the Laconia was torpedoed twice
without any warning. Eight boats
were launched. There was con-
siderable difficulty in casting
them free of the Laconia owing to
a considerable list, and one boat
was swamped. 1t was believed
that Mrs. Hoy and her daughter
were in this lifeboat.
Explosions of the two torpe-
does, however, caused most of the
casualties, 1t was believed.
The conduct of both passengers
and crew was generally calm, al
though there was some confusion
owing to the fact that the lights
went out Immediately after the
first explosion.

Sup't, chartered the ferryboat

sion up the river to the vicinity Of
Island Park, it not being known
at the start just where the land
ing place would be. Luckily the
"June rise" was high enough to
enable the boat to enter the Little
Cheyenne creek for considerable
distance, and the creek was narrow
enough for the boat to form a
bridge across the stream, to the
great convenience of everybody.
Several hundred people assembled
from all over the county and some
from Sully, coming from as far
east as Lebanon. The park and
its surroundings never appeared to
better advantage than on this oc-
casion. The only real draw back
was the absence of rowboats, in
asmuch as the fish were conspicu-
Gus by their absence. The time
passed quickly away in social con-
verse of old friends. the elaborate
dinners, games, visits tc Medicine

Little Cheyenne and out to the
shores Of the broad Missouri, with

were previously arranged for,

that the Woodman Of the county

of the month. Il is expected that
announcements regarding the same
will be made next.week.
