trolley tracks a muddled heap of
broken, crushed, bleeding humanity.
Pale faced men hurried to the spot
where both boys lay unconscious,
breath coming in gasps. Tenderly
they were cared for. DR.. Lore has
tened TO their relief, but his practiced,
professional eye noted instantly that
no human skill could help either of
them.
Demaris' head and face was crushed

protruded through the skin. Southard
was not so badly mutilated, but there
were horrible gashes in face aud head
and several bones were broken. In
fifteen minutes Demaris was dead. In
half hour Southard had expired. Both
bodies were taken to a nearby under
takers morgue to await removal to the
Millville homes.
The machine was so badly broken
and twisted that it is probable no eff

Reckless Riding Was
Cause of the Accident
w. L. PrObert DcmariS and Louis
SOuthard Ride HeadlOng TO
Death on CedarVilIe
Street.

Two young men, mere lads, paid
with their lives, for reckless and dar-
ing riding upon high powered, mad
rushing motorcycle.
The victims of the tragedy which
excited and caused gloom in the beau
tiful village of Cedarville, were w. 7.
Probert Demaris and Louis Southard,
of Millville, young men about 20 years
old.
The accident occurred just before
three o'clock yesterday afternoon and
the lives of the motor cyclists were
snuffed out in almost an instant.
Brtlash continued in rhe body of each
young man from Is to 80 minutes re-
spectively, but from the moment the
wildly running machine crashed into.
a great maple tree, the boys were al
most shapeless, bleeding masses, and
mercifully unconscious.
Young Probert Demaris was for
mer resident of Cedarville. He has
brother, Charles Demaris, employed
by George Diament in Cedarville, and
Ross Demaris, of Cedarville, is cou-
sin. For a year or more Probert De-
maris has been living in Millville.
Yesterday he, with Lewis Southard
borrowed a machine from Charles
grocery store, in Millville, and togeth-
err. upon the machine, rode over to
Cedarville. They spent some time
there and during the interval Probert
had his brother Benjamin upon the
rear seat of the motor cycle. Then
Southard climbed upon the seat, more
gasoline was secured from Fred May
hew's store, and Probert, who was
driving the machine, hustled through
Cedarville going north.
The motorcycle was Harley David
son, twin cylinder machine. Some
where on the Cedarville road north of
the dam, the cycle was turned south
ward and Demaris put on full power
Approaching the Corson garage and
the Grace grocery store, Demaris reck-
lessly turned on the full power of the
machine. 1t was evident to those who
were gathered about the business
places that Demaris had in mind show
ing the remarkable speed of the ma
chine Some of the spectators say that
the motorcycle was climbing the
grade at a speed of sixty miles an
hour. 1t is probable that the machine
was making thirty-fve or forty. But
it was dare devil, reckless pace, the
flying cycle going like the wind as iU
leaped about the sharp curve of the
roadway. Evidently the machine
started skidding, and Demaris could
not make the turn. The motor cycle
leaped the rails of the trolley track
and seemingly bounded over them, and
then the spectators were sickened and
Mortified to witness the motor cycle
plunge into a great maple tree just
east of the inner rail. For second
1t seemed as if the machine fairly en-
deavored to climb the tree, while both
Demaris and Southard were hurled

BIG STEAMER
GOES ON REEF
Ore Carrier George S. Baker In
Bad Shape at Eagle River

In the dense fog which hung over
the lakes last night, the steamer
George 5. Baker. owned by the Pitts
burgh Steamship company, a subsi-
diary of the Steel corporation. loaded
with lO,50O tons of ore and bound down
| the lakes from Ashland. went on the
reef just east of Eagle River and near
the point where the steamer Moreland
grounded two years ago, about /
o'clock this morning. The boat is Leak
ing badly and Will have to be lightered
before II can be released, an under
taking which is likely to prove diff
cult.
Owing to the fog the boat was trav-
cling at greatly reduced speed. II
is explained that the accident was
caused by a great deviation of the
compass. When the boat first struck
the reef. it's momentum was such that
it did not stop until it put about and
reversed, and as a result the craft was
badly ripped and probably a number
of plates were loosened.
The Baker was on it's first trip of the
season. 1t is a steel craft. COS feet
long by 5S feet beam. a boat of recent
construction and up-to-date in every
particular. The crew of the Baker
of 25 men, Capt. George A.
Bell in command. The latter is one
Of the oldest men on the lakes. a man
Of much experience and very careful.
Several members of the crew are still /
aboard the boat, the others having |
come ashore.
The position of the Baker indicates
hat she is fast along her whole bot
om, and probably would suffer great
y from hard storm from the north
,r east.

Incidents in the skirmishing whiel

tions tn which Americans were forced
by Huerta's forces 10 submit are i'm
terestingly described i'm letter receiv-
ed by Mrs w. II. Anderson of Calumet
from her son, James, a corporal OF the
marines aboard the battleship Utah.
MIR. Anderson was one of the few Cal
umet young men who participated in
that skirmishing. he having been with
the first detachment of the landing
force.
There was no organized opposition
To the landing OF the American forces
and the skirmishing i'm and near that
city can hardly be termed battle. The
American marines. however, encoun-
tered considerable danger in that they
were forced To encounter "a desultory
fire from 'snipers" in all parts of the
city. Mr.. Anderson describes in al
graphic manner. the efforts made To
overcome this opposition from skulk-
ers who kept up rather continuous
patter of rifle balls from the tops OF
high buildings and from open win
dows. In all about nineteen Americans
fell in this warfare in addition to a
large number who were wounded.
