cred and Many More Are

GUTHRIE, O. T., March 3l.-Report

that fully $50 were badly injured.
The cyclone struck at o'clock. The
courthouse, in which Chief Justice

its foundation. The telephone office
was destroyed and the only informa-
tion received here was from tele-
phone connection made mile and
half out of Chandler.
Twenty-one Bodies RGcoyered.'
Within several hours after the storm
q dead bodies had been taken from
the ruins. Seventy-five to 100 persons
are badly injured and dozen or more
of these are reported dying.
In addition to those dead, dying and
injured, it is believed that there are
score or more dead buried beneath the
wrecked buildings. Several of the

In one building, it is reported, five
injured people were burned to death,
and at another place the incinerated

Judge Day go to Havana, as the legal
representative of the state department,
in the investigation to be made of the
alleged murder in prison of DR.. Ruiz.
There is no one in whom President
Mckinley has such entire confidence as
he reposes in Judge Day, who is his
life long friend and neighbor,
and whose discretion and good judg-
ment were long ago established. The
present proposition is to have him
go to Havana, as the representative of
the state department at the Ruiz inves-

to look over the field and make an un.

WHY MORMoNLAND HAS BEEN
SELECTED.
The Plan rs to Start Community of
1900 ut First and Study the Re-
sults-Big Miners Strike Is Post
poned.
Will It Work?

Rev. Myron w. A.eed of Denver, ma
tional president of the Brotherhood of the
Cooperative Commonwealth, of which
Eugene V. Debs and Henry D. Lloyd are
the chief promoters, said: The expert
ment will first be tried in Utah. We have
chosen Utah because the Mormons have
already proved that cooperation IN many
ways can be made a success. Our idea
is to establish cooperative communities
of 1900 people in each community. We
believe that in community of 1900, pick
ed up as we find them, will be discovered
about the right material necessary Tor
the different vocations. When the sys-
tenn has been made a success in Utah IT'S
friends can proceed to carry the educa-
tional facilities into other States. 1t IS
the intention to select a location for the
first community next fall, so that the set
tiers may move upon the land and break
ground for crops next spring. Inc pc
turesque region in Utah between the MO
Grande Western and the Union Paclnc
Railways is advocated by some as the
location of an ideal community, ana on
ers advocate beautiful valley near So

brotherhood is at present in Ihomaston'
Me-, where the national secretary, y. w.
Lermond, has his home. The total mem
bership has reached l. 44.

Action of Grand Jury.

Chicago Sausage Maker Must Await
Action of Grand jury.
Adolph L. Luetgert, the Chicago
sausage manufacturer, who is charged
with numbering his wife and destroying
the body in vat of chemicals, was held
to the grand jury Tuesday afternoon by
Justice Kersten. For week the de-
PENDANT has been before the police justice
on a preliminary hearing. Nearly all OF
the time of the court has been consumed
by the examination of the States wit
nesses. The defense declined to present
any testimony, and the attorneys battled
for the release of the defendant on the
ground that the State had not made out
its case. When the court rendered the
decision Luetgert sat at the rear OF ms
attorneys As the justice reviewed the
case briefly the defendant leaned for
ward, his hand resting on chair IN front,
and listened intently to every WORD
spoken by the court. When the court
reached that portion Of his decision winch
sent the sausage-maker to the cell to
await the action of the grand jury MS
face was like marble. As the Justice
stated that the evidence was sufficient TO
prove beyond reasonable doubt that
Mrs. Luetgert was dead and that there
was sufficient circumstantial evidence TO
connect Luetgert with the case as the
probable agent slight tremor OF the lip
was all that was noticeable.

Cruiser Marb1ehead Finds an Alleged
Filibuster.
The cruiser Marblehead, under instruc-
tons to intercept a filibustering expedi-
ton reported to be organizing off Miami
on the east coast of Florida, successfully
accomplished her mission. The Danntless
Of Jacksonville, which is alleged to have
just returned from landing her second IN
stallment of arms and ammunition IN
Cuba within the last two weeks, was
unprecedented by the Marblehead while the
alleged filibuster was taking aboard an
other cargo from the steamer Biscayne
Of New River Inlet, about twenty-five
miles above Miami. An officer and prize
crew were put in charge of the steamer
and she was brought to Key West under
the escort of the war vessel. The BIS
cayne, which was alongside the Daunt-
less transferring her cargo when the Mar
blehead hove in sight, hurriedly put for
the shore, but was intercepted at New
River by an officer of the customs. Ills
orders, however, were unheeded, and tie
men and material were subsequently land
ed at Lauderdale, on the line of the rail
road and taken away on train. Inc
Biscayne has since been seized at Miami.

Would Stay the Speaker.

The Washington detectives have fixed
upon an ECCENTRIC young man named
Monroe as the party who wrote a threat
ening letter to Speaker Reed, in which it
was strongly intimated that if he did not
change his policy and permit certain leg
islation to be enacted he would be killed.
Monroe made himself conspicuous during
the Coxey invasion three years ago and is
known to the authorities as the boy
Detective" He is an excitable person,
who, under ordinary circumstances,
would be considered harmless, but under
pressure of excitement might feel himself
called upon to re-enact the role Of Guiteau.
He was confined at one time in st. Eliza
beth's, an institution on the outskirts OF
Washington for people of unbalanced
minds. Speaker Reed was in no man
ner disturbed over the receipt Of the
threatening communication referred to-,
but some of his friends were exercised
and placed the matter in the hands of the
police, who were not long in locating the
responsibility, to their satisfaction, at
least. Their suspicious were at first
aroused by the young mans persistency in
following Speaker Reed, and further by
his industry in circulating the story Of
the letter among newspaper men.
