Run About the Deck of a HTilwauka ae
Ferry Steamer

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 21-It was
learned today that the big car ferry
steamer Muskegon. which plies between
Milwaukee and MuskegOn, had a terri
Bile experience on Monday night. The
steamer had on board a crew Of twenty
nine men and carried twenry-six load
ed cars. The sea was running high and
as the vessel got out into the lake the
gale increased.
When three hours out from this port
a large steam pipe broke and the steer
ing gear refused to work. The vessel
then presented her brOadside to the
waves and she began to roll violently,
and in a few moment one Of her fun
nels was torn loose and went down.
Two of her boilers had to be shut off,
and the assistance of the hand-steer-
ing gear was brought into play. With
the rolling of the vessel some of the
cars became detached, and with the
car deck filed with binding steam.
Captain G. L. Thompson, who COM
mandS the steamer decided that it
would be a useless sacrifice to ask any
of the crew to go below to attempt to
stop the trouble. Every crash of the
cars made the big craft quiver and
great damage was done. After an
hours awful experience, temporary re-
pairs were made and the boat headed
back for Milwaukee. On her arrival
here a railway Wrecking crew cleared
out the wrecked cars.

RUMoR IS PERsIsTENT.
Is the Newly Completed Canon City
Road a Santa Fe LineP

Canon City, Dec 21-There was great
rejoicing here today when the fact be-
came public that the last spike had
been driven in the connecting loop be-
tween this city and the Cripple Creek
district. The company has partially
promised to run an excursion train to
Cripple Greek on Christmas day, but
there is no intention of beginning reg
ular business before the first of Jan
uary.
One of the most plausible stories
afioat is that the new road is to be
operated in conjunction with the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe. Two import
ant moves on the part of the Cripple
Greek line give foundation for this be-
lief. First, instead of making a term
mus at the Rio Grande depot, as was
done at Florence, the track was laid
across the depot round Following
close upon this action purchases were
made giving the company titles to
strip of land extending into the Santa
Fe yards. The Cripple Creek company
claims this is merely to secure easy
access to the zinc lead smelters and the
coal fields. The explanation is not gen
orally accepted, however.

RAPS RIDDLE.
John Breidentbal Takes Issue
With the POpulist Chairman.

John Breidenthal and Taylor Riddle
are having a controversy as to the
number of conventions which the party
should hold next year.
Breidentha1 thinks two conventions
should be held. One for the nomination
of delegates to the national convention;
the other for the nomination of state
officers.
With this view Riddle does not agree.
He wants all of the business disposed
of at one convention. Riddle urges as
a reason that the members of his party
are poor people and can not afford to
spend the money necessary to attend
two conventions.
To this view Breidentha1 takes strong
exceptions. He says:
I am very much surprised to find a
member of our party saying these
things. People have long ago quit talk
ing about the members of the Populis5
party being paupers.
kansas Populists are not paupers;
they are not poor; they own so per cent
of the wealth of the state. I am sur
prised to hear such stuff coming from
a member of the party
That NTr. Breidenthal has long been
dissatisfied with the actions of the
chairman is a fact which has been well
known to his friends.
In further discussing the convention
Mr.. Breidentha1 said: There will be
no lack of delegates to the conventions,
no difference how many may be held
Mr.. Riddle is also mistaken when he
says the money spent for a second con-
ventiOn would go into the campaign
fund. I think the more conventions
and the more enthusiasm we have, the
more money We can raise The fewer
the conventions the less money contri-
buted. That is the rule in the expert
enceS which have had along this line" ,"

the appetite was vigorous and he mas

Hutchinson, Dec. 21.-The people of
Cameron in Kansas and Manchester in
Oklahoma, who have been in some strife
Southern station, are now both knocked
completely out of the box On the new
Santa H'e time card which went into ef-
feet Sunday neither town appears.
In making the new time card the chang
ing of names and stations was left to F.
H. Carpenter, the roadmaster- The Santa
Fe has a rule of not allowing the name
to appear in two places on the system.
To have the same station at two different
locations often causes confusion and the
rule was put in force to have no two
stations of the same name. Mr.. Carpenter
was instructed to treat with the towns
where it would be necessary to change
the name of the station. He could come
to no agreement with the citizens OF
Cameron and Manchester.
When the new time card was made the
first syllable was taken from Cameron
and the nrst syllable from Manchester
was dropped off, the combination of the
letters left of the two towns making
Camchester. by which name the station
is to be known in future.
