MARINETTE. Wis, Jan. 15.-Be-
tween thirty and forty fishermen were
swept out into the lake on an ice hoO
this afternoon. At 1:3O p. m, strong
gale sprung up and the ice In The bay
suddenly and without warning began
to move out. Within ten minutes there
was a wide space between the moving
ice and the shore. A number OF fisher-
men were seen running hither and
thither on the fast moving ice frantic
al:y waving and signalling for help. AZ
o'clock two boats were manned ana
an attempt is to be made TO sail with
the wind and reach the moving fee
foe.
The danger to tho fishermen is much
worse than Mt first supposed. The Ice
broke about mile and half from
shore'aud is now over four miles away.
The worst feature is that the sheet OF
Ice which is taking them oway aver
ages no more than three inches m
thickness, and Il heavy wind should
break this, every man would drown be
fore help could reach them One jis
boat and several small ones are now in
pursuit OF the moving ice,
