RODE OUT THE STORM
Young Gotta Brothers and Their Sis

for Lost. #
Special to The Journal.

ppoolal TO Inc journal. ~, s. i.
Menominee, Mich, Nov. 13.-After
a twenty days fight with storms on
Lakes Michigan and Huron, two young
sailors of this city brought the schoon-
er Rosebud safe into port after their
craft had been given up for lost.
Gotta, sons of the Rosebud'sa owner.
Their only companion in the long
struggle for safety was their sister,
Angelina Gotta, who acted as cook
aboard the little vessel.
Had the journey not terminated to-
day, the Rosebud's crew would in a
few hours have been without food,
for the galley was emptied to provide
breakfast to-day for the three young
people.
The Rosebud, one of the smallest
schooners on Lake Michigan, depart
ed from Merominee Oct. IS, and four
days later reached Cheboygan, Mich.
where a cargo of cedar posts was put
aboard. Departure for home was
made Oct. Fl. and nothing has since
been heard from ship or crew until
to-day.
A continuous succession of gales
swept the lake, and but for shelter in
the lee of islands, the Rosebud could
not have survived the storms.
Many times the Gotta brothers mar
rowly escaped being washed over.
board. The Rosebud's was probably
the toughest trip of the year for q
schooner on Lake Michigan.

WOULD NOT STAY BOUGHT
Billings 0utbidden in a Contest for
ostofice-Charges Against
Senator Dietrich.
Special to The Journal.

Omaha, Nov. 13.---The grand Jury
investigating the charges against
Senator G. H. Dietrich. after taking
additional evidence from Hastings
business men in relation to the alleged
sale of the postoffice there to Jacob
Fisher, turned it's attention to the
Alma postoffice scandal.
,a.J J. B. Billings, the former incum-
bent. declared he was told by Sena-
tor Dietrich to secure from Elliott
Lowe, a member of the state legisla-
ture, his recommendation, and that
alone would be sufficient for the ap-
pointment.
Billings said he paid $500 for the
recommendation and then was put
aside for one who paid $1,000 for the
place.
Senator Dietrich's friends maintain
that conspiracy is afoot to -discredit
him, anticipating the next senatorial
contest. Witnesses told the grand ju-
rors. it is said, that democrats have
carried Adams county for the last few
elections solely because of the story
of purchased postoffce appointments.
