LAKE TUG WENT DOWN
Port Huron, Mich., June 30- The tug Magton Teller sank in Lake St. Clair last night and three crew went down with the boat. The dead are Al Homes, engineer; John Kirk, negro cook, and George Mosiner, fireman, all of Detroit.
Captain John Cornwall and his brother Ray were rescued by clinging to an over turned small boat. They were picked up by the steamer Norwalk.
The Teller was towing the schooner Canton downbound across the lake lake, when she began leaking badly. The pumps would not work. A strenuous effort was made to beach the tug, but before reaching shore her fires were extinguished. The steam was exhausted and she filled rapidly and sank.
