Twenty Lives Lost and a Half Million Dollars Worth of Property Destroy edGale Most Destructive to Lake Shipping In Years. Duluth. Minn., Sopt. 5. L'ighteon twenty llvos were lost and property valued at halt n million dollars was sncrifke-d In tho furious storm that swept over l-nke Superior Sunday nnu Sunday night. The galo was tho most destructive to lnko shipping thnt haa been experienced in many years. Beside- the wreck ot the steel steamer Sevona which broke in two on Sand Ialtiud reef, seven of tho crew losing their live, it U now believed that two more ships wero lost with their entire crews. On of these is thought lo bo the ifc'liooin-r Pretoria of Bay City, Michigan, the largest sailing ship on fresh wntcr, and carrying a crew of eight men. The other Is believed to be tin M'houner OHc Jeanettc, which earrle-d n crew ot seve-u men. The Pretoria broke loose from the steamer that was lowing her during the storm, nnd Captain Wending of tho steamer Mary Poyle reported thnt tho spars oi a sunken tlire-ninBted schoonor could bo seen a short dlstace off the outer island of the Apostlo group, about a hundre-d miles from Duluth. The Olive- Jeanetto It is believed, went to tho bottom about ten miles from Port wo entry. A mnss ot wreckngo was sighted by the steamer Juaulta near that point, and al' hough the Identity of the ship has not beon compl-toly established thero seems little doubt it was the Olive Jeanettc. This schooner was lu tow by tho steamer I.. It. Doty when tho latter vessel was lost with her entire crow on Ijiko Mlchhnn a fow years ago. Th storm at times reached the pro portions of n hurrlcano and tho 8taunelust now vosscls wero forced to run for shelter In a moro or leas bat tared condition.

The vh.lijack stewner Samuel Heather also lost one of her crew overboard The terrific battering tho steel steam- era received In tho storm gives rlso to the gravest fears for tho safety oi many wooden ship which havo not yet reported and tho record of death and destructions may reach much greater proportions than tho present estimates. The monetary loss of tlio Sevona Is placed at ? 170,000, wjillo that of the Pretoria Is ostlmatcel at ?150,000. Case of Yellow Jaundice. Jos.
