SENTS CHARGES OF FRAUDU-
LENT OPERATIONS
AFFAIRS IN GOOD CONDITION
Says His Absence Was Due to Sick
nesS-He Will Resume Business
and Aid I'm Making
Investigation.

ut will be shown that information en-
bodied in the attorney generals com
plant was with one exception furnished
by men who left the American Mining
investment company because they were
not permitted to rob it any longer"
Z. r. Tuttle, general manager of the
American Mining and Investment COM
pany, returned yesterday from Chicago
and thus expressed himself when seer
by a reporter in regard to the recent
action taken by the courts Mr.
Tuttle denies that his absence from the
city was occasioned by the legal steps
taken In fact, Mr. Tuttle says he is
quite incensed over the fact that this
| impression prevails in certain circles
"On my return from Curlew about four
weeks ago 1 was taken SICK" said Mr..
Tuttle. THE finding of the attorney
general proved such a strain upon me
that everybody at the Office knew that
L was unfit for business tnen went
to an expert in Chicago for treatment.
L have now partially recovered and come
home to resume business and to assist
IN full and thorough investigation
winch seems to be desired by the state
regret more than anything else that
L should be charged with trying to avoid
any responsibility of the company. No
one who knows me will say that of me.
Had l heard the courts condemnation
or US at the time I am afraid it would
nave killed me. All l ask now is a fair,
full and dispassionate investigation.
am willing to take my full share Of re-
sponsibility If any wrong has been done,
and l expect others to do the same.
VIII be in my office in the Northwest
ern building after tomorrow morning."
In further discussing the condition of
the company Mr.. Tuttle said that its
affairs would be found to be In an ex-
ceIlent condition, and that the state
ment that it had no mining pronerties
would be proven to be false. Mr.. Tuttle
said that in due time this would all be
shown to the satisfaction of the court.

TORNADO WRECKED BUILDINGS.
Strip Twelve Miles Long and Mile
and a Half Wide Devastated

LINCOLN, ILL.,, June 23.-Damage ,esti-
mated at fully $lG0,00 was done last
night by a tornado that swept across
Logan county, unrooing public buildings,
wreching residences and business houses,
laying low great tracts Of grain and de-
molishing outbuildings of all sorts.
1t is almost miraculous that there was
not great loss Of life but so far no cas-
ualties have been reported
The storms path was about a mile and
a half in width and probably twelve miles
long. One end of the large brick chapel
building at the Illinois asylum for fec e
minded children was torn out, and the
forest surrounding the state property was
ruined.
The county poor farm, west of the city
was almost entirely wrecked. The main
building of the institution, constructed
of brick and stone, was demolished, and
the occupants barely escaped with their
lives.
Lincoln College, which was on the
north boundary of the storms path, was
partly unroofed. The large campus, COW
ering eleven acres, is a mass of wrecked
trees.
In this city the Lincoln mattress fac
tory, brick building, was almost de-
stroyed, the third story being blown off
and the roof carried a hundred yards.
The roller -four mills were struck and q
large mole was Doreu through the DICK
building.
The residence of Mayor Miller was
crushed by falling trees and the family
sought shelter from the storm at a
neighbOr's house.
Several store buildings were unroofed
and the torrents of rain which accom-
panied the wind flooded the stocks, caus-
ing great damage.
At Middletown, the Warren Grain Ele-
IL
and a number of stores were unroofed.
New Holland, Burton View, Beason and
Mount Pulaski were also touched by the
tornado.
At Elkhart, three box cars, in which
were quartered workmen on the Alton
section, were blown from a side track
and one of the occupants was killed.
Hundreds of farmers suffered heavy
losses This city was entirely cut off
from communication with the outside
world from 9 o'clock last night until
tonight.

TORNADO WORKS HAVOC IN OHIO
Buildings Damaged by Winds and
Floods.

