The man who narrowly escaped drowning was removed to he home of A. W. Priest, where he remained over night and this morning had fully recovered from his experience.

FS LIFE COSTLY CHICAGO MOTOR BOAT RUNS ON ROCKS AND PARTY OP FIVE ENDANGERED.

ore man unconscious Accident Occurs on Upper River Opposite Home of Mr. Pierce, Who Hears Cries for Help and Reaches Scene in Time to Rescue Man. Boat Owned by Chicago People Who Were Returning from Week's Trip Up River, Appleton, Wednesday, Aug. 16. Hesitating not even long enough to wipe the lather off his face, Dudley Pierce rushed from the bath room at his home, where he was shaving last evening at.

about 7 o'clock, leaped in to his rowboat on the river bank and rowed with all his might to the cen ter of the river directly opposite his home, reaching there in time to save the life of an Oshkosh man, who few minutes before had been thrown off the motor boat Katherine when the craft nearly turned turtle as a result of being run onto the rocks a few feet north of the north side of the channel not far southwest of the St Paul railroad bridge. The man was under water when Mr. Pierce reached him, but the fact that he wore white shirt made it possible for Pierce to see him. The fellow was un conscious when lifted to the surface of the water and did not regain his senses for fifteen or twenty minutes afterward On the Katherine at the time of the accident were five people, three men, a woman and a little girl. All abso lutely refused to reveal their identity, but it was learned this morning that the man who nearly drowned and one or two others of the party are Osh kosh residents, while the owners of the boat are Chicago men.

Although Mr. Pierce had saved his life, the fellow refused even to tell him his name, ana their only excuse for endeavoring to" hide their identity was that they did not want any publicity given the affair. The launch Katherine, which Is one of the finest craft of the kind ever seen on local waters, made the trip up river about a week or ten days ago and was on the way back to Chicago when the- accident occurred. The Osh kosh man, it is -said, was acting as pilot for the owners of the boat from Oshkosh to Green Bay. A short distance southwest of the St.

Paul bridge the party lost the channel momentari- and during that time the boat en countered two big stones about 18 inches below the surface. Two big holes were stove into the bottom of the boat and the craft, it is said, came withia an ace of capsizing. The force of the impact with the stones and the" lurching of the boat hurled the Oshkosh man overboard. The other members of the party were all in the cabin and thus were saved from being thrown into the water When the boat struck the stones and holes, were torn in the bottom the four persons on the inside of the cabin were panic stricken and did not realize immediately what had happened or that one of their party had been thrown overboard. His cries, however, soon attracted their atten tlon, but not until the swift current had turned the boat around and moved it a considerable distance from where the drowning man struggled in the The men on board threw ropes to the fellow in the water, but he failed to grasp them and finally sank out of sight and did return to the surface.

The thought occurred to the engineer that he might be able to back the boat to the spot where the fellow sank, but when he started his engine the anchor rope, became involved in the propeller, thus incapaci tating the engine. In the meantime, everyone on board yelled for help and their cries were heard by Dudley Pierce. Just how long it took Mr. Pierce to get from his home to the scene of the ac cident is difficult to tell, he says, but he believes it was only a few minutes. although the distance is some hundred feet.

Mr. Pierce rowed to the spot where the drowning man was last seen and looking into the water saw something It proved to be the shirt worn by ttie fellow. Leaning over the side of his rowboat he reached into the water several feet and succeeded in pulling the fellow to the surface. He then got the assistance of two of the men on board the launch and to gether they lifted the apparently life less body to the top of the cabin where they lost no time endeavoring to resuscitate him. Mr.

Pierce declares it was fully fifteen minutes before the fellow showed any signs of life and jn about twenty minutes he regained consciousness. In the meantime the launch, despite heroic efforts of those aboard to keep the boat from foundering, was rapidly filling with water and was threatening to sink to the bottom any minute. The water at the point vwhere'the launch was at that time is said to be about ten feet deep and had the craft sunk it is probable a fatality or two could not have been averted. Mr. Pierce, as soon as the Oshkosh man had "regained consciousness, re-entered his rowboat and with the assistance of one of the other men, towed the launch to shore.

