CREW ALMOST STARVED.
Men Are Rescued After Long Fight
to Save Vessel.

Galveston, Texas-The story of the
narrow escape of the crew of the
schooner Noble Simmons from death
at sea of starvation was brought to
this port Saturday by Capt. Young of
the Mallory Liner San Marco. Pro-
visions were supplied the Simmons
after she had drifted helpless for days
and the crew had been without food
for five days.
Bound from Porto Rico to Balti.
more, the schooner encountered heavy
seas and head winds, which tore off
much of her rigging. Repairs we're
impossible in the heavy sea running,
and 1t required the constant effort Of
every man to keep the vessel afloat.
When food gave out the men contin-
ued their labors. They had about
abandoned hope when the San Marco
saw their distress signal and furnished
relief.

all of Winnipeg; Augustus We'll, cook,
Selkirk; Norman Fisher, assistant
cook, Selkirk.
The boat was anchored at a pier
when fire started in the engine room.
The flames spread, enveloping the
boat. Despite the valiant efforts Of
the crew, the blaze spread beyond
control of the men. The passengers
were caught unawares, and those who
persisted were caught in their state.
rooms and cut off by the wall of fire.
The wind carried the flames to the
pier, and with it several buildings
were burned.
The boat left Winnipeg Monday for
the extreme northern end of the lake,
carrying 3S people. News of the ca
tastrophe did not reach here until
Saturday, when a steamer brought the

JUDGE KILLS WIFE AND SELF.
Body in Charge of Sister Whose ri.
vorced Husband Is Near Death.

Fairfield, Ill.-A message to Mr..
and Mrs. William Browning says
their daughter, Mrs. Rose Brown
ing Swanson, had been shot and in
stantly killed by her husband, Judge
A. E. Swanson, at Ishawooa, Wyo. The

at West Baden Springs, Ind, ten days
ago. He cannot live to see the arrival
of his wife, it is thought, who has ex
pressed a desire to see him.

BOMB WRECKS A VIADUcT.
New $4,000 Structure in Cincinnati
Destroyed, Three Hurt.

Cincinnati.-The $500, 900 Harrison
avenue viaduct vas destroyed Thurs
day night by a dynamite bomb,
which, it is suspected, was placed un-
der the structure by a disgruntled en-
ploye.
Three persons we're injured, two
men and a little girl, but not fatally.
Windows were broken in all of the
nearby houses. Two columns were
blown out and much of the roadway
destroyed. Twisted steel was thrown
in all directions and many persons had
narrow escapes. Near where the
bomb exploded are several street car
lines and it is considered remarkable
that a car was not hit.
The yiaduct would have been turned
owe to the city Sept. 1, as completed
by Granger & Co., of Louisville.

Blind Tom," noted a generation ago
as a musical prodigy, died last month
in the home of the daughter-in-law OF
his old master, for he vas born a slave
near, Columbus, Ga. When a boy he
amused the household by initiating
the cries of birds and the sound of the
wind and rain. He had a marvellous
memory, and could play any musical
composition which he heard. 1t is said
that he could play one melody with his
right hand, another with his left and
whistle a third at the same time. Yet
with all his musical gifts, says Youths
Companion, he was intellectually a
child living in the care of guardians.

NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH.
Passenger Train on Peoria G st.
Louis on Burning Bridge.

Springfield, Ill.-Fifty passengers
on a Chicago, Peoria & st. Louis
train, bound from Peoria to Spring
field Friday afternoon, narrowly
escaped death on a burning wooden
bridge which spanned a high en-
bankment. Engineer Nolan and Fire
man Winn, rounding a sharp curve
saw that the bridge a short distance
ahead was on fire. Engineer Nolan
put on the brakes, reversed the en-
CINE and let loose the sand. When
they saw they could not stop the
train before the burning bridge was
reached, both engineer and fireman
jumped and rolled down a 60-foot en-
bankment.
The baggage car and locomotive
ran fifty feet, where the rails spread,
when the locomotive toppled over,
leaving the passenger cars safe. The
baggage car caught fire and burned,
but the passenger coaches were not
damaged much.

Walked Into River, Drowned.

Keokuk, LAWN. O'Blenness, as
sistant engineer on the Keokuk &
Hamilton bridge, walked through
the door of the engine room into
the river early Tuesday morning
and drowned. Employees had left the
bridge open after a boat had passed
through for the purpose of cleaning
the engines after the work was
done. O'Blenness evidently forgetting
the open door, stepped out and dis
appeared. The current at the draw
is the swiftest in the Mississippi and
the body has not yet been found.

