Oklahoma and Indian Territory Caught
l~1nnrAnarAd

Oklahoma and Indian Territory caugh,
U~nprepared.
Guthrie, O.. T., Dec. 14.-The biz.
card which has been raging over Okla.
homa and Indian Territory since
Thursday at midnight has done great
damage to stock in western Oklahoma,
where the ranges are unprotected and
cattlemen had not anticipated the sud
den change. The same is true in all
portions of the two territories, but
not to such a great degree. The
drought of the summer injured all
stock and their condition was not fit
to Withstand the fierce norther.
From the Creek and Cherokee Ma
lions Of Indian Territory come reports
of intense suffering among the full
blood Indians whose crops were ruin
ed by the drought and who must rely
on provisions from their legislature
during the winter. Unverified reports
from isolated districts report several
deaths among the younger full-bloods.
The blizzard is proving a great hard
ship to the settlers in the new coun-
try who are living in tents, shacks and
sod houses.

IN COLD N o
John Neubert Wanders From His
Home.

Fort Benton, Dec. 13.-"Uncle John
ME" Neubert, a prominent rancher
and stockman, started for a walk from
his house on his ranch on Teton yes
terday afternoon. Night came on and
he did not return. Searching parties
were sent out. The parties anne to
town and said they found him this
morning at the Emblem ranch on
Teton. He had wandered in the cold
and darkness eight miles over the
hills. He was found by his son, Cyrus,
and William Brinkman, exhausted and
chilled. No cause is assigned for his
wandering away except that two
months ago he had two operations
performed in Great Falls for an alb
scess on the side of his face. This
is supposed to have affected his brain.
Neubert took him home today. He
was a candidate on the democratic
ticket for the legislature last fall.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The secre,

The practice in such cases is laid
down specifically in the naval regula

The question has been raised since
the appearance of the two reports in

ON CASH BASIS.
State Prepared to Pay Outstanding
Warrants On General Fund.

State Treasurer Barrett must have
almost no end OF money in the strong
box to which he carries the key, judg-
ing from the liberal manner in which
he is advertising calls for warrants.
Today he will begin to redeem a
large amount OF general fund war
rants. He announces that all of that
class of warrants outstanding will be
paid and the likelihood is that for
sometime thereafter all warrants on
that particular fund will be paid in
cash when ever presented.
This will be the second time in it's
history that the state has been on a
cash basis in the matter Of the gener-
al fund warrants. The total amount
of warrants which will be paid out of
this fund is about $4,000. In addi-
ton to honoring all general fund war
rants the treasurer also announces that
today he will begin paying Agricul-
tural college bond fund warrants regis
tered up to July 26, and amounting
to $4,449.77. He will also pay out
standing reform school warrants reg
sstered up to October 26, 1896, which
amount to $4,000.

DIE IN THE STORM
PERISH WHILE TRYING TO SAVE
THEIR SCATTERED HERDS.

Cheyenne, Dec. 14.-The storm il
southern Wyoming shows no signs o
abatement. The thermometer now be
low zero. Several herders have beer
frozen to death in efforts to save sheer
that scattered during the storm.
The loss Of sheep cannot be est
mated, the flocks being much scatter
ed. Many have been killed in rail
road cuts, where they went to find
refuge from the cold wind.
Late reports received from the
southern, western and eastern por.
tions of the state show that the wealth.
err for the past "a hours has been of
unusual severity. The temperature
falling "a degrees below zero at many
places. At Cheyenne the temperature
was % below at Z o'clock this, morn
ing. Reports from Laramie, Rawlins,
Green River and Casper tell of tenn
peratures ranging from 20 to 80 de-
grees below zero. The weather began
to moderate today. Thus far no Of
fetal reports have been received from
stock losses except where sheep hud-
died together on the railroad and were
killed by the cars. But rumors are
rife of heavy losses among sheep in
the country between Rawlins and
Green River where it seems the storm
was most severe.
Reports have just been received
that five sheep hereders persisted in
the blizzard near Point of Rock, Thurs
day night.
Up to date ten lives have been lost
as the result of the blizzard in Wyo-
ming.

DISAPPOINTED AND MAD.
Isidore Raynor Not Satisfied With
Courts Findings.

Baltimore, Dec. 13.-1sidore Raynol
showed keen disappointment when the
findings of the court of inquiry were
communicated to him tonight. He an
nounced that he would go to Washing
ton as soon as his engagements will
permit, Probably Monday or Tuesday
and he will counsel Admiral Schley to
fight the case to a finish by every ap-
peal that is possible. In an interview
he said: Il would prefer not now to
say anything in connection with the
opinion. I think the country will al
most unanimously accept Admiral
Dewey's judgment. The testimony
was SO overwhelming, upon almost
every m of the specifications, in IA
o Of Schley that l must confess I
am utterly at a loss to understand
upon what facts or upon the evidence
of what witnesses the other two men,
bers of the court reached their con-
illusions.
II am absolutely sure that the opin-
ion of the two judges is at a total
variance with the opinion Of the
country, and that this will not by any
means terminate the controversy. I
shall advise the admiral to fight to a
finish, and open it by every appeal
that is possible, congressional or
otherwise, and l believe that the senti-
ment of the whole country will uphold
him in his resolve not to let the judg-
mant stand"