I HI ENTER ROSSMEISSL SHOE STORE AND WICHMAN BROTHERS GROCERY STORE. GET PIPE, SPIT AUD CASH Smash Window in Rear of Ross-meissl Store, Take Plenty of Time To Inspect and Take Only the Best and Then Open Rear Door to Make Quiet and Comfortable Exit Get Only Sixty-five Cents in Cash at Wich-man's. Appleton, Wednesday, Aug. 16. A comparatively new suit of clothes, a meerschaum pipe, a watch, and at least three pairs of shoes were removed from the J.

and M. Rossmeissl shoe store sometime between 11:14 o'clock last night and 6:45 o'clock this morning. Entrance to the shoe store was affected by smashing in a pane of glass in the upper half of a window at the rear of the store, which permitted of easy ingress. The nocturnal visitors were apparently familiar with the lay of the premises for the meerschaum pipe owned by Henry Rossmeissl had been hidden away between boxes in the rear of the store where the owned thought none could find it but himself The burglars took the coat and trousers of a suit owned by Joseph Rossmeissl, leaving the vest aChd a new pair of suspenders. An old overcoat-that has been left in the store by Oscar Rossmeissl was found lying on one, of the seats in the front of the store, indicating that the visi tors had thoroughly inspected the apparel before deciding to make off with it.

The shoemaker's watch was in a vest In his workshop on the second floor of the store. Shortly after noon today one of the clerks in the store discovered three empty shoe boxes on the second floor, Inquiry among the members of the sales force elicited the information that no shoes of that kind had been displayed to customers for some time past. Taking the numbers of the missing shoes and the sizes, Oscar Rossmeissl boarded an afternoon train for Green Bay where the 10i Ranch, wild west show is appearing today, He will closely examine the shoes worn by employes of the circus and others whom he might suspect of having had something to do with last night's burglary. He is accompanied by an officer and is prepared to give first class evidence against any per son or persons who might be caught with the shoes on. Although Mr Rossmeissl has gone to Green Bay with a view to getting a line on a probable thief, this does not remove the suspicion that leans toward local operators.

Joseph Rosmeissl went into the store at about 11:15 o'clock last night to turn off the window lights. He said that in walking toward the back of the store he saw a light flash on and off, but paid no particular attention to the incident as he heard no accompanying noise and thought perhaps someone in passing through the alley had lighted a match. In makin0, their exit from the store the prowlers were fooled by the night lock, in which the key is inserted upside down. The rear door is fastened at top and "bottom, but this did not stop the burglars, who released the two catches and forcibly pulled the double door open, in which condition it was found this morning, although no damage had been done. According to the circumstances surrounding the robbery there ijs every reason to believe tnat local talent perpetrated the act and that they took advantage of the circus being in the city thinking the blame for their work would be fastened on the- hangers-on with the wild wjst show.

The police were notified and will keep close tab on sev-, eral persons in the city whom they have an idea might -be responsible for last night's work. Wichman Brothers' grocery store was also visited by, night prowlers, who took out a window pane in the rear of the store, the same space through which entrance was effect ed four weeks ago and visited the cash, drawer from which between sixty and seventy-five cents in pen nies were stolen. Mr. Wichman could not say whether groceries had been stolen, but it is not thought likely, as it is apparent that the. burglars were after only money.

Here, again it looks very much like another case of purely home talent. It is suggested by leading business men that the police department round up some of these young fellows who are hanging around day in and -day out, wear ing white collars and pretty good clothes and not doing a tap of work. Some v. interesting informa tion, it is thought might be obtained by quizzing some of these fellows. There are those who still bear In mind the Booth hold-up of several weeks ago which as yet has not been ferreted A well known Des Moines woman after suffering miserably for two days from bowel complaint, was cured by one dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Will Not Be Released for the General Public Until the Cheese Has Been Exhibited and Cut at the National Dairy and Food Show in Chicago More Curd. Than Necessary Was Produced -Two Smaller Cheese Were Made. Appleton, Wednesday, Aug. 16. That the cheese made yesterday afternoon by Nicholas Simon for the National Dairy show at Chicago on October 26 to November 4, will be a first class one, is evidenced by a statement made by A.

W. Parkin of Minnesota, cheese "inspector of the dairy and food department of that state. Mr. Perkins said without reserve ttiat the curd was the most uniform he had seen in all his experience as inspector and was really pleased to find that there was such a uniformity in the work of the cheese-makers which would more than anything else assure the rich quality of the creamy American cheese. It was after 7 o'clock before the last batch of curd had been cut up, washed, salted and put in the big hoop, and a number of workers stayed on the job until long after dark assisting In putting the pressure on the curd.

While it was freely remarked among the cheesemakers that certain batches of curd were not up to standard, there was so much splendid curd that the few poor lots will make but little difference in the palatableness of the mammoth cheese. H. Reimers, who took moving pictures of the thirty-five cheesemakers busying themselves over the six vats during the afternoon, told a representative of this paper that it will be about three months before the pictures will be released for public use. Mr. Reimers said that it does not take long to develop the films, but It has been decided to wait for the unhoop-ing and cutting of the cheese In Chicago in order' to make the operation complete from start to finish.

