The battle for life,
What is the use to fight for fame,
To cringe to Ambitions demands.

To have loved and suffered is much,

Yesterday Have Been Saved.

Marinette, Wis, Jan. 16.-Nothing waf
heard of the lost fishermen until this
morning and at least i've are supposed tc
have been lost. A number are known TO
have reached Green Island and stayed
thSre last night. Others are said to hav.
landed 6 Chambers Island.
boat brought in several fishermen,
who we're supposed to have been drowned,
early this morning. Another boat, seen
headed this way, is thought to be bring
ing other fishermen home.
Fears are felt for Theodore John
son, of Sturgeon Bay, formerly vice
president of the Menominee River Shingle
company. He started from Menominee
yesterday morning to skate to Sturgeon
Bay and nothing has been heard of him
since.
At noon to-day all doubt as to the
safety of the fisherman was removed.
Manuel Holgron, Charles Nylund, John
johnson and Otto Larsol came across
from Green Island in skiff and report
ed thst they had left six others ON the
island who will be brought over in the
Lighthouse Keepers boat.
As soon as the fishermen felt the our
rent in the bay changing yesterday after
noon they knew that danger was ahead
and most Of them headed for the island.
All arrived safely but Ed Hoffman, who
was being borne away on the ice when
the boat went out and rescued him.
The most remarkable escaps was that
of Sam Lund, who got to shore in his sled.
He was far out on the bay and put up
twenty seven feet of canvass and literally
skinned over the slush and cake ice and
jumped cracks four feet wide before
reaching the strong ice. He was drenched
from head to foot.
