DIE IN THE WATER.
Eagle Lake, Ind, IL the Scene OF a
Yachting Disaster.

Eagle Lake, Ind, 10 the Scene OF
Yachting Disaster.
The hundreds of cottages on the shores
Of Eagle Lake, Ind, were shocked be-
yond measure the other evening by the
announcement of the overturning Of
sailboat and the drowning of two Of the
most popular young ladies at this resort,
Miss Georgia Coulter Of Chicago and Ber-
tina Yarnelle of Fort Wayne. The news
flashed through the grounds in an instant
and scores went to the beach, where the
sad news was confirmed.
These two girls, with Miss Eunice,
daughter Of f. w. Munson of Chicago,
went for n ride in small sailboat with
John Nj. Coulter, Jr., and William Gray
Of Chicago. The boat capsiZed off Var
nelle's point, half mile from shore and
a mile and half from the landing. Coul-
ter saved Miss Munson, but the other two
girls were drowned. Miss Yarnelle was
tangled in the rigging, but Miss Coulter
sank in ninety feet of water.
George Ritter of Warsaw, a fisherman,
fastened to the scene of the accident in q
rowboat and William Scheimer, the park
boatman, arrived about the same time.
They found Coulter and Gray exhausted
by repeated diving for the missing girls.
The survivors were brought in and an
other rescue party went out at once in a
steamer. Scheimer, after finding Miss
Yarnelle's body so entangled in the rig
ging that it had to be cut loose, dived for
the other girl until he was so nearly
drowned that only prompt medical assist
ance saved his life. The body of Miss
Yarnelle was taken to her fathers cot
tage and several doctors worked for hours
to resuscitate her, but without effect. Pro-
fessional divers recovered the other body.

BRINGS A TON OF GOLD.
Arrival of Ship Drives Seattle Pco-
plc stark Mad.

Arrival of Ship Drives Seattle Pco-
pie stark Mad.
No wonder Seattle has gone stark, star
ing mad on gold. The North American
Transportation Company's steamer Port
land reached that port Saturday from st.
Michaeis with at least a million and a
quarter in gold dust rs freight and sixty
eight miners aboard. Some of the miners
have with them $4,000, and not one of
them had less than $1,000, every dollar of
which has been taken from the Clondyke
within the year, and most Of these men have
claims in that fabulously rich region that
almost beyond doubt will net them hun
dreds of thousands more. In the captains
cabin were three chests and large safe
filled with the precious nuggets, most of
it taken out of the ground in less than
three months of last winter. In size the
nuggets range from that of pea to
guinea hens egg. One peculiar feature
Is that the big strikes were made by ten
derfeet," while the old miners of many
years experience, after suffering in
describable hardships and privations in
Alaska and the Northwest Territory,
have only few thousand dollars to show
for their labor. Fortune seemed to smile
on the inexperienced men who went into
the mining districts late last year, as
nearly all OF them were the most fortn-
nate.
