The four members of the crew
all live in San Francisco. The Santa
Rosa went ashore just before dawn
at the mouth of Honda creek. It is
supposed that the powerful search
light used by a gang of railroad la
borers who were working near the
wreck is the cause of the vessel leav
ing its course, the quartermaster mis
taking it for the light of the Point Ar
guello lighthouse.' The vessel lay
about 200 yards from shore near Sad

was wrecked several years ago.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal., July 8.—
In spite of assertions from company
officials and the ship's officials to theable
contrary, passengers of the wrecked
steamer Santa Rosa, who arrived here
early today after a thrilling battle
with breakers that smashed the
stranded ship, declare that more than
four sailors lost their lives. One hun
dred and ninety-two passengers are
all that have been accounted for so
far, say survivors. There were 200 on
the steamer, and many of the rescued
declared today that the missing ones
went down to death when the surf
battered the life rafts to pieces.
SURF, Cal., July 8.—Second Officer

when the lifeboat capsized, while the
passengers of the wrecked vessel
were being taken ashore by the crew.
Early today unconfirmed reports
are that the number of passengers,
variously estimated at from three to
20, are missing. Owing to the isola
tion of the scene of the wreck accu
rate information is not yet obtainable.

DIE AS
RESULT OF A
BIG CATCH
UTICA. N. Y., July 8.—W. E. Ledger
wood and Miss Shalleck of New York
drowned in Big Tupper lake late yes
terday afternoon. Ledgerwood, with
his wife and Miss Shelleck, were troll
ing oposite Pages Bluff when a big
fish was hooked, and there was so
much excitement in the boat that it
was overturned, throwing'the occu
pants into deep water. B*. O. Lott,
crossing the lake in a motor boat to
Paradise Point, succeeded in reaching
Mrs. Ledgerwood, who was uncon
scious but was soon revived.
VALLEY CITY, N. D.—The Barnes
county fair was somewhat marred on
the opening day by an accident to
"Dare-Devil" Cole, the *'ieap-the-gap"
artist, Cole shot down a long incline
on bis bicycle and over a gap. butof
fell and was quite badly hurt.
When the boat struck her injuries
did not appear to be serious and Cap
tain Farria, believing he would be
again to float the Santa Rosa,
made no attempt to land passengers.
A sharp wind arising soon after 4
o'clock threatened to rock the boat to
pieces and hasty preparations were
made to take the passengers and
crew ashore.
At 5:30 o'clock a heavy swell
cracked the vessel amidship and at 6
o'clock it was split in two. There
were 275' persons on board, most of
whom had taken refuge in the for
ward section as the stern of the boat
had reecived the brunt of the attack
of the waves.
The coast is bleak and uninhabited
and signals of distress shown an hour
previous still were unheaded. The
breakers rose dangerously and it was
with great difficulty that the first
boat was launched soon after 6
o'clock.
In it were the third engineer, C. W.
Brown, and a woman passenger. Brown
carried a line to the shore and when
he had effected a landing after a des
perate battle with the waves aid had
arrived on the shore.
A net was rigged on the -shore line
and the passengers, women and chil
dren first, were taken from the floun
dering ship, three and four at a time.
The disaster in which Heuson and
three seamen lost their lives occurred
just before the vessel yielded to the
assault of the waves and broke in two.
The lifeboat, carrying five men, hadI.
just put out. Heavy seas were sent
crashing against the hull of the ves
sel. One seaman succeeded in swim
ming to the shore, but his four com
panions perished. The landing of the

