SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, July Ga storm
awful in its terror and total in its worl
of destruction, wipes out the town o
Winona, on the Current River branch
of the Kansas City, Fort Scott Il Mem
phis railroad, in Shannon county. at
1870 last night. That eleven persons
lost their lives is known to certainty,
and eight men are missing. The dead
are:
The Rev. j. w. Duncan, Mrs j. w.
Duncan, Matte Duncan, Mrs. Craw-

Mr.. Duncan: Norma Nevins, q little
daughter of Lloyd Wright; Maggie
Cannon, John Morris and Mrs. New

The bodies of Rev. Mr.. Duncan, his
wife and daughter, George NeVins,
were recovered, but the others have
not been found.
A slashing rain, preceded by stun
ming wind, set in at 9 o'clock. When
the wind ceased, the rain increased
intensely. At 1O:15 oyer four feet of
water were in the streets. In 10 min
utes many buildings could not stand
the strain and began to careen. Vivid
flashes of lightning pierced the down
pour, which came down like the falls
Of Niagara. Horses We're smashed,
and in the water were hundreds of
persons. 1t was like a shipwreck in
the ocean. Cries of terror and shouts
for help from the struggling people
to pieces of timber made the
scene one that baffled intelligent effort
to save the helpless. The strong cur
rent rushing down the valley carried
many to higher land and places of
safety.
When the torrent had subsided, the
men who had seen some families to
places of safety, turned their atten-
ion to others and by o'clock the
worst was over, Those who escaped
he devastation stood shivering with
,ut clothing or without any oppor-
unity to dry themselves. When day
lawned there was nothing of their
homes; there was no shelter, no food,

MINERS ARE DESPERATE.
Governor McCorkle Expects Trouble In
the Elkhorn District.

the Elkhorn District.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, July a.-Gov-
ernor McCorkle's representative at
Elkhorn wires that the operators have
made formal demand on the sheriff
for protection against the the threat
ened outbreak of the miners in that
region, and the sheriff has verbally
admitted that he is unable to give it..
He has, however, made no demand on
the governor for militia, though Gov
ernor McCorkle says he is in expecta-
tion of such demand.
The governor stated today that while
the men never during the last strike
committed any infraction of the law,
yet within the past few days the out
look has materially changed. Instead
of being content to wait for work to
resume, the miners are becoming rest
less. Many of them are carrying
arms. Several of the operators have
tried to resume work with nonunion
men brought from Virginia. Large
bodies of men, some of them armed,
are marching up and down the valley,
and, while committing no overt acts,
are still practicing virtual intimida-
ton. A large body marched last night
to North Fork with every seeming in
tention of violence, but were prevented
by civil guards from doing harm. The
governor added:
1.-THE situation is very serious, for
the men have been long out of employ.
ment and are evidently determined NO
nonunion men shall work. Special en-.
gines are in readiness to take troops to
the field of trouble, and, owing to
actual service last year, these troops
are evidently we'll qualified for good
service"

Will Build Flying Machines.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The officials
! of the army signal service have prac-
tically decided to build q flying
machine. Its construction will proba-
bly, be under the supervision of Captain
Glassford, who, under General Greely,
chief signal officer, has been carrying
on extensive experiments in military
ballooning for the last three years.
Captain Glassford is making prepara-
tions to construct an apparatus which
will actually carry man. The
mechanism to be used is what is known
as the soaring apparatus, which has
actually succeeded in transporting a
man in the free air. Captain Glass
ford is an enthusiast, both as to the
future of his balloon experiment and
the accomplishing of mechanical flight.

Suicide of a Soldier,

WALLA WALLA, July George
Murray, soldier of troop D, Fourth
cavalry, 4S years of age, committed
suicide last night by taking morphine
Murray, who had seen % years service,
was on several months furlough and
living with Alice Thorne, woman
who purported to be his wife. DIR.
Blalock was called to Muray's house
about three hours after he had taken
the poison, but found he was too late
to do any good. There was strong
belief today that the woman had
poisoned Murray, but the crime could
not be fastened upon her at the inquest
today. She testified in tears that she
and Murray had quarreled, and shortly
afterward he put handful of powder
in his mouth, saying, swell, here

realize what he had done until he be-
gan to act strangely, when she sent
for the doctor. She exhibited an order
Murray had given her, which was
upon James Casey, saloon man.

A Cyclone in Kansas.

