waiting their turns To cross the branch
of the river on the fiat bottom ferry

own use. The boat. which is about 30
feet long and not more than four feet
wide, would carry safely not more than
a dozen persons, but 20 jumped on. The
stream is not wide. however. and the
hurrying ore handlers had no thought
of danger. The boat was pushed from
the shore and was being propelled
across the stream. When it was about
half way across passing ore steamer
caused swells which upset the boat.
Those who remained on shore at once
threw life preservers and planks to
the unfortunate men, but most of the
poor fellows sank. A few. however,
managed to swim ashore. while one or
two were picked up by tug.

Double Tragedy on Belle Isle.

Detroit's famous Belle Isle park was
the scene of double tragedy which
has several mysterious features 1t
was about a. IN. when two men going
fishing crossed one of the bridges over
a canal on the island. As they glanced
down they saw the body of man
floating in the water. The police were
notified and the body was sent 10
Geist's morgue. in Detroit where it was
later Unidentified as that of Bernard
Wetzel, aged AZ, of 800 Eliot street.
His wife died year ago and since
then Wetzel had been drinking very
hard and had spent all of his money.
About / p. IN. the same day two wo-
men sitting on the bank of the canal
near the same bridge observed the body
of woman in the canal. They gave
an alarm and the police soon had the
body on the bank 1t was that of a
woman aged about so. clad very scant-
lily, without shoes and with shawl
over her head. and she wore a rosary
with two small medals engraved in
French. An autopsy later in the day
showed that the woman was seriously
troubled with heart disease. There
was very little water i'm her lungs.
The finding of the two bodies so near
the same spot and within few hours
of each other gave the appearance of a
murder and "A suicide. or double sui
eide, but there were no marks of vio-
lence on either body. 1t is known that
Wetzel had threatened to suicide and
the most plausible theory seems To be
that Wetzel and the unknown woman
were at the island togo Their when
Wetzel suddenly made up his mind to
end his life. Rushing to the canal he
plunged in, and the woman, being very
excitable, tried to rescue him. but was
attacked by her enemy-heart disease
and tumbled into the water, dead.
This would account for the small guam
tity of water in her lungs. as had she
died from drowning they would have
been filed.

A disastrous fire broke out at Bald
win in the residence of Charles West.
Before it could be controlled, four
acres in the heart of the town were
burned over. The loss will approx
mate $40, 900. The loss falls very
heavy, as the flames robbed many of

That the fire was of iIcendiary origin
is almost beyond dispute. a strong
wind was blowing aud serious
fire must have been contemplated. In
surance companies seldom take risks in
Baldwin and then at a ruinous rate.
