GETTING AWAY.
Great Exodus from the City of Calves

ton.
Galveston, Sept. 15-The exodus from
Galveston grows in numbers as the facil-
tiles for getting away from the stricken
city are increased. Boats left here today
more frequently than on any day since
the storm, some proceeding to Houston,
via Buffalo Bayou, and others making
connections at Texas City with the
Rio Grande Northern railroad train.
Among those who departed today we're
General Mckibben and Lieutcnants
Ferguson and Perry, who were sent
hither by the United States government
when the news of the horror was given
to the world. General McKibben will
communicate with the war department
on his arrival in Houston and then pro-
coed to San Antonio to transact official
business which is requiring his attention.
Before leaving he was solicited by the
authorities to return and expects to do
SO within the next four or five days. The
news which was printed here this morn
ing in the shape of personal telegram
from Vice-President Huntington that
the Southern Pacific is not to abandon
Galveston has created intense satisfac-
ton and materially accelerated the
movement for the speedy reconstruction
of the city.

Galveston in the early days of October,
resulting in deposit over the greater

About The Attack On Columbia Falls

About The Attack On Columbia Falls
Townsite Titls.
From the Montana Daily Record.
Butte, Montana, Sept. 1.-THE owner
ship of the whole of one Montana town,
or practically the whole of it, is involved
in lawsuit which will be commenced in
the United States court at Helena with
in few days, according to information
gathered here today from source re-
garded as authoritative. The property
involved is the original townsite Of Col
umbia Falls in Flathead county, together
with all the buildings and improvements
situated thereon. The value of the prop
erty, the title to which the plaintiffs to
the suit will seek to recover, is approx
mately 100000.
The story of this lawsuit about to be
instituted, is the story Of the alleged at
tempt of a coterie of Butte capitalists to
speculate on the Great Northern Rail
road company plans which failed and
which accounts, according to the inform
ant of the Records correspondent, for
the Great Northern division point being
located at Kalispell instead of at Colum-
bia Falls.
These Butte capitalists, so the story
goes, obtained inside information that
the Great Northern in building it's line
to the Pacific coast some years ago, would
make Columbia Falls a division point
Seeing therein a neat speculation, they
took steps to acquire 100 acres of land
which the railroad would be obliged to
cross if the company carried out it's de-
sign, expecting to build there town and
make the railroad company pay hand
somely for entering it, The present
holders of this land, or the original hold
crs, procured it by means of Indian
script and on it practically all there is of
Columbia Falls was built. The plaintiffs
to the forthcoming litigation hope to re-
cover title to the town, by raising ques-
ton as to the paternity Of the Indian
from whom the script was obtained.
There lived in Butte at the time the
Great Northern started to build it's line
to the coast, one Frank Langford who
was considerable of Spectator and pro
motor. Langford obtained what he re-
garded as accurate information that the
railroad would make Columbia Falls a
division point and at once conceived the
idea of cleaning up pot of money by
building town and holding up the rail
road He organized a company known
as the Northern International Improve
ment company, the parties to which were
himself, James A. Talbot, Andrew j..
Davis, jr., and James E. Gaylord. They
went to Columbia Falls, and filed on the
100 acres of land which is to be brought
into dispute, and which is the site of the
town.
Something like 100000 was invested
before the railroad reached the town. A
bridge costing several thousand dollars
was built across the Flathead river. A
Touring mill entailing an expenditure of
from $4,000 to $4,000 was set in opera
ton. The Gaylord hotel, costing up
wards of $4,000. was built, brick blocks
were erected. bank was started, and al,

INTEREST IN STREET
 FAIR ON THE INCREASE
"Grady" the Baby Lion Will be One of the Many Features of the
 Midway

Interest in the Street Fair and Trades Carnival to be held in this city during the week beginning May IA under the auspices of the Elks, continues to increase, and in dications point to the most successful en- tertainment ever held in Birmingham.
 Many splendid features will be presented, and will attract large crowds daily.
 Last October on the Midway at the Geor- gia State fair held at Exposition Park, Atlanta, Ga, a baby lion was born to "Wallace,' the celebrated man-eating lion, and his faithful mate, Flora" considered the finest female specimen of the Asiatic species in captivity. The baby was named by the showmen Grady in honor of the late Hon. Henry w. Grady, distinguished in life as editor and statesman. Thousands visited the new born. It was given ova- ton after ovation. Prominent women of the south visited Grady" and showered him with flowers, caresses and kind wishes. The leading people of Atlanta or ganized and formally, with great pomp and ceremony, christened the magnificent little fellow. Busy reporters took this up, and sent a description of the ceremony broadcast. The rest of "Grady's" tour through the south was one continued ova- tion. He will be on exhibition on the Mid way here during the entire week of the Street fair. At winter quarters this past fall and winter Grady was given lessons in performing feats booth rare and anus ing. This season he is advertised not only as the first lion ever born in the south, but the youngest performing lion in all the world.
 Both his father and mother will be seen on the Midway with him, and all give a series of startling performances. The keep CT of "Wallace'' enters his den and fights him to finish It is fierce encounter. The lion tanner who braves this awful dan ger is skilled in the art of capturing and handling wild beasts. "Wallace" in his time has killed three men. He is kept in a steel-bound den that could defy the dead ly contents of a Krupp gun.