BAXTER SPRINGS, Kan, July g.
Baxter Springs was laid in ruins, five
persons killed and 20 others badly
wounded, by bursting cyclone that
strnck the town about 6 O'Clock last
evening,
There seem to have been two cur
rents of wind, one from the north and
the other from the west. In the track
of the current from the north the pas
senger depot was the first thing
damaged. Further on, great damage
was done to residence property. trees
and everything in its way. The cur
rent from the west seems to have been
the stronger. 1t struck some of the
residences, doing serious damage.
The depot was moved off the founda-
tion, wrecked about the roof, and the
goods and other contents badly
flooded.

CAUGHT IN A DEFILE.
Cuban Insurgents Were Beaten at Their
Own Game,


HAVANA, Suly S.-A severe engage
ment has taken place between Spanish
troops under command of Colonel
Azur and large force of insurgents.
Two hundred and eighty Of the latter
were killed. 1t appears that Major
Sanchez received Information that a
force of 1900 insurgents, under the
command of Rabi had occupied strong
positions near Manzanillo, province of
Santiago de Cuba. The major sent a
messenger to his superior officer,
Colonel Azur, proposing to him that
they should join their forces and make
an attack upon the insurgents. The
messenger, however, fell into the
hands of the insurgents, who hanged
him and sent word to the major, in
the name of Colonel Azur, to make an
attack upon the insurgent position
from a point which compelled the
troops to approach the insurgents
through narrow thoroughfare.
Major Sanchez, recognizing the diff
ficulty of the movement which he was
apparently directed by his colonel to
take, sent forward two advance piokets
of IL and 80 men, respectively, under
the command of the sergeants, with
instructions to push forward to the
right and left of the passage, far re-
moved from them, and be careful to
take advantage of this position, from
which they could protect the advance
of the main body under Sanchez. The
sergeants cleverly followed out the
instructions. Major Sanchez then ad-
vanced carefully upon the insurgents
position, protecting his men by every
Inequality of the ground. But, as he
expected, the troops were no sooner
inside of the defile than the insurgents
attacked them in force. The first
charge of the insurgents was made
with enthusiasm, and their machetes
played hovoc among the troops. who
were hemmed in and unable to deploy
on account of the narrow road they
had to follow.
But it was here that the two advance
pickets. under the two sergeants,
came to the rescue. From their ele-
waited position they kept up a contin-
uous fire upon the insurgent within
range, and eventually, assisted by
charge of the Spanish troops, com
PEELED them to retreat outside OF the
defile. The Spaniards rushed for
ward after them, and, once in the
open they charged the insurgent with
great courage and compelled them to
retreat hastily. The insurgents then
sought refuge in the strong position
they had previously left in order to
attack the troops, but the soldiers car
ried the position and put the enemy to
fight. The troops lost so men killed
and wounded.
1t was at first reported that the
insurgents were commanded by Cen
eral Maceo, but it was later learned
they were under Rahi alone, and that
Maceo took no part in the engagement.

A MODERN ENOCH ARDEN.
A Husband Finds His Wife Remarrie

A Husband Finds His Wife Remarked.
MACON, Ca, July 5.-A peculiar
Enoch Arden story, which is interna=
tiUnal in it's bearings, comes from
Waycross. DR.. Brown returned day
or two ago, after an absencd of 25
years, and found his wife the happy
spouse of a well-to-do citizen of this
place.
Brown is a Frenchman with an in
teresting history. When he left this
country he went to France to look after
a legacy. A quarrel with his lawyer
resulted in the murder of the latter,
and Brown was sent to prison for 25
years. The legacy was used up trying
to acquit him, and when he was freed
he was penniless.
His first act on being released was to
come to Georgia to see his wife, whom
he had loved during all the years of
separation. She had long since given
him up as dead, and had been married
twice. Her present husband Is Mr..
Thomas, who lives in this county.
Browns grief on finding her welded
to another man was intense. He asked
her and her husband to visit him, but
she refused to grant his request.
Brown has gone away again, dis
couraged and heartbrOken.

