TRAMPS ROB A SHEEPMAN.
william Fl. Campbell Loses S125 and La
Dangerously Hurt.


Pocatello, Ida, April 27.-Two heav-
lily armed tramps beat and robbed Will
liam H. Campbell, a sheepman from
Mountain Home, late last night near
McCammon.
Mr.. Campbell was in some manner
lured up the railroad track where the
tramps had built fire, when he was
told to hold up his hands and refusing
to comply with the demand he was
knocked senseless and badly cut over
the right temple with revolver.
When he regained consciousness he
was bleeding terribly and barely man
aged to ge. back to the depot and give
the alarm.
1t is feared his skull is fractured and
he is vet in dazed condition. A posse
are after the robbers and may be sue
cessful in overtaking them.
They are described as small men,
one light and the other dark-complex-
toned with dark moustache. Both
wore handkerchiefs around their necks
and were very dirty and poorly dress
ed. The same tramps were seen in
Pocatello Thursday and were making
their way east or south.

the Russian strategists as a source OF
great weakness that the naval forces
of the empire should remain divided in
such way that one-half only, either
the Baltic or the Black Sea fleet, could
be available at one time. Between the
north and the south there is no way
for naval concentration, communica-
tions being blocked in the north by
climatic and in the south by political
distractions. In his dealings with his
grandmother's government his Majesty
the Car is never so warm and concili-
atory as when the Baltic is frozen. To
this actual thermometric condition may
be ascribed his recent expressed desire
for peace in the east
There is a motto in maritime affairs
that nothing can be improvised; every
thing has to be foreseen. 1t was with

DISASTROUS CLOUDBURST
INDIAN Territory Devastated by Heavy
Wind and Rain Storms.

Wind and RAIN storms.
Dallas, Tex, April ga special to
the News from Eufaula, l. T., says: A
series of cloudbursts, heavy wind and
rain storms occurred in and around
Eufaula all of last night and extended
over about 100 square miles of terri
tory.
The rain fell in torrents and was the
heaviest for fifty years. Farm houses.
fences and crops were washed away tc
an extent amounting to a calamity.
The damage done to crops is beyond
estimnte. Nearly every acre of ground
for many miles in all directions will
have to be replanted and many farms
are entirely under water. Several COW
cred wagons fioated down the South
Canadian river this morning, accom-
panied by small houses and household
furniture.

Minister Rail- Threatens Proclamation
Unless the Military Stan is Changed.

Unless the Military stan is Changed.
London, April 27.-|rhe most serious
feature in the GrecoTurkish emer-
gency is the revolutionary feeling dis
played at Athens. Ex-Minister Ralli,
leader of the principal opposition group
in tie legislative assembly, threatened
that unless the military staff was
changed he would issue proclamation
to the people. His statements acted
like oil upon fire and the popular ex-
element has fared up. Crowds as
sembled in the streets and wanted to
march to the palace TO read the state
ment to King George. Fortunately,
heavy showers drove the people in
doors. NJ. Delyannis, keenly alive to
the necessity of immediate action, had
an audience with the king, and after
the interview announced that the staff
of the crown prince would be recalled
and that Minister Rail-, with three
of his nominees, Generals Smolensl1i
and Maromihall and Colonel Dimopou-
Ii, would be sent to replace them.

host.
Yes. and I'll stay all winter but what

That night kept the candle burning
until midnight, then I blew it out.

But in second I was on my feet and
pursuing the ghost. 1t had gained on
me few yards, but was quicker, and
just as we reached the outside door
nearly touched its robes. They sent a
chill through my frame and l nearly
gave up the pursuit
AS 1t passed through the doorway 1t
turned and gave me one look. and I
caught the same malignant light in it's
eyes that / remembered from the night
before.
In the open orchard felt sure could
catch it.
But my ghost had no intention of al
lowing me any such an opportunity. To
my disgust 1t darted backward and into
the house, slamming the door In my face.
In frenzy Of fear and chagrin threw
myself against the oaken door with
such force that its rusty old hinges yield
ed and landed in the big front room
OF the inn just in time to see the white
skirts of the ghost flit up the stairs.
Upstairs I flew after 1t, and into an
old chamber. There, huddled in cor

had secured a lighted candle and. as
entered, it advanced to daunt me with
bony arm upraised to great height.

it turned to the door, while instantly 1
jumped out of bed to follow. Some un-
seen power compelled me to obey. The
door flew open and the ghost led me
down the stairs, through long halls into
the cellar. through mysterious under
ground corridors, upstairs again, in and
out rooms which never dreamed were
to be found in that old rambling inn.
Finally, through a small door in the
rear, we left the house. l was in my

the ground, and in the same ghostly
tones before used, said:
