the face of the paper.
The next day she presented the pa.
per to the Citizens National bank,

ST. LOUIS, July 1.-THE steamer
Cape Girardeau of the Eagle Packet
company, with 100 passengers aboard,
struck a snag in forty feet of water
near Turkey Island, fifty miles south
OF St. Louis, at l o'clock Monday
morning and sank in nine minutes.
1t was the splendid discipline that
prevailed on board the Cape Girar-
deau that prevented panic and a
great loss Of life. The snag causing
the sinking Of the big steamer was
concealed beneath the surface Of the
water. The boat was in midstream
and was moving at high rate of
speed.
Captain Henry w Leyhe was in
command of the steamer and too
much credit cannot be given him for
the manner in which he directed
things after the boat struck. But
for his bravery many OF the passen-
gers would have drowned. All were
rescued.
Two hundred horses, cattle and
sheep, which were on the lower deck
of the Cape Girardeau were drowned
In the seven feet of water where the
boat found rest. The passengers
baggage was saved, but a heavy car
60 of wheat was ruined.
Immediately after the accident Pilot
Stout called to George Reno, chief
engineer, and learned from him that
the obstruction had punched hole IN
the boats bottom.
