WORK OF THE HURRICANE
Great Loss of Life in a Milwaukee
Water Works Tunnel
HEAVY SNOW IN MINNESOTA
Terrific Snow and Wind Storm in the
Hawkeye State Damages Crops
and Fruit

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 20-Lake
Michigan is being swept by one of the
worst easterly gales experienced in
years. The sea is running very high
and vessels are unable to venture out
of the harbor. A small vessel is ashore
at the head of Juneau. The worst feat
ure of the gale is the probable loss of
twenty lives by the washing away of a
house over the crib at the terminus of
the new waterworks tunnel. No men
are in sight and it is believed they were
swept away, but they may be in the air
lock below. Five or six men can be
seen clinging to the machinery and
timbers of the water works crib with
the water sweeping over them. 1t is
thought that the others may be dead in
the chamber below from lack of air.
The life-saving crew has been unable to
render assistance as yet. 1t is now
known that twenty-five men went out
to the waterworks crib last night. I'm
less rescued soon all that may be alive
at this hour must perish, as the crib
is submerged by every wave. The tug
Welcome has returned from the crib.
The life-savers found one man, whom
they rescued. He will probably die
from exposure and exhaustion. AS
there are no signs of any Of the rest it
is believed the twenty-one men were
either swept away or are dead in the
crib chamber. The man rescued from
the wrecked waterworks by the tug
Welcome and life-saving crew was 50
exhausted when taken aboard the tug
that he was unable to speak.

A ToRNADo's WORK
1t Causes Death and Devastation in Its
Tracks-Dead and Wounded

1t Causes Death and Devastation in Its
Tracks-Dead and Wounded
MERIDIAN, Miss, April 2O-A fright
full tornado crossed Jasper and Clarke
counties yesterday afternoon. The
cyclone originated in Jasper county,
thirty-five miles from here, and trav-
eled in northeasterly direction. A
settlement of negroes cabins was de-
stroyed and many unfortunate inmates
perished. Colonel Berry's magnificent
plantation was swept clean, but fortu-
nately none of the family were injured.
From this point to Barnett, thirty
miles south, the storm was especially
severe. DR.. Il. KrOuse, one of the larg-
est plantation owners in the South,
was heavy loser. His son had his
skull crushed, and his wife and daugh-
ter were slightly injured. A negro on
the plantation, named Henry German,
with his wife and nine children, were
imprisoned under the ruins of their
cabin. "A fire, originating from the
kitchen stove, slowly roasted the un-
fortunate wretches. Three miles east
of Barnett the wind struck the neigh
borhood of Farms. n. +. Leggett's
store was destroyed and his stock of
merchandise is now hanging in shreds
upon the branches of the forest trees.
His wife and children were buried in
the ruins, which caught fire, and they
would have perished bat for the timely
arrival OF neighbors.
A little further on three negro cabins
were struck and two negroes were
killed and several badly wounded
Crossing the Memphis and Ohio track,
north of Shubert's, the storm created
havoc among the negro cabins on diff
ferent plantations. Reports of damage
are coming in slowly, but such as have
been received indicate an awful loss of
life and property. All along for thirty
miles the cyclones path is strewn with
the dead carcasses of horses, cattle and
all descriptions of live stock, while
crops are ruined. The loss will reach
into hundreds of thousands of dollars.

SUMAS RANCHER KILLED
John Marshall is Shot Dead on His
Own Threshold
THE RECORD OF A RAINY DAY
Large Increase of Business Along the
Water Front-Shipments of Blue
Canyon Coal

SUMAs, April 2O-The news of foul
mnrder at Huntington, b. G., just
across the international border from
Sumas, reached town this morning.
For some years there has lived on a
fine ranch near the boundary line John
Marshall, a man supposed to be of
English birth, but who has often been
called "a Portuguese! from his swarthy
complexion. Marshall pre-empted a
ranch some three years ago and devoted
himself to its cultivation. Everything
went well and fortune prospered him,
and he accumulated some money. Re
Gently he was Offered $1,000 for the
ranch. but he refused to part with it.
He had steadily improved his farm and
it began to be noised about that he was
a man of wealth.
He was an Open-handed, free hearted,
generous man, unmarried and about 35
years Of age. He kept a couple ofcows
on the ranch and sold the milk, be-
sides attending TO his ranch work.
"Wednesday evening he was inSumas,
but went home early, and Yesterday
morning his dead body was found upon
the threshold of his house. Marshall
had evidently been murdered by shot
from a revolver, the bullet having
entered his forehead just above the
right eyebrow.
From the position in which the body
was found it would seom that the as
.ls5aNa h.a1 e.
knocked at the door for admittance,
and as soon as Marshall opened it, he
was shot through the head When
the body was found, his pipe, which he
had evidently been smoking when he
opened the door, was in his mouth,
while an empty purse lay on the plat
form in front of the door. The dead
mans brow also showed the marks Of
powder, where the pistol had been
pressed against his head. The assassin,
no doubt, had knocked at the door and
as it was opened by Marshall he had
been shot dead in his tracks. Then
his pockets and the house were rified
although there were no visible signs
inside the house that such had been
the case,
Suspicion points to man whose
name Is unknown and who has been
in the employ of Marshall for some
time past. Yesterday morning when
the crime was discovered the man was
nowhere to be found. IL is thought
that the murder was committed about
10 O'Clock last night. Montgomery,
the hunter who found the dead body
of Marshall, was in the habit of visit
ing the house each day for milk.
Marshall was very popular in and
about Sumas, and if his murderer had
been captured it would have gone hard
with him.
Mrs. Gurnea and Miss Horn will
open dressmaking parlors in room 81
of the Mason building next Monday.

