Very Disastrous CIoudburst.

A very disastrous cloudburst Oc.
Cured last week In the valley where.
In are located Wlckes, Corbin and
Jefferson. Ii started a short distance
from Wickes and swept down with
terrific force on the line Oi the Great
Northern, sweeping large fill away
and continuing its headlong course
down the valley.
Those who suffer the principal
pecuniary loss are the Northern Pa
clfic railroad company and the Peck
Mountain company, the latter owner

dividuals suffer some loss In the de-
struction of crops, carrying away Of
fences and damage to buildings. The
total will notbcvery great, although
first reports placed the loss at a high
dgure.
The lake which was let loose down
the valley was hut portion OF the
water that rushed downupon towns
and ranches, destroyed property and
created II panic among people IN It's
path.
4 terrific thunder ana lightning
storm accompanied the Hood. The
cloudburst was at thch ufa small
gulch opening into the valley below
Wickes. Above the town are numer-
Gus other gulches and below the con-
dltious are the same.
When the grcut body Of water re-
leased by the caying cmbankment
reached the main valley each gulch
was pouring out great streams Of
wntcr. The fall Of rain throughout
the valley amounted almost to n
cloudburst. In fact it Is believed that
there were several smaller cloud
bursts at the head OF gulches not in-
hablted.

particularly allurlng. He reasoned
To himself that an engine was an en-

Ohio Convention Refused Indorse>
ment Of Him or Of Kansas
City Platform.
THEY STAMPED ON HIS PICTURE
Man Who Prosecuted Standard Oil
Trust Also Refused Any
Chance.

Columbus, July l0-The Demo-
cratic convention adjourned tonight
after nominating the following ticket:
Governor-Jame kllbOurne.
Lieutenant Governor - Anthony
Howells.
Judge OF Supreme Court-lIarry Il.
Young
Attorney General-M. d. Mccarthy.
Treasurer of State-.R. =. Alshlre.
Member OF Board OF Public Works
james B. Holman.
Ii was currently reported that
Mayor Johnson desired the uomina.
ton of Frank 5. Monnettas attorney
general, and that Mclean wanted
Monnett defeated. At any rate, the
defeat Of Monnett was so decisive as
to be a feature OF the convention.
Mr.. Monnett, os attorney general,
had brought suits against the Stand
ard Oil company and other corpora

the antitrust laws. He had sought
third-term nomination from the
Republicans on that issue and asked
that he should be retained In that
Office to continue these prosecutions.
After his defeat for third nomina-
ton in 1899 he supported Bryan in
1900 on the antitrust issue and can
vassed Ohio and other states with
Bryan.
Judge ST alley, in presenting Mon
nett's name, said he was known from
the Golden Gate of San Francisco To
He'll Gate OF New York a. the enemy
OF trusts.
Many bitter things were said OF Mr..
Bryan's leadership in the committee
ON resolutions this morning. 1t was
insisted that his name be not men,
toned and that there be no reference
to either Of he national platforms ON
which he made his campaigns. After
this plan had been agreed upon one
OF the members OF that committee
offered IA minority report reailirming
the Kansas City platform and ex.
pressing confidence In Bryan. This
report received exactly six votes out
OF 80 delegates.
There is no reailirmatiOn OF the
Kansas City or any other platform.
There is no mention vi previous plat
forms, or of Bryan.
Noting that there was not any pOr-
trait oi Bryan among the decorations,
one of the delegates started To carry
u small banner with Bryan's picture
on IL to the platform. The alslcs
were ordered cleared and the picture
did not reach its destination. TWAS
trampled under foot and spoiled dur
ing the demonstration when Col. Kill
bourne was escorted into the hall.
Members oi the committee on reso-
lutions stnted that several hours
were spent dcnouucing the Chicago
ami Kansas City platforms and the
leader who stood on them. There
are various rumors in connection
with the senatOr-hip to succeed For
aker, but the convention endorsed no
one. The nuMcs Of John Mclean and
Tom l.. Johnson are most promi-
nently mentioned in this connection.

with the James boys ana tneir iol-
lowers, raided Gallatin, Mo-, robbed
the bank and killed the cashier, Cap
tain John W. Sheets. They were
pursued by a posse, but got away.
The posse captured the house OF the
brothers and tortured John in an ef-
fort to learn the hiding place OF the
Others. John fled to Dallas, Texas.
where, in 1871 he murdered the sheriff
OF the county, Captain S. W. Nichols,
and went back to Missouri to join
his brothers.
The gang plundered the bank at
Corydon, Iowa, June 8, ISL. They
took $4,000, called a meeting Of the
citizens and harangued them on pol
itics at the points OF their pistols.
Then they rode away yelling and
laughing.
The Youngers and James boys next
robbed the bank at Columbia, Ky,
killing the cashier, but only got $500.
They descended on the Kansas City
fair and robbed the association OF one
days receipts, $4,000, in the presence
Of 900 people.
On May l, 1873, the gang looted the
Savings Association of ST. Geneviye
OF $4,l00.
Their train-robbing exploits began
in July, 1873, when they wrecked "A
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific en-
press In Iowa, killed the engineer and
twelve passengers and stole $4,000.
A series OF stage coach and train rob-
berries followed on the Missouri Paci-
fic, Iron Mountain, Kansas Pacific
and other lines.
John was caught and hanged in
Texas before the Others came to grief
in the Northield, Minn., bank rob-
berry, September {, 1876. In the gang
were Cole, Jim and Bob Younger.
Jesse and Frank James, Bill Cald-
well, Clell Miller and Charley Pitts.
They rode into Northfield, town Of
1000 people, and dined at the restau-
rant Jesse James, Bob Younger and
Pitts then rode up to the First Ma
tional Bank and hitched their horses.
Suddenly the rest OF the gang dashed
through the streets, firing pistol
fusillade and commanding citizens to
get into their houses. The three ran
into the bank and ordered Cashier l.
L. Haywood to throw up his hands.
Never" he cried, springing for
Younger, who was darting into the
big bank vault.
Jesse James slashed the cashiers
throat with bowie knife. The Others
ransacked the safes, and were max
ing of when Haywood revived and
Seized his pistol. Jesse James shot
him dead, The citizens had armed
themselves and were outside TO make
desperate fight. Bill Caldwell and
Cleli Miller were shot dead. Jim and
Bob Younger were badly wounded,
but managed to get away.
The flight, pursuit and capture was
the most remarkable OF its kind in
the west. On September llth they
were surrounded by four hundred
men in II ravine near Shields, Minn.
Jesse and Frank James broke through
the Gordon and escaped on one horse
through Missouri, Kansas, Indian
Territory and Texas to Mexico.
The Younger brothers aud Charley
Pitts also escaped in the night, all
desperately wounded, but were again
surrounded. Pitts was killed, and
Cole and Jim again wounded. Bob
Younger stood over their bodies. His
right arm hung helpless, but he
fought the posse alone. When his
ammunition was gone he gave up
and the three were taken prisoners.
AT their trial they pleaded guilty
and were sentenced to prison for life.
