OFFICER AND FAMILY DROWN.
Heroic Attempt Of Private Smith to
Rescue Was in Vain

Key West, Fla. July 1.-THE naval
tug Osceola. sent by Capt. George
Bicknell, commandant at this station,
to the Dry Tortugas Saturday evening,
returned here yesterday morning,
bringing the bodies of Capt. George w.
Peck, his wife and eighteen-year-o old
daughter. who drowned at the Tortu-
gas about o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The official account of the accident for
warded by Capt. Frier. of the United
States navy. commanding the station,
forms a tale of heroism of the highest
order.
Captain Peck, in command of the
collier Mae, with cargo of coal from
Newport News for the government, arr
rived several days ago. Desiring to
give his family sail in the harbor Of
the Tortugas, he took his wife and
daughter and. accompanied by two
marines from Fort Jefferson, Corporal
Gologly and Private Smith. to assist in
handling the dingey, started on what
promised to be pleasant excursion.
The party had scarcely crossed South
Garden Key, when sudden squall up
set the frail craft, throwing, the five
occupants into the water. Private
Smith, who was the only one who
could swim, succeeded by herculean ef-
forts in getting his companions back
on the boat, which had turned bottom
side up. AS one by one they dropped
off from exhaustion. due to clinging to
the slippery bottom. Smith would swim
words of encouragement try to instill
new life.
The test OF human endurance. how
ever, was soon reached. The captains
daughter lost her hold for the last time
and sank from exhaustion before as
sistance could reach her again. Her
body was carried away by the strong
current. Captain Peck was the next
to go. His wife, who had struggled
hard to retain her hold on the slippety
keel of the dngey, already had sunk
once when she was caught by Corporal
Gologly, who held her at the risk Of
his own life, when two marines, who
had been fishing In the vicinity, came
to their assistance. but too late.
Private Smith was hauled aboard
more dead than alive. Corporal Col
ogly with one hand holding on to the
Shiny keel and the other grasping the
lifeless form OF Mrs. Peck, was next
rescued. Captain Peck's body. face
downward was found floating a short
distance Off while the body of the
daughter was discovered about an hour
afterwards drifting with the current
towards the gulf The capsized dingay
was lowed ashore.
The arrival of the bodies here yes
tarday morning onst q gloom over the
entire city. Flags are at half mast
over the public buildings and on the
shipping harbor.

Both Cattle and Hogs Decline
In Spite of Good
Demand.
SHEEP sTEADY-LAMBs LOSE
The Undesirable Grades of Cattle suf-
fered the Worst DecIine-Receipts
of $4,000 and $4,000 for Hogs Were
Too Much For Eeven The Good De-
mand That There Was

Chicago, July 11.--Cattle-As an
ticipated there was a good run of cat
tie today, arrivals being in the neigh-
borhood of $4,000, with a good demand
at prices largely steady, with some I'M
desirable lots selling S4l0 lower.
Conditions in the range countries
are reported favorable. cattle are in
reasonably fair condition and improv-
ing nicely. 1t is no more than rea-
sonable to anticipate the arrival of a
few small shipments of range cattle
during the latter part of this month,
but it will be Well into August before
the movement of these cattle will be-
come of considerable volume.
The feeder trade is not in condition
to hurry owners to get to market with
such stock. Values have not changed
much lately, but the demand is so
limited that anything like liberal re-
ceipts would soon result IN putting
prices on lower level. Toward the
first of August there should be some
to go back to the country.
Hogs.
Receipts today were 46,Gs0, and al
together there was good general de-
mand, with the prices down 5q1o, ow-#
ing to the big supply.
Within the week just passed There
has been marked widening out in the
quality of hogs coming to market. The
quality is not bad as vet, in fact there
is liberal proportion Of prime finished
stock coming, but at the same time
there are more half-fat grassy hogs
and old brood sows coming. and there
has been resultant spread in the
range of prices that will not be apt to
narrow down, in fact, will get wider as
the season advances.
Sheep.
About 10000 were marketed today,
and with good general demand prices
were steady for sheep, but % off for
lambs.
There was good action in the mutton
all of last week All kinds We're
wanted. Receipts we're light and prices
on up grade. The closing basis OF
values has been very high for this sea-
son. Feeder trade has opened auspi-
ciously and breeding ewes are in good
demand to go south. Buyers OF both
classes have been unable to ill orders.
The whole market Isl now on high
level and a break looks logical 1t re-
,eipts increase materially, consequent
" country shippers will do well to eX-
,rcise caution. Range stuff is not yet
freely but will constitute a
steadily increasing proportion OF re-
eespts from now on.

Boyle's Story.
Boyle. when seen at the hospital, had
revived greatly and was able to give
clear account of what happened. He
said that with a companion, James
Han,lin, he had for a few days been
cooking his meals near the fair
grounds, not having the price to pay
for his board. 1t was while on his way
to prepare his MONDAY meal that the
assault took place He says he saw a
piece of wood in a box car, which he
thought would help furnish fuel for his
fire. and started to get it. On getting
into the car he saw James, who WAS
lying on the floor, and who, he says.
was drunk. Boyle claims James arose
and asked him ii he would not give him
something to eat, to which Boyle re-
piled that he wasn't feeding tramps.
With this James sprang UP, pulled a
big knife and slashed at his throat.

James denied being implicated, as did
Wilson, Altho BOYLE says Wilson was
near the spot. The latter says he saw
and knows nothing of the trouble.
