La Crosse. With 1900 ex-
La Crosse, June 27.-With 1900 ex-
~cursionists on board, the Acme Packet
company's big steamer J. S. caught fire
in the Mississippi between Genoa and
Victory, and, although the steamer
was burned to the waters edge,
prompt action Of Captain Streckfus
in Bleaching the boat when the first
alarm was sounded, saved nearly every
person on board.
The steamer brought 1000 people
from Lansing, Iowa, and 500 from in
termediate points to La Crosse, leav-
ing here on the return trip at 6
o'clock. The boat caught fire when
two miles above Victory, Wis, just op.
posite Rad Axe bend, the blaze break
ing out of the lower works close to
the boiler-room.
Putting on full speed Captain Streck.
fus headed the boat direct for Bad Axe
island in mid river, which fortunately
was only a short distance away. Be
fore the general alarm was sounded
the vessel had grounded on the sand.
1t took only a few minutes work to
get the passengers off the boat. The
crew worked valiantly to control the
excursionists, and although there was
a rush to get of the boat, sufficient
check was held on the crowd so that
only one woman was seriously injured.
A few minutes after the steamer
had been cleared of passengers and
crew it was a mass of flames and rap
idly burned to the waters edge. The
excursionists were stranded on an is
land 500 feet long and 800 feet wide and
a few launches and row boats from
Victory and nearby hamlets made
slow Roadway in getting them to the
mainland.
Hundreds of people jumped into the
river when the steamer j. S. ap-
preached the island, many from the
top deck and sustained injuries, some
of them of a serious nature.
Mrs. Emma Randall of New Albion,
Iowa, jumped as soon as the alarm was
sounded and drowned. The three men
who persisted were locked up in the
hold forward, having become disorder
ly. 1t is believed that they were
burned to death.
At least a dozen women tossed their
babies to members of the crew who
were in the water near the bank fol.
lowing them a moment later, to be
dragged from the water in safety.
Jack Page, boat policeman, caught
six babies in his arms, and rescued
nearly three hundred who Ieaped
shoreward into the water.
Mrs. tombstone Meyer of Lansing
was trampled upon and fatally injured.
Joe Coyle of Lansing slid down a
burning stanchion and both hands are
badly burned. Mrs. John Joseph of
De Soto and DR.. Meyer of Lansing sus-
tanned broken legs. Mrs. Gus Keep
pier of De Sofa ~sprained an ankle.
The boat was valued at $50, 900 and is
a total loss.
