IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION.
Five Men Imprisoned In Temporary
Vaterworks Crib Covered with Ice
Short of Provisions.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 25.-Five men
arc imprisoned in temporary water
works crib several miles out in Lake
Erie, and there is much apprehension
felt for their safety. Enormous piles
of ice cover the crib, almost hiding it
from view. No communication has
been had with the men for several
days, and it is known their supply of
provisions is short. Attempts to reach
the crib with a tug have proven un-
successful. The last supply of food
was taken to the crib three weeks ago.
1t is feared the temporary structure
will collapse under the tons of ice
piled upon it.

the rejoinder. Before the little girl could
turn the corner the tramp loomed up before
her and exclaimed: ''I'm sorry, lady, but /

moment had the bottom of it pointed to-
ward the blue sky. The effect was volcanic.

 A Rough Rider is a greater hero in these parts, if possible, than else where. He is lauded and lionized, and DO greater recommendation or praise can be bestowed upon man in either of the Territories than to point him out as a Rough Rider.
