Rival County Seats.

CALDWELL, Kan. Sept. 1I.-Rival towns
have been started in tho Enid district.
One clusters around Enid. the county seat
officially established by the government.
The other also calls itself Enid, aud
Is located a short distance south of
the county seat. It was established
by q number of men who were
d~isgruntled OF the selection of tho
site for the county seat and who claimed
that the official site was a bad selection.
They claim many advantages for the rival
town, and hope TO vote their town the
county seat when the matter comes before
the people for decision. Pond Creek has
five thousand people. It would have had
seven thousand if there had been enough
lots for all comers. Many were disap-
pointed, and are returning.
Caldwell is crowded with disappointed
people. They have been coming in all
day from the strip. Some failed to get lots
and some failed to get farms. while
others found that the land was
not what they believed III to be
and deserted their claims. It is
believed that over holt of the people who
went into the strip will not stay in. Some
canDo stay because they got no claims,
and others will not stay because they pre-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HACTE. Ind, Sept. 1Z.-After sew
eral weeks of conference and deliberstion
City Bank ave finally decided on q plan
of action. and employed lawyers to look
after their interests. 1t has become plain
that unless Beach uses resources other
than the assets in the hands OF the assignee
the depositOrs. who had $4,000 in the
bank. Will not realize 10 cents or the dol
lar. They have become convinced that
they are entitled to some of the money and
property which be conveyed to others. The
first step will be TO ask the court to re-
move b. v. Marshall as assignee. Marshall
Is not only a personal and social friend of
the Beach family, but was one of the two
bondsmen for him as treasurer of the
savings bank from which Beach borrowed
thousands ofdollars In violation OF the law.
To protect the bondsmen and the bank
Beach gave a mortgage on valuable prop
erty fog about $50. OU0 just before the ssign-
ment.
The rotten condition of the bank really
Is only just beginning to be known. More
land, the cashier, who has been declaring
his ignorance innocence and TO the skepti-
cal depositors. says there was more than
S25.O 900 in currency in tho bank the night
before the assignment. 1t is understood
that this money was taken away after the
bank closed it's doors and conveyed TO the
savings bank. lt is also known that short
ly before the assignment $4,000 was paid
TO Mrs. Beach. whose $50. 0G0 worth of prop
erty eXasperates the depositors. and that
other favored ones got cash out OF the
bank in the last hours of Its existence.
After Marshall is removed the purpose
is to have the coneyances made by Beach
set aside. There Is no doubt that sensa-
tiOnsl developments will stsrtle the public.
AS one bsnker said. the worst is vet to be
make known The depositOrs held a meet
ing last night and finally decided to prose-
cute Beach unlesss he made reparation.

MADRID, Sept. 1.-THE distress in the
flooded districts of New CASTLE continues,
and the loss Of life Is greater than antici-
pated. Fresh storms and continued down
pours OF rain have delayed the departure
of the relief trains destined for
the villages which have suffered most.
Some of the latter have been entirely iso-
lated for days, and starvationtis staring the
Inhabitants In the face. The suffering in
the neIqbborhood of Villa Canas is said to
be terrible. and the tales told
about the horrors witnessed about the
caves where hundreds of the inhabitants
sought refuge is almost beyond descrip-
ton. Some of the caves were fairly choked
with corDses of men, women and children.
AbouJ eighty bodies have already been re-
covered: but this number is said to be far
below the actual total loss of life.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Sept. 17.-There Yves
a big exodus of disappointed people from
the Cherokee Strip to-day. The Santa Fe

morning and the Rock Island two.
All the regular trains on both these roads
were crowded with men and women. who
left the strip last night. and who were glGd

Of people from Illinois. who had planned TO
establish q colony of their own In the

were the most fredericksburg party that
the officials of the Union Depot had ever
seen. They were dust begrimed and weary.
They made che run on foot from the line

one-half of the people who made the run
got claims. The rest will have to go back
TO their old homes or hire out at any work
obtainable.
AT Orlando. where we made the rnn, the
crush was something terrible and the
casualties were numerous. Not half the
casualties nearly ever reached the news

area thatI t would take a thousand reporters
TO find them. At the line north of Orlando,
inst before the gun signal was fired. one man
started on foot into the strip. The soldier
on guard called upon him TO halt and raised
his rifle to his shoulder. The mans part

not 10 fire. threatening him with death If
he should do so. The man kept on running.
The soldier fired and the man dropped dead.
