Maybray Mixer is Neatly
Trapped After Long Chase

William Scott, one of the Maybray crowd
of Mike" workers. was placed in the
Douglas county jail yesterday by United
States Deputy Marshal Claude Hensel of
Lincoln.
Scott was caught as a fugitive from JUS
tice at Falls City. was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Marlay at
Lincoln. and in default OF 5000 bail was
brought TO Omaha for safekeeping
Scott was arrested in Kansas several
weeks ago upon information sworn out by
Postoffice Inspector swenson as being i'm
plicated In the Maybray swindles, growing
out OF a deal with Henry Stogsdall, who
was swindled out OF 5000 by the gang.
Stogsdall did not relish the swindle, part
OF the sum being borrowed money and he
entered a first-class kick. He succeeded
in getting on the trail Of Scott and cor
nered him. StogsdaI demanded the return
OF his lost money and Scott declared that
il had been turned over 10 Maybray and
his crowd, and as compromise he sug-
gested that Stogsdail might get even by
assisting him IN roping some other victim
into the game, providing he would keep
mum about the matter.
Stogsdall entered into the agreement. but

with the ostensible purpose of landing Mr..
Scott when the opportunity presented It.
self. The opportunity came and StogsdaIl
lost no time The result was the arrest Of
Scott in Kansas and his commitment for
using the United States malls for fraudu-
lent purposes Scott succeeded in escaping
from the custody of the sheriff OF the
Kansas county in which he was arrested
But Stogsdan kept busy, as did Postoffice
Inspector Swenson, which finally resulted
in the apprehension of Scott at Falls City
last week.
When arraigned before Commissioner
Marlay at Lincoln, Scott entered a plea Of
not guilty and waived examination, His
brother, Frank Scott OF Omaha, appeared
to go on his bond but the sureties were
not regarded as sufficient and the accused
man will remain in Jail in Omaha until
the federal grand jury at Omaha can IN
Qulre into the DAtter.
Scott maintains that he, too. was vic
tim OF the Maybray gang. and that he
was simply trying TO procure additional
evidence against Maybray and his crowd
of swindlers. But Mr.. Stogsdall does not
subscribe to the proposition at all.

Isaac M. Scott Crashes Into Side Of
John B. Cowle.
.cC1DENT DUE TO HEAVY FOG
Many Members of Crew Unable to
Save Their Lives.
SOME OF THEM PICKED UP
Boat which Caused Accident is New
One and Was Making its
Maiden Trip on
Lakes.

sAULT STE MARIE. Mich, July IA
Three minutes after the steel steamers
Isaac NJ Scott and John B. Cowle had
collided IN Lake Superior early this morn
ing about a mile and a half off White
fish point lighthouse the Cowle had gone
to the bottom In fifty fathoms Of water,
CARRYING with II fourteen members Of its
crew The Scott although badly damaged
about the bows, put back to this port where
it arrived this afternoon with part Of the
crew of the Cowle.
A heavy fog was responsible for the
collision. The Scott. a new boat, on its
maiden trip to the head of the lakes, had
Just passed the light at whltefish point
and Strengthened out its course up the
lake, when suddenly the John B. Cowle
loomed up through the fog, broadside on
to the Scott, and only a few feet away.
The Cowles was downbound with 1900
tons Of iron ore in the hold
Cuts Enormous Hole.
The ships were so close that It was I'M
possibly to avoid a collision and the
Scott crashed into the side Of the heavily
laden Cowle. For Is feet the bow Of the
Scott penetrated the side Of the Cowle.
Tons of water rushed into the great open
ing and in three minutes the Cowle settled
10 the DOttOm OF LAKE oupoIlOt'
Immediately after the collision line
was thrown from the deck Of the Scott
to the forward deck of the Cowle, and
three members of the crew escaped to the
deck of the upbound boat by this means.
The rest OF the crew who were saved
Jumped from the sinking steamer into the
lake, some without life preservers, and
were picked up by the Scott and the
steamer Goodyear, which was a short dis
tance astern of the Scott when the col
llsion occurred. Captain Rogers of the
Cowles was one Of those who were rescued
by the Goodyear and he was taken on up
the lake by that steamer. It is expected,
however, that he will transfer to down.
ward boat and probably arrive at this
port this evening or tomorrow.
Names OF Victims UnIknOwa.
Until Captain. Rogers returns here 1t
is impossible to secure the names Of the
men who perished with the Cowles Sur
vivors say that they include both engin-
eers, the four firemen, four deck hands, the
second cook, porter and an oller named
Patten.
Captain Macarthur of the Scott declares
that the first intimation he had of the
Cowles presence was when the great hull
loomed up through the fog so close to
the bow of his ship that It was impossible
to prevent the two steamers coming to-
/ gether. The John B. Cowles was 446 feet
/ long, 50 feet beam and owned by the
Cowles Transit Co. OF Cleveland. The
Cowle went into commission in 1902
