several studs of that fine OLD breed, the

Tennessee and Kentucky have never

wagons and drove to Chickamauga,
where they intended to spend the day.
About noon "a severe storm came up,
the wind blowing at an unprecedented
rate in this section. Part of the crowd
took refuge under the wagon, and Grim
minis and Mitchell got under large
oak tree
They had hardly become located
when terrific gust of wind tore the
top of huge tree from the trunk and it
came spinning to the ground with
frightful velocity. Both men jumped,
but too late The falling tree struck
Crimmins on the top of the head and
the limbs caught Mitchell. The for
mer's head was frightfully mangled
and the latter had two ribs and a
wrist broken, foot badly mashed and
received several cuts over his body.

hour. Chief Mitchell is very danger

FOUR DROWNED.

of a Yacht In Il Gale at Chicago.

EOur Persons Drowned ny tne OApaiZing
OF a Yacht In a Gale at Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 10.-Chicago was WIS.,
tied at $50 o'clock Yesterday afternoon
by the most terrific storm it has expert
enced for several years The wind
blew almost a hurricane and the rain
fell in torrents. The storm gathered
in the north and west with marvellous
quickncss. Nobody was looking for it.
All at once It was here and the next
minute it was swooping over the city,
leveling trees and spreading death and
destruction among many pleasure boats
which were out upon Lake Michigan.
Owing to the beautiful weather DUR
ing the morning and afternoon these
were more numerous than usual. Many
narrow escapes from death were ex-
perienced, but so far as known the loss
of life is limited to four, all of them lost
by the capsizing of the sailing yacht
Chesapeake, which was overturned
about two miles from shore. The party
on the boat consisted of nine people
and of these four were drowned. The
dead are: Ethel Chase, l6 years old, Of
Boston, Mass; Harry NARROW, II. NJ.
Cornice and Themistocles Timbalis.
Those who We're rescued are: George
Gray, Edith Champion, William Avery,
Fred Avery and William Elliott.
The Chesapeake was well-built
yacht and was owned by the Avery
brothers. The party had been out dur
ing the afternoon enjoying the sailing.
The sudden fury of the storm, however,
gave them no chance, and they were in
the water before the men of the party,
several of whom were skillful sailors,
could do anything to prevent it. Fred
Avery and Elliott clung to the side of
the boat and managed to keep
their heads out of water. Will
Avery was hurled nearly fifteen
feet from the boat and went
down head foremost. Near him was
Edith Champion, and as Avery rose he
seized her and swan to the boat. There,
with his three companions, he made a
gallant fight for life. Capt. McRae, of
the steam tug Robert Torrent, which
was in the harbor saw the Chesapeake
capsize and went to its assistance. He
reached it in time to rescue the Avery
brothers, Gray, Elliott and Miss Cramp-
ton. The bodies of the others were
not recovered.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
"Soured" on MormonIsm.

JACKSON, July s.-The following sig
nificant letter, received by Gov. Stone
from men who have been duped by the
oily-tongued Mormon elders, now doing
missionary work in this and other
Southern States, shows how shallow
their pretenses are, and what other peo-
pie who listen to them may expect:
MESA CITY, ARiZ.. July 8, 1893.
To His EIcellency, the Governor Of Missis.
sippi:
We. your petitioners, respectfully
ask your attention to the following
facts: In June, 1892, we were living in
Lawrence County, Miss, where we had
resided seventeen years, pursuing the
occupation Of farmers, Independent and
happy. Oh the first day OF the above
month and year two Mormon elders,
named Barlow and May, came to our
places in Lawrence County. They were
followed soon by two more, named Ence
and johnson. They, by their misstate.
ments and untruths, enticed US to move
to Arizona, or Zion, as they termed it,
The Mormon elders came into our coun-
ty ana told great things. In Arizona,
they said, land was cheap, not more
than SIS per acre, and wages from So to
So per day, with board. /, Daniel
Glover, had just entered 100 acres Of
land; I, Anon Glover, eighty acres OF
land, and had comfortable home, and
l, j. Q. Stephens, had entered eighty
acres of land and was living on it..
These elders told US we could enter 100
acres If we would go there, that the
peple would help us, and building ma
terial was cheap, and there was an
abundance Of water on the land.
The facts are: The lumber comes
from 1000 to 1000 miles, and costs from
S35 to $40 per 1000 feet. The land is
taken up for twenty miles south, east
and west, and water is sold at rate per
inch. The Mormons are in Mesa City,
and water right in their canal Is
worth $4,000 cash. They said we would
not hear profanity of any kind in Ari-
zona, as in Mississippi. We disposed OF
all our property at a sacrifice. We were
soon made aware that we were basely
deceived by the Mormon elders, and,
as we told them of their deceit, they
would not hire us to work.
Daniel Glover has a wife and three
small children, all sick, Anon Glover
has himself and wife. j. Q. Stephens
has wife and three children and was
born in Lawrence County. Land and
water near Mesa City, within three
miles, is from $50 to sl25 per acre and
city lots are about S4OO each. 1t is now
about ITO degrees in the shade, and as
we are living in tents it is terribly hot
1t has not rained since March Is. The
people are very profane, and saloons and
gambling are carried on every day in
the year. Wages are low and nearly all
the menial service is done by Mexicans
and Indians. 1t is now hotter than we
ever saw it in Mississippi and our wives
and children say they will die from heat
and disappointment. We warn all to
stay at their homes in Mississippi,
as they are better off than in this coun.
try. Polygamy is not only preached but
practiced by the Mormons.
We respectfully ask you, If in yopr
power, you can transport us back to our
old homes, we will never leave then
again. j. Q. STEPHENS,
ANON GLOVER,
DANIEL GLOVER.
