Government officials have turned their searchlight on the beef trust, and an investigation has been com- menced having for: its purpose the prosecution of the packers composing the $500,000,000 trust, for having vio- lated the Sherman law: in making the vast merger that brought the big concerns of the country together. It the present purpose of government to bring witnesses be- fore a special grand jury that was called for Oct. 1, and examine them as to the formation of the existing alliance. It is charged that the combination comprises the biggest trust in the country, the ramifications being now charged to exceed those of the steel trust. Strong intimation is made that the entire collection of jungle syndicate will be placed under the microscope of United States District Attorney Edwin W. Sims. ; It is alleged that the instructions include the Armour, Swift, Cudahy, Hammond, Morris, National Packing and Schwarzschild & Sulzberger companies, the understanding being that the National Packing Co. is the holding company, or that it stands in the same relation to the combination that the holding companies of other trusts maintain.

The $50,000 lake steamer Alexander Nimmick Cleveland, OO. was wrecked Saturday night the south- ern shore of Lake Superior, 13 miles west of Whitefish Point. No living soul was miles of the desolate the survivors laboriously pilot their lifeboats through the raging surf: no help was at hand to minister to the exhausted and frozen sailors or to care for the bodies of the six or seven victims washed up on the rocks by the waves. The dead: Capt. John Randall of Algonac, Mich.; Steward Thomas Parcrt of Port Huron, Mach.; First Mate James Haynes of Detroit, is supposed to among the dead; three or four sailors. It appears that the ill-fated steam- er passed through the canal locks at Sault Ste. Marie, Thursday, bound up the lakes with a cargo of 3,000 tons of coal from Cleveland, O. A heavy northwest gale, which was at _its height when the Nimmick plowed her way out of the Soo river into Lake Superior, looked too dangerous to be trusted of on within place managed many where 0 be The shelter of Whitefish point was accordingly taken advantage of until Saturday, when the storm seemed to have spent its force. Capt. Randall then pointed his vessel out into the big lake. All would have gone well had not the steering gear or some part of the machinery gone wrong. Only a few miles away from St. Mary's river the steamer - was dis- abled and helpless under a deadly at- tack from the’ tail of the storm. There was enough left of the tempest to dash the vessel a hopeless wreck on one of the many dangerous reefs that line the southern shore and to wash overboard Steward Parent overboard by the steamer’'s breaking to pieces under their feet, the crew began to battle in the small boats with the treacher- ous surf. Eleven managed to themselves up exhausted on the in- hospitable coast, but one boat, con- taining Capt. Randall and five of his men, capsized in the surf and . all were lost. Then, driven In a battle between federal trocps and a band of Maya Indians near San Isidor, seven soldiers and a num- ber of Indians were killed. 22 Are Condemned to Die.
