MANY PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS.
Destructive High Waters I'm Colo.
RADIO Cause Great Damage.

RADIO Cause Great Damage.
Pueblo, Colo, special: 1t has rained
incessantly for thirty hours all over
the eastern part Of the state. Tho
Arkansas River has broke it's banks at
six places in this city. For three
quarters of a mile along the river all
the cellars arc flooded, the water be-
ing two feet above the first floors.
The electric cars have stopped rum
ming, the works being flooded. Hun.
dreds are out in boats %rescuing fam
lilies from the flooded houses. Five
railroads are tied up. The flood is
now receding and it is believed all
danger is past. Advices from Salida,
Canon City and Manitou say the rain
fall was the heaviest ever known,
amounting in various places to four
inches. The rivers are high and the
railroads greatly damaged.
Several Thousand people are rem
dered homeless and property damaged
to the amount OF probably $500, 600.
While the Arkansas River was thus
on its mad career a great torrent was
coming down the mountain river.
About . o'clock the water began to re-
cede and it is believed all danger is
past, but it will be some time before
the streets are passable.
Hundreds of people, men. women
and children. are congregation in the
city hall waiting until the waters go
down and they can go to their homes.
The mayor has issued a call for help.
One man was drowned at the lower
end of the Santa Fe while attempting
to cross the water at that point. 1t is
feared several others persisted.
Several adobe houses collapsed.
Nearly four square miles of the city is
still inundated and the use of steam
pumps will be necessary to drain the
foundati ons Of the buildings in this dis
trict. Many narrow escapes and
thrilling experiences were had, and
n family OF five people were carried
q hundred yards in a house and mar
rowly escaped drowning. The weather
is now clear and all danger is be-
lieved to be past.

SHE KNEW TOO U c
Polish Woman Fatally Assaulted
by COnspiratOrs i'm Cleveland.

Cleveland, Ohio, special: A Polish
was found wandering in the streets in
the southern part of the city suffering
from q bad wound in the head. She
said she had been assaulted by a man,
but before she could give the particu-
lars of the assault she became uncOn-
scious and was removed to a hospital.
She has not yet recovered conscious
ness.
Rev. A. +. Kolaszewski. the deposed
pastor of st. Stanislau's Catholic
Church. makes a startling charge in
connection with the assault. He de-
clares that Mrs. .Janicki was the prin-
cipal witness in possession of informa-
ton about u plot to blow him up with
dynamite. When the row at ST. STAN
islau's Church was in progress he says
Stanislau Koscluski was deputized to
place a dynamite bomb in his buggy.
After his deposition Rev. MIR. kolas-
zewski went to Syracuse, N. ", and
he declares that koscinski followed
him to that city, and. with a crucihx
in his hand, confessed the part he was
to take in the plot. A short time
thereafter a Polish printing Office in
this city was destroyed by fire.
In the ruins of the building
the dead body of kocinski
was found with q knife
wound in the abdomen. Rev. MI.
kolaszewski says that Koscinski was
murdered and his body burned to con-
ceal the crime by persons who knew of
his confession, and an attempt has
been made to put Mrs. Janicki out of
the way because OF her knowledge of
the plot. The other faction of St.
Stanislaus' congregation laugh at the
priests story. but the police are inves-
tigating the assault.

JOHN N,eERs' MURDERS.
story of the Killing of the Aged Germa,
in this state.

In this State.
The trial of Jay and Robert Hicks,
recently concluded at Sturgis, which
resulted in the conviction of the broth.
crs and their sentence to death and
life Imprisonment respectively, brought
out the details of one of the most cold
blOoded crimes ever committed in that
region.
John Myers, the victim. was an old
German, living alone on the Cheyenne.
He had quite a herd of cattle and was
supposed to be something of q miser.
He had recently disposed of about
$1,000 worth of stock and to secure
this money was the motive of the MUIR
derous conspiracy which resulted in
his death. The murderers secured
but $36. the draft for the cattle being
at the time in the postotice ut Smiths
willie.
The three men engaged in the muir
der We're Jay and Robert Hicks and
William Walker. The Hickses came
to this country several years ago. and
were specimens of the lowest type of
poor white trash in North Carolina.
Jay Hicks seemed to have conceived
the crime and it was he who first me-
gotiated for the revolver at a Smith
Vile store, which finally led to the de-
lection OF the criminals.
The Hickses and Walker went to
Myers cabin at about dusk on the day
Of the murder and we're Hospitality re-
ceived by the old man who, neon
scious OF his fate. provided them with
supper. When this was finished, Jay
Hicks deliberately drew a revolver
and shot the old man through the
breast. He fell wounded and, the
lights being cXtinguished. Walker
was nearly shot by Hicks while leav.
ing the room, he supposing that Myers
was escaping. They then questioned
the old ma as to his money, but he
declared that S36 was all he had.
Hicks then brutally shot him again.
The tiends then saturated the body
and furniture with oil and spread Goals
from the stove about. surprising that
they would ignite and burn the evil
dence of the crime. No fire followed.
however, and the dead man was found
u day or two afterwards by neighbors.
The party were seen by several per-
sons while on the road homeward and
strong clrcumstantial case was made
out at the preliminary hearing.
Walker confessed before the trial and
upon his evidences the verdicts we're
rendered. Walker has pleaded guilty
to manslaughter and will probably
serve u sentence of eight or ten wears.

