MINERS EVICTEO.
Cruel Treatment of Miners in
Indian Territory.
They and Their Families Driven
Out by Soldiers.
OUTRAGEOUS ACTS.
Tales of Cruelty and Oppression
RiValing Siberia.

FORT SMITH, Ark, June 21.-Details
of the horrible state of affairs existing
In the mining region of the Indian
territory have been brought to this
city by evicted miners, a number of
whom arrived yesterday. The stories
they tell of oppression, hardship and
cruelty to themselves, their wives
and children by the deputy marshals
and federal troops are similar to those
which sometimes come from Siberia
The men say that when it became APP
parent that they could not earn
living at the reduced rate of wages
and starvation was staring them and
their families in the face, power was
given the deputy marshals to eject
them from the company houses, and
the work of eviction began Many of
the men were thrown bodily from
their homes, their wives and children
beaten and bruised and their furniture
and personal effects destroyed, after
which they were loaded into box cars
like cattle and shipped out of the ter
ritory.
The stories of brutality told by the
men from the Hartshorne district are
revolving in the extreme. August
Smith, one of the Hartshorne miners
says that troops came to his house and
arrested him. They would not allow
him to put on his shoes and coat, and
refused to let the the family eat break
fast. The soldiers threw his furni-
ture into q wagon and then asked
Smiths wife if she wanted to GO.
No." she said; II have worked for
this home, and If / leave you will
have to shoot me-
1.-The house was built by me and be-
longed to me- said Smith, Though 1
had no legal title to it. The COM
mander ordered the privates to put
my wife and five children out
They jumped at her, one of them
pulling a knife, and took the babe
from her breast. Then four or five
dragged her out and threw her head
first into the wagon We were then
carted to the station and put in the
box car with dozens of Others Most
of the miners families were thrown
out early in the morning in
a driving rain, and no time given
them to dress or eat breakfast.
In one instance a family of four
were evicted near Anderson. The
wife of the miner was struck over the
head with a Winchester and severely
maltreated by the soldiers The
woman was in a delicate state of
health at the time and while being
carried to the. railroad station gave
premature birth to child. She is in
a critical condition and may die"

Wind Storm.
OMAHA, Neb-, June 21.-Between
$50 and T. clock last evening Omaha
was visited by one of the strongest
gales experienced here in years. The
wind came from about two points
west of south and blew in gusts for
half an hour. attaining ut times a
velocity of nearly forty miles an
hour. 1t was accompanied by dense
clouds of dust, that obscured the sky
until all was dark as midnight Not
e great deal of rain accompanied the
storm, but quite a shower fell after.
Much damage of a minor nature was
done all oyer the city. Shade trees
and shrubbery were blown down or
broken off, and in some places traffic
was blockaded by trees falling across
the street.

EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX
Amendments Onered to the TarIn ma.
by Senator Vest.

Amendments offered to the TarIu E1IA
by Senator Vest.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Vest yesterday introduced the amend
ments which he announced hereto
fore would be offered by the finance
committee to the income tax provis-
ions before that part of the tariff bill
was reached. The first amendm ent
provides that mutual life insuranc e
companies shall not be required
to pay an income tax upon
the sums repaid to their policy
holders as dividends or interest upon
the surplus premiums held by such
companies. The provision regarding
building and loan associations is
changed to read as follows: That
nothing herein contained shall apply
to building and loan associations to
their share holders for the purpose of
enabling them to provide for them
selves homes"
1t is also by the amendments made
the duty of persons acting as trustees
for estates or trusts to return upon
them when the incomes annually ex-
coed SO, 500.
Another amendment requires the
internal revenue commissioner to
prescribe the form of the affirmation
or oath required from the president
or chief officer of a corporation or
company in giving the net proceeds
of his company. In the paragraph
relating to these returns by corpora
tions there is a change which provides
a penalty for refusing to make re-
turns instead of for refusing to pay
the penalties, which is evidently the
correction of an incongruity in the
former print.
Another amendment exempts fra
terpal beneficiary societies, orders or
associations operating upon the lodge
system, and which provide for the
payment of life, sick, accident and
other benefits to the members of such
societies and their dependents, from
the operations of the law.
An exemption is also made in the
case of such savings banks, savings
institutions or societies as have no
stock holders or members except de-
positors, and no capital except de-
posits; those that shall receive
deposits to an aggregate amount in
any one year of more than ST., 600 from
the same depositor; those that shall
not allow an accum ulation or total of
deposits by any one depOsitor exceed
ing $40, 900; those that shall actually di-
vide and distribute to their deposit
ors, ratably to deposit, all the earn
ings over the necessary and proper
expenses of such bank, institution or
society; except such as shall be APP
piled to surplus; and also those that
shall not possess in any form a sur
plus fund exceeding ten per cent of
the aggregate deposits.

HILL AND THE INCOME TAX
New York Senator viii Attack the Bill
in q Set Speech.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The dura-
ton of the debate on the income tax
probably will depend largely on SEN
ator Hill and he has expressed the
opinion two days time will be suffi-
cient to dispose of the matter. Sen
ator Aldrich also expressed the opinion
that two days would be all the time
required for this debate. There is a
disposition on the Repu blican
side to allow the Democratic me m bers
of the senate to settle this question
largely among themselves and the
speeches on the Re pu blican side will
be briefer and fewer in mum Der than
has been expected
Senator Hill will begin the pro-
ceedings to-day with set speech, at
lacking the tax vigorously, but it is
not believed other Democrats, wheth-
err favoring or opposing the bill, will
have set speeches on the subject. 1t
is quite likely the Populist senator's
will have considerable to say on the
question, and it is also probable that
Senator Hills speech and his tactics
will develop more or less debate.

Yesterdays engagements of gold for
shipment to-day were unexpectedly
large and the treasury officials were
somewhat surprised that the amount
was not furnished under Tuesdays

ever, the banks will to-day make
good the amount taken, the explana-
ton being the banks were not pre-

not alarmed at the continuous outflow
