storm In south Dakota Works Woe
to Householders.
Chamberlain, 3. D., Aug. %. ~ A
heavy storm passed to the northwest
late last night. Considerable damage
was done throughout the northern
portion of this county. The storm
struck house occupied by Fred Dick
tnson and utterly demolished it. Dick
inson took refuge in the cellar and thus
probably saved his life. His barn was
also swept away. The dwelling Of
Cliff Somers was also destroyed, but
none Of the occupants were seriously
injured. John Van Patter's barn was
demolished. A regular cloudburst ac-
companied the storm. Within n few
minutes ravines which had been dry
for months were rushing rivers, and
vast numbers Of pumpkins, melons and
other vegetables were carried away
by the flood at Kimball. Considerable
hall fell, breaking windows near the
Grow Greek and Lower Brule agencies.
Many Indian tepees were blown away
and the occupants driven franti. from
fright.

NO THIRD TICKET.

Gold Democrats May Decide Not to
Nominate.
Taylorville, ILL.,, Aug. Ex-senator ].
NJ. Palmer said today that, in his
opinion, the Indianapolis convention
will not go beyond the adoption Of q
platform declaring unequivocally for
the maintenance Of the present stand
ard, thus leaving it's members free to
support whichever candidate they
choose, or to take to the woods, and he
follows his prOph ecy by advising gold
Democrats to vote for Mckinley rather
than for Bryan.
Senator Palmer speaks with author
ity, for he is probably as much in the
councils of the gold campaign as any
one, and his consistent record as q
Democrat will give his words weight
with the minority Of his party. The
main function Of the Indianapolis con-
ve:ntton will be, in Senator Palmer's
opinion, to declare a set of Democratic
principles embodied in a platform. The
senator was asked by q CORRESPONDENT
to-day what he thought the Indianapo-
lis convention would do. He replied:
1T looks to. me now as If the dele
gates would meet, adopt q platform
and adjourn"
DO you mean without naming a
ticket?"
II think so.''
"In that event what will gold Demo
Gratis do? Vote for Mckinley, or not
vote at all?"
Il don't think many Of them will
take to the woods. think most. of
them will vote for Mckinley. For my
part; should advise every Democrat
to vote for the Republican candidate
rather than. for Bryan. "A
Senator Palmer said, although the In
dianapOlis convention would limit it's
capacity to the adoption of a plat
form, it would sufficiently vindicate
the position of the gold men by the
Democratic principles embodied in tho
resolutions.

cloudburst struck this place about p
m. yesterday, leaving death and de-
struction behind. John knight, .
miner who lived at Georgetown, was
drowned In his cabin. Several others
are reported missing, but 90 far only
two bodies, those Of knight and an I'M.
These were found In q field about six
miles below. About one hundred fam
lilies have been rendered homeless and
Of the Colonial Mining company Of
Boston, Mass, has suffered to q very
large extent, the assay office, mill
shop being washed away. It 10 feared
water. The manager and assayers
had very narrow escape, being as
sisted to the bank by means Of ropes.
Kansas City lost their main Office and
assay Office.
The place is situated in deep
canyon between high mountains. The
food attained height Of over eight
minutes. Had it 80 continued for 10
minutes longer the whole town would
have been swept away, as tho debris
had collected In the street, forming
solid wall, just as the food began to
recede. Hardly business house in
the town escaped damage. The road
leading up the mountain to the town,
which was built a few years ago at an
immense cost, and which is the only
outlet for freighters, has been ruined.
All goods brought into the camp will
have to be brought in on pack ami
mails. The storm was general to this
section of the territory. Advices from
Graham state that about 4 O'clock yes
terday afternoon cloudburst on the
mountain side careed q food at the
Confidence mine, a property belonging
to the Helena Mining company Of Den
yer, Colo, situated about three miles
from there. The food carried away
the shop and supplies of the mine.
Nine horses that were at the ore
chutes loading ore for the mill were
washed over the precipice and killed.
The men working at the tunnel barely
escaped with their lives.
1t is feared that great damage is
done on the other side Of the Mogollon
district. Nothing definite can be as
certained on account of telephone COM
munication being broken. It is feared
that the loss of life around Mogollon
will be much greater than first re-
ports made 1t. There were at least
twenty persons, mostly miners, living
right in the track of the great wall Of
water. They occupied for the most
part adobe houses. These have been
swept away and their occupants cam
not be heard from. Some Of these may
have been warned in time to get out Of
the way, but it is certain that q num-
Der have persisted.
The loss to the mining companies
will amount to thousands Of dollars.
Expensive machinery had lately been
put in the mines, and much of this is q
total wreck.
