Wrecked Near Newport.

The steam schooner Minnie E.
Kelton, from Aberdeen with a cargo
of lumbersfor San Francisco, foun-
dered in the heavy seas caused by
the storm last Friday, while about
eight miles wouthwest of Yaquina
bay.
Eleven of the crew were drowned.
Capt. McKenna and nine of the
crew were saved.
Capt. McKenna and eight of the
crew passed through on the train
Wednesday morning, the ninth
man who has broken leg is lying
at the home of Andrew Wisniewski.
The dead and missing are: Wal
ter Peterson, oiler; Barney McVey,
fireman; Svend Peterson, steward;
R. w. Little and George Johnson,

Kaskesen, and Andrew J. Nielsen
who had his leg broken just above
the ankle
Friday the vessel encountered
strong winds which increased in
fury as the day passed. The vessel
shipped large amounts of water and
labored heavily as the seas were
running high. When point
southwest of Yaquina was reached
the deckload of lumber shifted and
the vessel started to fill, the pumps
were started but proved unavailing,
as the water was pouring in too
fast. The fires were soon extir-
guished and the Kelton was at the
mercy of the waves and storm.
She drifted to a point off Otter
Rock about a mile and half where
she was anchored.
The captain ordered the lifeboat
lowered, it being large enough for
the entire crew, but just as they
got it in the water the deckload of
lumber was swept overheard with
eleven of the crew, six more of the
crew got away in the lifeboat five
of them reaching the shore alive
while one of them was drowned.
one of the men to reach the shore
alive had his leg broken while in
the surf by being struck by tim
Der.
Sunday afternoon the lifeboat
from the Newport Lifesaving Station
rescued those remaining on the
wrecked vessel, who had suffered
greatly from hunger, thirst and
exposure.

poor to build another house and un-

defender of Port Arthur, in prison.
Here is what he writes:
Two cold blue eyes examined me

that the commander of the fortress Of

to accord me leave to see the noble
man Stoessel."
The gate in the high stone wall waa
opened and a soldier appeared. He
then showed the way to the reception
room in one of the buildings in the
court beyond.
We had not long to wait for Stoes
sci. Principally at one o'clock he
came into the room. He was dressed
in black frock coat, his voice was
weak and he looked older and more
wrinkled than when he was on trial
few months ago.
