A Section of the State Reported to BE In
Great Distress-Disease and Famine star
ing the People in the Face.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 21.-For
three year the counties of Starr. Hidal-
go. Encinal. Zapata and Duval have
been subjected to drought of such Sc
verify as to render the production of the
necessaries OF life impossible.
The season for planting this year has
passed and early crops having been
killed by frost there is no hope for re-
lief unless summer rains should secure
q light fall crop.
The loss of stock, the depreciation in
value otall kinds of property, the ina
bility of ranchmen to procure money
for the payment of taxes, the prevalence
of smallpox through a section extend
ing through San Ignacio in Zapata
county, to Rio Grande City in Starr
county and the balef1l effects of the
Cara revolutions combined have pro-
duced restitution hitherto unknown.
The losses on cattle, the principal in
dustry of this section, are estimated at
so per cent, and in Nueces county alone
10000 head have died.
The famine district contains popula-
ton estimated at $4,000 to 20. 900 people,
and probably one-quarter of this num-
Der require assistance, while the re-
sources of the balance of the population
are only adequate TO maintain them
selves and families.
The counties in which the suffering
is reported form the main portion of the
southern extremity of Texas Zapata,
Starr and Hidalgo counties, bordering
on the Rio Grande, the boundary line
between the United States and Mexico,
and Nueces on the Gulf of Mexico.
Corpus Christi is the chief city Of
Nueces county and Rio Grande of Starr
county. The country is covered with a
thick growth of chapparaL Fort Ring

Wild Rumors as to Troubles Which Lack

Wild Rumors as to Troubles Which Lack
Confirmation and Are Very Likely I'm
true.
ELRENo, Ok, April 21.-From all
over the new country come rumors OF
warfare and violent deaths. Absolute
confirmation of these wild stories is
lacking, however. in every ease and the
most of them are utterly groundless.
Most men in Elreno and those return
ing from the open lands are willing to
wager that the rush into the Cheyenne
and Arapaho lands has resulted in the
death of no man. but all manner of
stories come in none the less.
At noon yesterday these reports had
reached Il total of twenty men killed.
There was 4 tale OF fourteen men slain
IN pitched battle in county II. I, was
to this county that the rival coicries of
allied Texans and hrllauSans and the
men from Kansas went. War be-
tween these two was predicted from
the start. Late this afternoon the story
came in how the two opposing bands
fought viciously ut Rossmore, the new
town site, with result of fourteen
dead. 1t was struggle for possession
of the town, the stories said.
Then it was declared that southwest
of this city sooners had fired on troops,
a battle had ensued and sooner was
killed. No such affair, however, was
reported at Fort Reno, to which post
couriers are to be sent from all detach-
mentS at every unusual occurrence

Report to the Indian Commissioner
States There Are About $4,000 Cattle In
the Western Fart.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Indian Com
missioner Morgan received z report yes
terdav from one of his agents in the
Indian territory stating that a fair
estimate would place the number of
cattle in the western part of the
Cherokee strip at Il. 600 head. This was
in the extreme western portion of the
strip. The report was sent to the war
department and the commissioner OBJ
served that no doubt the cattle would
be removed inst as soon as the soldiers
were released from the duties imposed
by the recent opening OF the lands TO
settlement.
The Indian bureau is making ar
rangements to lease the hiowa and
Comanche reservation. in all about two

The Indiana Supreme Court Holds That
Editors Are Not in Contempt For Calling
the Attention of Judges and Grand Juries
to Violations of Law.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 25.-The
supreme court, Judge Olds handing
down the opinion, in which all the
judges concurred, reversed the action of
Judge Taylor. of the Vigo circuit court,
relative to w. o. Fishback. editor, and
George NJ. Allen, proprietor of the Terre
Haute Express. These gentlemen were
sent to Jail for contempt of court in
writing and publishing articles rela-
tive to bids for a sewer in Terre
Haute, and charging that Judge
Taylor stopped a grand jury inves-
tigation as to alleged corruption
in connection with the bids. The su
preme judges hold that it is legitimate
and proper for the press to call the at
tention of a judge and grand jury and
officers of the law to violations of law
believed to have been committed and
ask that an investigation be made.
This has been done by the Terre Haute
papers in this instance. The court
then reviewed the articles which had
been printed in the Express, and held
that they did not cast any reflection
upon the court. They were rather
in the nature of a criticism of
the grand jury. Further along in
the opinion. Judge Odds said that
it ought to be understood that
the public press has rights with which
courts haze no power to interfere. 1t
was also recognized by him that there
is a limit beyond which self-respecting
newspapers should not pass. He said
in this connection that it is seldom that
a self-respecting journalist so far for
gets himself as to trespass upon the
rights of the Judiciary. In summing
up, the court held that the defendants
were entitled to acquittal on their an
swer. and the decision was therefore re-
versed and the case remanded back for
a hearing
