81. PAUL, August ga terrible accident
has occurred here, which resulted IN num-
Der OF fatalities. Three people were killed
and seven badly injured.
The accident was the result of the late
heavy rain. Up the hillside above Page
street was deep gully, the natural outlet of
water from the country above. year ago
Page street had been flied up across this
gully leaving a small culvert to carry OF the
ordinary water. This culvert had been
ch0ked up and the recent Storm had filled
the deep basin to the brim, making q lake
two acres in.extent and forty-five feet deep.
On Monday there appeared crack three
inches wide oE the lower side of the fill, but
there was no thought of immediate danger.
Suddenly, in the night, the fill let 60 and
with mighty rush the vast body of water
swept down upon the low lands below. In
ten minutes the whole affair was over.
general alarm was sounded and ambulances
and all patrol wagons in the city were on the
scene; men, women and children were fished
out of the debris, and wrecks extending
nearly half mile. The water had carried
away the gas pipe. and left everything in
darkness. It is possible that the extent of
the loss of life may be increased.

hoMEsTKAD, PA, August ga dispatch
from Duauesne' says that a mob of 800 at
tackled a party of sixty non-union men as
they were entering the steel works to make
repairs. The mob was armed with clubs and
stones for the fight. The foreman of the
mill, Slogle, and another workman were Sc
riously injured and dozen others were more
or less hurt. The Sixteenth regiment is now
on the ground, and no more trouble is appre-
hended. Two companies will remain to
guard the works. 1t s stated that all but
sixty of the old men will return to work.
General Wiley, after consultation with
Treasury Curry and other officials of the
Carnegie office. at once issued orders to COL
Willis J. Hulings, commander of the Six
teenth regiment, to move his entire regi-
Ment at once to Duquesne to quell the

When asked the cause of the difficulty st
DuQuesne, an official of the company said
I'VE had large number of applications for
work from our old men at Duquesne. and
many OF them were to return to their old
places in the mill As they were about to
enter the works they were kept back by the
strikers, and We had to call the militia to our
aid. l do not anticipate any trouble after
the militia gets there"

Strip News ia Dallas,

DALLAS, Tex, August 9.-The News Guth-
RE, o. T., special says that Governor Seay
received telegram from Inspector Davis, Of
the interior department at Arkansas City,
saying that the commander at Fort Reno had
been ordered by the secretary of war to re-
move all the cattle from the Cherokee strip.
and that Governor Humphrey of Kansas had
ordered the sheriffs of all border counties to
keep all cattle out of the state.
Governor Seay at once telegraphed the
following instructions to every sheriff in
Oklahoma: 81 have just been informed
that the cattle are about to be removed from
the Cherokee strip, and it is possible that an
attempt will be made to drive a portion of
them through your county. This you must
prevent at all hazards, as the passage of
such cattle through your county will endan-
ger stock of the residents there. You will
therefore take such steps and summon
such assistance as may be necessary to en-
force the law, being careful, however, TO
avoid unnecessary expense"
An armed posse is already on duty on
every county line and every COW that crosses
into Oklahoma will be killed.

Stampede.

ENID, OK, August 9--At Pond creek the
cattle yards were filled with cattle and the
catt.emen were clamorin2 for cars from the
Rock Island to hurry their stock into market.
e. e. Brown had II 1000 head over the hills
west of Pond creek and the foreman in
charge of the stock was dispatched to take
the trail for western Texas. It is estimated
that $50 head in this herd will perish In
making the forced drive during the extreme
heat which is prevailing and the hot winds
that are blowing.
Charles Crogan had herd of 1000 east of
Enid and with his brother herders he is on
the trail for the Panhandle. At Birds Point
the Rock Island had built stock yards for one
man who was to ship 40, OOO head. This vast
heard with the rest must 60. Captain Mich
Ter said that he had summary instructions to-
drive everything in the territory into western
Texas.
It is evident that the troops are not shield

would bunch of steers. big prairie rire

even if the troops had not arrived on the
scene the herds would have been compelled
to abandon the range. At times during the
day the smoke and smud9e were so dense
even in the depot, that stands out on tho
desolate plain like a sentinel. that it was an
effort to breathe, and the gravest fears were
entertained that the fire would cross the Rock
Island and sweep the western plain, over
which vast herds of cattle are being driven
to escape the cavalry. The cattlemen charge
the sooners with causing the fires to deprive
their herds of range privileges, but the soon-
ers deny the imputation and say that the
cattlemen, realizing that they must get out,
fired the grass so as to keep the troops back
while they are escaping into the Panhandle

FoRr DoDGE, A.-Aueust h-Whether to
forsake allegiance to the Roman Catholic
;Aurch or the order of Knights of Pythias is
troubling about one third of the most active
members of the lodge of the latter order
here. The same question viii have to 30
decided BY Catholic Knights all over the

In response to a personal letter from L. r.
Gemmett, two Iowa Catholic priests, Bish-
ops Cosgrove and Hennessey, have written
letters declaring that the Knights of Pythias
order is condemned by the church in COM
mon with all secret societies, and the penalty
for joining it Is accommodation.
The Catholic knights here say that they
joined the order after consulting their pastor,
who said that Archbishop Ireland of st Paul
and Bishop Marty of Sioux Falls had ex-
pressed their Judgment that it was not pro-

The War at Law Begun,


PuTsBURG, Pa. August 5.-The threatened
suits against the Carnegie officials and the
Pinkertons, charging them with murder,
were begun and warrants issued for the ar
rest of the defe ndants.
At II o'clock Messrs. Brennan, Cox and
Hugh Ross, the prosecuting witnesses, went
to Alderman Kings and made the informa-
ton, and the warrants were issued. Robert
and William Pinkcrton are the heads of the
Pinkerton agency; j. A. Potter and ]. g.
Cory are s1perintendents at the works, and
Messrs. Frick, Lovejoy, Leishmann aud
Curry are officials of the company, and the
balance are Pinkerton men.
Attorney Cox said it was not their inten-
ton to arrest Mr.. Frick at present, or do
anything to endanger his life or health. I've
will not arrest all of them at present." said
he; I'VE have delayed this matter not be-
cause we doubted our position. but to get
necessary evidence"
It is probable that information will be
made later against the same persons for con-
spiracy to decrease the wages of wOrkmen
and conspiracy to incite a riot by bringing
force of armed men to Homestead. The at
torneys say the suits were held off on account
of the shooting of Mr.. Frick. Another rea-
son for delay in serving the warrant against
Frick IS that his baby, born some two weeks
ago, il dead.

To Drive Off Texas Cattle.


There came near being open war on the
Cherokee strip the other day. herd of
5000 Texas cattle were unloaded at Chillocco
station, just south of the Kansas state line,
and the cowboys in charge started to drive
the cattle west along the line. This aroused
the farmers along the line and they at once
organized a body of armed men and de-
clared they would shoot every steer in the
herd if an attempt was made to move them
in that direction.
Superintendent Coppick, of the Chillocco
Indian school, also sent out a company of
Indian boys with instructions to shoot any
of the cattle that came upon the school res
ervation. About a dozen of the animals
that came to near the school herd were killed
by the boys, and the farmers stood ready to
make good their threats, when the cattlemen
became alarmed and drove the cattle into
the strip.
