BURSTING CLOUDS.

Terrible Effects of CIoudburst in Ken
tucky-About a Dozen Persons Reported
Drowned
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 14-At Hull
creek, six miles above Maysville, Thurs
day night two dark clouds met and
burst The creek jumped over its mar
row banks and swept away several
dwelling houses and their frightened
occupants.
The stone culvert on the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad was washed out into The
river and about twelve o'clock Thursday
night while the storm was at its height
the west bound freight train ran into
the washout. The engine and nine cars
were piled one upon top OF the other sls
most out of sight in the creek bottom
Engineer E c. Roadcrap of Green

The train was made up of thirty
two cars. Nineteen car loads of shoes
and boots for Louisville went down in
the wreck. They are broken into
kindling wood. The engine is nov OUT

A little later an east bound mixed
passenger train would have passed over
the fatal culvert, when the loss OF life
would have been appalling.
James Irwin had a portable saw 1nill
located several hundred yards up Bull
creek above the railroad The clouds
suddenly bursting caused a rapid rise in
the creek, already badly swollen by che
storm. Farmers say the creek rose tNo
feet per minute and the water looked
like a wall twenty-five feet high Nhea
it got to the railroad fill. The saw mill
was lifted from its fastenings and Win
over a hundred big logs hurled violently
against the railroad stone culvert This
is probably what caused it to give way.
Huge stones weighing several toys
were carried by the creek long dis
tances. The creek rose two feet higher
than it has been in forty years.
The fury of the storm caused manF
persons on Bull creek to abandon their
homes and take to the hills else the
loss of life would have been greater.
The storm did much damage to build
ings, fences and crops in that portion of
the country. A barn on the farm Of
Dick Dawson (colored) was struck by
lightning and burned, as was also Tom
Williams dwelling, his family barely
escaping.
About dozen persons living on the
banks of Bull creek are reported
drowned. The following dead bodies
have been found: John o. Ruggles, a .
well known fisherman; Lucy Pestler,
widow, and her two daughters, Bette
and Jennie, and two sons.

SIGNED BY THE SACS.

Also BY the Foxes, Much to the Elation of
the Government Commission.
SAC AND Fox AGENCY, /. T., June IA
The National Council of the Sac and Fox
Nation agreed ON all the terms of the
contract with the United States Com
missioners yesterday afternoon. They
signed the treaty and closed the trade.
At the conclusion the Council rose and
Chief Keokuk delivered prayer in the
Indian tongue
The Commissioners are elated over
the result, and consider paying s1.23 for
their lands a better bargain than they
would have had if they paid the Chero-
KEGS 81 an acre for the Strip. The In
dams agreed to have their allotments
taken within four months after the al
loting agent arrives at the agency. This
will probably have the country ready
for opening next spring.
This reservation is thirty-five miles
long by eighteen miles wide, the longer
line extending north and south. The
Cimarron river bounds it on the north
and the North Fork on the south. The
western line is eighteen miles east OF
the eastern boundary of Oklahoma.
After the Indians take their allot-
ments there will be 443, 900 acres of land
for homesteaders. The Deep Fork
separates the reservation nearly into
halves, the northern part containing
the poorer land. This has a sandy
soil and red clay subsoil, and is
nearly all covered with small oak
trees, which are evenly but sparsely
distributed over the land, and will never
be worth any thing except for fuel and
fence posts. South of Deep Fork the
land is very much better. containing
much more prairie, and equalling the
best parts of Oklahoma. This is the
part of the reservation where nearly all
the Indians will take their allofments