The pictures will be shown in nickel theatres throughout the country, and one of the first to receive the complete films will be Manager Neil Duffy of the Elite theatre, who was on the ground and made arrangements for the film the minute lit is released by the manufacturers The pictures will in themselves take up about an hour's time to run indicating how complete. the films are. The cheese will be rolled into the Charles Clack warehouse where" it will be surrounded by a refrigerator especially designed for the hoop for cooling purposes. When the cheese is loaded on the flat-car preparatory to shipment to Chicago, another refrigerator will be built around the hoop. Mr.

Parkin, said in answer to a question that the "center of the 12,000 pound cheese will cure as rapidly as any other portion and that' he believes it will be a splendid sample of genu ine Wisconsin cheese. The big cheese will probably be shipped to Chicago about October 20. The process of cheesemaking after the curd has been prepared proved complete revelation to a large number of persons who were present during the afternoon's operations. In all probability the Simon cheese will sell att50 cents per pound in which event it will be worth approximately $6,000. Fifty cents per pound is the price that Mr.

Simon says he thinks the mammoth creation ought to bring. Some interesting figures were, given out today by Mr. Simon relating to the giant American cheese. Approxi mately 13,675 pounds of curd was de livered at the scale from noon yester day until about 4 o'clock. Charles Clack weighed the cans of curd and each factoryman went directly to the office where he presented his bill and received a check written by Henry T.

Bowers of Chicago, who was one of Mr. Simon's assistants. The cheese makers were paid 11 cents for their curd, the market price on that day. The estimated total cost of making the mammoth cheese is about $7,500, according to Mr. Simon.

Three hund red pounds of Wyandotte Cheese salt were used and this amount was weighed out and distributed by A. W. Park in of Minnesota, who together with J. D. Cannon of New London, assistant state food inspectojr had charge of the floor work and were of valuable as sistanee to Mr.

Simon. At each vat there were four experienced cheesemakers," a total of twenty-four men who contributed their experience and best efforts to make the cheese a com plete success. Four carried the curd cans from the scale to the vats, four men did the tamping in the big hoop, and four men carried water from a tank to the vats, the water being used in washing and rinsing the curd before it was salted and work-up preparatory to being dumped Into the hoop. The rinsing process was personally superintended by Mr. Cannon.

At times there were twenty-five men carrying curd from the vats to the. hoop. About fifty including cheesemakers and helpers had a hand in building a cheese which "is safe to say will not be successfully duplicated for some time to come. Mr. Simon desires to express his Ukkcrt.

11 SPEC! II Some One with Peculiar Sense of Humor Starts Team Attached to Bus and Horses Collide with Tree In Front of Congregational Church Last Night. Appleton, Wednesday, Aug. 16. A runaway that was spectacular in the extreme and still had no at tendant serious features, occurred at about 11 o'clock last night when a team of horses attached to one of the J. C.

Kunitz and Sou busses ran south on Appleton street to the Congregational church yard and collided with a large tree, re leasing them from the vehicle and caving in the dash-board of' the bus, this being the extent of the damage, which is one of the most surprising features of the wild dash. There was no one in the bus at the time. The horses had been tied to a post in front of a business place on Appleton street after thecircus. It was observed by the driver, Gus Klippstein, that the tie strap had been cut. It is presumed that some one with a peculiar sense of humor had slashed the strap and frightened the horses into running away, as the team ordinarily is thoroughly dependable and will stand without tying and are not easily frightened.

Upon encountering the tree near the Congregational church one of the horses was thrown by the impact, but the other kept on in a mad dash down the hill and came within a few feet of plunging into the canal near the Ravine paper mill. By a quick turn the horse saved itself from a watery bath and continued up Water street, passed the Graef Manufacturing company's plant, where the horse turned up th i hill onto College avenue. Here the equine turning east on College avenue ran as far as Green Bay street and did not stop until it had turned the west part of Riverside cemetery into a speedway. By the time the runaway had collided with a couple of markers, none of which was badly damaged, it had about spent its enthusiasm and was very meek when the owner a short time later went to Riverside and took the animal in charge. The horse was scratched and bruised as.

a result of its long run, but was able to walk back to the barn apparently not much the worse for wear. Oscar Kunitz is making a determined effort to learn who deliberately cut the tie strap and will leave no stone unturned to ferret out the identity of the guilty party if such a thing is possible. Mr. Kunitz knows' of a "measly" trick that was perpetrated on another local liveryman by an outsider yes-teday and may be able to connect this party or his agents with the cause of last night's runaway.
