WOODWARD VS.. PECK.
A Wisconsin Row Which Should

A Wisconsin Row Which Should
Be Stopped.
WEST SUPERIOR. Wis.,, Sept. o.
Mayor Woodward and r. l.. Belknap
returned from New York this morning
and this afternoon meeting of the gen
eral relief committee for fire sufferers
was held. One of the chief features of
the meeting was the discussion of Gov.
Peck's manifesto to the effect that no
outside help Is required for fires suf-
ferers so far as Wisconsin is concerned.
and Mayor WOodward's action In New
York OF engaging the influence of the
Herald and the active mayor of. that
city In general call for funds. The
governors action rather threw damper
on Mayor Woodward's zeal, and doubt
less great many people who are inter
ested to know do not understand which
authority to heed. The general relief
committee Of this city, which Is acting
without state lines, criticised the
action of the governor at its meet
ing today, and the opinion was
expressed that he had acted without
efficient investigation into the re-
quirement Of fire sufferers. Mayor
WoOdward's action was unanimously
approved. and the various newspapers
and others whom he had seen in the
East were notified to that effect by tel
egraph. Mayor Woodward tonight tel
egraphed Gov. Peck asking him if he
had investigated the needs Of the fire
sufferers in this vicinity, and, if SO.
what steps were being taken. Seven
teen hungry and exhausted fire suffer-
ers reached this city today. and were
cared for. The cash contributions to
the relief fund by Superior citizens Is
now more than $4,000.

A TRAGIC DROWNING.
Sergeant Whitehead, Who
Was in Charge Of the
Silver Statue,
MEETS A SAD FATE.
Goes to the Bottom Of Lake
Minnetonka, Near Haunt
ed Cross.
NEWS OF A SUNDAY
Sermon by Rev. Wilkinson
Nora Sexton Again--Co.
Fs Victory.

There was tragic drowning yester
day at Lake Minnetonka, near Big
Island, and within the shadow of the
Haunted Cross. Sergeant Whitehead, of
the Butte City, Mont, police force. who
has been in the city for several days
in charge of the silver statue on exhi-
bition at Olson's, was the victim. He
was one of a party of three. but he
alone, the strongest, bravest and best
swimmer, went to the bottom. A slight
ripple Of the water and his water-soaked
hat floating along on the choppy waves
marked the place where he sank.
Whitehead was an ardent hunter and
fisherman. Since his arrival In the city
he expressed desire on several occa-
sions to pay visit to Lake Minnetonka
for a fish and hunt. Yesterday morning
Henry Hellieson, shipping clerk en-
ployed at OlsOn's. and Mr.. Oftedahl, a
clerk employed at the Minneapolis Dry
Goods house. The three went to the
lake on the first train, and during the
day enjoyed themselves in fishing about
the lake, most of the time being within
short distance of the treacherous
shores of Big Island.
At about 1880 o'clock in the afternoon
the three men were fishing at point
directly opposite the island, and from
where the Haunted Cross was plainly
visible. They were several blocks dis
tant from shore when a sharp gust of
wind swept over the boat. The light
craft was overturned in jiffy. and the
three men found themselves preciri-
tated into the cold water. Whitehead,
supposing all could swim, struck out
for himself toward the shore. Hellieson
and Oftedahl made for the boat and
gained it. They saw Whitehead swim
ming shoreward with bold strokes. and
then another gust of wind struck them,
and in the daShing of the spray they
lost sight of him.
A few moments later they saw White
heads hat floating along with the
waves. They shouted for help, and a
number of boats of various kinds put
out from shore to the rescue. In one Of
the boats was Victor Welch, the attor-
ney, and Prof. Cross, of this city.
Whitehead was nowhere to be seen. He
had gone to the bottom
HelliesOn and Oftedahl were brought
ashore. and searching party set about
to find the body of the unfortunate po-
lice sergeant. Up to late hour last
night it had not been recovered. 1t is
said that nobody that goes down near
the Haunted Cross is ever found again.
The police of Butte were notified last
night of the tragedy. Whitehead was
regular member Of the force, but was
off on leave of absence and had full
charge of the silver statue.

THE POKEGAMA DEAD.
Rev. Wilkinson Finds a Lesson in
the Recent Terrible Disaster.

