STORM PERILS MANY
YACHTS RETURNING no CHICAGO
FROM MICHIGAN LOST.
Terrific; Gale Sweeps Lake and IL Is
Feared Some OF the Eoats Have
Been Swamped.

Chicago, June 23.-Eundreds of lives
were irnperiled and many thrilling res
cues effected on Sunday in one of the
worst storms which has swept over
the lake this season. The storm broke
so suddenly and with such f1erceness
that the many lake craft cruising
some of them many miles out-were
caught and tossed like tissue boats by
the gale and great waves.
Twelve boats of the fleet which was
returning from the Michigan City
yacht races, held Saturday, were re-
ported missing.
The feet, consisting of about thirty
boats, was caught in the squat about
six miles off the Jackson park harbor.
Every effort was made to protect the
weaker craft, but darkness fell over
the waters and many boats were lost
to view.
Six of the missing boats belonged to
the Jackson Park Yacht club; two
we're owned by members of the Chi
oago Yacht club and the others be-
longed to the Columbia and Lincoln
Park Yacht clubs.
High-powered motor boats and mem
bers of life-saving crews all along the
lake shore swept the waters with
searchlights in an effort to find the
missing yachts.
Ten men were rescued from float
one mile out from the foot of Indiana
street by Captain Garland and his life
saving crew, after the men had been
washed away from their moorings and
were rapidly being driven out into the
lake. Captain Garland caught their
distress signals and went to their res

HOLDS SHERIFF is EXEMPT
Is Only Person in State Who Can Sell
Liquor Without License, Says
Attorney General.

Madison.-A sheriff is the only
person in Wisconsin who has a right
to sell liquor without license, ac-
cording to an opinion of the attorney
general, who advised District Attor-
ney James G. O'Niell OF Dodgeville to
that effect. 1t seems that the sheriff
of that county had seized a stock Of
liquor in execution and intends to sell
it for debt and some other residents
of the county think he ought to de-
stroy the liquor and not try to sell
it. He appealed to the district at
torney, who in turn asked the at
torney general for ruling. The
sheriff will now sell the liquor and
viii not be compelled to open a sa-
loon or take out a license.

al that one hundred men in this town
contribute ten dollars apiece TO prov

children here this wlnte He has
talked with several citizens and each
oi them has stated that he would
gladly join such a movement Ben
nington people in the main are reas-
onably prosperous, but with work in
some of the mills slack, there are
quite a number OF families with their
income cut off and thus reduced to
serious need As fast as the cases
have become known the good women
of the town, backed by the financial
aid OF the mem folks have given aid
but more is needed. Any person will

phone Mr.. Berry
