PER|LS OF SEA
ATLANTIC LINER MENOM-
INEE STORM-SWEPT.
FORCED TO TURN BACK
The Passengers Were
Badly Frightened.

Falmouth, Eng, Dec. 13.-The At
lantic transport liner Menominee'
which sailed from London on Decem-
Der 3 for New York, and which was
due there tomorrow, put in her today
in a disabled condition after an expe-
rience that will not soon be forgotten
by those on board.
She encountered head winds and
heavy seas right from the start and on
December z, while proceeding under
full steam, ran into storm that
caused large waves to sweep her deck
and compelled Captain Lucas to order
all passengers to remain below decks.
While the storm was at its height, a
smashing noise was heard and a shock
followed that caused the big steamer
to tremble from stem to stern. Al
most Immediately the engines stopped
and the vessel lay helpless in the
trough of the sea.
The passengers We're badly frightened
for few minutes but were soon re-
assured by the officers and attendants
who told them that slight accident
had taken place, but that there was no
danger
Investigation showed that the rud-
der head had snapped off and that the
steering gear was useless. Captain
Lucas decided that the damage was
of such a nature that, while the ship
was in no great danger, prudent meth
DDS made it necessary to put back, and
this was done the vessel being steered
by her engines. Owing to the state OF
the weather 1t was necessary TO pro-
ceed very cautiously and it was de-
cided to make for the nearest port,
which was Falmouth.
This port was made today and the
agents of the line in London were at
once notified They directed that the
IL first cabin passengers on board be
sent to Falmouth by rail at the COM
panys expense. From there they will
be forwarded to New York on the first
steamer that can be secured.
The Menominee carries only first
cabin passengers.
THE FIRST NEWS.
New York, Dec. 13.--The first inti-
nation that the afficers of the Atlantic
transport received of the accident to
the Menominee was given to them by
a representative of the Publishers
Press tonight. They stated that the
vessel was due here tomorrow and mad
been scheduled to leave mere for Lon
don on next Saturday.
Nothing was known as to what ar
rangements will be made to secure a
vessel to take the disabled steamers
place on her next east-bound trip.

In the mysterious death OF Harry e.
KilleD at the Hotel Ihunla yesterday
morning, strange tale of double liv-
ing of a wife's affection through a
long period Of base deception on the
part of her husband, and the cruel
alienation of mans affections from

story:
Two years ago | met with an ac-
cident which crippicl me, necesstating

band has refused TO, take me with
him to the various social functions
which he attended and spurned my
love. making me miserable. This con-
tinued for several months and rumoTs
began to circulate that he was keep
ing company with other women. At
evening found him attending dance
with another woman. Two weeks
later he ran away with this woman,
leaving me a note stating that he had
ficulty and did not know where he
gone away on account of financial diff
was going.
''In a couple Of weeks ne returned
and told me that he had secured a
position travelling for an electrical
company. Since then ] have received
number of Letters from him dated
in various cities, and not until three
weeks ago did learn that he was in

cording to his wife, from one of these
organizations he embeXzled funds
After he ran away Mrs. Killen was
confronted with these debts, and
mortgaged the household furniture to
pay off the debt and keep her hus-
bands name from shame. Within the
past couple of weeks Mrs. killen re-
ceived letters from her husband say
ing that he would send for her soon.
Living in the hope of happy reunion,
she was eontented, when suddenly the
hopes were shattered by the news that

Willy FARMER
TRICKS A LOT OF oRRvILLE
HUNTERS NEATLY.
THE FINES IMPOSED
We're to Have Been Di.
vided With lnforner.

Game Warden Dangeleisen made a
pilgrimage to Orrville and scooped in
some law breakers and incidentally
some coin, which latter seems to be
the chief mission of the game protec-
ors. According to the rumors that have
reached Canton, some sly old farmer
down near Orrville on Thanksgiving
day kept tab Oh an army Of hunters
who crossed his farm in quest of game
on this great National holiday. He
the warden, who went with great speed
to the scene of action. Warrants were
sworn out for a lot of the fellows and
when they saw they were up against
II they confessed to the fact that they
had hunted without a permit and they
cashed up.
The second lot, however, was not so
easy. They got word in some way
that the willy farmer who sat on the
fence with smile of qualification on
his face on that THANKSGIVING day and
gave silent acquiescence to the hunt
ers, was getting rake off out Of the
fines that we're imposed Saturday a
bunch Of IL hunters VINO were brought
up before a justice at Orrville decided
that instead Of paying up they would
go to jail, and then get even with the
farmer afterward.
AS a result Of this decision the ac-
cused hunters, IL or more in number,
were taken 10 Wooster, the county seat
and placed in Jail to do time.
1t is said that there is great indig-
nation among the hunters in and
arornd Orrville and there are threats
of tar and feathers for the farmer
who SO neatly tricked them. No blame
is attached to the game warden. He
did his duty, but the farmer Is coming
in for all the abuse.

Jack Frost and Southern Breezes Co
quoting With Each Other-Like
Boarding House Hash.

podtoU'S E'ouoS E'dSUs
The possibilities of the Ohio climate
were exemplified Saturday night and
Sunday by the rapid changes in The
temperature and the various kinds of
weather that were dished up between
sunset and sunrise. Saturday was
warm and what snow and ice was left
by sun was dissipated by the in.
fluence of a warm rain which came
upon the bosom of southern breeze.
Those who had corns and rheuma-
tism, however, looked wise and pre-
dicted that something would be doin'
before long 1t was not long coming.
Those who were out late Saturday
night went home through driving
sleet storm; those who went later were
met by snow and almost zero weather.
Sunday was cold all day and Sunday
might the coolest of the year, the ther-
mometer getting down to 10 degrees
above zero at l o'clock Monday morn
ing.
The blizzard that swept over the
western country doing great damage,
struck Canton in a slightly modified
form. 1t struck the southern breeze
that had been cavorting about for
some time Saturday and it took a lit
tie Of the surplus iciness to put that
breeze in cold storage.
The sudden storm left the sidewalks
and streets in bad condition for walk
ing, but froze the ponds and streams
and gave the skaters a new lease on
life