from thirty-seven countless:
The early part Of the week was very
warm, followed by decidedly cooler
weather, resulting In v frost over
much Of the eastern portion of tho
state, on the morning of Saturday, the
10th inst. The showers that occurred
during the week we're mostly scattered
and light, although portions OF q few
counties received c0pi0us rains. Light
showers were quite general on the 18th,
relieving crops very much where at-
fected by the dry, warm wind OF the
preceding week.
The frost of the 18th vas quite gen.
eral over the eastern portion of the
state, and in many localities damaged
field crops, gardens and fruit. While
in some localities corn, potatoes, fax
and barley G cut down nearly to
the ground. 1t is thought that all
field crops will soon recover, and the
injury only amounts to a temporary
set back. Considerable garden pro-
duce was killed. Over the northern
portion of the state corn was not sufi.

was most severe over the east central
counties, but its effect was not uni
form, some localities escaping with
slight injury. Over most Of the sec
ton affected by frost, the Russian
thistle, being very tender, was killed
to the ground. A severe hailstorm Is
reported from Il portion of Edmunds
County. resulting in some injury to
crops. Hail is also reported from
Yankton County, damaging gardens to
some extent.
Reports indicate that the week was
favorable to crops in the western por.

"When / was in the Yellowstone
park last summer" said Wyoming
valley man, lone of the gamckeepers
told me about bear that worried a
camp of government soldiers almost to
desperation for several weeks. Late
one night bear waddled into camp,
ripped open tent, put the soldiers
to fight. got what he wanted TO eat,
and went away. The next night the
bear came around again, smashed
down tent and stole smoked ham.
Under the park rules the soldiers were
prohibited from firing at the thevish
brute. as well as from ja5bing bay
onet into him, and the only thing they
could do when the bear appeared and
went TO helping himself to rations was
to get ont of his way. Night after
night the bold beast made raid on
the camp and ruined tent or two.
Ny informant said that the bear acted
as if he knew that the soldiers daren't
fire on him, and that on each visit he
became more saucy and destructive
than before. When the bears raids
had become un hearable the command
ant sent the facts TO the secretary OF
the interior and asked what 70 do.
Word came back TO shoot the bear. and

It was novel object lesson on the
effects of stimulant that New Yorker
sojourning in Maine last summer dis
covered Beside the house where he
boarded was field that had once been
cultivated, but now was as barren as
Sahara. ''What is the matter with tho
land that nothing will grow on it?"
he asked the fisherman, his host. Fish
did it." was the laconic answer.
"How?" "Why, it was manured with
fish. You know farmers near the sea-
shore use porgies, dogfsh, and other
fish worthless to eat to fertilize the
land. And don't the fish just make
the crops grow for few seasons! Look
at that patch now. For years it
yielded the finest corn, potatoes and
garden sass you ever heard of. You
see the fish acts on land just as alco-
hol acts on man. 1t stimulates it up
to the highest notch. and as long rs
there is any productive power left in
the soil it goes into the crops. But
there came the time when that field
gave out all at once, and all the fish
you could heap on 1t wouldn't make
it bear so much as weeds or grass. Tho
only thing is to let it lie fallow until
the soil gains strength by rest Farm
ers round the seashore have found out
that though fish fertilizers give them
tempting crops to start with, they
must be handled as carefully as man
ought to handle rum or brandy"

early dealings. The bear campaign was not
however. of long duration; for the conditions
did not seem TO be entirely favorable, and
many shorts turned tail and began to cover
when they found the market to be strongly
supported.
The market opened weak for the general

came firmer after the opening, with the in
oustrials in fair demand. The pressure to
sell again set in. and the industrials lost ssa7t
per cent. The market took Il turn about II
o'clock, and prices moved upward. There was
an absence of the disquieting rumors of yes
terday.
The market at noon was firm. but the
volume of business was rather light. The
market swung into the afternoon with a
steady gait. which gradually gained In
strength. and, with an occasional reaction,
brought prices up to the highest point of tie
day in the final dealings. The market closed
