rescuing two of her
occupants, Captain Myers sou and
the steward.
''The 19 survivors started for
White Fish, 60 miles away. The
wind was about west when they
started, but veered to the north
making considerable sea. But the
yawl weathered the breeze all night
and until the next morning, when
ABOUT 10 miles from the life saving
station No. 10 and about mile
from the shore, it capsized,
STEWART SWAN ASHORE.
Stewart says that he saw none OF
The occupants after that. He struck
for the shore, but the cries Of the
children, screams of the women and
moaning of the men were terrible
for few moments, when all became
silent.
Stewart was in the water two
hours. He struck shore about 10
miles above the station and had to
walk there before reaching anyone to
render him assistance. A search
failed to find any other survivor oi
the wreck. and there is no question
that they were all drowned. Two
bodies have SO far been washed
ashore.

ABoUT HUNTING nnGS.

practice has grown up IN this city
that cannot too soon be corrected There
are many valuable hunting dogs owned
in the city by gentlemen who have given
much time or have expended money In
the training Of their dogs. When one
has his dog trained It Is an aggrayation
that almost taxes the limit of human
patience to find the dog missing when
the, it may be, rare chance for hunt
comes, or IL you get the dog in the field
to have him stand a rabbit instead of
a bird or flush the game, in brief behave
like a cur instead as well bred dog
should. Yet all of these things have
come TO pass because of the evil prac-
tice to which allusion has been made.
The evil is that boys will, for Il time,
steal the dog and after keeping him
tied up for a few days take him out
for what they are pleased to call hunting,
which means chasing any thing that they
can induce the dog to go after. But
little of this kind Of thing is needed
before the dog is ruined. Nor are the
boys the only ones guilty of this great
wrong for men have been known to do
the same thing. that Is stealing IT,
for time which is a wrong and then
ruin him by careless hunting which is
the greater wrong In u case like this.
There il property in dogs that has
been recognized by the courts and the
dog owners in this city are determined
to protect that property right.
