FOUND WATERY GRAVES
An Excursion Steamer Wrecked
by a Cyclone on Lake Pc
oria, Illinois
A Number Of Row Boats Also
Lost and Their Occupants
Drowned.
The Loss of Life by the Disaster
Will Probably Reach
Two Score.

PEORIA, Ills, July 13.--The cruel
waves Of the Illinois have borne down
to death score Of persons who were out
enjoying themselves. The frankie Fol-
som, a Pekin boat, started out during
the evening with forty passengers
aboard. A landing was afterward made
and about twenty others joined the
party, so that the passenger list reached
fully sixty. AS the boat came out of the
landing and started down to the city
she was struck by cyclone and turned
over. She was about midway in the
river and sank rapidly. Owing to the
bowling tempest the cries of the passen-
gers could not be heard. The Long
fellow, with seventy-tive passengers
from Kingston, passed her and ran to
the foot Of the next street. Word was
conveyed to the police station, and
Mayor Warner at once ordered every
man to the scene Of the disaster. The
Rock Island also sent special train to
the scene, and small boats were sent to the
Folsom, the hull of which could be seen
when the lake was illuminated by the
vivid lightning. It is known that there
are dozen in the cabin of the ill-fated
steamer. When the boat careened over
her cargo rushed to the sinking side
And Many Were Washed Overheard.
A man who has just been brought off
said he saw several women carried down
and they were cooked to death by steam.
Every time the boat rocked the poor un-
fortunates clinging to the side would
release their hold and disappear in the
waves. The rescuers saw several bodies
floating away which they could not
reach. So far Mrs. Duisdecker and two
girl companions, names unknown, Miss
Cora Fisher, Mrs. Fred Fisher, Miss
Mary Flath, John Aherns, Mary Paeble
and Annie Paeble are the known dead.
Some thrilling stories are told by the
men who have been brought off in the
boats. Sam Sutton missed his wife
when the cyclone struck the boat and
he heard her calling for him as the
cabin filled with water. He dived into
the hold to what seemed certain death
and managed to bring her to the sur
face. For an hour they clung to the
rail and were both saved. William
Hart also went into the cabin and
brought up the unconscious form of his
wife. 1t is thought she will live. The
greatest fears are entertained concern
ing the fate of over hundred persons
who were out in small boats 1t is GER
tain that eight lives have been lost in
this manner.
At this hour the river bank is lined
with crazed friends and relatives of those
who have been lost. There are eighteen
dead in the Folsom according to the
count just made. Only about half of
these will be found in the cabin of the
boat, for the others were swept off the
boat. Two bodies have been sighted
floating through the lower bridge, nearly
two miles from the scene. Whether
these are from the Folsom or bodies of
persons from overturned boats cannot
be stated.

The court then takes the demurrers to
the petitions. The Wyoming statute re-
quires that the county clerk take to his
assistance two Justices of the peace, 'who
shall canvass the precinct returns and
send abstract thereof to the secretary of
state" The clerk and justices differed as
to the counting of the precinct returns, the
county clerk making one abstract and the
justices another. The court holds that the
clerk and two justices constitute "board
of canvassers" and that two justices being
a majority Of the board their abstract is
controlling and should be acceptedand
counted by the state board.
