GINA. Quarters were then assigned to
the men. At the head of the cayalcade
was a beautiful horse with handsome
bride and saddle, intended for Lee to

when men could communicate wsth
each other IL Was found that al were
in darkness. The gas-works were de-
stroyed and al the street-lights wers
out. Only by lightning flashes were
the frightened people able TO csten
glimpses Of the desolation that had
wrecked that little city. The number OF
deaths was miraculously small. The
next duty was to search for the imprison-
ed and injured. In this there was aprompt
and vhole-hearted effort. Boniires
were lighted and torches improvised.
| The debris was overturned to see u any
more dead could be found. The cheer
full. welcome doors Of such houses as
were not destroyed were opened for the
bouseless ones driven into the rain. In
many cases these were utterly bereft OF
all their household goods. The night
was fearful one but it was full OF
helpful work for the stronger. The
sheriff called upon the militia to set Q
guard over the exposed stocks Of oil
business-houses for they were all
broken or destroyed, and prowling
thieves were not wanting even in the
first hour Of the city's misfortune. or
course their numbers. grew to-day,
yhen crowds of visitors poured in.
With daylight came most dis
heartening spectacle. The streets
wsre wellnigb impassable from
trees and parts Of houses cast into
them. The worst OF all was the sight
of the poor, who had lost all, and who
had no place Of shelter. They wan
dered hopelessly about, as if they were
strangers. OF course the people whose
houses were not ruined began at once
to care for their unfortunate FELLOWSHIP
ferers. Farmers soon began to pour
into the town, drawn by curiosity, but
at the same time bringing with them
substantial aid for the destitute. Be
fore the day ended the councils had
taken formal action by organizing re-
lief committee, and by night much was
done toward preventing actual priva-
ton. The great wonder is that more
lives were not lost.
In the Odd-Fellows' hall forty men,
bers were gathered at meeting in the
second story when the storm came.
The building was literally thrown down,
yet not one was injured. Thirty-one
went down with the ruins and escaped,
while nine chung to the walls Of an ad-
joining block and were rescued by lad
ders.

GALVESTON, September "A spe-
cial to the Ners from Gainesville,
Tex, says: "At about IL o'clock
Monday night wagon arrived in this
city with the dead bodies of jim and
Pink Lee, noted desperadoes and out
laws, who for two years past were the
terror Of the people Of Delaware. Bend,
and Cook counties. Their plan of
operation was to steal cattle on the
Texas side and drive them across the
Red river into the Indian Territory,
where the three Lee boys had a ranch.
Last April, while John and Henry
Rolf, two respectable cattle-owners
Of this county, with two officers, one Of
whom was deputy United States mar
shall, were on searching expedition in
the Chickasaw Nation for cattle bearing
Roff's brand, they came upon the
stroDgholds Of the Lee gang and brayely
approached the stockade to arrest the
cattle-thieves. The desperadoes opened
fire through the portfolios Of their for
tifcations, killing both Of the Rolf bro
theirs and the two officers, whose bodies
lay exposed for several days and were
partially eaten by hogs. Since then
large rewards have been offered for the
capture of the Lees, dead or alive. Bill
Lee. together with two members Of the
gang named Stein, was captured in
May and taken to Fort Smith, Ark.
for trial before the United States
Court. All efforts to locate and
capture Jim and Pink Lee proved
unavailing till Monday evening. Many
detectives have at various times worked
on the case in the hope Of securing the
various rewards, which aggregate
$1,000. Yesterday Detective Heck
Thomas, Of Fort Worth, learned that
the Lee brothers were somewhere in the
vicinity Of Dexter, small village Of
this county, and taking two officers
named James Taylor and James Settle
with him, he started out in search OF the
desperadoes. About 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon the officers came upon the
outlaws upon John Washington's ranch.
where they were cutting pasture fence.
The officers dismounted and crept up
within forty yards Of the brothers and
ordered them to surrender. For an
swer the outlaws opened fire on the Of
ficers, which the latter returned
with thfT Winchesters, killing Pink
Lee and wounding Jim in the neck
with the first volley. jim fell, but
continued to fire, discharging ten shots
at the officers before he was killed.
Thousand of persons viewed the re.
mains yesterday. The faces Of tht
dead outlaws show them to have beer
ignorant and brutal. Jim and Bill Lex
were leaders Of gang Of about twenty
thieves. They are said to have com
mitted over forty cold-blooded murder;
within the past two years. No banC
Of desperadoes and thieves ever in
tested the Red-river country who were
more terrible to honest cowmen thar

quest on the bodies yesterday after
noon, this being thought necessary Il

A Bitter Railroad Rate War.


CHATTANOOGA, TENN, September
9.-1he bitterest rate war that has
ever occurred between southern rail-
roads is now in progress. The war was
begun two weeks ago by the Western
and Atlanta road, which made cut Of
So per cent. in the eastern rates out of
Chattanooga. This cut was made on
account Of the rivalry existing between
that line and the East Tennessee, Vir-
GINA and Georgia road. The cut was
not met, and thereupon the West
ern and Atlantic officials an
nounced that the low rates
would be permanent. AT once the
East Tennessee made cut OF 60 per
cent. on eastern business out Of Allan
ia, and the Richmond and Danyille was
brought into the fight. 1t is now said
that the officials Of the Western and
Atlantic railroad will open a ticket
Office in Knoxville and begin an indis-
criminate cut to all southern points.
The Louisville and Nashville is being
drawn into the fight, and threatens to
make the rate from Chattanooga to
Memphis 90 instead Of sS, as now
blow against the East Tennessee sys-
TEN. All the southern lines are be-
coming involved.
