HAD WORTHLESS CHECKS.
They Would Not Go Forth and They
Got Goforth in Jail

John r. GofOrth, of Palmer, Kansas,
is in the city Jail, having been arrested
Tuesday night by Patrolmen Fieger
and Campbell on the technical charge
OF drunkenness; but the specific charge
against him is of attempting to pass
forged checks. Tuesday afternoon he
approached J. 3. Carroll, the humane
society officer, and asked him to cash
a check for him. Mr. Carroll examined
the check and refused to cash it as he
did not know anything about it and did
not know GOforth. The check which
was afterward recovered by Chief
Steele, was made out on a Bank of To-
peka blank check and was for $50 in IA
VOr of Robert Knisler, and signed:
'Chas. Ogden, St. Joseph, Mo-" The
check was dated January H.
In North Topeka early Tuesday aft
ernoOn GOfOrth tried to pass a check
on Silver Lake farmer. The latter
reported the fact to the police and Go
fOrth's arrest soon followed. AS Chief
Steele approached GOforth while in
custody of the officers, the prisoner tried
to throw away a letter 1t was recov-
cred and proved to be from a man at
Ridgeway, Kan, addressed to John
r. GofOrth, Palmer, Kansas" The let
ter contained no information bearing
on the case. GOfOrth Tuesday pawned
a watch at MOrrisOn's jewelry store
and the pawn check was taken
by Chief Steele. The police will prose-
cute GOforth for the attempt to obtain

whose name was not learned, will be
the prosecuting witness against Co

RUMoRs AT GUTHRIE.
Conflicting Reports of the Seminole
Uprising Received.

Guthrie, o. T.. Jan. Sensational
reports were brought in today from
the vicinity of Maude by deputy United
States marshals regarding the uprising
of Seminole Indians.
Deputy Taylor reports that reign of
terror exists at the town of Maude, and
that dozens of families have moved
through fear of Indian violence. The
report of the burning of Lincoln Nc
Geisey and Palmer Simpson, two Sem
mole Indians, who mutilated Mrs.
Leard, near Maude, has been officially
confirmed, and the Indians are wild
with excitement and declare the out
rage on their kinsmen shall be avenged.
One deputy brings an unconfirmed re-
port that two white men have been
captured by Il band of Seminole bucks
and put to the thumb torture.
The village of Maude is on the Okla
homa and Indian Territory line, and is
one of the toughest localities in the
southwest.
Today United States Marshal Thomp-
son received instructions to send a
force of deputies to the line to cooper
ate with the Indian Territory officials
in quelling the outbreak.
The Seminoles are very unruly when
under the influence of whisky, which
can easily be obtained, and are espec-
tally bitter toward the whites.

where the charred bodies We're resting.
Only the trunks of the bodies remained,
the legs and arms were entirely burn
ed off and the bodies were unrecogniz-
able.
A common trace chain was around
the neck of each and securely paddock
ed. The chain was removed and was
brought back to WewoIa. 1t will be
used as evidence in the investigation.
Commissioner Fears is thoroughly in
Vestigating the matter and Mr.. Wis
dom is here to report what takes place
to the interior department.
It is rumored here that the people
along the Oklahoma line are much ex-
cited and fear the Indians will cross the
line and endeavor to avenge the death
of their brothers.
All is quiet in this section, although
quite a feeling has been created by the
cruel and hasty action of the mob. Sec
ond Chief Hulbutter has directed the
band chiefs of the Seminole nation to
urge the Indians to be quiet and not
commit any reprehensible acts.

United States Senator
Is Confirmed by the Legislature
ON Joint Ballot.
HAD MAJORITY OF ONE
Vote Was Unchanged From
That of Yesterday.
He Is Chosen For Both the
Long and Short Term.
Had MAJORITY OF ONE

Columbus, o., Jan. 12.-Although the
joint baIlOting for senator did not be-
gin till noon today, the legislative halls
were crowded early in the morning with
an overflow crowd in and about the
state house.
At the hotels. the opposing head
quarters, presented the same anxious
scenes.
The workers on both sides showed
more plainly their weariness than on
former mornings. The Hanna hustlers
were up all night on the watch.
Their opponents spent the entire
night in getting some members out of
bed and staying near others. There
were several collisions in the hotels be-
tween opposing workers and watch
had not abated any when they met
again in the state house
There were reports about attempts to
abduct certain members during the
night, but none was lost in any of the
alleged escapades. There seemed to be
less curiosity over the result of the
joint ballot for senator than over the
we'll advertised dramatic performance
in connection with charges of bribery,
conspiracy and other wrongs made by
both sides against each other, and in
the midst of all the cheering there were
sigh for relief from the wearying sus-
pense over the action of doubtful
statesmen.
It will be two weeks next Friday
since Senator Hanna arrived here, but
most of his workers had been here over
two weeks and some of his opponents
had been on the sleepless vigil for
months.
Even those who had everything to
gain and nothing to lose, seemed to
dread further tension of a deadlock All

THE DEAD NUMBER so.
of Those Outside the City Not
Yet Obtained.

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 12-At II a.
m. it looks as though so persons have
been killed and the death list is grow
ing hourly. Hundreds of persons have
been injured, some fatally and others
not so badly. The damage to property
will run up into the thousands of dol
lars, as many fine residences were razed
to the ground. Owing to the fact that
the tornado after passing through the
residence district, did its worst work in
that portion of the business district in
which the older buildings are located
the totals of damage done do not
amount up very rapidly, although many
buildings We're partially or wholly ruin
ed. For this reason 1t is probable that
the sum of $500, 600 will cover the loss to
buildings and contents, including the
new $4,000 high school building which
was directly in the path of the storm
and was badly wrecked.
Added to the fact that many of the
people in teh outside district were kill
ed in the crash of the falling residences
and it will be seen why the list of the
dead rolled up so rapidly.
A heavy rain followed the tornado
and it was probably 20 minutes before
the city awOl1e to the fact that it had
been visited by a fearful calamity. The
fire department was called out and in
less than 30 minutes Garrison avenue
especially in the vicinity of the wreck,
was crowded with people. Men and
women clad in their night clothes from
the neighbOring houses We're seeking
shelter and calling for aid or for some
absent member of the family. Men,
women and children sought refuge in
O'Keefe's saloon and were afforded
shelter. In the back part of the saloon
number of injured were stretched out
on the floor with only their night
clothes. Miss Wood, one of the nurses
of the ST.. John hospital was on the
scene and did all that could be done to
relieve the immediate wants of the in
jured in the rear of the saloon.
The telephone wires were nearly all
down and it was impossible to com
outskirts of the city. The streets were
filed with the debris blown from the
wrecked buildings, that it was with
difficulty that carriages could get
around

According to persons present, George
J. Gould, at the last meeting of the
Western Union directors, addressed
these words to Russell Sage.
The outbreak was occasioned by a
discussion over a measure of improve
ment which had been proposed by Mr.
Gould. The Improvement, however, in
volved considerable expense, and Mr.
Sage had q number of objections to Of

1t was the first open rebellion on the

Jay Gould died, his parting injunction

of Russell Sage, and when they diff

statement was given out last night by
the representatives of the general as
