issued yesterday:
The tropical storm is moving
slowly west by north over Eastern
Georgia At Z a. m. 1t was central
somewhat to the east and south of
Macon. Its progress over the interior
is slow, attended by diminishing
winds. Rains are widespread, how
ever, with moderate wind squalls. The
rain area covers the greater portion
of the Southern states, rain is noted
also over Northern and Western dis
tricts.
"The moderate cool wave is pushing
eastward rapidly, particularly over
the northern tier of states, and as a
result is DETECTING the Southern storm
from it's normal path, which ordlnar-
lily, would be more northerly than its
present position indicates. The cool
weather is being felt in the central
valleys. and to the upper portion OF
the Cotton States. The winds are
variable on the Atlantic coast, and
mostly northerly on the Gulf coast"

OCEECHEE WAS In
MIDST OF STORM
STEAMER PUT INTO THIS PORT
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
IN DISTRESS.
She Was Caught in the Gale Of
Charleston and After Steering Gear
Went Wrong Was at Mercy of High
Seas for Many Hours.

The steamer Ogeeche, Captain Han
company, arrived in port yesterday in
distress, having been struck by the
severe gale Sunday afternoon while
between Charleston and Savannah.
The steamer was bound from New
York to Texas City with a general
merchandise cargo.
For hours the steamer, which was
formerly owned by the Brunswick
Steamship company, was at the mercy
of the high seas, but all the men,
bers of the crew stuck to their re-
s,tctive posts, and after the steering
scar had been put out of business
by the rocking of the ship, the men
Went to work and made another, but
this took them some little time and
While the work was in progress the
ship fioated about at mid ocean.
Captain Hanson, to a News reporter
last night, said that the wind was
blowing at a velocity of fully 100 miles
81 hour and ragged for many hours
lie said the storm came up very sud
denly and caught vessels at sea be-
fore they had time to prepare for the
gale.
After the temporary steering gear
had been put into service Captain
Hanson decided to put into this port
for repairs, and the ship will be here
for two or three days. A survey will
be made this morning and the steamer
will probably go to the plant of the
Farker Hensell Engineering company,
where the necessary repairs will be
made.
Captain Hanson stated that he did
not see any other vessels in distress
| during the trip on down after r.
gale except one schooner, which pass
ed him while the storm was raging.
The Ogeechee formerly made regu-
lar trips to this port and the COM
mander has large number of friends
who will be clad to learn that he ar
rived in port safe.

Lnemen at Once Put to Work tc

The only thing that kept Brunswick
from being entirely cut off from the

that one or two telegraph wires were
in working order.
All the long distance lines were
down for time, while most of the
telegraph wires were also put out of

Brunswick, where the storm did prac-
tically no damage, but in other sec
tions.

that all the wires will be in working

Sheriff Ter Haar of Jackson coun-
ty is believed to be hot on the trail
OF the two "yeggs" who blew" the
safe in the postoffice at Heron Lake
early Saturday morning. He is now
in Sioux Falls where he has under
surveillance two men who took their
departure from Heron Lake on the
westbound Omaha train which pass
ed through that village at 1920
o'clock Saturday morning.
These men are said to have
mounted the "blind-baggage'' az
Heron Lake and rode as far as
Brewster where they purchased tick
cts to Sioux Falls. They arrived in
the latter place. at 1880 in the morn
ing. One of the men went to a
rooming house where he remained
until one o'clock yesterday after
noon. His pal hung around town,
and he was under the eye of police
officer all the while.
Sheriff Quick on the Job.
Sheriff Ter Haar was notified Of
the safe-blowing as soon as the
work Of the 'yeggs" had been dis
covered. He lost no time in getting
learned of the departure from Heron
Lake of the two men on the blind
baggage of an Omaha train and
traced them to Sioux Falls, where
their actions are now being watched
with hope that enough evidence
can be secured to connect them with
the Heron Lake trick"
The men could have reached
Heron Lake at two o'clock Saturday
morning, looked in upon the dance
that was in progress at that time
and satisfied themselves that those
who were enjoying the function
would not be likely to leave until
later. From the dance hall the
"yeggs" could have proceeded to the
postoffice and completed their safe
blowing job without molestation and

For st. Peter, Johnson played the
best game, making all the scores,
while on the Mankato side the
scoring was more generally divided

four from fouls.
A crowd of fully 200 people were