Lenz was murdered by Turkish officers
high in the service, and for that reason
the work is attended with great dan
ger. The bell of Lenz' bicycle was
found at Teharouk. His mirror, mail
box and another box which he is
known to have carried, were found in
the river between Shamin and Mu-
sersta. while the tires of his wheel
were discovered at Tehelni, where
kurd was using them for saddle girth.
The letter states further that Sachtle-

owing to the high standing of his mur-
derers, the task is too dangerous, and
all further inquiry will have to be
abandoned unless the government fur

CHARGES AND COUNTERCHARaEs.
Trouble Between Cattle and Sheep Men
on Camas Prairie.

Word came in to Pendleton on Fri
day night that there is trouble between
the cattlemen and sheepmen of Camas
prairie, says the La Grande Chronicle.
If the reports prove correct, arrests
are likely to follow, and general mix
up to result. Owing to the shortness
Of the range and a feeling Of jealousy
on the part of the cattle-owners to-
ward the sheepmen, some cattlemen
took steps to forcibly drive off certain
persons whose stock was fattening on
the Camas pastures. 1t is alleged that
fourteen men went to Frederick Mar
tin, who had taken bunch of cattle
to a new range, where he had not been
accustomed to keep them. They or
dered him back to the locality from
whence he came, and then, later, some
one drove off the cattle and put Mr.
Martin to considerable trouble in col
lecting the band; then some one went
to the ranch of Adam Swain, a sheep
man, and at night shot many OF his
sheep, which were in a corral. Again
it Is alleged that the same persons or
their sympathizers burned a sheep
camp belonging to Donald Ross.
Some of the sheepmen are not at all
hesitant about charging all OF these
offenses to certain cattlemen OF Camas
prairie,

CRoP-wEATHER REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
July 8, 1895.

WEATHER-General light rainfall on
July 4 and 5, being heaviest on the
4th; the total amount which fell varied
from one-half inch in portions of Uma-
tllla county to 0.10 of an inch at The
Dalles, and in Baker county. The
temperature was much lower than in
the preceding week. On the morning
OF the frost nearly occurred south Of
the Blue mountains, where the lowest
temperature was 36 deg. The maxi
mum temperatures ranged from 72 to
"a deg. and the minimum ranged from
4o to Oh deg, except south of the Blue
mountains, where it was from SO to so
deg. About the average amount of
sunshine prevailed. The winds were
southerly on several days, and their
velocity throughout the week was less
than in the previous week.
CRoPS-The rains, though light.
were of great benefit. The benefit
was principally in the help it was to
cause the grain to be more plump: it
helped the filing, but caused little or
no extra growth to the straw. The re-
ports from Wasco and Sherman coun-
ties are more encouraging, and fair
yields are now anticipated from these
two counties. Discouraging reports
continue from Gillian and Morrow
counties, and it is doubtful if one-third
as much as the crop of last year will
be yielded. In Umatilla county grain
That was properly put in is in good
CONDITION. One correspondent, who
mas lIOO acres in wheat, expects As
bushels to the acre; fields surrounding
will not yield over 20 bushels to the
acre, the difference being due to the
of plowing and seeding. The
crop OF Umatilla county will hardly be
over one-fourth as much as IL was last
year, In the Grand Ronde valley
good crops are the rule; this year they
are poor; fall wheat is especially poor,
and will hardly yield over 15 or 90.
bushels to the acre. Spring grain Is
not half 80 good, and much spring
grain will only be fit for hay. In other
Eastern Oregon counties similar grain
exist.
The hay crop Is light, except that
which is irrigated. The hay is short
N length and thin on the ground. The
'ruit prospects continue to be encour-
aging. A large yield is now expected.
Wheat harvest has commenced in a
lew localities of the Columbia river
valley. Harvest will not be general un-
Ill about the 18th.
Rain will not help the grain and hay
,rop; the present conditions show
what the harvest will be, and they
show prospects below the average.
The latter part of this week will be
,ooler; no rain is probable.
NoTE-The chief of the weather
bureau, Washington, D. c., has di-
'ected Mr.. B. s. Pague to proceed to
San Francisco and assume charge Of
The weather Office in that city for the
1ext thirty days. Mr.. S. M. Bland
ord will be in charge of the Office In
Portland until Mr.. Pague returns.

The AIturas Stage Robbed.

and Alturas stage was robbed early
this morning two miles above Moxley's
station, "a miles from Redding. Super
visor Bass and lady passenger were
not molested. The highwayman took
the Wells.Fargo box and registered
mail, securing perhaps S400. The rob-
Der is described as feet and 6 inches
tall, and many believe it to be Brady,
as the officers claim that he took that
direction.
