fortunates-It Is Feared That
All of Them Will BE
Drowned.

NIarinette, Wis, Jan. 16. AT 1880
O'clock Friday afternoon strong gale
sprung up and the ice in the bay sud-
denly and without warning began to
move out. Within ten minutes there
was wide space between the moving
ice and the shore. A number of fish
ermen were seen running hither and
thither on the moving ice, frantically
waving and signaling for help. AT two
o'clock two boats were manned and an
attempt was made to sail with the wind
and reach the moving ice iloe.
Five Still in Peril.
All but five of the imperiled fisher
men got ashore in safety. but five alc
believed to be on their way to death in
Green bay. They were caught on the
floating ice and did not realize their
danger until they We're returning home
at dusk. The names of the probable
victims are: Ed Hoffman, Nels Mat
son, Charles Neelan, Manuel Holgren
and johnson. Three of them have
families. The men were unaware of
their peril while the ice on which they
stood drifted rapidly eastward. They
We're several miles from the break be-
fore rescuing parties in two boats
started after them. One of the boats
returned at four o'clock with no news
and the second rescuing party is in
great danger. No aid can reach the
drifting prisoners for hours. All Of
them live at Kenekaune, where the
piers are lined with people waiting for
news. The ice was believed to be safe
because team passed over it to Stur-
geon Bay three days ago. Hundreds
of people will be deprived of their only
means of support by the loss of the
nets, which were placed on the broken
ice. There is one hope of safety for the
occupants of the ice foe in the fact
that they had skates on and may reacl,
the opposite shore. The fishermen say
the only chance of their colaborers is in
reaching Green island.

a Call for $4,000.

Another development of the First
National Bank disaster appears this
week. The Comptroller of the Cur
rency calls upon all its stockholders to
put up $4,000 This is the full limit
of their liability. This means every
holder of single share must pay in
500 to help the liability to depositors.
1t is as much as to say that the assets
will not, as Mr.. Easton most positively
asserted, at first, meet the obligations
to depositors. Step by step the fact
is leaking GU that the bank has been
insolvent for three years or more past,
and the cause of it's death is rotten
ness at the heart, caused by specula-
ton of its active managers. The full
facts are not disclosed, but they will
all come in time.-Decorah Republican
