HUNDREDS OF LIVES IN PERIL BY TIE FALL
OF A GRAND STAND AT OKLAHOMA.
St Louis, July "A dispatch TO The Repub-
lie" from Oklahoma says: The festivities of the
Fourth of July were brought to a sad ending at
p. m. by the falling of the grand stand. Nearly
900 people had secured seats to witness the races
when without warning the structure fell, bury
ing the mass of people beneath it. The cries and
groans Of the injured soon filled the air, and 1t
was feared that scores of lives had been lost. Al
most as soon as the accident occurred the militia
under the command of Captain Stiles were Or
dered to the scene, and rendered valuable ser

when the victims were taken out that none were
dead, though several were perhaps fatally, and
many badly injured. The only death thus far
is that of the eighteen-months-old
child of DR.. J. A. Ryan,. of Jimtown,
Indian Territory, which died a short time after
the accident. One of the most seriously injured
is Mrs d. II. Martindale, of Howe, Texas. Mrs
Mollie Campbell of Pearls Valley, Ind. Ter also
received serious internal INJURIES which, 1t Is
feared, will prove fatal. Herbert Glover, age
eighteen, will also probably die Fifty-six other