Special Trains Bring Militia
men to Maneuver Field
DEVILS LAKE, July 8.—With the
assembling yesterday of the twelve
companies of the First regiment,
North Dakota National guard, for an
nual encampment, Rock Island mil
itary reservation presents a^ively ap
pearance. For ten days the militia
of the state, together with a company
•of regulars from Fort Lincoln,, will
enter into the soldier duty. Many spe
cial trains arrived at Devils Lake
during the day, some stopping at mil
itary siding while others were backed
down the Aneta spur for the con
venience of the companies.
Exceptional interest is being shown
in the various companies in rifle
shooting. Under the directin of
Capt. E. C. Gearey, Jr., this feature
has grown steadily, and the efficiency
of the rifle team has benefited as a
result. Steady progress has been
made in the competitions at Camp
Perry, where the best riflemen of the
country assemble every year. The
rifle shooting this year will be done
during the encampment, when a team
will be picked by Captain Gearey to
enter the national shoot.
Besides Captain Fraser and Cap
tain Gearey, regimental officers of
Fargo, Captain Sarles of Hillsboro
and Lieutenant Hamilton of James-1
town are in the city.
Albert Powell, recently a private of
Company M, Devils Lake, has been
raised to corporal and will have
charge of the canteen store at the
reservation this year.
Arthur McLean, 'sergeant of the
same company, has been raised to
first sergeant.
Harry Kneeshaw of Devils Lake is
regimental quartermaster-sergeant and
in that capacity will be busily en
gaged during the next ten days.
Under the orders that were issued
the Fargo. Wahpeton and the Lisbon
battery traveled to Devils Lake on
a special train from Fargo. The Lis
bon band left Lisbon "for Davenport,
where they made camp to remain over
night, while the Wahpeton company
were transported from Wahpeton to
Davenport on a special train to join
the Fargo company.
From Jamestown a special train op
erated that carried the Jamestown,
Valley City, Bismarck and Dickinson
companies. This train reached the
military reservation during the after
noon of Friday, the trip being made
over the Northern Pacific by way of
Leeds.
Minot and Williston companies were
carried from Minot on a special train.
Williston having been authorized to
proceed to Minot to participate In the
celebration this week.
Grafton and the Hillsboro compa
nies were carried from Grand Forks
on the regular Great Northern train,
reaching Devils Lake at. 1:30 o'clock
and marching to the reservation.
The company of regulars that will
participate in the camp work with
the national guard, marched overland
from Fort Lincoln to Rock Island and
arrived there Friday for the work.
The regulars left Fort Lincoln last
week and have been favored with
fine weather, except that, on one or
two days it has been decidedly hot

Second infantry, U. S. A., will accom
pany general headquarters, while Cap
tain M. P. Wells is ordered to report
to Col. Frank P. Allen for service
during the encampment.
An important retirement in the na
tional guard is announced through an
order just issued by Adjutant Gener
al Treumann. Major Charles F. Mud
gett of Valley City, by his own re
quest, is placed on the supernumer
ary list of the guard through this or
der. Major Mudgett has seen long
service in the guard, both at home
and abroad, being Captain of Com
pany of Valley City in the Philip
pines, but returning home because of
critical illness. His place at the head
of the Valley City company was taken
by Col. A. T. Berg of Grand Forks at
that time.
"After a long period of faithful and
efficient service both at home and
abroad, it is to be regretted that
Major Mudgett finds it necessary to
retire from active service in the Na-by
tional guard of the state," states the
order in questin. "He has done much
to increase the efficiency of the regi
ment of which he has been a zealous
officer for so many years and by plac

his services which have been so val
uable, will be available in the future,

John Buerdon and Mrs. Mary C.
Hays of Tappen were arrested in Bis
marck Thursday on charges of immor
al conduct. Mrs. Hays is the wife of A.
D. Hays, living on a homestead near
Tappen. A man named John Buerdon
was working at the Hay home and he
influenced Mrs. Hays to come to Bis
marck with him, telling her a big
story about a $30,000 fortune that he
was to inherit in the near future. They
took with them Mrs. Hay's two chil
dren, girls about 12 and 14, respective
ly, and were conducting a nouse of
ill fame in the bottoms near here
Willi the two girls as their instru
ments.
Relatives of Mr. Hays, living at
Tappen and Streeter, wrote State
Humane Officer Blake, informing him
of the condition of affairs, and Mr.
Hays himself went to Jamestown to
see Mr. Blake at his home. On ar
riving there he found that Mr. Blake
was already in Bismarck, and return
ing on the next train Hays found him
here.
The local police had been notified
and the pair were already located,
and as soon as the complaint was
sworn out they were arrested. Mrs.
Hays was able to get bail last night.
but Buerdon was kept in the lockup.
Mr. Hays is now staying at a local
liotel with Mr. Blake and the two
girls, awaiting the hearing of the ac
cused, which is set fr Wednesday.
Mr. Blake wants to leave at once
as he has innumerable other cases
to attend to and more complaints
are coming in daily. He is hindered
greatly in his good work, however, bv
the fact that the office is entirely a
charitable one and he is unable to
meet the enormous expense incurred
