BATTLE WITH A FOOTPAD.
Running Fight With a Robber
on Crowded Chicago
Streets.
One Citizen Fatally and Another
Seriously Wounded Before the
Fugitive Is Killed.

CHICAGO, ILL, July S.-A runaway
robber was killed on the street tonight,
and an innocent bystander fatally
wounded.
AT $50 o'clock George E. Cole went into
the restaurant of Peter G. McGloin at 81
Adams street and, at the point of revol-
yer, robbed him of small sum of money.
When Cole went out McGloin gave chase.
Cole ran on Adams street to State, down
State to Van Buren, through Van Buren
to Wabash and south again on the latter
street. All the way he was pursued by
McGloin, a number of citizens and several
policemen, who joined in the race. Shots
were fired freely by both the pursued and
his pursuers. Two bystanders were hit by
the fusillade, w. II. Lukes receiving bull
let in his right leg and a man named
Sternberg getting another through the
abdomen. Sternberg will die.
Although number of shots were fired
at Cole he continued in his mad flight
until he reached the corner of Wabash
avenue and Congress street. Just as he
reached the Auditorium Hotel the first
bullet struck him, and he dropped to the
sidewalk, dying almost instantly.
Cole is unknown to the police and his
body was sent to the morgue. Sternberg
was sent to the hospital

swept away all his barns and outhouses,
leaving his dwelling intact. His family
took refuge in the storm pit. AT Mrs. D..
E. Buffers plantation several farmhouses
were blown away and her crop badly dam
aged.
The worst feature of the storm seems to
have been the destruction of Lally Pen
nick's house, while he and his wife were
in it. Parties who have seen the wreck
to-day say it was simply miracle that
saved them from death. The house is a
mass of ruins. His corn crop is a COM
plete wreck. He and his wife will recover
from the injuries they received.
At Albert Golfers place two of his chill
dren had their limbs broken by falling tim
bers. G. D. Perry's plantation lay in the
storms path and several of his farmhouses
and much of his crop are ruined.
People who saw the storm cloud say
that it was an awful sight. A mass of
black clouds, with white. vapory Innings,
was seen to whirl in the air, alternately
rising and falling. j. M. Brooks, who was
half mile away from the main track of
the storm, says that be could see houses
and treetops whirling about in the air. A
house was seen to be lifted from the earth,
carried several hundred feet from the
ground and broken in twain.

SELJAN WAS MURDERED.
Omaha Police Are Confident
That He Did Not Commit
Suicide.
Mr.. and Mrs. Urban and Their Con-
federates Formally Charged
With the Crime.

OMAHA, NEBR., July 8.-Chief of Po-
lice White has filed complaints charging
Mr.. and Mrs. Mike Urban, John Dunnitz
and John Buckovitz with the murder OF
John Seljan.
The police rely upon the circumstantial
evidence which they claim points toward
the theory of murder. found in the Seljan
bedroom, to assist them in securing the
conviction of the accused. They rely upon
the testimony of DR.. Summers to bear out
their theory of murder, and point to the
undisputable evidence given by the doctor
that Selian was dead before the body
reached the water, because of the presence
of air in the lungs; also the further fact
that the doctor stated that it would have
been utterly impossible for person with
such wound to have travelled in any man.
ner such distance to the river, for the
purpose of drowning himself.
One of the jurors, who takes exceptions
to the charges made by the police that the
verdict was not rendered in accordance
with the evidence, is severe upon Chief
White and his assistants. He says that
the action of the police in arresting the
three suspects and placing them together
for several hours at the city Jail, thereby
affording the prisoners an opportunity to
settle upon plan of defense and arrange
as to what they should say, was one of the
'rankest" pieces of detective work yet
done. The juror also accuses Chief White
with attempting to elbow his trumpet" at
the expense of the lives of four ignorant
men, who are without friends or money
with which to protect or defend them
selves.
1t is alleged by friends of the Chief and
of the Police Board that this Coroner's
jury was worked upon by the A. P. A. in
order to confound Chief White and to lead
to his.reiection by the new Police Board
when it comes into being, August 1.

lumber were many; there were about
thirty of them"
Mr.. Storey added that if the bids for
grading prove satisfactory and the contract
is awarded at the meeting to-day, work
will be commenced within ten days. Then
after the graders have two or three miles
of road ready the track-layers will COM
mence their part of the work and follow
the graders. At first they will lay the
side tracks and switches and then go ahead
with the main track.
The company, he said, had not thought
anything about having a jollihcation on
the occasion of the turning of the first
shovelful of earth, but he had heard that
the people of Stockton had talked about
some kind of a demonstration.
Another consignment of ties for the
road, the third, was received yesterday,
and these will without delay be sent by
barge to Stockton.

discharging her cargo of rails, and these,

render what aid they can to the survivors.
The food has left only scene of Gesola-
ton, and menace to the health of the
living from the presence of hundreds of
dead horses, cattle, hogs and other stock.
For miles below the town are strewn car
casses, mingled with wagons, household
furniture and other property, which was
swept away with the dwellings by the rag
ing torrent of water.
The loss of human life is placed at a
dozen to a certainty, all but one of the
victims being known. The bodies have
been recovered with the exception of that
of Lloyd Wright's daughter. The body of
George Nevins was found little before
noon to-day. No arrangements have yet
been made for the burial of the victims.
The unidentified body is that of a stranger
who was a guest at one of the hotels.
AS usual. in cases of calamity, men and
women have come to seize and appropriate
as their own all the movable property
which they can lay their hands on.
This region is so mountainous that
wagons can hardly make connection, and
there is big gap in the railway bed
caused by the food. The Fort Scott Rail-
road officials came to Winona on special
train this evening to do what they could
for the flood-stricken people, Trains were
run from each end of Current River branch
as far as the gap, thus establishing COM
munication by railroad for the first time.
During the flood man was lowered
from the bluffs by rope and when a

shore, assisted by men on the bluff. In
this way he rescued three from death and
recovered two bodies.
Besides the unknown stranger the fol-
lowing are dead: Rev. &. w. Duncan.
Matte Duncan. Crawford Cart, Norma
Nevins, daughter of Lloyd Wright, Mrs
Nevins, Mrs. G.. w. Duncan, Mrs. Craw-
ford, George Nevins, Maggie Cannon and
John Norris.
The follow ing business houses were de-
stroyed and the stocks were partially or
totally destroyed: A. Carter Lumber Com
pany; Mrs. A. G. Scranton, millinery; J.
J. Brown, three buildings; Church & Kis-
sell, dwellings,; Tom McCandless; Will

son; Mr.. Lloyd; Tom Galbraith. The Bar
Hotel, Petit House, Lewis House and

building except those in the suburbs and
ON high ground escaped being flooded.

quake shock was felt in Springfield and
vicinity. Houses shook and windows

Union, Adair, Page, Montgomery and

There was also a severe hail in a wide strip
of country and which killed considerable

were very heavy, were matted down by the
storm and the loss will be severe. Details
are meager but the storm caused great de-

Potts, the bank clerk, was going around
notifying everybody to go to the bank and

NJ. u. Thomas, editor of the st. Francis

piles to be used in constructing the bridges
between Stockton and the Stanislaus

the Office of the company yesterday after
noon.
"What the bids were will not be given
out until after they have been submitted
to the directors at the meeting to-mor-
row." said Chief Engineer Storey. There
were two or three bids for grading, but I
do not feel at liberty to say whether they
are low or high. They were, however,
