Lives Are Lost.


PoRT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept 49,
Can't. Nelson, master of the tug Pho
neer, says: Three men came to skagnay
beach on Monday night with a story
to the effect that at Sheep camp, at
$3.50 o'clock Monday morning peculiar
sound from the southwest side of the
mountain was heard and, before the
residents of the camp could fully dress,
they found themselves rapidly bosne
down the canyon on mass
of moving debris from the noun
tain side. A majority of the
residents Of Sheep camp escaped,
although nearly the entire village was
destroyed. The slide struck the town
in the northern part, where nearly all
the packers were quartered in tents
and asleep. The main part of the
slide from the mountain missed Sheep
camp proper, although from the report
very little of the town remains. Inc
packers camp was wholly carried
away, and it is impossible to
learn the names of the unfortu-
mates, as they were all known by
their cognomens, such as Jack, Jim'
Dick and the like.

EX-LIEUT. Gov. PERCY DANIELS, of
Kansas, has startling proposition to
make at the irrigation congress to be
held in Nebraska. His plan is to tap
the Missouri river at the mouth of
Milk river in Montana and turn it's
waters into canal that will empty
into the Red river of Texas. The
length of the canal would be 100
miles. The cost of the canal, in his
judgment, would be S306, 900, 900. The
building of it would give employment
to the surplus la Dor of the nation and it
would give the semi-arid lands of the
west an inexhaustible supply of water
for irrigation purposes.

SEEKS TO RECOVER DAMAGES.
j. w. McCown Sues a Kansas City "Dyna-

Snop ioE Noney Iost'
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 25.-J. w.
McCown wants his money back. He
lost it-$1, 250-in a dynamite buckle t
shop" he says, and unless there is Il
mistake in the Missouri statutes he
may get it back, for there is section
that fits his case and all other similar
cases exactly. Briefly, section 5000 of the
revised statutes of Missouri, 1889, and
as early as 1879, says that ANY per-
son who shall lose any money or prop
erty at any game or gambling device
may recover the same by civil action. y
The Missouri reports show that the
law was once in successful operation
and was sustained by the courts. In
the Missouri appeals it is cited on
page 40 but of late years it has
fallen into disuse and seems to
have been forgotten.
