his lantern and was drawing back to
strike again when he (Pryor) struck
fim with the stone. Pryor exhibited
bad bruise over his left temple which
/ he said was caused by Booth striking
| him, and he said he was simply pro,

it is possible to place it in the sheds
at Humboldt. A platform has been
built and locomotives are still being

FIXES THE BLAME.
Responsibility Placed Upon Own
ers of the Steamer Bon
Voyage.

At Houghton, Wednesday, the
coroner jury in the case of the
drowning OF the Altman family dur
ing the burning of the steamer Bon
Voyage in Lake Superior Friday
night OF last week, returned ver-
dict that the Altmans were drowned
while attempting to escape from the
burning steamer. and that the
disaster was due directly to the
wlllful negligence Of the owners of
the vessel in not taking necessary
precautions against fire and for the
safety Of the passengers.
The fire started when the boat
was two miles from land and seven
or eight from the canal. The boat
was dry, and the fire gained such
headway that ten minutes after tho
first alarm the bell cord was burned
off. Capt. Foley explains the loss
OF the passengers and the escape of
the crew by saying that the lost
ones were aft while the crew went
forward, SO that when the fire spread
the seamen could do nothing toward
helping them.
All the bodies of the drowned per-
sons have been recovered.
