A SOLID WALL OF WATER
Ten Feet High, From Burst Reservoir,
Does Immense Damage at Curtis, Neb.

Ten Feet High, From a Burst Reservoir,
Does Immense Damage at Curtis, Neb.
Curtis, Neb., June 3-Curtis Lake
burst from its banks late yesterday af-
ternoon and the volume of water re-
leased carried destruction through the
Medicine Valley. The lake covered an
area of 100 acres and was constructed
as an irrigation reservoir and incident
ally to furnish power tc the Curtis
Roller Mills. An enormous dam was
built across the mouth of Wild Canyon
where it intercepts the Medicine river
at this point, and all the water drain
ed from the territory to the north,
some thirty square miles, was confined
in the artificial basin. The enormous
food of water that has passed into the
lake during the past FIVE days was too
heavy for the dam. The bank of the
lake burst with a roar that could be
heard for miles and a wall Of water ten
feet high rushed down the valley, car
rying everything in its path. Houses,
freight cars, stock and an amount Of
debris was caught up and dashed about
like feathers.
The fine roller mills, which occupy
the east side of the great ravine. re-
ceived the first shock of the torrent,
and the building was almost ruined.
Damage in this direction alone is esti-
mated at $4,000.
A few hundred yards below the mills
Medicine river passes under the rail-
road tracks of the Burlington. When
the food struck this narrow defle It's
progress was impeded, but only for an
instant, then the heavy embankments
gave way and the wall Of water rush
ed through, cutting a path 100 yards
wide.
AS the wall of water passed beyond
the city it rapidly spread out over an
immense territory, and it's powers Of
destruction were correspondingly de-
creased. No loss of lives have thus far
been reported.

WHEN THE WAR ENDED.
An Old Question Revived by Pension
Bureau Decision.


Bureau Decision.
Washington, June 3.-The question
as to the termination of the civil war,
raised by Assistant Secretary Rey-
nOlds, of the Interior Department, in a
recent pension decision, has given rise
to considerable discussion. The case
was that of John Barleyoung, a soldier
who had entered the army April 19,
1866. He applied for pension under
the three months service act, claiming
that the war did not terminate until
August 20, 1866, when President John
son, by proclamation, announced that
peace had been restored.
Secretary Reynolds claimed that ac-
tive hostilities ceased in April, 1865,
nine months before Barleyoung enlist
ed He said further: 1t is not believed
that Congress intended to pension those
whose rendition of service, military or
naval, had no connection whatever
with the belligerent operations of the
war, was not upon the theater Of the
conflict and had nothing to do with the
object and purposes of the war" For
these reasons the claim was disallowed.
The effect of the decision is,Ito eX-
clude a large number of persons, who
entered the service between July, 1865,
and May, 1866, from the operations of
the Pension law
Since the decision was made it has
been ascertained that the Supreme
Court. in December, 1887, held that the
war did not terminate until the date
of the Presidents proclamation on Au-
gust 20, 1866. The case then decided
was under the captured and abandon
ed property" act, which authorized 10y
al owners of such property to bring
suit for its recovery in the Court Of
Claims within two years after the sup
preston of the rebellion. The court
held expressly that the question of date
of termination of the war was not to
be left to each claimant to settle, but
was to be determined by some formal
public act of the government; that the
first official declaration on the point
was the Presidents proclamation, and
that Congress had expressly adopted
this date as that on which the rebellion
ended.
The opinion closed as follows: Gas
Congress. in its legislation for the
army. has determined that the rebel
lion closed on August 20, 1866, there is
no reason why it's declaration on this
subject should not be received as set
Ting the question wherever private
rights are affected by it"
In view of this decision, and the
large number Of persons involved, the
Barleyoung case will probably be re-
opened.

cial game of whist at one of the hotels
with a party of friends. About 1870
Sunday morning, the assistant cashier
found Cassatt in a room at the rear of
the bank, lying on a cot with the blood
oozing from three ugly gashes in his
throat and from a slight wound in the
right leg. He was still alive but was
weak and unconscious, and probably
still under the influence of liquor, in
which he had INDUCED quite freely.
1t seems to have been an attack of
delirium tremens, for there are evil
dences of a terrible struggle with an
imaginary foe, during which he de-
clared he would kill himself rather
than be killed. 1t appears he poured
poison into the wounds to aid death,
but the whisky counteracted this His
family is prominent. His friends
claim depositors in the bank will be
paid in full.

New York, June 3.-Dan Stewart, OF
Dallas, Texas, who is here as repre-
sentative Of syndicate of Dallas men
and fortified with certified check for
s41,OOO to make arrangements to have
the proposed Corbett-Fitzsimmons
fight pulled off in Texas, left his hotel
early this morning in search of infor-
nation, and called twice at Corbett's
managers office, but did not find
Brady.
Stewart returned to his hotel shortly
after noon and when seen by a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press said
that he had made an appointment to
meet Joe Vendig, the representative Of
the Florida Athletic Club, this even
ing. In reply to questions regarding
the possibilities of the event being
fought successfully in the Lone Star
State Mr.. Stewart said: There is no
doubt about the bringing off Of the
fight. There is no Texas statute which
will be violated by such an exhibition,
and can assure you that the gentle
men who are anxious to have the fight
take place there would not have any
thing to do with it if there was any
thing illegal about the transaction.
I'VE mean business and have made
all our arrangements in advance. Our
big fair will begin this year in the mid1
die of October and last until the first
week of November. 1t is our intention
to have the fight take place during the
fair and Just outside the Dallas city
limits. The arena will be situated
about a mile from the city hall, and in
the vicinity of several railroads.
"All we have got TO do is to pay a
$500 occupation tax and there will be
no trouble. The fight, if possible, will
take place in the day time. We have
made provisional arrangements with
the railway companies and our friends
from the north and the west will have
low rates"
1t is not likely that the principals or
their representatives. will be consulted
for day or two
Fitzsimmons, Joe Vendig and Dan"
Stewart met this afternoon and dis
cussed the big mill. They reported
after the conference that they were
confident the fight would be pulled Off
in the latter part of October at Dallas,
Texas
AS preliminaries to the contest for
the championship, it is proposed to
match the winners Of the Maher-
O'Donnell and ChOynski-Hall fights,
soon to be decided, Tommy Ryan Of
Chicago, and Billy Smith of Boston,
and the best man at the weights
against Billy Plimmer.
