Colonel Boudinot ON the Opening of the
Cherokee Outlet.
LITTLE Rock, Ark. July ia special
from Fort Smith, Ark, SAYS: Colonel E
c. BOudinot, the noted Cherokee lawyer.
made a speech at a picnic Yesterday in
the Cherokee Nation. few miles from
here. to large concourse of people. He
expressed his views without reserve rela-
tive to the Cherokee Commission and the
sale of the Cherokee Outlet. That these
lands were to be the homes of American
farmers in a very short time the speaker
regarded as certain as fate and,
in his opinion, common sense
and the welfare of the Cherokees
dictated the policy of meeting the
Commissioners half way and the sale
of the lands on the best terms possible.
He believed the Commissioners were dis
posed to be friendly and generous in their
dealings with the Indians and that by
prudent management $40, OoO, 0JO might be
obtained for all the lands occupied and
unoccupied west of the Arkansas river,
and he was in favor of paying out the
amount per capita to all the citizens of
the Nation. the adopted whites, Shawnees,
Delawares, colored and native Torn.

A FURIOUS FLOOD.
Destruction In the little Kanawha Vale.
Lives Lost at NorristOwn. w. Va.

Destruction In the little Kanawha Valley
Lives Lost at NorristOwn, w. Va.
PARKERsBURG. w. Va, July 20-The
greatest disaster which has ever befallen
the little Kanawha valley came Thursday
night in the shape of terrible cloudburst
which completely flooded the country, dc.
stroving many lives, carrying off thou.
sands of dollars in property and running
crops for miles.
The deluge fell here about dusk and con.
tinuei to fall in torrents, doing much
damage in the city. The worst of the
storm struck the lower side of the Kan
awha. filling the small tributaries from
bank to bank and ending in the worst
flood in the recollection of the oldest in
habitarts. In three hours the Kanawha
rose six feet and ran out with such veloc.
ity that it carried every thing before it.
At this point thousands of logs and a
number of boats went out or were sunk,
and Mrs Isaac Tucker, Martin Lawless
and an unknown man were drowned.
Above the destruction was still greater.
Big Tygart valley is ruined. A big mill
near its mouth went out and took Tygart
bridge with it. Fences and crops and
much live stock were lost.
At Esterville. fifteen miles above, half a
dozen residences were carried off bodily
and left in corn fields.
In Clay the fine church and three DWELL
ings were wrecked. Several steamers on
the river were wrecked.
The worst story of all comes from Nor
rstown, a small village near the head of
Tacker creek, where the cloudburst con.
centrated. coming down about midnight
and totally destroying it with many of its
people. The first report fixed the loss at
eleven, but later news seems to fix the
loss at a greater number. Houses are said
to have been picked up and hurled against
each other in such short space of time that
no chance OF escape was given the people.
Among those dead at Norristown are:
Jake Kiger, his brothers, Joseph and
Thomas. a man named Bailey, Orrville
West and child.
At Pill Brush all the bridges and Gull
verts are washed away and it is impos-
sible to reach or communicate with that
point or any other upon the upper waters.
1t is impossible now to enumerate the loss
even here, as the river is still rising. A
family boat containing three or four per.
sons went out during the night and it is
believed all are lost.

SAUCE FROM SAvAG=S.


Painted Indians Threaten Others. Hut Are
suppressed BY General Crook.
CHEYENNE RIVER AGENCY. Oak, July
1s.-The council met yesterday at about
ten O'Clock. A large delegation of the
hostile faction were present, surrounding
the chiefs tent. Il was evident that it
was the object of the speakers to indicate
that no signers need be expected.
General Crook finally stopped further
discussion by sending for the rolls and
invited such Indians as wished to
sign to do so. Chasing Crow
stepped forward and said he
was in favor of the bill and touched the
pen. This was the signal for an angry
ouiburst from tn. Cherry creek band who
began TO crowd around the table where
the rolls We're spread out. Two painted
Indians sprang to the front, one brand
ishing large club and threatened to
brain any one who signed General
Crook stood near with his hand on a
heavy chair. prepared to knock the Indian
down at the first hostile demonstration,
when the latter was arrested by the pc.
lice and hurried out of the pavilion.
Genera Cook then spoke forcibly for a
few moments. He told them that this
Commission had been sent here BY the
President for the purpose of explaining an
acs of Congress, and that it had done its
duty. If any one did not understand, the
Commissio ners were ready at any time to
explain. If any one wanted to sign, they
should be allowed to do so. Matters were
in bad shape if a lot of breech-
clouted. blanketed Indians, who had
just come on the reservation and
cared for nothing so long as they got
enough to eat were to be allowed to pre-
vent those Indians who were trying to
provide for the future of their children
from signing. He said if the police could
not protect them he would bring men here
who could. He wanted it distinctly I'M
derstood that those who chose to sign
would be protected. This effectively si-
fenced the disturbance.
The police prevented the crowd from
pressing toe closely around the signing
tables ard opened large lane for them
through the hostile faction. Signatures
We're taken rapidly for an hour and then
continued slowly. There were 100 sig
natures III, to five p. IN.
The opposition here is thoroughly organ
lied and has the support of ma jority of
the police force and of all the wealthy
half breeds at other agencies. The half
breeds have been as a rule in favor of the
bill and the police force its staunchest
friends. The wcrst element of the Sioux
reservation is located here. the Cherry
creek bands being mainly those Indians
who were within a few years brought
here from Poplar river and were the last
of the hostiles TO come in These condi-
tions make the work of the Commis sion
very difficult.

FRIGHTENED GIRLS.

Surrounded BY Flames They Jump Out of
atactory Into the Arms of Men.
HARTFORD, Conn, July 19.-The Glas-
tonburg stockinet factory here was de-
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The
flames broke out in the picking room Of the
first floor and cut off all communication
with the second floor, where forty girls
were employed. A scene Of wild excite
ment ensued as the frightened girls ap-
peared at the windows calling for help.
There had teen no adequate provision
made for such an emergency, either in the
matter of fire escapes or ladders, and
there were no means Of extinguishing the
flames. As the flames crept toward the
windows the girls climbed out on stills
and the crowd below directed them
to jump. This thev did and they
were caught in the arms OF the
mon below. One Of the girls had her leg
fractured and a dozen others were burned
severely, but not dangerously, some Of
them having their eyebrows singed Oh.
The loss is about $4,000; insured.
