SALOONS OPEN AFTER
A BRIEF CLOSING

Nicholasville. KY. Nov. l6.-The
saloons opened here this morning
after being closed about three
months. They had taken out license
for one year. after the county had
voted dry. pending a contest decis-
ion. When the discision was rend-
cred in favor of the drys the saloons
closed and demanded a rebate on
their license for the unexpired time.
The Mayor of the town refused. A
similar case. which has been pend
ing in the Supreme Court. was de-
cided a few days ago. The court
ruled the saloons had right to run
their time out. This will allow them
to run here until April. 1915.

so RESCUED IN PORT
SEAL HUNTERS FROZEN so FAST
THAT MANY WERE DUG OUT.
Sixty-Nine Bodies of Dead Men Found
Disaster Was UnaVoid-
able.

st. Johns, N. F., April 6.-The seal
ing steamer Bellaventure steamed
slowly into the harbor at dusk bear
ing SO of the dead and so of the Grip
pied survivors of the disaster that
overlook the sealers of the steamer
Newfoundland on the ice foes near
Belle Isle straits in last Tuesdays
blizzard.
Thirteen of the living were removed
to the hospital in a critical condition.
Several others were seriously i'll and
all but one Of the remainder bore the
scars of their 48 hours exposure to
the arctic gale in which " of their
companions met death. This unin-
jured survivor was stricken blind
after being picked up, but it is ex-
pected he will recover his sight.
There is still faith in many quarters
that the Southern Cross, the stout
steamer that Lieutenant Shackleton,
the British explorer, used on one of
his antarctic expeditions, weathered
the blizzard with it's ITO men. No
wreckage has been reported anywhere
along the coast.
The disaster which overlook the
Newfoundland hunters was unavoid-
able, according to Captain Randell of
the Bellaventure. FL
On Thursday the weather cleared
and the Bellaventure was making
ready to start the men after seals
again when a lookout in the crows
nest reported men on the ice. Cap
tain Randell Immediately ordered
every available man from the ship to
the rescue. Most of the castaways
were four miles away over a broken
field of ice
The Bellaventure was driven toward
them with all possible speed, but so
bad were ice conditions that it re-
CURED nine hours to cover the four
miles.
in the meantime Captain RandelPs
men had reached the castaways. Only
few of the hardest were conscious
and able to help themselves. Many
were in a stupor. Some were raving,
others having been stricken with ice
blindness. Many bodies were found
frozen so fast in the ice that pick
axes were necessary to chop them
out. Two of the survivors were near
ly mad from their suffering and grief.
Each had watched brother die in his
arms.