FIVE CENT FARE IN CLEVELAND.
City Adopts This Policy to Overcome
Monthly Deficits.

Cleveland, Ohio-Five-cent cash
fare with three-cent tickets short
ly may be put into operation by
the Municipal Traction Company as
the result of a caucus Friday of the
majority of the city council with
Mayor Johnson. This policy is said
to be the result of a deficit in the
operation of the street car system of
CleT Gland which, a few months ago,
was taken over by the Municipal, a
holding company to be operated on a
straight three cent basis. Officials of
the Municipal are said to favor the
new rate until prepay" cars are in
use, when it is anticipated practically
all cash farec will be collected. The
deficit, it is said is largely due to the
free transfers inaugurated some time
ago, on trial.

COWHERD LEADS
BALL BY 1886
REPORTS RECEIVED FROM NINE,
TY-FiVE coUNTIES-BALL'S
VOTE 66,751.
FULKERSON IS VICTORIOUS
St. Joseph Man 17,0co in Lead Of
Gentry in Fifty Counties.
Judgeship Race Close.

st. Louis.-With returns from nine
ty-five counties in the state, embracing
all the principal cities and towns,
Cowherd leads Ball by 1886. In the
ninety-five counties, with scattering
returns from eight or nine counties
that have not yet given a complete re-
suit, Cowherd's vote is S3,646. Balls
vote in the same counties is G6, Isl.
Wallace has 1889 and Stapel 16,246.
This does not mean that Cowherd
will heat Ball by approximately $1,000.
Every additional county yet to hear
from, with the possible exception of
four or five, will give Ball a plurality,
unless Wallace should get n or two.
The counties yet to give complete re-
turns are. Cedar, Christian, Craw-
ford, Dent, Douglass, Grundy, Iron, La
fayette, Maries, Miller, Oregon, Ozark,
Pemiscot Putnam, Scott, Shannon,
fancy and Texas. In all of these
counties not more than two-thirds OF
the vote cast for Folk in 1904 was
cast Tuesday. This vote follows:
Cedar, 1852; Christian, 1912; Craw-
ford, 1919; Dent, 1908; Douglas, 592;
Grundy, 1926; Iron, SIT; Lafayette,
5000; Maries, 1917; Miller, 1920; Ore
gon, 1349; Ozark, G22; Pemiscot, 1878;
Putnam, 951; Reynolds, 1893; Scott,
1908; Shannon, 1919; fancy, GA;
Texas, 1868.
May Cut Cowherd to 10000.
This combined vote was 1889. 1t
is safe to say approximately $4,000
votes were cast in them. OF this num-
Der Ball should receive 10000, Cow
herd about 5000, and Wallace about
5000. The Stapel vote in all will be
light. On this basis Cowherd's lead
of 10000 would be cut to about l 2 1000,
possibly a trife under.
1t will readily be seen that Cow
herds home city saved him from de-
feat, and it is possible the same may
be said of st. Louis, SO low will his
plurality be. Eliminating Kansas City
and st. Louis, Ball has carried the
state by approximately 1000.
The vote of Hadley, Republican can
didate for governor, in sixty-three
counties reported 1924. Despite the
fact that the Republicans polled a
light vote, Hadley will have consider
ably over 100, 900 when the count is
all in.
Gentry Badly Beaten.
That Fulkerson has beaten Gentry
for candidate on the Republican ticket
for attorney general there is now on
apparent doubt. In half Of the coun-
ties Fulkerson is 1909 in the lead.
This majority is too great for Gentry
to overcome, and it is extremely
doubtful if he will even be able to cut
it down.
Court of Appeals Race Close.
For judge of the st. Louis Court of
Appeals Reynolds, Republican, has al
most certainly won. On the other
hand, Bryan. Democrat, is close to
Bland, and may finish a victor, despite
the earlier reports,
For railroad and warehouse commits
sioners there is hardly any doubt that
Wilder and Knott are the candidates.
Knott's plurality is expected to reach
5000 to 10000.
Bradley has no doubt Vol out owe
Gordon for auditor, although the re-
turns are still incomplete, and the
counties not reported might change
result.
Cox and Graves are the nominee for
supreme judge.
