When the news of the loss of the "State of California" reached the city there was some fear that Miss Emma Reinig and Miss Louise Encking might he on the boat. Quite to the contrary, however, Miss Reinig and Miss Encking finished their ocean voyage on the steamer "Alameda" several days ago and are now visiting along the Canadian Pacific on their way home. They have stopped in Victoria and Vancouver, B. and many other points along the Canadian Pacific on their return trip. Definite word as to when they will reach Fond du Lc was expected in the city today.

Miss Encking and Miss Reinig left for Alaska early in July on the "Alameda" of the Alaska Steamship company's lines. The "State of California," which was sunk after running on an uncharted rock and which cost Will A. Dyer, of this city, his life, was of the Pacific Coast Steamship company's lines.

Mrs. Lieflander, who is 51 years of age, recovered from the shock of the accident much better than could have been expected. That the, Lieflander horse was killed outright was probably fortunate for both the occupants of the buggy, for they were thrown forward on the roadway and had the animal possessed the strength to gain its feet it would most certainly havj fampled them.

Under the circumstances and the terrific impetus witn which the rigs came together it was fortunate that the incident did not result more seriously.
