Men Are Finally Landed
at corunna Spain.

Corunna, Spain, Nov. 16.-When the
crew of the American steamer Column
bian landed here they were accom-.
panied to their hotel by a great crowd
of people seeking stories of the attack
upon the ship, which was shelled and
sunk off the Spanish coast by a Ger
man submarine.
The captain said he was at dinner
when he heard the first gun; it sound
ed remote. At the time the Columbian
was making IL knots. Suddenly
shell passed over the ship.
American Flag Hoisted.
Captain Curtis, on the bridge, soon
Afterwards distinguished a submarine
four miles distant. He ordered the
American flag hoisted. The subma-
rine, the U-49, approached and sig
nailed the captain to follow it, but
not to approach nor attempt to escape.
All on board the Columbian put on
life belts. The captain prepared to
send his first officer by boat to the
submarine with documents and de-
mand that the American flag be re-
spected, but the sea was too high, and
the trip too hazardous. The Columbian
followed the submarine throughout the
night, being guided by rockets, which
also were sent up from time to time
by the Columbian by order of the Ger
mans.
Ordered to Abandon Ship.
Toward o'clock in the morning,
six American seamen manned a boat
and went with petty officer to the
submarine to explain that it was an
American ship, but they were forced
to take on board a German officer and
two sailors, and carried them to the
Columbian.
The Germans placed in the interior
of the ship two bombs and in the
meantime the German officer ordered
Captain Curtis and his crew to aban-
don the ship and go aboard the BALTIC,
which was standing by. There was
some disorder and excitement, but the
officer called out that there was plen.
ty of time and there was no need to
become panicky.
Columbian Is Blown Up.
The crew, before they were allowed
to enter the boats, was examined and
deprived of arms and electric pocket
lamps, but was allowed to take small
part Of it's baggage. Captain Curtis
was later required to go aboard the
submarine as a prisoner.
Quantities of foodstuffs were taken
from the Columbian and put aboard
the undersea boat. When all this was
done, the fuses of the bombs were
lighted and the Germans returned to
the submarine in one of the Column
bans boats. Twelve minutes later
the bombs exploded and the vessel
sank

Captain Refuses to Talk.

The Columbian's crew remained
aboard the BALTIC until the submarine
and that vessel fell in with the Swe.
dish steamer Varing, when they were
put aboard her. The BALTIC was then
sunk. Shortly afterward the subma-
rine sighted the Norwegian steamer
Fordalen and ordered her crew aboard
the Varing, and sank the Fordaleu.
Captain Curtis, when asked to de.
scribe his experiences, said he pre-
ferred to make no statement except
to American consular officials. His
intention is to return to the United
States at the first opportunity.

penison High School Basket Ball
Team Defeated by Jefferson and
Perry High Schools.
GAME SATURDAY THE BEST EVER
Coach Oscar Strahan, Of Perry, Has
One Of the Fastest Teams in the
State-Score 81 to &c.

The DenisOn high school basketball
team We're defeated at Jefferson Fri
day evening by score of 20 to Is and
again on Saturday evening when they
played the fast team from Perry at
the high school gymnasium in Deni-
son by the close score Of 80 to 81.
The game Saturday evening IN Den
ison was fine exhibition of basket
ball, but it was the opinion of every
one in attendance that the best team
won. The Perry team, which was
coached by Oscar Strahan, is consid-
cred one of the fastest teams in the
state. Perry has maintained a high
of seasons and most Of their players
had had several years of playing. while
the Denison high school had only been
playing for the past two seasons. At
the end Of the first half the score
stood II to IL in Denison's favor, but
it was in the second half that Perry
braced up and gave the Denison boys
hard fight. Denison's defeat can be
attributed to the fact that the players
played an individual game. there be-
ing an absence Of team work, while
Perry. from start to finish. played to-
gether and exhibited some fine team
work. At the end Of the game Deni-
son had an opportunity of tying the
score when they were given a trial
for the basket, but failed. "
A game between two teams made up
of junior high school students afford.
ed much amusement before the big
game was played and during the in
PERMISSION between the two halves. 1t
was a rough and tumble game from
start to finish and the players endeav-
cred to copy the tactics of the high
school team whenever possible. 1t was
comical to see tiny tots pitted against
boys twice their size. Professor Lynch
OF the high school faculty. is training
the junior high school team and by
the time they enter the senior high
school they will furnish valuable ma,
terial for the main team.

cost of lighting it for a year is esti-

was most difficult one entitled "A
Little Matter of Real Estate" by the
famous writer, MYa Kelly 1t was a
hard subject to handle and required
versatility in the impersonation Of the

herself to be master and her audi

humor of the. story of the little Rus
sian Jews as told by the speaker.
There were twelve entries in the
three classes of the contest, but on ac-
count of illness, Miss Sadie Smith,
who was entered in the humorous
class, was unable to appear. The
judges were placed in a difficult po-
sition in the selection of the winners
of the different classes for they all did
splendidly. Miss Hedwig Brodersen,
of the high school faculty; had the
training Of the contestants in charge
and to her much credit is due for the
excellent showing of the contestants.
The winners in the different classes
as announced by the judges are as fol
lows: Oratorical, Percy Cavett, first;
John Helsley, second. Dramatic, Hazel
Beutel, first; 1rma Norelius, second.

an active volcano i'm the Piagayurgan
range of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant

tiOns had recently erupted a discharge
of volcanic ash and either smoke or

'From the fact that foliage in the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
scorched as though by fame. hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the scOrched
leaves retaining their form, 1t was
thought that the eruption had been
recent. At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de-
stroyed the fragile remnants of the
burned foliage"
