at New Richmond and in a few days the

| reasonable accuracy. An official list of
dead has been compiled by Waldo Mosh
er. who is detailed by the central COM
mittee at New Richmond to take charge
of the remains. 1t is the first and only
list that has the official sanction of the
headquarters. Mosher is a brother Of
the general chairman and resident of
the vanished city. He personally knows
most of the people on his list. There are
over ninety names of known dead. lie
has about forty more names of those
who are rumored dead, which he is in

Greatest Needs Are Being Supplied.
The great needs after the storm were
cash and labor, and both are COM

and bring 10 light any more bodies of
dead that may be now hidden in cellars
or elsewhere. Provisions having been
sent to New Richmond in sufficient sup
ply to feed all sufferers the next need
was money, and in contributions rang
ing from a few dollars up to several
cash contributions of $1,OGO this need is
being at least partially supplied.
1t develops that there was one tor
nado insurance policy in town, and il
was a somewhat remarkable case. The
cashier of the Manufacturers bank, who
also looked after insurance. finished at
four minutes after 6 o'clock writing a
cyclone insurance policy on the house of
Severn Olson and its contents. He i'm
mediately left the bank and reached
home three minutes later, when the
storm struck. The Olson house and its
contents were entirely destroyed by the
cyclone. and Olson will receive $1,000 for
the nominal payment of $3.50 premium.

Scene at the Cemeteries.
The scene at the cemeteries was one
that Will never be forgotten. Seventy
five new-made graves may already be
counted in the Protestant and Roman
Catholic cemeteries on the south and
east limits of the town. The cold.
damp weather has added UNNECESSARILY
to the suffering. Scarcely house in the
city has a whole pane of glass. The
" hirlwind broke those windows that es-
capped the flying missiles. As a conse-
Guence it is almost impossible to make !
the nights bearable. Added to this suf |
fering from cold is the crowded condi- |
tons OF every building left in the town. !
The wonder is that hundreds of the old !
er people do not perish of sickness and /
exposure. The vaults of both banks |
which were wrecked have been opened |
and everything inside perfectly pre- !
served.

New York, June 16.-Chief of Police
Devery was catechized before the Mazet
commission yesterday as to what he
knew about boxing matches, as they
were conducted in New York. Devery
said he had attended a number of per-
formances, but had seen TO violation of
the law. He did not know, he said, that
money was charged for admission to the
ffries-Fitzsimmons exhibition; he did
not see any money pass for tickets Gun
der the Horton law, boxing exhibitions
may be given only before club mem
beers, and no fee may be charged).
No Brutality Under OueensberTy.
He explained the difference between
the Marquis of Queensbury and London
prize ring rules. He would interfere in
a fight under the London prize ring
rules. but there was, he said. no brutal
ity in bouts according to the Marquis
of Queensbury rules. He had wanted to
prevent the Jefrries- Fitzsimmons bout.
but deferred to the wishes of people who
took the opposite view.
Blows That "Jarred a Little"
Did you see any heavy blows
struck" was asked Chief Devery.
They Jared a little. 1t was a clean.

complained that he was struck heavily"
WAS there knockout blow?' That

can't say if he was knocked out
You saw him knocked unconscious
and carried from the ring?" Il did not.
l saw him put in a chair, recover imme-
diately and shake hands with his an

Moss quoted at length from newspa-
per clippings regarding the fight, but
the chief stuck to his position that I'M
der the law the police had no right to
interfere in a glove contest like that of
Jeffries and Fitzsimmons. Asked how
Jeffries comes to be champion if the
contest was not fight for the cham
pionship of the world, the chief said:
Under the law he is the Horton cham
pion."

The Truthful ssarksman.

An extraordinary shooting adventure
is recorded by a. L. Butler of the State
museum, Selangor, Malaga. One day
in last July Malay woodcutter went
out into the jungle to cut fuel, taking
with him an old single barreled. muz-
gle loading gun loaded with the rather
unscientific charge Of a bullet and four
buckshot. Moving quietly through the
jungle, he suddenly came uron a tiger
feeding on the carcass of a sambhur,
and with touching confidence in his
weapon fired at distance of 20 PAGES.
The tiger rolled over. and when the
Malay cautiously approached he found
not one dead tiger. but two. the second
having been hidden from the sports
man. though only a few feet distant
from the animal he fired at
Mr.. Butler. who made a post norton
examination of the tigers after they
had been skinned. found that in each
case a single buckshot had gone to the
heart One had also an Insignificant
wound on the head from another pellet.
For a really appalling fiuke. - as Mr..
Butler says. this achievement of the
Malay woOdcutter will be hard to beat.
1t certainly is not a performance any
sane white man will try to parallel.
much less TO eclipse.
