CovNoroS, Tenn. April 4.-The de-
tails Of homicide which occurred near

tablished by the surveyor and Yarbro
tore Il down rs fast as built. Yesterday,
Il seems, Billings had gone TO
the disputed territory for the
purpose Of rebuilding his fence, aud as u
matter Of procaution, had taken his
double.barrelcd shotgun along. About
II o'clock Yarbro appeared upon the
scene aud dispute arose. Angry words
were used, and Yarbro advanced upon

RciectIon Of Bond Oncr-.

WAsRINoToN, April 4.-The action of
Secretary Window today in rejecting large
offerings Of a per cent. bonds at 1851,
1851 and 1881 is regarded at the Treasury
Department as indicating his purpose OF
not paying over lOS for these bonds, for
the present at least. When asked this
afternoon why he had not accepted any Of
ioday's offers, the Secretary replied: "The
rates were too high" and declined TO say
anything more on the subject. A promi-
nent official Of the department however,
said today that it was strange that there
were so few offerings Of per cents, as
there was no good reason for supposing
the Secretary would no, buy bonds Of that
loan, provided they are offered at rcasona-
be rates. The last offer Of per cents.
was at 1901. II was rejected, the official
sGid, because II was above the prevailing
market rates and not necessarily because
the Secretary does not wish TO apply any
Of the surplus to the payment Of that par
ticular loan, :, has been con jeciured. IL
II believed Secretary Window will outline
his policy in this matter more definitely in
a few days. lie has been busy with so
: many other matters up 10 this time that he
has not been able TO give It the considera-
ton he purposes.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 4.-During
the last two days South Dakota and
Minnesota have been swept by q series OF
wind storms which have caused hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars damage to prop

The storm started Monday night aud
swept over large area south OF tho
Northern Pacific road in Dakota aud ex-
tending into the Southern tiers OF counties
in this State. Tho greatest damage has
not been caused by the wind alone, but in
many places, fires, famed into fury by the
storms, have wiped out OF existence sey-
eral small villages and hundreds Of farm
ers' houses. The towns almost completely
destroyed are Violin, Olivet, Pukwana,
Lesterville and Mount Vernon, and three
or four other villages were badly damaged.

three is demolished aud 100 people are

MIroHED D. T., April 4. -Nobody but
a man who has stood before prairie fire
and tried to stay its awful rush and roar
when it is famed by fresh breeze can
appreciate its almost resistless force. Tho
fires that have brought so much loss and
suffering to Southeastern Dakota in the
last few days were practically Irresistible
Flames in some instances leaped over 100
feet Of plowed ground and rushed away
again on their career OF destruction. All
ordinary precautions were vain. The
spring has been very dry and the top OF
the ground has been dusty or baked. The
signal observer at Yankton says that the
humidity Of the air was but per cent
Tuesday, a condition OF dryness never be-
fore attained. As the mean annual hui
midity is 20, this shows that the atmos-
phere was practically devoid Of moisture.
Then the wind from the northeast blew
between forty and fifty miles an hour
tanning the flames into fury.
Under these conditions wherever fire
touched the grass II bursted out with a
flash almost like powder, and shot away
across the prairie like an arrow, its course
ever widening. To extinguish II by water,
Of course, was out OF the question. Flow
ing fire breaks wss slow work, and the
high winds often drove the flames across
them.
Ii was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when
the people OF Mount Vernon saw the wide
spreading prairie northwest OF them break
out in blaze. The smoke was dashed
into and through the town on the wings
o. the wind. The flames rushed after with
savage fury. Mitchell was telegraphed to
for help, and 100 liremen with hook and
ladder were sent at once. The entire pop
ulaion Of Mount Vernon and the men
from Mitchell met the furious flames on
the outskirts OF the town and fought with
desperation, but in vain. No lives were
lost, but forty-fye buildings were burned
and 100 families left homeless The loss
is put at $4,000. Outside Of the town II
Is impossible yet 10 say what the loss is.
Lonely little farm houses scattered over
the prairie are wiped out by dozens, Sto.
rics Of losses OF life may come in later. As
near M can be estimated this morning the
losses in South Dakota will reach 5000
