FREICHTER
HITS LINER
IN A FOG

BY United fress.
New York, May 26-The freighter
Joseph ]. Cuneo rammed the Ameri-
can liner Ryndam in a fog off Nan
tucket Island.
The liner was damaged to an ex-
tent that it was deemed advisable to
transfer the passengers and part of
the crew to the freighter.
Although there was some excite
ment among those on board the Ryn-
dam, eighty-seven passengers and
about as many members of the crew
were soon safely placed on board the
Cuneo.
One of the holds of the Ryndam was
full of water when the report of the
accident was received and the amount
OF water was increasing rapidly.
The Ryndam is proceeding toward
New York at the rate of thirteen miles
an hour.
Vessels belonging to the U. S. At
lantic fleet, which have been maneu-
vering near the scene of the accident,
are standing by the disabled steamer
AT 10:30 this morning the Ryndam
was one hundred and twenty-four miles
off Ambrose Channel. Part of her ma
chinery was strained but was holding
out. There were 200 men in the crew
A report from Boston said the pas
sengers were taken aboard the battle
ship North Carolina though the cap
tain stated that they were on the
Cuneo.

Prominent Young
People Spring a
Surprise Wedding

Simplicity in the extreme marked
the marriage last evening OF Miss
Mary Lee Emerson and Mr. Garvain
Chastain at the home of the bridre,
3lS South Thirteenth street Only the
immediate relatives and Miss Lula
Frasier were present when the cere-
money was solemnized at o'clock by
Rev J. A. Old. Miss Rosa Chastain
played the wedding march and the
two-ring ceremony was used. The
bride was attired in white.
After the ceremony light refresh
ments were served. The newlyweds
spent the night at Hillcrest, the home
Of the groom's parents. and left today
for Amber, where they viii reside.
Although it had been known for
some time that Cupid had taken a
firm hold upon the hearts of these
young people, their marriage at this
time came as complete surprise TO
their friends and even members of
their own families were unaware Of
their plans till yesterday morning
Present at the ceremony were Mr., and
Mrs. ]. d. Chastain. parents of the
groom and family, Mrs. Dunn, Mrs.
]. r. Harris, Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Har-
ris of Amber, and Mr.. and Mrs. d. e.
Emerson, parents of the bride, and
son, Brownwood
Miss Emerson grew to womanhood
in Chsckasha. After being graduated
from Kidd-Key college, Sherman,
she taughl year in the college here,
and then ontered the university at
Ann Arbor. Eiich., where she obtained

welded life with no end OF good
wishes from friends.

Ship $4,000 Horses a
Month to War Zone

Kansas City, Mo-, May 26-Though
o little more than half year has gone
by since the shipment of horses to
the European war zone set in, APP
proximately 100000 have already been
purchased in the United States. They
are now going out at the rate of about
$4,000 month"; or 100000 year, with
no sign of let up until the war ends,
SO that anybody can readily see what
may happen if the struggle goes on
until one side or the other stops from
exhaustion. The possibility that this
country may lose 100000 horses as a
result of the conflict is thus rapidly
becoming probability, for everybody
seems to be agreed that England,
France and Germany must buy very
large number Of horses after the war
ends to replace those taken from their
own people for military purposes.
The records of the department of
commerce show that more than 1885,
900 horses were exported during the
first three months of 1915. April ex-
ports are not yet fully ascertained,
but are estimated at $4,000 head. The
total exports last year were, in round
numbers, $4,000 head, as compared
with $4,000 head in 1913. Practically
all of the horses shipped to Europe
last year were purchased for military
purposes.
France, England. Italy, Switzerland,
Roumania, and perhaps other coun-
tries have been among the buyers. 1t
is estimated that they have paid some-
thing like s5O.OOO,OOo for the horses
purchased. That prices have advanc-
ed only few dollars for certain
classes of horses and not at all for
others, is pretty good proof that the
the United States can keep on sup
plying horses for the greatest war in
history as long as the European ma
tons want to buy them. But all the
market experts are predicting very
much higher prices for all classes of
horses as soon as the business of the
country comes back to normal con-
dition.

May Have Been Mined.
By United Press.

By United Press.
New York, May 26 captain of
the Nebraskan wired the offices of
the company here that his vessel was
either torpedoed or mined forty miles
west of Fastnet, not far from the
scene of the sinking Of the Lusltania.
The captain stated that there was
no water in the hold of the vessel
and that it was proceedings to Liver
pool under its own steam.
The Nebraskan carried cargo Of
ballast. 1t left Liverpool on May "a
for New York and had crew consist
ing of forty-seven men.
The company takes the view that
the vessel was mined. The Nebraskan
was the first ship to pass through the
Panama canal.
The Nebraskan carried the Ameri-
can flag and an American crew, but
was under charter for cooperation
with Great Britain.
1t is reported that British warships
are escorting her toward Liverpool.
