TORPEDO HIT THE
 FRENCH LINER
HE TELLS OF ACTS OF BRAY. ERY-WAS EIGHTEEN HOURS
 IN THE WATER.

PARIS, March II. = That the French auxiliary cruiser Ia Pro- vince, sunk in the Mediterranean on February 26, was the victim of a torpedo, is told by one of the sur vivors who has just reached here. The statement follows:
 livery man would have been saved," says the survivor, whose name is Bokanowsld, If it had been within human possibility and the physical capacity of officers and crew. Unfortunately the ship settled rapidly. The water soon got to the boiler, which exploded within a few minutes.
 T threw myself into the sea and swan away as far as I could; then looked back and saw the ship plung- ing with it's brow in the air. After half an hour in the water I reach ed raft, already overloaded, but the occupants dragged me aboard. Night came on, with a wind that bit thru the naked skin of the men. Yet, during all this interminable night there was not a complaint. My unfortunate comrades had noth- | ing to say except of the fate of the drowned and excoriation of the Germans.
 Eighteen hours passed before we were picked up by sloop. We were all in the water up to our breasts some dead from exposure, others mad from anguish. The gunners of the piece at the stern of the La Provence, having loaded the gun the instant the torpedo struck, remain ed at their post seeking the con- cealed enemy until the weapon was submerged by the waves.
 Sergeant Gauthier of the crew found place on a raft which was more than full. He heard the ap- peal of soldier in the water and threw himself into the sea, saying: The duty of seaman is first of all to save the soldiers Gauthier was picked up twenty-one hours lat CT clinging to plank.
 Surgeon Navarro of the Third Colonial Infantry was dragged aboard the sloop half exhausted af- ter eighteen hours exposure on a raft. He refused to change his clothes or take anything to eat be- fore he had dressed the wounds of the injured and cared for the sick iie remained for a long time in state of utter exhaustion after these superhuman efforts"

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET
The Stearns County Dads Organized
for the Year at st. Cloud
on Tuesday.

The commissioners of Steans coun.-
ty met at st. Cloud Tuesday morning
and organized for the year by electing
Commissioner Lair of st. Cloud as
chairman and Jake Weber of Rich
mond as vice chairman. .s4
The county printing for the year
was the important matter disposed of
the first day. The Herald had in "a
bid jointly with all of the other pa
pers in the county outside of st.
Cloud The Times and DerNordstern,
the German weekly, also had in bid.
The Herald bid was slightly under
legal rates and would have saved the
county several hundred dollars, while
the Times bid was for full legal rate.
The Times had Commissioners Lair
and Weber sewed up early, and along
after dinner won over the third one,
the final vote being three to two. Be-
fore the vote was announced there
was much worry on the part of the
Times crowd. So for another year at
least that portion of Stearns county
directly outside of st. Cloud will have
but little knowledge of what the COM
missioners are doing.
