on HER SECOND TRIP ]
New Steel Steamer Cypress Lost
on Lake Superior.
TWENTY ONE DEATHS RESULT
Entire Crew, With the Exception Of
the Second Mate, Perishes in
the Disaster.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Oct. 12.-
The steel steamer Cypress, owned by
the Lackawanna Transportation COM
pany and on her second trip down the
lakes with cargo of ore, was
wrecked in Lake Superior off Deer
Park, about thirty miles from Grand
Marais, and all of the crew of twenty
two excepting the second mate were
lost. He was washed ashore near
Deer Park, dashed to liferaft and
barely alive. He is in a critical con-
dition and thus far has been able to
tell only that the steamer was the
Cypress and that he is the sole sur.
viyor. He is being given careful med
ical attention in the hope that his
life can be saved He has suffered
terribly from cold and exposure in
addition to battering of the waves
Two bodies have washed ashore at
Deer Park.
A careful patrol of the beach is be-
ing made by the lifesavers in the
search for bodies.
The last payroll Of the steamer
Cypress was aboard the boat and prob
ably was lost. This alone can give
the names Of the members of the
crew, according to the officials Of the
Lackawanna Transportation company
The September payroll gives little in
formation, as there are usually many
changes on lake vessels between trips,
especially among the fremenr and
deckhands.
Caused by Sudden Leak.
Further details of the disaster seem
to indicate that the laundering of the
ship was due to a sudden leak,
through which the waters rushed with
such volume as to overcome all efforts
to keep the vessel afloat The steamer
George Stephenson Of the Pittsburg
Steamship company, while locking
through, reported that she had passed
the Cypress several hours before the
accident. A red streak was distin-
guishable in the water behind her, in
dicating that her plates had been
sprung and that the iron with which
the ship was loaded was discoloring
the water
Captain Harbottle says his vessel
passed within $50 feet of the Cypress,
so close that he was able to see that
the matches Of the latter ship were
not covered with the customary COW
ering to keep out the water A heavy
sea was running and the decks of the
Cypress were continually awash with
the big combers that broke over her
rails. The water poured into the hold
through the matches so rapidly that
the pumps were unable to keep the
vessel afloat
The Cypress was a new boat A.
feet long, with capacity of 7,400 tons.
1t is believed here that the machinery
of the Cypress must have met with
an accident, as the northwest storm
was not severe enough to wreck such
a strong ship.

MRS, CHADWICK DEAD.
Passes Peacefully Away in the
Ohio Penitentiary.
NOT EVEN A FRIEND THERE
Only Prison Physician and lis Attend
ants Present When Famous Pris-
oner Breathes Her Last.

Columbus, o., Oct. 11.-Mrs. Cassie
Chadwick, whose amazing financial
transactions eliminated in the wreck
ing of an Oberlin CO.. bank, is dead
In the woman's ward at the Ohio peni-
Tertiary. No friends or relatives wait
ed at her bedside; only the prison
physician and his attendants. Her
son, Emil Hoover, had been summoned
from Cleveland, but did not arrive un-
til after his mother was dead.
The decline in Mrs. Chadwick's
health began almost from the time
she entered the penitentiary on Jan.
~, 1906, sentenced to ten years i'm
prisonment. She worried about her
troubles until it became almost impos-
sible for her to sleep.
Mrs Chadwick was a healthy look
ing woman when she came to the
prison, but she gradually wasted away
and had lost fully thirty pounds at
the time of her death. Her last i'll
ness dated back about three weeks.
The physicians declared Mrs. Chad
wick was the victim of total nerv-
GUS collapse.
Mrs Cassie L. Chadwick, whose
maiden name was Elizabeth Bigley,
was born in Woodstock, Can. She
| first came into public notice in To-
ledo, o., twenty years ago, where she
| told fortunes There she forged the
name of Richard Brown Of Youngs-
town, o. and for this crime was sent
| to the penitentiary at Columbus for
nine years.
Twice Married in Cleveland.
She served but portion of the sen.
tence and then located in Cleveland,
where she married man named
Hoover. Her second husband was DR..
| Leroy S. Chadwick of Cleveland, a
man OF good family and excellent
| standing in his profession.
In 1902 Mrs Chadwick, in the pres
ence of her husband, gave ri Rey-
| nolds, cashier Of the Wade Park bank,
| Cleveland, box containing notes
signed with the name of Andrew Car
| negie. These forged notes are alleged
to have amounted to s7,500,000. Rey-
holds gave to Mrs. Chadwick re-
ceipt for the paper Mrs Chadwick
left with Reynolds, as an explanation
of the existence of the notes, the
statement that she was a natural
| daughter of Carnegie.
With the receipt Mrs. Chadwick
went to different banks and many
capitalists, making loans and paving
not only high interest to the banks
but heavy bonuses to the bank Off
Gals who loaned her the money.
These transactions ran into the mil.
lions. They involved men of high
standing in the financial world and
caused heavy losses to many banks.
The body of Mrs. Chadwick was
turned over to her son, who had made
arrangements for interment at Wood
Stock Can.