Rev. Wilkinson Finds a Lesson in
the Recent Terrible Disaster.
There was large attendance at the
Lyceum theater yesterday afternoon,
the occasion being lecture delivered
by Rev. William Wilkinson. The ter
rible fire tragedies in the northern part
of the state formed; the theme of his
discourse. He told how the dead were
found in the Pokegama district, what
was done there, paid high tribute to
MIR. Markham. DR.. Higgins. Mr.. Kelsey,
of Kenyon, and DR.. Kelsey, of Poke
CANA. for what they did, and to the
people of st. Cloud for their kindness.
He described in graphic words how the
dead we're found, he being present at
three discovered, and reading the serv-
ice over the remains of nineteen bodies.
The speaker said:
ut is the Office Of the clergy to min
lister to all need, and to point the moral
of all the teachings of Providence. We
are not to say, as some are saying, this
is Judgment upon the wicked, for the
people III the burnt district were Just
as good as are the people in any other
part of the state. Saint and sinner, the
man who said his prayers, the man
who did not, all Jared alike. There is
no saying just how such calamities tit
into any just thing of Providence; for
explanation we have to wait They do,
however, show US how much there is
of goodness held in common by men
who, In ordinary times. appear to have
prominent differences = the Catholic
priests, Methodist ministers. Anglican
rectors. all stood side by side, said the
same prayers. felt like sympathy and
exercised the same trust in the same
God.
This disaster has shown, too, how
much greater is man than goods; life
than property. How much money has
been lost has not been the question, but
how many persons have lain down their
| lives in the fire? How much good can
| we do the sons and daughters of sorrow
| who have lost those near and dear to
them? These are the questions of alb
sorbing interest. In this, humanity is
| gloritied, and men of every condition
| have We'd with each other in doing
every possible service. This is as it
ought to be. The fire has stamped upon
the minds of men. written it in fame,
burned 1t in the earth, that all the
things of the world are passing
away. In an age when the lust
of gold is supreme. with many men this
lesson is needed. The things of eternity
| in all their value have been set forth
before our eyes. Ii men are not made

ONCE MORE MORAL
The Notorious Drunkard Falls
From Grace Again.


From Grace Again.
Nora Sexton has fallen from grace
again! Once more the workhouse angels
will sing "Oh, Nora, Come Nora, to
Me-" She was brought to the police
station yesterday disgracetully drunk,
the 40Oth time in her life that such a
condition was her own. Officer Cronin
brought her to the lookup, having
arrested her in an Eighth avenue south
colored dive. Nora Sexton is we'll
known III police circles, and has quite
record for the number of times
she has appeared in the municipal
court and the number of days
she has spent in the city workhouse.
She has just been released from the
latter institution, and tomorrow she
will again probably help to fill the
wagon which is so well known to the
w0rkhouse habitues. A number of we'll
known people about town were interest
ed in the woman, and some time ago
sent her to a gold.cure institute, but
their efforts were in vain. for as soon as
she left the Institution she went back to
her old habits, and ever since the habit
has grown upon her until she is total
wreck. She is fairly we'll educated and
very Intelligent talker.

THIS Is TERISIBLEi
A Scandal Which Involves the
"Denh Swell BOYS"


A terrible scandal is brewing in swell
society circles. 1t is not whispered in
the best circles, but the fair women
who constitute the shrine at which
"sassiety' worships are not bashful at
all about talkin, over the terrible de-
tails whenever they find all open ear.
There are no frail maidens involved in
this scandal. either. 1t dates back to
the first of the recent series of ball
games between the Minneapolis and st.
Paul society young men, on which &C.
casion the Minneapolitans treated their
vanquished foes to a wine supper at the
Minneapolis club after the game.
The repast was quite sumptuous
one, and the bill when brought in was
$50. What did the players do but pay
the expenses of this supper out of the
proceeds of the ball game, which had
been advertised as for the benefit of the
Northwestern hospital and the Home
for Children and Aged Women. OF
course the young men did not divide
what was left after the lunch was paid
for. but the ladies questioned the pro-
priety of inviting people to benefit
ball game for charity, large share of
whose proceeds goes to wine supper
Tor the young men who play.
