five Rescued from
Pleasure lduRCh
CHICAGO LIFE SAVERS FIND PAS
sENGERs NEARLY EXHAUSTED
AND BENUMBED WITH
COLD. ...

Chicago, May 23.-Five men were
rescued from the pleasure launch
Commoner, tossing helplessly in Lake
Michigan, five miles northeast of the
mouth of the Chicago river, yesterday
by Captain Charles Garland and his
crew of lifesavers.
The men were exhausted and be-
numbed by water splashing over
them when the power boat of the
lifesaving crew located them in the
darkness. Fol nearly four hours the
occupants fought desperately to keep
their craft out of the trough of the
waves. ....
"You came just about in time
gasped one of the passengers through
blue lips and chattering teeth. I'VE
couldn't have stood it much longer.
1t was pretty tough out here"
Tons of water were being hurled
against the craft when the lifesavers
reached it. The waves were running
high and breaking on the launch. The
five men were busy pumping out the
boat.
"Liverpool" Smith, the owner, said
they had been out on the lake about
six hours. His passengers, whose
names he did not know, had asked
him to take them on a pleasure trip.

ate and house caucus for immediate
reorganization of the congressional

Washburn, N. D., May 24.-Very
little, if any sentiment is being ex.
pressed one way or the other relative
to the case against w. T. Anderson,
formerly clerk in the First National
bank here. who is being held in the
county jail awaiting his trial for the
murder of F. E. Funk, former cashier
of the same bank, who was myster-
iously shot at his home in this city on
the evening of April IA.
Anderson has number of relatives
living at Washburn and in the imme-
diate vicinity, and the people here
have been extremely conservative in
passing comment as to the outcome
when court convenes here on June
9th. There has been some talk that
the case will be taken from the coun-
ty and tried at Bismarck, for the sake
of removing the case from local senti-
ment Judge W. E. Nuessle, now the
trial judge of this district, has his
home at Washburn and it is stated
that he will not sit in this case against
Anderson, and whether or not it is
tried at Washburn, or taken to Bis
marck, he will probably call in Judge
Crawford Of Dickinson.
Tracy Bangs of Grand Forks, and
a leading criminal lawyer of the north
west, has been engaged by the defense
and Attorney Aubrey Lawrence of
Fargo, has been engaged to assist
States Attorney Maennel with the
prosecution.

vice men from Minneapolis have been
working on the case ever since the
murder occurred there have been
practically no new developments. An

to secure a statement of

made the butt of a little Joke
Sunday evening which furnished
quite a lot Of amusement for his
friends. Albert Recht, who was
going to Tolland with his cousin.
Isabelle Wiebelt, Sunday morning
attempted to hand her quarter
which missed her hand and roll
ed into a crack in the station
floor. An attempt was made to
get it with a hairpin by Mrs.
Recht, who was with them, but
the car came in the meantime
and the quarter was left in its
hiding place. In the evening,
Mr.. and Mrs. Recht strolled down
to the station and she again made
the attempt and was thus engag-
ed when BILLY" appeared on the
scene and inquired what was lost.
When told he insisted that the
hole underneath the platform
must be about four feet deep,
and that all effort by prying up
the boards would prove futile.
Mrs. Recht, being a woman, was
not easily deferred from her pur-
pose and asked him to get her a
crowbar, which he did and soon
raised the plank. After a little
search she found the coveted
coin back in little corner high
and dry. The laugh was on
Billy" because they jokingly
accused him of trying to discour-
age them so that he might after
ward get it and spend it. The
situation finally dawned upon
him with such force that he
really felt guilty and begged of
Mr.. Recht not to hold him under
a cloud Of suspicion, and for fear
his honor would be in jeopardy,
Mr. Recht decided to exonerate
him by publishing the joke.
