the summary Of personal injuries in

swept over all of Southern and Central
Minnesota and Western Wisconsin,
running crops, wrecking railroads and
seriously damaging farm residences at
the strom center near Owatonna, this

Three were killed and twenty-five in

the wind apparently having actually
lifted three cars from the track and
upset them in the ditch.
Engineer Wallace and Fireman Rob.

mail train went down in a culvert
with their engine near Fairchild, Wis,
and both were killed.
The torrents that poured down the

Near the wreck at Meriden the path
of cyclonic storm was clearly
marked, the worst damage being in a
strip about quarter of a mile in
width. Houses were unroofed and Sc
rious damage was done to crops.

The Orang Outang.

1t Is a most interesting sight to
watch an orang outang make its way
through the jungle. 1t walks slowly
along the larger branches in semi
erect attitude, this being apparently
caused by the length of It's arms and
the shortness Of its legs. 1t invariably
selects those branches which intermin-
gle with those Of a neighboring tree,
on approaching which it stretches out
Its long arms, and, grasping the boughs
opposite, seems first to shake them as
II to test their strength, and then de-
liberately swings itself across to the
next branch, which it walks along as
before. 1t does not jump or spring as
monkeys usually do, and never appears
to hurry itself unless some real danger
presents. Yet in spite of its apparently
slow movements 1t gets along far
quicker than person running through
the forest beneath.

MANY MINERS INJURED.
Strikers and Guards Fight in a West
Virginia Coal Field.

Strikers and Guards Fight in a West
Virginia Coal Field.
Bramhall, w. Va, Sept. 3.-The
situation in the Flat Top coal field is
extremely critical and the skirmish
between the strikers and the guards
at the Pocahontas Collieries COM
pany's mines after the firing of the
mine by the strikers, has greatly en-
ragged the miners from the fact that
number on their side were severely
injured. Adjutant General Baker,
who has been in this section for few
days looking over the territory, has
left for other fields, informing the
operators before he left, however, that
he thought the presence of the militia
unnecessary at that time. The out.
break Of the morning, however, will
probably cause change in his mind
and it is thought here that troops will
be sent to the Flat Top region. The
Pocahontas Galleries company have
the fire in their mines practically ex-
tinguished, but that company has
doubled its force of guards as another
attack is feared any hour. Many
shots have been fired from ambush to-
ward the direction Of nonunion miners
going to and from work in the Flat
Top field. The Elkhorn region is very
quiet, no violence having been report
ed from that section.

LEGISLATURE MUST CHOOSE.

Contest for Governor of Vermont Re-
suits In No Election.
White River Junction. VT, Sept. g.
There is no election by the people for
governor and lieutenant governor as
the result of the state election in
Vermont during the day. At midnight
the returns were not complete, but
they indicated that Percival w.
Clement, high license option candidate,
was running very close to General
John G. Mccullough, Republican of
Bennington. The returns from 200
cities and towns out of 246 give the
following vote for governor:
General John G. Mccullough, Re-
publican, 26,497; Felix w. McGet-
trick, Democratic, 6,112; Percival, w.
Clement, high license, 23,239; Joel G.
Sherbourne, Prohibitionist. 2O52.
The best idea of the change over
in votes in both the Democratic and
Republican parties is shown by the
comparison with the vote of the same
200 cities and towns in 1900, which
gave Stickney, Rep, 1866; Senter,
DEM, 14,439; all others, 1890.

ABSOLUTELY BASELESS.

Stories Of Destitution Among the
Navajo Indians.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Sept. 3.-Major
G. w. Hazelett, Indian agent for the
Navajos at Fort Defiance, is in the
city. He declares with emphasis that
the reports that have been circulated
regarding suffering and famine on the
reservation are absolutely baseless.
He charges that the reports have
been wilfully spread by trading com.
panies for the purpose of securing
government appropr alton and thus
putting money in circulation in the
region. There has been some drouth
on parts of the reservation, the agent
says, but no stock has died. The In
dians have secured all their crops and
are unquestionably prosperous.
