BRITISH TRAMP SUNK
Bay Liner "City of Norfolk Badly
Damaged hut Tbere.ls No
Lnss of Life.

-. hoSS W
y Norfolk, Oct. Tn a collision in
the inner harbor shortly before s
o'clock last night, the British tramp
steamer Hawkhead, said to have been
at anchor, was sunk, and the Bay
liner City of Norfolk, Of the Chesa-
peake Steamship Company's line, was
badly damaged. There was no loss of
life, and, so far as can be learned, no
one seriously injured.
The accident was due to heavy
fog hanging over the harbor. The
city of Norfolk, was outward-bound,
and carried in the neighborhood Of
100 passengers. The majority were
at supper, when the crash came.
Great excitement prevailed for few
minutes, but was quickly quieted by
the officers on the liner.
Fearing that the damage to the
steamer was greater than could be
ascertained, the passengers on the
City Of Norfolk were Immediately
transferred to the Old Dominion Riv,
err steamer Pocahontas, where they
remained only a few minutes, when
the majority were transferred to an
outgoing Old Bay Line steamer to-
the continuation of the voyage up the
bay About fifteen of the passengers
elected to return to Norfolk.
The Hawlhead sank about fifteen
minutes after the collision. She is In
about thirty feet of water. She sank
stern first, and the vessels bow is
still visible from the piers. The
small boats from the City of Nor
folk, the Pccahontas and other mar
Dor boats in the vicinity rescued all
on board the tramp.
The bow of the, City of Norfolk was
crushed for ten feet, but the bulk
heads held well, and she remained
| ahoat. She is declared to be in nc
danger, although it will be necessary
to send her to the shipyard. The
Norfolk returned to her pier with the
assistance of the company's tugs,
rushed to the scene.
Except the statement that the har-
Dor was envclopcd in fog, officials
have not given any cause for the col
lision.

HORRIBLE DEATH.
Venemous Snakes Snap at Face of
Man who Had Escaped From
Sheriff.

Denver, Oct, Ga horrible death,
alone at night in vast, trackless
swamp, where he gradually sank
from sight into the foul green mire,
while venomous snakes snapped at
mis- face. is the fate of Samuel D.
Barry, former resident of Golden,
Who escaped from a Colorado Sheriff,
Sunday, when being brought back
from New Orleans to stand trial in
Golden on charges of horse stealing.
Barry, 25 years old, leaped through
he open window of Santa Fc train
near Guthrie, Okla, when the ex-
press was making SO miles an hour
and passing swamp DO miles square.
1t was nearly 8 o'clock at night, and
dark.
The train was stopped and search
begun. Traces of blood We're follow
ed from where Barry landed to the
edge of the swamp, few yeards
away. Out in the dismal, murky
swamp means and cries could be
family heard, but these suddenly
ceased. By the aid of their lanterns
they could sec hundreds CT the with
ng, wriggling, venomous reptiles
which infcst the morass.
Residents of the region say there
is no doubt Barry plunged hcadlong
into the black swamp to escape, and
gradually sank below the surface Of
the treachereus bog within few,
minutes. They also state that the
reptiles would have caused his death
in few minutes.
