George Sheldon and Companion Make
Trip Out on Lake With Leaky

Friends of George Sheldon, son of
George W. Sheldon, 2536 Seventh ave-

experience in connection with the dis
aster at the crib in the lake at Chi
cago Mr. Sheldon was on the STORY"
for the Chicago Daily News, and was
able, by daring the dangers of a trip
out TO the crib, to get a big scoop
for the paper, and also to have a part
in the rescue work.
He was one of the first to reach the
shore of the lake and see the burning
crib. The lake was rough and the
waves tossed high. The seething wa
ter was filled with huge cakes of ice
and it seemed that no small boat could
withstand the pressure, and there was
none at hand but a rowboat Finally,
Sheldon and another reporter, also
with the Daily News, offered a man
$40 to take them out TO the crib in a
rowboat The offer was accepted, and

theater, and made az pronounced hit
because of her very original and
charming personality. When first
dramatized from the book and pro-
duced at the Boston theater about five
years ago, IT scored an immense sus-
cess, and the critics were unanimous
in pronouncihg it "a strong emotional
play fun of wholesome comedy and
quaint wit, that appeals to an old
theater goer" Therein was the secret
OF the success of Miss Petticoats." 1t
pleased the old habitue of the theater,
who is looking for a new sensation,
and found in this original play that
pungent, spicy atmosphere which is
themselves, where the play was laid.
No more interesting scenes can be
imagined than the shores of an Old
whaling port like New Bedford, where
the quaint cabin home of derelict
whaler. Agatha Renter. called Miss

grandfather, made her home, until

from that set to the artistic circles OF

she creates a sensation, and finally re

with their lives in their hands. The
ice soon cracked the seams of the
boat and water poured in. Sheldon
was kept busy bailing out the boat
with his hat, while the other reporter
did his best trying to keep the ice
away from the sides. When they got
near the crib they found landing inn
possible, because of the intense heat,
and return was out of the question,

Muscatine, that refugee of basket
ball for these many years. has finally
gone stale. Last night the athletic
board of Company c which has one Of
the best teams in the country, got to-
Sether and figured out that the game
cannot be made to pay any longer. So
it was voted to close the season and
disband the team. Company C has met
some of the best teams in the country
at Muscatine this season and had

With Honors Fairly Even.

Billings, Mont, Jan 2S.-The Tony
Caponi-Eddie McGoorty fight here was
a draw after 20 rounds. Honors were
even until the 18th round, when Cap

blood. During the last five rounds
Caponi forced the fighting, but both
men came up strong in the goth round
and went in for knockout. No decis-
ion was rendered, but the genera.

grandest record of continued ana
profitable support of this season in
Chicago, Walker Whiteside and his
distinguished company in The Melt
ing Pot" have passed the Tooth pre-
sentation of the play in the city So
great has been the patronage tina.
when this play finished the original
three weeks engagement at the Grand
opera house it was transferred to the
Chicago opera house. The result has
been that the play is now in its eighth
week at the Chicago opera house and
is still drawing capacity houses. Mr.
Whiteside's acting is highly dramatic
langwill has written play without Il
word to disturb The most eXacting and
Chicago has shown its desire for such
productions nowhere more signally
than in the continuous patronage dur
ing this run. Liebler and company
who are the responsible managers of
this production, have given TO Chicago
in The Melting Pot the second big
Sest dramatic success in the history Of
the local stage. Their production OF
last season, THE Man from Home,
broke all records for long runs in
Chicago. NThe Melting Pot" this
years production, began its Chicago
engagement about the same time
early in October. and bids fair to run
until late in the spring. Unofficial an

Pot is in its last weeks and that thu
engagement will close about March L

for the timber on the other side of the
bend in the river. l was beginning to
feet a bit winded, and was not sorry
when further angry yelps and growl-
ing showed that the cub had again
been brought to bay. Getting up as
quickly as possible, | found that the
dog had been having rough time of
it. He was scored badly down the
side, and instead Of being white
terrier was CHASTITY red one, though
for the time being it did not appear
to inconvenience him much. He was
vigorously barking and jumping
around a lot of loose boulders, among
which the leopard had evidently taken
refuge. l could not, however, induce
him to go in, and although I have
had several good terriers for this kind
of shooting none of them cared to go
to ground after such game. l began
to fear l should have to give him up,
but got together a lot of the driest
heritage l could find, and making
couple of squibs by extracting the
powder from two cartridges, | went
to work to try and make him bolt,
as his cover was not very large. Cut
ting as long stick as l could find,
l took a page out of my pocket diary
and rolled the squibs in it, binding
them to the thin end of the stick,
which 1 bandaged thickly round with
dry grass and leaves for yard or
more, and then pushed it in where the
leopard had entered and ignited it
well all around, also heaping more
dry stuff about the opening so as to
make as much smother as possible.
The smoke soon began to escape from
the crevices, though the leopard did not
appear to take any notice of it; but
as soon as the fuses began to fizz and
sputter, it was more than he could
stand, and out he dashed, almost up
setting me in his rush. l had, how
ever, picked up my carbine and fired
at him, just as he was disappearing
into the cover. l distinctly heard the
pat of the bullet and WIS about to
follow, when l saw that the poor dog
demanded my attention, so picked him
up. The scratches we're ugly ones,
and / could see that if did not at
