LAKE STEAMER IS DESTROYED Fire Probably Causes Loss of Fifteen Lives. TWO PERISH AT SCENE Thirteen Others Take to a Steel Life boat and Fear Is Expressed That They Have Succumbed to Exposure on the Open Lake—Six of the Crew Rescued and Taken to Cleveland Buffering Severely From Their Ex perience. Cleveland, Dec. 10.—The Anchor line freighter Clarion burned to the water’s edge off Southeast Shoal, Point Pelee,| Ont. The first mate and one of thel crew perished. Six members of the: crew are in Cleveland. The captain and twelve others left the ship in a steel lifeboat. They have not been heard from. The six men brought to Cleveland were taken off the burning boat by the steamer Hanna. They attempted to leave the Clarion with one other in a yawl. The yawl swamped and six of thém swam back to the Clarion. The seventh sank after the Hanna came to the rescue. Anchor line officials fear Captain E. J. Bell of Ogdensburg, N. Y., and the twelve men who left the Clarion with him in the steel lifeboat are lost. The mate, whose name has not yet been learned, was suffocated shortly after the fire broke out. He went into the hold to investigate. Captain Bell, following fifteen minutes later, found him dead in the companionway. 'Thei six survivors brought to Cleveland were suffering severely from exposure. John Marron, Cleveland agent of the Erie and Western Transit company, which owns the Clarion, took charge’ of them. Physicians who attended' them said that while they were weak | and exhausted all would likely recover unless pneumonia set in. i TRIPLE SHOOTING RESULTS Attempt Made to Serve Papers in Di- vorce Suit, Kansas City, Dec. 1 .—The attempt of Charles H.
