E. A. Aspinwall who arrived IN MI
not from Spokane with his bride We'd

bride, formerly Miss Baker, of Spo-
kane, played on their friends. It was
expected that their marriage would
take place in that city on July 5, and
accordingly their friends assembled
on that date to witness the function.
Ed. had secured his license on the
third and Miss Baker suggested that
they be married on that date and
have a little fun with their friends.
Accordingly, unbeknown to the
brides father and mother and their
other relatives and friends, they
we're quietly married. On the fifth
the wedding feast was prepared and
the friends assembled, and after wait
ing for some time for the ceremony to
take place, were very much astonish-
ed that the big event had already TAX
en- place. The gathering was enjoy
ed not one bit the less.

FORTY-F|vE SAVED
AS STEAMER BURNS
Fifteen Are Rescued After Being
Thrown Into Illinois River by
Breaking of Gangplank.
OFFICERS STOP A PANIC.
Modern Jim Bludso Sticks to Post
After Being Badly Injured,
Then Escapes in Rowboat.

Forty persons, half of them women
and children, narrowly escaped death
the other afternoon when the steamer
fred Swain was burned to the waters
edge in the Illinois River near Peoria.
Two men were seriously injured. With
the flames sweeping over the deck the
passengers became panie-stricken and
threatened to crowd each other into
the river as they fought for places in
row boats, which were put out. To
add to the confusion and danger the
ropes supporting the gang plank were
burned and fifteen persons, most of
them women and children, were
thrown into the water.
The steamer belonged to the Peoria
and LaSalle Packet Company. With
Captain Verne Swain in command it
had left the Peoria port on its way
to La Sale. Twenty-Five passengers
and a crew of fifteen were on board.
At 1920 o'clock the flames were discov-
cred issuing from a stateroom on the
second deck. Captain Swain, realsL-
lis lnoL JlS NcSS6l NdS uOOLACQ,
dered Pilot Martin Huston to beach
the boat and instructed his crew to
deal out life preservers. The smoke
and flames meanwhile had been OBJ
served from the shore and score of
row boats were hurried to the scene.
Women were shrieking and children
were crying as they waited for the
boats to take them away from the
threatening holocaust.
The packet had been piloted into
four feet of water in patch of small
willow trees when occurred the acct
dent that dumped fifteen persons into
the water from the gangplank. The
men and women were. able to make
their way to safety, but four children
who were among them would have
persisted but for two men, who half
carried and half-swam with them to
tree stumps, which protruded from
the water, to await the arrival of the
rescuers. Captain Swain and Engi-
neer Casrider were the last to leave
the boat After guarding against an
explosion, Casrider went to his pumps
and remained there until the flames
licked him about the face and body.
A row boat had been left for him, but
when he finally abandoned his station
the boat had caught fire. He got into
the boat, and, beating the flames from
him and rowing with all his might,
managed to get to shore
The loss is estimated at S35, 900, of
which $4,000 is on the vessel. Several
passengers lost all their personal be-
longings The Fred Swain was built
at Clear Water, Mimi, nine years ago,
and was one of the finest packets ply
ing the Illinois River