An Only Daughter
Cured of CONSUMPTION

When death was hourly expected, all
remedies having failed, and DR.. H.
James was experimenting with the
many herbs of Calcutta, he accident
ally made a preparation which cured
his only child of consumption. His
child is now in this country, and en-
joying the best of health. He has
proved to the wor]d that Consumption
can be positively and permanently
cured. The Doctor now gives this
recipe free, for two 2-cent stamps to
pay expenses. This herb also cures

William A. Martin, recently convicted

with the Pittsburg and Tube City rail
road scandal, declared that no other
councilmen were implicated and none
was to share in the $4,000 which he
was to get for securing the passage
of the franchise ordinance Martin
made an interesting statement in
which he asserted that corruption in
councils is almost wholly due to cor
porations putting temptations in the
way of members, the great majority
of whom, Martin says, were elected
with honest convictions and motives. .
He declared that councilmen have
been offered money, and that recently,
by rival corporations to vote both for

that it requires members of the strong

Mr. Wright was frightened and re-
treated at rapid rate to his home,
where he sought his shotgun, but his

buildings which will have floor space
of fifty acres, or equal to the floor
space which could be covered by the
monster machine shop at present in
operation at the shops. President VIM
chell of the railway stated to Silvis
citizen last week that much additional
building would be done this summer at
Silvis and he stated that when the car

total force of 5000 men who would be
employed in the railroad shops alone.

PLEADS NOT GUILTY
G. L. EhIers Case at Mason City to Be
Heard April 15-Was Cashier of Late
Defunct Bank Of Thornton-cIear
Lake Damage Suit of $500,

Special to Times-Republican.
Mason City, Jan. CSC. L. Ehlers
cashier of the late defunct bank OF
Thornton. was arragned in court yes
terday, waived formal arrangement
and plead not guilty Of the indictmen!
of fraudulent banking. BY request o.
his ATTORNEYS which was acceded to by
the county attorney, the trial OF NJ
Ehlers will not be heard this term but
was set for April To-. There is much
sympathy for Mr.. Ehlers owing to MS
youth and from the fact that he was IN
the bank at Thornton but few months
prior to it's failure. He comes from
one of the most reputable and highly
esteemed families in the county. HIS
father, Fred Ehlers, banker at Plym-
outh. is regarded by those who know
him as a man of great worth of char
acter and integrity. Mr.. Ehlers VIII
likely return to the coast during the IN :.
terval of his trial.
The first case in court is that OF Ger
no Gordo county against the Bank OF
Thornton in which the county is seek
ing a judgment against the bondsmen
of the bank for about $4,000 alleged to
be the amount of money belonging to
the county in the bank at the time OF
it's assignment. This case however
will be tried without jury but it is
believed will consume considerable
time. There are other suits pending
against the bank which will very large
ly serve as guide of action of attor-
neys in other cases.
Clear Lake has damage suit of ST.
500 brought by David futile who al
leses that on account of defective side
walks he received permanent injuries
which probably will come up this term.
