SHACKELTON FACED HARDSHIPS.
Ship Fast in Great Ice Floes for Near
ly a Year Before it Was Sunk.

London. June "a further mes
sage received today from Sir Ernest
Shackelton, the Antarctic explorer
whose arrival at Port Stanley, Falk-
land islands, was made known yester-
day, shows that the expedition mad a
remarkable escape. After meeting
with almost unprecedented weather
in the early part of 1915, the lieuten-
ants ship Ell Endurance was nipped
by great ice bergs and afterwards
foundered :,
Sir Ernest succeeded in getting or
all his men and some stores. Ter
rible privations were suffered. After
a most hazardous journey the explor-
err reached Elephant Island. me
scarcity of food became SO serious
that he decided to leave the greater
part of his men while he set off for
help. Rations for the men left be-
hind were stored in hole dug in the
ice.
After journey of three weeks Sir
Ernest reached South Georgia. Inere
he sought the assistance of whalers
for the rescue of the party on Ele-
plant Island, but this proved to be
impossible owing to the prevalence
The message says there is urgent
need of help for the marooned men
In view of the information recelV-
ed from Shackleton, the plans of the
government for sending a relief ex-
Dedition from England will be aban-
doned and a whaler will be sent from
the Falkland Islands.
After a careful examination of the
r G
nal cable, Sir Douglas Mawson, the
explorer said today:
"Instead of drifting until April .
of this year, as has been suggested' IL
is quite plain that the Endurance was
stuck in the ice floes from March OF
last wear to Oct 81, when the pres
sure became 100 great. me Endur-
ance was crushed and sank on the
latter date in the middle of the we'd
dell sea.
Lieutenant shackleton abandoned
the sinking ship, dragging the whale
boats and supplies on an ice floe, on
which he continued to drift until
April of this year.

ing there April 10. There the lleuten-
ant left twenty-five Of his men in an
ice cave and proceeded with five 9th
ers in an open boat to South Georgia
Island, where he hoped to meet whal-
ing vessels and thus get in touch with
civilization.
"His voyage from the South Shet.
lands to South Georgia, distance OF
900 miles, in an open boat twenty
two feet long amid ice was hazard
ous and remarkable feat, even for SO
skilled a navigator and seaman as
Shackleton.
"The South Shetland Islands are
invested with floe ice at this time OF
the year and it will not be easy to
reach the men on Elephant Island
until later, though no doubt whalers
will be sent now from the Falklands
in an attempt to rescue them.
''It is understood that Australia is
sending a relief party to reach the
ten men who are stranded on the
great barrier on the Ross sea side,
owing to the breaking away OF the
auxiliary ship Aurora, which was to
have met the main party when 1T
emerged.

abled him from engaging in employ
ment, for the whole time with the ex-
ception of a few weeks. He suffered
patiently and was adm Mustered to by
the family with devotion. Three
weeks ago he was seized with a Sc

with anemia of the blood which con-
fined him to his bed. He gradually
grew weaker and for the last two

MET SERIOUS INJURIES.
Henry G. Buchanan Thrown from a
Motorcycle on Division Street is
in the Kenosha Hospital.


Henry G. Buchanan, who conducts
a bicycle repair shop on North Main
street, met with terrible injuries on
Sunday afternoon when he was thrown
from motorcycle on which he was
riding at high rate of speed. Buck
mann was coming from the west on
Division street and when he crossed
the North Western tracks he lost his
hold on the handle bars. The un-
guided motorcycle ran along the curb
until it struck a telephone pole and
Buchanan was hurled through the air
and thrown on the sidewalk. He was
picked up bruised and bleeding and
taken to the Kenosha hospital where
he is still in a semi conscious condi-
ton. Buchanan had not been able to
tell just what caused the accident, but
it is supposed that he struck some
impeachment in the road. X-Ray pict-
ures were to be taken of his injured
hip this afternoon to ascertain wheth-
er or not the bones were broken.
Witnesses declared that Buchanan was
riding at high rate of speed at the
time of the accident and it is regard
ed as almost miraculous that he was
not instantly killed.

Burglar Who Was Entering
Home of Ben Cohn on FIRE.
mont Avenue Gets Away
from Shot Gun.
H. SCHWARTZ SLOW TO SHOOT

One man in Kenosha had chance
to shoot a burglar early this morning
but he failed to do it. The burglar
had his head and shoulders in jea-
pordy from shot gun for about a
quarter of minute. Then with a
surprised and disappointed look he
dropped quietly out Of the window
of the home of Ben Cohn, 42S Free
mont avenue and escaped. The man
who had the shot gun bead on the
burglar was Harry M. Schwartz, a
Main street clothier. He just didn It
have the heart to pull the trigger.
The invasion Of the Cohn home by
the burglar was not without it's thrills.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cohn had been at home
during the evening and Mr.. Schwartz,
who rooms at the house, had reached
home just before midnight. Mr.. Cohn
had gone into the bath room to take
bath and Mrs. Cohn sat rocking the
baby near an open window. She look
ed about toward the window and was
Mortified to see the head and shoulders
of rough looking man hanging over
the window SILL There was only a
dim light in the room and with the aid
of this the fellow was leisurely crawl
ing into the house. Mrs. Cohn shout
ed to Schwartz and he secured shot
gun from closet in one Of the rooms
and rushed to her aid. The man hang
ing over the inside of the sill did not
seem to be as much interested as he
might have been. Schwartz had time
to take shot at the fellow but he was
slow on the trigger. AS soon as Cohn
got out of the bath room there was a
bath robe search for the intruder, but
no. trace of him was found.
Mrs. Cohn was hysterical on ac-
count of freight. The case was re-
ported to the police this morning.
The members of the Cohn family who
saw the head and shoulders of the in
truder were so frightened that they
were not able to give any too adequate
a description of the fellow. It is de-
clared, however, that he had not been
seen in the neighborhood before.

Subjects Contract to Milwaukee

The Board of Water Commissioners
of Kenosha have been notified that
the New York Continental Jewel Fill
ter company, which has the contract
for the installation of the filter in
Kenosha, has sublet the contract for
all structural work in connection with
the contract, to the Sterling Engineer
ing company of Milwaukee. At the
time the bids were opened George r.
Wade had bid with the Continental
company for the filtration plant and
It was generally understood that he
was to have had the contract for
structural work. Just as soon as the
contracts had been closed up the New
York company began peddling the
sub contract for structural work and
managed to get a lower bid on the
work from the Milwaukee company
Of course, the local officials have no
interest in the matter as the New
York company is bonded to fulfill its
contract and it will undoubtedly do it.
However, the letting Of this big con-
tract to the Milwaukee company
comes In the nature of a surprise and
there is the suggestion that the Keno

has not given any decision on the mat
