tempt on Life Of
Butte Judge.

Butte, March 25--Revelations made
by discharged prisoner frustrated an
attempt upon the lives Of Judge Clancy
and County Attorney Breen today.

was to have been sentenced today, had
become possessed OF gun or other
deadly weapon, with which he intend
ed to assault the judge and attorney

ridges were found in his cell.
Jantz was formerly from St. Paul,
where his father keeps a hotel and
saloon.
He was sentenced to ten years in

TOWNS UNDER WATER
Heavy Rains and Thaw Cause
Serious Floods in Wis
cOnSin.

Milwaukee, March 25-Heavy rains
and thaw throughout Wisconsin the
past two days have caused high water
in many places throughout the state
and as result several business firms
have been compelled to suspend opera
tions, temporarily at least. She.
5oygan, Oshkosh, Fond Du Lac.
Saukville and this city are having the
worst experiences.
The flood in the Menominee river
valley in this city is higher today
than for years past and several of the
factories are unable to operate. The
Falk company have not been able to do
any work in their foundry since
Thursday, and cannot say now when
they shall be.
Piggsville, Milwaukee suburb, is
under water again and the streets and
yards OF the town are inundated The
Milwaukee west side car shops are
working, but little more of rise of
the water will food the shops. AS it
is, lake of water surrounds the shops
on all sides.
At Wauwatosa the river is threat
eningly high. Damage is not expect
ed there, but at several points lower
down some loss is feared The river
at Piggsville was 3S inches above high
water mark today and is still rising.

district lying between Eighteenth and
twentieth streets and Avenues II and
!, two blocks. Here the scene is one
of complete demolition. Frame cot
tages were reduced to fattened piles of
debris; every tree, large or small. was
either crushed down or uprooted, and
these. with fallen telephone poles and
their tangled wires, made a picture of
destruction.
A row of small cottages fronting
east upon Eighteenth street, between
Avenues H and I, were fattened out.
The occupants had no warning and
were unable to escape from their
homes and were rescued by workers
after the storm. A house on the
corner of Ninteenrh and I in this
block, was occupied by W. M. Morrill,,
member of the fire department, and
his family, consisting of wife and two
small children. The Morrills were
rescued with no more serious hurts
than few bruises. The second house
was occupied by the family of Edward
Mann. These were rescued, badly
bruised. The third house was occupied
by Roy Mccullough and Chas. K.
Robinson and their families. These
escaped serious injuries. The fourth
house was occupied by Captain N. D.
Johnston and his daughter. They
were caught in one corner of room,
the only part of the house left stand
ing, and after the storm made their
way out. The last house in the row
was the property of D. McRae. Nc
Rae was caught in the wreck and came
out unhnrt. Mrs. Hardwlck, who
lived in the same house, was i'll and in
bed. She was buried under the ruins,
but was rescued without apparent
serious injuries.
At Irondale the cyclone again re-
peated It's work of destruction.
Houses and fences were levelled to the
ground and up to this writing several
bodies have been recovered. A num-
Der of injured persons and big property
loss are reported.
Bessemer, Pratt City, Ensly, North
Birmingham and other subsurban
towns were visited by the storm and
in each much destruction was wrought,
but no loss Of life is reported Many
houses were demolished at Pratt City,
including number of churches.
At Powderly there was also much
damage and destruction and at Cleve-
land, Mrs. George HIATT was struck by
and will probably die.
Fully 500 houses were demolished
or damaged and the loss is estimate1

Manitowoc, Wis.,. March 25-The
dam on East Twin river, in the village
of Mishicott, suddenly gave way today
and it is estimated that the sudden
overflow of water did damage to the
amount of $3.50 Houses were com.
pletely turned around. Three bridges,
one in the village and two just south,
were badly damaged and it will cost

THE 0oLOR6D LANDLORD"

TIE RICHMOND DIsPAToa in its les lie
OF the 18th inst, speaks of the report
of Aud tor MARYE which shows that
the colored people, who owned nothing
at the close of the war now pay taxes
on 800 40 acres OF laud which is but
few thousand less than one million
acfes, the value of which il ($8, 979. 5e6)
eight million, nine hundred and seven
~ nine thousand five hundred and
ninety six doilare.
The DISPATCH is so dumbfounded at
these figures that it spears of the
mortgages on the same. This, brothe +
DIsPATcH. is q sword which cuts two
ways There is q mortgage on the
Richmond Ciy Hall. but the city
claims to own it. There is q mortgage
on the state government but no one
refers to it. There lie mortgage on
he national government and no one
says any thing about it.
To use plain figures, in 1898, the
United States Government owed
81 ee4 sS7. $50 80. In 1890, the state of
Virginia owed $50 .S31 3I5. The city OF
Richmond owed in 1899, 1896 ,041 So
you see il the colored folks owe the
white folks for the land pursh ased
they are following the example set by
the governments-city, state and ma