COLUMBUS, O., June 23.-There were
severe storms in many sections of Ohio
Saturday and Saturday night, and con-
siderable damage was done to property
and crops. No fatalities have been re-
ported, but a number of people were in
jured. A veritable tornado swept Con-
cord township, Delaware county, de-
stroying a number Of buildings. A barn
on the farm OF Caleb Harsh collapsed,
and Frank Phillips. and George Heath,
who had taken refuge In 1t, were caught
by falling timbers. Phillips had two ribs
broken and may not survive. Heath had
a leg broken. M
A terrifice storm prevailed in Columbus
and vicinity about o'clock this morning.
The chief damage was done from water,
which flooded the Easements of many
business houses. The losses amount to
many thousand dollars.
A tornado, the path Of which was
about thirty yards wide, and four or
five miles long, cut through the southern
part of Mount Sterling at o'clock this
morning. Everything inthe path of the
storm was leveled. Rhe5 house occupied

HARD TO OBTAIN DETAILS.
Districts Where Worst Damage Was
Done Are Inaccessible


BLUEFIELD, w. Va, June 23.-Details
of the great Pocalhontas field flood are
hard to obtain owing to the inaccessibility
of the mining district where the fury
and havoc of the angry waters caused
the most appalling loss of life and prop
erty. At keystone the water began to
rise at o'clock Sunday morning, and
by II o'clock the flood had spent it's fury
AT least two-thirds of the little city was
washed away or demolished. 1t is known
that sixteen residents OF the north side
of the stream lost theiy lives, and at least
fifty of these living on the south, or low
er side, were drowned 1t Is now GER
tain that the total list of dead from one
of the Ellkhorn valley to the other wifi
reach 200.
At least 500 mine mules were drowned.
But little damage is done to the mines
proper, the drift mouths were high up
the mountain sides Several mines, how
ever, are reported flooded, but it is i'm
possible to ascertain the extent of the
damage.
AT Rolfe a large number of miners
houses were swept away as well as the
handsome residences of the company's
physician. Twenty-Five houses are
jammed together in one large mass of
broken timbers and debris. At Indian
Ridge the country store was completely
demolished and the stock lost. The resi-
dence of Capt. C. Botsford, the manager.
is wrecked also. In the Elkhorn valley
it is estimated that the loss to the rail-
road and coal interests will exceed
81, GO0, coo.
The Cosier company, one Of the largest
operators, lost a thousand horsepower
electric plant and many buildings and
coke ovens. Their loss is said to be
$4,000. The Houston company is dam
aged some $4,000. The Tierney interest,
consisting of four collieries, will lose
$75 000
Later advices from the Clinch Valley
division confirm the reported drowning
of ten persons.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 2S.-(spe-
cial. l-Stockmen who have cattle on that
portion Of the abandoned Fort Sisseton
military reservation Which lies within
the boundaries of Marshall county are
liable to have a hot time with the au-
thorities of that county. The county
assessor made a trip through the mil

Eessing the cattle belonging to the
stockmen, who, however refused to LIST
the animals for assessment, claiming
that the stock had been assessed else

worth an aggregate of about $l25, 600, the
county authorities will give the stock

TWO HUNDRED DEAD.
Amount of Money Loss Cannot Be
Estimated ut Present.


NEW YORK, June 23.-Henry Fink
president of the Norfolk & Western Rail-
way company. was seen at his hotel to-
night in reference tc the West Virginia
disaster. Mr.. Fink was in receipt of a
dispatch from General Manager l.. e
Johnson, of the system. Mr.. Johnson 6
headquarters are in Roanoke, Va, from
which place he telegraphed. He said that
the loss of life was reported to be very
large, and that it was estimated that
about 200 persons had perished. The
damage to Norfolk & Western property,
he stated, was to rails and bridges on
the Bluestone & North Fork branches.
Mr.. Fink said:
"The amount of money less cannot at
present be estimated. AS to the loss of
life, the country is not very thickly set
tied around there, and l cannot but be-
lieve that it has been exaggerated. 1t is
in the coal regions and the people are
principally miners The food must have
been due to a clou A)urst, as the dis
patch from Mr. Johnson states that the
damage to our property is on the Blue
stone and North Fork branches, one of
which is east and the other west Of
the Flat Top mountains"

ESTIMATES STILL GROWING.
Losses Likely TO Mount Up Into the
Millions

BLUEFIELDS, w. Va, June 3d.
Bodies are being recovered many miles
down the stream, where they were
washed ashore. When 1t is considered
that the Elkhorn river is so small that
it barely furnishes enough water to
flush the coke ovens when in it's normal
condition some idea of the extent of
the downpour of rain can be formed. The
railroad company now estimates the
damage to it's tracks between this city
and Vivian at over $5O0,OOO. There is at
least 100 miles of track bordering the
river that cannot be heard from, as
there is no means of communication in
tact Communication has been estab-
lished as far west as Ennis, this being
through about one-fourth of the stricken
district
Latest reports say that the lower end
Of the coal fields between Vivian and
Gray suffered severely. Fully $1,OO0, 600
damage has been done to coal and lum-
ber interests.
