Chicago, Nov. 12.-More than 100
lives may be the toll OF the gale
which, beginning on Saturday night
and Sunday and Monday, swept the
great lakes.
In addition to these possible fatal
ties, five inland deaths due to the
blizzard have been reported.
The tail end of this blizzard which
ragged over the lakes and swept path
of destruction through Ohio and on to
the Allegheny mountains, has about
spent itself.
The storm appears to have caused
the most damage in Cleveland, Buffalo
and Pittsburgh.
Telegraph and telephone lines out
OF the snow covered districts are
crippled, street car service in the big
cities is chaotic, poles and wrecked
street cars litter the streets, and
drifted snow makes walking and driv-
ing unsafe
Fatalities are reported from La
Crosse, Wis. Peru, Ind; Cleveland,
o., and Washington, Pa, which prob
ably will be augmented wnen COM
munication is again normal.
A train of 100 passengers, including
Senator Cummins of Iowa, was stalled
In the snow near Washington. Pa. The
passengers, after eighteen mealless
hours, were rescued by farmers when
the storm abated
Port Huron, Mich, Nov. 12.-The
greatest lake tragedy of the present
year doubtless has occurred in Lake
Huron as a result of the terrible gale
which prevailed all Sunday night.
About eight miles north Of here
huge steel freighter has turned over
and 1t is presumed that every member
OF it's crew of possibly forty men has
gone to the bottom.
Just what ship it is is not known.
Marine men think the boat may be an
ore carrier, which became uncontrol-
liable in the storm and shifted it's
cargo.
The capsized vessel is one of the
modern types of steel freighter, about
COO feet long and lies in about sixty
feet of water.