CHINESE ACTORS ADMITTED
A Number of Cinnamon Allowed to Land
From the Mogul

TACOMA, April 20-Everybody con-
nected with the Northern Pacific
Steamship company heaved a sigh of
relief yesterday afternoon when the in
spection of the Chinese passengers was
completed. 1t was a peculiarly diff
cult and thankless job at best, and
somebody was bound to be dissatisfied
with the result. The work was re-
commenced early yesterday morning,
and carried on with somewhat greater
dispatch than on the previous day, but
it was late in the afternoon before the
miscellaneous batch had been COM
pleted, and the officials were ready to
take up the question of admitting the
thirty-twO actors en- route to the
Worlds fair.
In all there were 2l0 Chinese, eXclu-
sive of the actors, about seventy of
whom were admitted. Those whose
cases were passed upon favorably were
handed a slip of paper signed by the
collector or his deputy, and when the
examination had been finished they
were permitted to go ashore. With one
or two exceptions they were bound for
Portland. 1t was a curious study to
watch the expressions of their faces,
and one could in most instances dis
tinguish the lucky from the unlucky
ones from the length of their counten-
ances. As the sheep, selected from
among the goats, poured ashore with
their earthly belongings, contained IN
all sorts and sizes of packages, they
presented a peculiar spectacle, the
novelty of which was much appre-
ciated by large crowd of spectators
of both sexes. Those rejected will have
to be deported, and will go over on the
MOgul, unless some, or all of them, shall
put up the necessary $50 bond money
and land in British Columbia.

Every one was assured his condition
was not as serious as reported. DIR. st.

who was called in last night, said posi-
lively this mornicg that Booth had not

WASHINGTON, April 2O-The report
of Special Agent Noyes, on the illegal
landing Of 700 Cinnamon from the
steamer Haytian Republic at Portland,
Ore, has been received at the treasury
department. In connection with the
investigation, and as a result of it, sew
eral minor officers at Portland, Ore,
and Port Townsend, Wn., will be dis
charged from the government service.
The department declines to make pub
lie the details of Agent Noyes' report
further than to state that it contains no
reflection upon the integrity of the
collector of customs at Port Townsend
in connection with the matter. A dis
patch from San Francisco says Col
lector Phelps announced this morning
that he would refuse to land thirty
Chinese who came there en- route to
Portland, Ore. The collector cannot
understand why they did not take a
more direct course to their proposed
destination

THE BUCKHORN yEINz
Rich Ore Again Encountered in a
Famous Deep Greek Mine.
1t Runs High in Gold and slIver-The
$4,000 Brick Meeting-subscrip-
lions Will Be Solicited.

The famous Buckhorn mine az Dugway,
that produced $50, 600 worth OF ore, made
Sam Gibson famous, and then pinched
out, will soon resume its place among the
rich producers of the Deep Creek country.
Sam ellison returned from Dugway yes
terday and reports that the vein has been
encountered in place. 1t is three feet
wide and pockets Of ore are encountered
that runs from zoo to 400 ounces in silver
and from one and half to twenty ounces
in gold. This, Mr.. Gibson says is, in
fact, the first discovery of the vein proper,
as the $50, 900 lot OF ore was found in
punches here and there and not in The
vein.
Mr.. ellison and his associates are greatly
elated and will send out supplies and put
large force of men to work at once. The
mine will again soon be regular shipper
of good ore.
Mr.. Gibson reports active operations
in the Dugway district. The Washing
ton is looking we'll and producing good
ore. The Pride of the West is also show
ing up we'll.
1t is announced that a line OF stages
will soon be put on between Eureka and
the Deep country, making regular trips
and carrying mail and passengers. A
good road has been built from Buckhorn
over the mountain to Fish Springs.
