BADLY STORM DRIVEN
TUG CHARM HAS A SEVERE TIME
ON THE LAKE.
SATURDAYS STORM SEVERE.
The Tug, Disabled in the Fog and Storm,
Gets Tow Line from Barge and
Is Taken to Chicago.-The
Crews Troubles.

Tug Charm and her crew narrowly
escaped a disaster in Saturdays storm.
About twelve miles ont in high sea.
enveloped by an impenetrable fog and
blinded by the driving snow and rain
as we'll as chilled by the cold blast, the
little crafs and her crew tossed about
Tor five hours perfectly helpless and at
the mercy Of wind and wave. She
had gone out to her fishing grounds
and was about to return when an acct
dent to the engine occurred that nearly
resulted in tragedy. After almost
two hours of peril, and despair of being
able through the dense fog that sur
rounded them, to attract the attention
of any passing boats, the crew, weary
with their efforts to save themselves
and numbed with cold, discovered the
faint outline of a steamer far to lee
ward. She finally heard the signals of
distress and hauling about bore down
on the storm beaten craft. The lake
ran so heavily that the stranger, which
proved to be the steam barge W. S.
Curry, had difficult task in approach
ing the tug in such way as to be of
any service. At last, however, by
great exertion and risk a hawser was
made fast to the Charms fore tow post
and the attempt was made TO bring her
into Kenosha harbor. The gale would
not permit this, however, so it was de-
cided to head for Chicago. The short
ness of the tow line, together with the
great speed of the barge, if anything,
enhanced the danger Of the tug and it's
passengers. At times she was driven
by great wave way ahead of her tow
and would rest there almost at a stand
still until the big boat Strengthened the
slack in the line with painful jolt
that finally broke the post to which the
hawser was attached. With consider
able trouble the line of the Charm was
attached to it's aft post and made fast
to the stern of the barge. This gave
them almost 500 feet of line to ride un-
der, thus making the danger somewhat
less. But the lines being attached to

of the little boat under water, necessi-
tating the mems using all their
strength and attention in keeping
themselves on board The terrible
journey, which began at IL o'clock,
lasted until O'clock in he afternoon.
When they at last reached Chicago
harbor the storm diiveH crew Of the
Charm wereso feeble With exhaustion
as to be unable to bind their own boat
to the dock.
The tug itself was not badly dam
aged except the piston rod which had
been seriously bent The tow post,
when plucked our, bad struck one Of
the men, William !<!Hender, and
bruised him badly. disabling him fuI
further services. His injuries are not
reported serious. The tug viii be re-
paired at Chicago and probably return

Two Runaways

Sunday seemed to be a day of run
Always. About l o'clock Sunday after
noon the people living around the park
and those who happened on the street
near that place were excited hy run
away which looked for a time as if it
might result disastrously. A white
horse driving a two seated carriage
containing G. B. Sorensen and family
took fright at dog barking at his
heels and in his plunging drew Mr..
Sorensen out of the vehicle. He was
dragged for about hundred yards ia
his efforts to stop the horse and at last
thrown on his face. The reins were
snatched from his hands and the car
riage with it's load went over him. The
horse, then about the middle Of the
street north of the park, turned into
the park and ran through to the oppo-
site corner. A great many people ran
in the direction of the carria&A. expect
ing every moment to see tie women
and children thrown out. Fortunately
the horse made a sudden s"err" when
he reached the road which broke him
loose from the buggy and left its con-
tents safe fha excitement attracted

TRILBY WAS GOOD.
Very Good Company Presents Re-
markable Play

A fair sized house greeted the
" Trilbyn company at the Rhode opera
house Saturday evening. There was
no difference of opinion among the
members of the audience gathered to-
gether to witness the first representa-
tion seen here on the stage of Du-
Maurier's famous novel. The favor
able verdict was unanimous. The
play " Trilby'' is grand success and
will become as popular as the noYel.
The attention of the audience was won
at the beginning and the interest kept
up TO the end. Mr.. Potter has made a
play that fairly teens with action and
dramatic effect. Every situation is
reasonable and natural. There are ne
anti climaXes, no repetition, no tbeat-
rical devices, and the development of
the story is logical and consistent at
all times. A company of admirable
players has been brought together by
Manager Palmer for the Interpretation
of Trilby = Every role is taken by a
competent person and there is an at
tention to minor details that is most
commendable.
The work of James M. Co,ville as
f" Svengali" was remarkable. Miss
Marion Grey as " Trilby" was intensely
real and human and the support was
in every way all that could be desired.
The citizens of Kenosha have every
reason to commend Manager Rhode for
the high class of plays he is treating us
to. He is deserving of much greater
support than he is getting

TOMMY MULLIGAN on TRIAL.
His Alleged Accomplish Gives Evidence
for the Prosecution.

tth Afie&cu AccOmptfce 6ivteS Etiucuce
for the Prosecution.
Tommy Muiiixan. charged with having
broken into the Puget Sound News Com
pany's store on the evening OF November
n last. was on trial in Judge Humes' court
yesterday. The strongest evidence against
him WAS that OF Otto Myers. who has al
ready pleaded guilty OF the offense, and
who had been at one time, as had also
Mulligan. In the employ of the company
whose store was broken into.
Myers story was TO the effect that Null
iigan had approached him I'm regard 10 the
matter: had persuaded him into 1t: had
opened the door with key which he had
and the two together had helped them
selves to the money In the till and In the
managers desk. as well as To a lot OF
cigars. On cross-examination Myers ad-
mitted that he had been an inmate OF a
reform school In New York. from which
he was discharged after coming OF age.
and that he came TO this state by way OF
Canada
Mulligan's story was TO the effect that
he had been drinking with Myers late that
evening and Myers had given him several
boxes OF cigars 10 take care of. alleging
that he had won them in a raffle and had
told him 10 help himself 20 all he wanted.
Muliigan took the cigars home and laid
them on the kitchen table. He subse-
Quehty gave u DoN OF cigars 10 James
Rankin. through which fact hfs arrest
and that OF Myers came about He stoutiy
denied any completely in the burglary.
There were many witnesses who testi-
fed TO Mulligan's good character, includ-
ing members OF the Bureau OF Associated
Charities. for which he worked for a long
time There was also n good deal OF tes-
timony tending 20 corroborate Mulligan's
story and discredit that OF Myers. The
