CARL scHuRz ON SOUND MONEY
Gave an Address 10 Small Audi
ence of Germans.

indianapolis, Oct. 17.-Hon. Carl Schurz
IN an address delivered in German tonight
before small audience, under the au-
spices of the German-American Sound
Money League, in speaking of the dnan-
ciai issues now being fought out in the
campaign, said
MY friends, this whole free coinage
movement is a mad craze. 1t was con-
ceived in iniquity and brought into life in
revolutionary outburst at the demo-
cratic-populist convention at Chicago.
The whole monstrous and unnatural ef-
fort il it confers one benefit from it's re-
alization, will only confer that benefit
upon certain class of debtors who are
only too glad to pay their honest debts at
so cents on the dollar. 1t is merely In
tended to open a way for the thrlftlass
and dishonest bankrupt, by which he may
be able to enforce the satisfaction of an
honest contract for less than is actually
due under that contract. 1t was never in
tended for the upbuilding of the honor OR
the nation or the general and everlasting
good of the masses of the people, but If
It should come to pass as a result of the
approaching election it will bring down
upon this republic the black stigma of Ie-
pudiation and destroy our national ere lit
among the governments of the world"

ALTATA WIPED OFF THE E)I
Small Mexican Town - Gcttine Use1
To IT. Fst 80 h.

San Francisco, Oct. 1s.-On the last TIL
5of the Pacific Coast steamship Orixaba
up the Gulf of California the officers ana
crew Of the vessel were surprised to fnd
one of the ports they make regularly
wiped OFF the earth When the ship
reached the mouth of the river Culican, In
the state of Sinaloa, the little mining
town of Aitata, which had stood there en-
the Orizaba's last voyage, was gone. Not
building was left standing. This was
one of the results OF the terrible storm
Which played such havoc on the mainland
coast of the gulf September II and IS.
The Orizaba has just brought the first
details, which give a comprehensive idea
of the extent of the damage done. The
storm was a sort of composite affair, par
taking of the nature of tidal wave and
cloudburst. Torrents rushed down from
the hills back of Alfalfa and met the .ilal
wave carried in from the Sea, and the
town was obllterated. Many of the mines
located inland from the coast were flooded
by the cloudburst. Fortunately the loss
of life was slight. and the Altatans are
now camping in tents or rudely construct
ed huts a little back of where the town
stood. Viewing the former site OF The
town from the coast, the most striking
objects that meet the eye are the spars
Of the schooners Comota and Rebe,ca
and the German barkentipe Helen, which
were beached by the great wave.
At Mazatlan, fur Their up the gulf most
remarkable result of the storm Is OBJ
served. In the middle of the main street
of Mazatlan, more than block from the
waters edge, was the sight of a schooner
that rode on a tidal wave, and when it
receded was left high and dry. Mazatlan
stood the storm fairly WE'LL but much
damage was done. Four German barks
that were so fortunate as to be well off
land weatheied the storm in the gulf out
side. They made port two days after the
fury of the elements had subsidized. minus
all of their canvas.
The San Vincento mine, situated a mile
to the rear of Mazatlan. was flooded to
the surface by the cloudburst
So far as Altata is concerned, 1t is no
new thing for 1t to find itself Off the map.
This is the third time the town has been
swallowed up by the sea- Twice the place
has been rebuilt, each time at point
further up the Culican river. This time
the residents will build well in from the
coast, 1t is said.

NE rehants, Hotel and travelling Men
stand and Deliver mt the Or
der of the Outlaws.

Guthrie, o. T., Oct. 1S-Further partic-
uiars were received today of the raid on
the little town of Carney about 20 miles
east of here, last night About o'clock
at night six masked and heavily armed
outlaws, supposed TO nave been headed
by the notorious Dynamite Dick" one
OF the associates of. the Daltons and Bill
Doolin, rode into the place and literally
held up the town. Carney is a town of
about 200 people. The robbers entered the
village from the north with a great show
of firearms. Two of the outlaws entered
the general store of B. Fouts and COM
pelied him and his son to open the safe.
After securing about $500 from there they
bound both the father and son, threw
them upon horses and carried them about
TWO miles out of town; there they tied
them to a tree.
In the meantime the rest of the Gang
had entered the postoffice, but failing TO
secure anything of value they raided the
hotel, compelling the proprietor and sew
eral travelling men who were stopping
there to turn over their money, watches
and jewelry. Several smaller stores were
also raided Before entering Carney the
outlaws had taken the precaution to cut
the telephone wires leading to Chandler,
SO that there might be no chance of
failure. During the raid the bandits kept
up fusillade of bullets in all directions,
terrorizing the inhabitants so that hut
little effort was made to resist the and
ers. 1t was some time after the bandits
had left before order could be restored
and an organized pursuit began.
Finally, after considerable delay, about
100 armed men began the chase. The pur-
suers were divided into three bands and
went in different directions. At dark to-
night the bandits had not been overtaken
News was received today at the United
States marshal's office that two men, sup
posed to have been members of the gang,
had stopped at a farm house about Is
miles northeast of here and demanded
food. Several United States marshals
headed by Deputy Colcord, are in PR
suit.

Pearl, mulatto was shot and killed at
Pondtown, a few miles from here, last
night by Hartman Calaman and John Bel
delman, Pearls companion, was seriously
wounded. The details of the shooting re-
lated by Calaman, when he was brought
to the county prison today, read like a
chapter from a blood and thunder novel.
Pearl and Beidelman went to the home OF
Theodore Calaman, against whom Be;del-
man had a grudge because of the formers
refusal to permit him to marry his daugh-
ter, and began stoningi it. They broke
every window light in the house and IN
flicted injuries on Mrs. Calaman and the
infant she was carrying in her arms. In
addition, many articles of furniture and
crockery were broken. One of the r4ts-
siles hurled through a window was the
knuckle end of the shin bone of beet.
This made a hole in the stovepipe ana
lodged there, being seen by the ottica
when they visited the house today.
Satisfied with the damage done to the
house of the father of Beidelman's sweet
heart, the two men loudly proclaimed
that they would so to the home of Har-
man Calaman, brother of Theodore Cal
aman, who resides less than 100 yards
away, and would do him up" Hartman
Callahan evidently overheard the thraat
of the men, for he went into the garden,
a few feet from his house. armed with a
shotgun. When the men began the same
abuse of his family that they had inflicted
upon his brothers household, Hartman
Callahan blazed away with his gun, kill
ing Pearl instantly. He then went to. his
barn, reloaded the weapon and shot Bel
delman, who had followed him into the
orchard. The load lodged in Beidelman's
eft leg, infiicting serious wound. Both

by the attempt of the republican state

purpose of paying the expenses of the

Many have contributed through fear
OF the wrath Of the politicai bosses, but
a few have defantiy denounced an at

mail.
One Of these, J. B. Clark was told by
leading county official that for his re-
fusal a man would be placed in front OF
his particular saloon on Thursday for
the special purpose of diverting patron