The Reports.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The report
OF the Schley court of inquiry was
promulgated by Secretary Long to-
night.
There are two reports. Admirals
Benham and Ramsey concur in the
first, which is signed by Admiral
Dewey also as a matter of form. Ad-
miral Dewey makes a separate re-
port. although he agrees with the find
ings of facts subscribed to by the
others.
The majority report condemns Ad-
miral Schley On II points, while Ad-
miral Dewey sustains him in most
particulars. The majority opinion
finds, in brief, that Admiral Schley
should have proceeded with the ut
most dispatch to Cienfugos and main
tanned a close blockade, that he should
have endeavored to obtain informa-
ton OF the Spanish squadron, that he
should have proceeded to Santiago
with despatch, that he should not have
nade the zretrograde movement, that
he should have obeyed the depart
Dents' orders, that he should have en-.

RAILROAD TRAINS DELAYED
severest December Weather In Years
In the Mississippi Valley
and Lake Region.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Chicago expert
enced today and tonight one of the
most severe cold snaps on record, fol
the early part of the winter. The
weather Office predicted early in the
day that it would prove the most Sc
we're weather that the city has felt FOL
rs years in the month of December
and no flaws "a be found in the pre-
dictions. Three deaths were report
ed to the police during the day as hav
ing been caused by the cold, they
were: John Grammar and John Hay
who died of exposure. An unidentified
mar dropped dead at the intersection
of Kenzie and Wells streets, death
caused by heart failure induced by
cold.
At daylight this morning the mer-
curry in the weather Office stood at
8 below zero and the highest point
reached during the day was 6 below
at 5 a. m. In the evening the tenn
perature began to fall and at 8 p. m.
it was 8 below. The prediction by
the weather office was for Is below
zero by Sunday morning, a figure that
will mark the coolest weather in De-
cember for a quarter of a century.
The cold weather today proved very
hard on the traction companies, and
many of the street car lines had much
difficulty in running cars. The storm
of last night was at first rain and later
sleet and then snow. The rain and
sleet froze on the trolley wires and
On the rails making it almost impos-
sible in places to move the cars. The
elevated roads, all of which operate
with the third rail, were in bad shape
all morning, because of the ice and it
was found necessary to send out men
to emove all the ice from the third
rail before any speed could be made
with the trains. The ice and snow
drifts also caused delay, as a result
many trains, particularly those from
the west, being from 80 minutes to
two hours behind time.
The railroads operating suburban
lines were not able to carry their
passengers with any approach to regu-
Jar schedule. In some instances the
trains were not able to make more
than three miles an hour and they
were run at irregular intervals.
In the large down town stores,
where Christmas shoppers were in
force, it was found impossible to keep
buildings at a comfortable tenn
perature, because of the constantly
opening doors and the clerks wore
,loaks and o%vercoats as they stood be-
hind the counters.
The cold was accompanied by a
gale from the northwest that made
suffering much more severe.

presses full concurrence in all the
findings of fact and in all the opinions
reached by the court except those with
respect to which he has otherwise
signified dissent in his minority opin-
ion"
Opinion in the senate is divided
as to the probability of a c~ongression-
al investigation of the Schley con-
troversy, but is upon the whole against
the probability of such a course A
majority of the republican senators
appear to be adverse to the reopen
ing Of the question, and those of this
view include the friends of Admiral
Schley. Senator Hoar. expressed him
self as content to abide by the opin-
ion of Admiral Dewey because of his
superior facilities for reaching a cor
rect conclusion and Senator Mason
took a similar position, adding that
the opinion of the admiral Of the navy
would be accepted as the verdict Of
the country regardless of what con-
clusion the other members Of the
court might have reached. Senator
Hale thought there would be and
should be no further in vestigation.
He is chairman of the committee on
naval affairs and said he would use
whatever influence he might possess
against further inquiry as detrimental
to the best interests of the navy. Sen
ator Cullom declared that further in
quiry would be tomfoolery and that
no more light on the subject could be
secured.
Democratic senators generally seem
disposed to wait upon an expression of
opinion by the friends of Admiral
Schley. Senator Martin said that
while he did not feel called Upon to
present a declaration, he thought that
congress should adopt a joint resolu-
ton stating it's confidence in the ad-
miral. Senator Bacon said he would
be glad to vote for a resolution de-
Admiral Dewey's position to
the correct position. Senator Mon
~ %assented to the proposition that
congress should act, if action was de-
sired by the friends of Admiral Schley.
Senator Rawlins thought a resolution
If confidence would be in order, and
Senator Jones of Arkansas thought it
most probable that a resolution bear
ng upon the question was among the
Probabilities. Representative Pearre of
Maryland, who represents the Mary
and district from which Admiral
came, stated today that he
would introduce a resolution for a
congressional investigation of the en-
ire Sampson-Schley affair, unless his
.olleague from Maryland, Mr.. Schirm,
Who had contemplated introducing
UGH a resolution carried out this ac-
ion. Mr. Pearre states he has not
the details of the propos-
d congressional inquiry, but he thinks
would be desirable to have it con-
by a special committee rather
by one of the regular committees
the house.
