No Great Damage Done and n Warm Spell
on the Way
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Aug. "a
Specials covering Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Wisconsin and also
western Iowa were received to-day
in regard to the frost of last night
The district particularly covered IS the
wheat fields of Minnesota and the Da-
lotas, and the reports are most en-
couraging. Generally speaking very
light damage has been done to
wheat. Where there has been any 1t IS
in scattered sections and only to late
sown wheat the early sown being out
of the way. Taking all together the
damage is not enough to make any dlf-
ference in the size of the crop or grade
of the grain.
What is still more encouraging, q
warm wave is following the late cold
visitor and further damage is not prob
able. At Jamestown, n. D., at o'clock
the thermometer registered 40 above,
and at Maysville, n. D., -
What damage was done was mainly
to corn and garden truck and this dam
age is confined to scattered sections
The points in North Dakota reporting
damage are Cakes, where late wheat
was seriously injured and corn almost
destroyed; Lidgewood, wheat and oats
injured per cent; Grandin, one-third
of the wheat injured; and Mandan, corn
slightly injured.
In South Dakota serious damage to
corn and late wheat and fax were done
at Aberdeen, Chamberlain and An
dover; at WatertOwn corn suffered.
Grand Forks, Bismarck, Miner, Penn
bina, Devils Lake, jamestown. Hills
boro and host of other North Dakota
points report no damage to wheat or
other grain. a Huron, South Dakota,
dispatch says no damage was done IN
the Jim river valley.

Melancholy Search For the Victims
Twenty-Five Recovered So Far.
New YORK, Aug. 25.-Delving for the
dead in the ruins of Park place contin-
ued uninterrupted throughout last
night, except when the rain poured
down in such torrents as to render la
Dor beneath it impossible.
At the Office of boiler inspection, at
police headquarters, it was stated that
according to the records there the Tay-
lor building had no steam boilers of
any kind, nor had there been any there
for several years past The steam
power used in it was supplied from out
side sources.
The work OF searching for the dead
began soon after the disaster Saturday
afternoon and has continued almost
un;nterruptedly since. Saturday night
an electric light was hung on a post
across the street and torches were
placed near the edge of the ruins.
Seventy-five Italians assisted the fire.
men. Two lines of men were formed
and the debris was passed out to the
street.
1t is thought that less than half of
the bodies have been removed. About
fifty persons are supposed to have lost
their lives
A crowd of people standing on the
steps of the building opposite the wreck
saw one of the Italians working in the
ruins stoop over the body of one of the
victims and take something out Of the
vest pocket They shouted to the po-
lice and boy ran across the street and
told Policeman Sweeney, who arrested
the Italian. he was compelled to show
what he had in his pocket and the first
thing he pulled out was a silver watch
which he admitted he had picked up. :"
He was taken to 4 station house fol-
lowed by a mob. many of whom shout
ed Lynch him! lynch himr' From
the station the Italian was taken to the
Tombs police court. There he gave
his name as Rosso Savano He said he
intended to give the watch to his boss
He was held fer trial

CALDWELL, Kan, Aug 25.-SaturdaJ
night Deputy United States Marshal
Ed Short captured Charley Bryant,
one of the famous Dalton gang, at Hen
nessey, Ok. This gang had been max
ing their headquarters in the Cherokee
strip and Short had been hot on their
trail. The capture was made under
difficulties Short waited until Bryant
had gone to bed, when he rushed into
his room and covered him with his re-
volver. Bryant tried to get his guns
but he was overpowered and hand
cuffed. When the Rock Island train
came north through Hennessey Sun
dav afternoon Short boarded the train
with his prisoner to take him to jail at
Wichita.
After the train started he asked the
conductor if he could take his prisoner
into the baggage car, as he thought the
balance of the gang would attempt to
take him at some of the stations through
the strip. The prisoner was taken to
the baggage car, but as the baggage
man had no weapons Short returned to
the smoker and brought revolver
This was given to the baggageman,
whose carelessness is the cause of the
bravest United States marshal IN the
west being a corpse now. He laid 1t
down on the top of his safe and went to
the mail department. The conductor
was writing at a desk in the car when
he was suddenly ordered to jump.
Looking up he saw the prisoner holding
a revolver within four feet Of his head
About this time the train was slow
ing up for Waukomis, a dismal station
on the prairie, with nothing but de-
pot and a section house. The des-
perado opened the end door of the car
TO make his escape, but saw Short
standing on the platform of the smoker
with a Winchester in hand ready TO re-
pulse any attack that might be made to
rescue the prisoner. Bryant immedi-
atelv closed the door, and with his
handcuffed hands cooked the revolver,
opeDed the door and fired a
bnllet through Shorts body, it
going in at the top of his left shoulder,
in front passing clear through the body
and coming out under the right arm at
the back. Short fred at him with his
winchester, the ball striking Bryant
square in the. breast, passing complete
lv through the body, and struck the
rartition In the ear, carrying flesh and
cloth with II. Both men received their
death and only wounds in the first two
shots. but kept on firing. Bryant emp
tied the six chambers Of his revolver

STRANGE CASE OF HYPOTHEClTION.
Jay Gould Accused of Diverting Union
Depot Bonds to the General Revenue Of
His RaiIroad-The Council
Inquiry.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 25.-The state
ment was made yesterday by T. L
Kimball, vice-president of the Union
Pacific railroad system, that Jay Gould
had diverted $500, 900 of union depot
bonds to paying the general expenses
of the Union Pacific road, and to this
Mr.. Kimball attributed the failure of
his company to construct the depot as
per contract after it had been inaugu-
rated with great flourish of trumpets
last fall
There was a conference yesterday
morning in the private Office of Mr..
Kimbal between that official and
council committee appointed last week
for the purpose of finding out what
could be done toward getting work re-
sumed on the union depot. After some
little talk Mr. Kimball informed the
councilmen that the Union Depot Co.
had no funds with which to complete
the work, even if there were no other
obstacles in the way. This was eX-
planned by the statement that the bonds
of the Union Depot Co. issued last fall
had been diverted to meet the running
expenses of the Union Pacific and Bur
lington roads, and was gone beyond re-
call There was no way to get it back
and the only thing to do would be for
the companies to go to work and put up
the amount used. This would require
time and might not be successfully ac-
complished at all.
Mr.. Kimball spoke for himself and
- l,
He said they were both anxious to have
the depot completed and would do
everything in their power.
One of the conditions-the prime one
which Mr.. Kimball said would be
necessary to meet before further work
would be done-wOuld be the dismissal
of the injunction suits now pending in
court prohibiting the delivery Of the
city viaduct bonds to the depot COM
pany.
The councilmen present refused to
agree to any such condition until work
should have been actually and earnest
ly begun on the structure and assur-
ances given that there would be no
further delay in the completion of the
depot
Mr. Kimball said that he would make
an effort to get the matter before con-
ference Of railroad officials.
Jay Gould will start home in few
days from his summer retreat up the
Idaho, and viii be met by Mr. Kim
ball. who will bring him to Omaha for
- conference with officials of the union
depot and of the Burlington road.
Mr.. Kimball hopes to have the mag
mates arrive at decision at the meet
ing that viii result in the renewal of
work on the long promised, long de-
layed union depot.
