SWALLOWED UP BY THE SEA.
Many Small Islands Have Disappeared
Since PeIee's Eruption.

Several small islands near Martinique
have been entirely swallowed up by the
sea since the great eruption of Mount
Pelee on May s. Martinique is daily
shaken by earthquake rumblings. There
was landslide near LIE Preeheur which
engulfed plantations and several houses.
Scientists who have reached the island
from Trinidad predict a more serious
volcanic eruption within a short time.
The greatest uneasiness prevails.
The damage done to st. Vincent by the
present volcanic eruptions is now known
to be considerably greater than was at
6rst estimated. The present uneasiness
Of the inhabitants of the island is in
creased by the continuous agitation Of the
goncanic craters.

Alone, unrivalled, unapproached among
the disasters which have visited the
western hemisphere stands the cataclysm
of steam and fire which turned the beau
ttful city of st. Pierre, on the island
Of Martinique, into a crematory and
grave. In a twinkling the busy, pros
porous, sun-kissed city of the Towering
tropics became a scene of indescribable
horror, of most awful destruction, of

Volcano Rains Baptism of Death on
Island ST. Vincent.

Martinique is not the only island in the
Windward group that has suffered. The
little island of st. Vincent, further south
has been devastated by another volcanic
eruption and were it not for the over
towering tragedy at St. Pierre the St.
Vincent calamity would command more
attention.
St. Vincent has passed through veri-

DUMB ANIMALS KNEW.

These Seemed Wiser than Man, and
Fled Before the Impending Storm.
It is said that the dumb animals were
wiser than man. Mount Pelee long ago
gave warning Of the storm of fire which
It was storing up to hurl upon the island.
Residents of St. Pierre saw and heard
the warnings, and they refused to heed
them. They remained, and the danger

Wis. The conduct OF these people
was that Of good citizens and Mrs.
"Budd" seemed to be modest and
ladylike.
The elopers first went to Chicago
and finding the authorities on their
track fled to Brookings where they
might have remained for an indefinite
period had Mrs. Nichols not gone back
to Wisconsin In order to get possession
OF share OF her fathers estate. This
step gave the sheriff another clsw
which he followed and did some very
fine detective work In locating the
parties. Mrs. Nichols, whose husband
is drayman at Lancaster and who
has a nice family of children, was
caught at Mitchell. Starr is widower.

been cared for by his relatives. The
story or their elopHent would make

The national custom of annually

curing year sees the ranks Of the G.

bended forms that now tramp In rev.

parted comrades will soon be honored
no more by the veterans OF '64. A
few more years and the memory Of
these heroes will be all that is left to
worship. The living will have passed
away.
These and kindred thoughts passed
through the mind OF the writer as he
witnessed the decoration day parade
last Friday and noted how few Of the
old veterans there were in line in COM
parison with former years.
The parade was not lacking in num-
bers however 1t was the largest pro-
cession in several years and made a
very imposing appearance.
The order OF parade was follows:

Floats with School Children.

conducted at the college chapel where

A FALLING STARR.
Ran Away With Another Mans Wife
Caught at Huron.

Dan Starr, who has been working i
Wards livery stable the past six weeks
was apprehended charged with adult
cry with Mrs. Nichols, of Lancaster,
Wis. The couple came here about
six weeks ago from Brookings. A
sheriff from that state dropped In up
on Starr, who took the matter very
coolly saying that he was expecting an
arrest and is now in jail and will be
taken back to Wisconsin. The woman
in the case left Monday morning for
Mitchell and the authorities expect to
find her there. Both the eloping par
ties left large families at Lancaster.
Huron Herald Democrat.
The couple came here last winter
and introduced themselves as Mr.. and
Mrs. Budd Of Lancaster, Wis. The
writer knowing prominent family
bearing the name asked "Budd" what

i In many newspapers the past week or so there has appeared a statement the Indiana-Sonora com pany has sold its valuable prop critics in the Cananeas to Phelps,
 Dodge X Co.,, (the Copper Queen company. Mir. L. Lindsay, who was the original vendor of the properties to the Indiana-Sonora company, retaining an interest therein, has informed THE OASIS that there must be some misteke in the published statement. MT.
 Lindsay states that owing to their failure to comply with the provi- sions of their contract with him,
 the Indiana-Sonora company had
 forfeited it's holdings, and conse- quently had nothing to sell to Phelps, Dodge & Co. So it seems there is another big mining lawsuit ahead.
 At one o'clock last Saturday morning the north bound train on the Sonora Railway struck and killed man who was seated at the end of bridge some three or four hundred yards from Santa Ana station. The engineer applied the air brake and came to a stop, but the man was struck before the mo- memtum of the train could be overcome. The deceased, whose name was Garcia, was torn to shreds. The accident was reported to the local judge who held the train until five o'clock in the morn ing and then permitted it to pro- ceed only upon the personal guar anty of Mir. Gonzalez, the official interpreter of the railway, who agreed that the train men should be delivered to the federal district court at Nogales.
 From MT. J. B. Storman, of Mag dalena, who was in Nogales Tues day, THE OASIS learned that he has enlisted heavy capital in two min- ing enterprises, one an extensive copper property in the Guaraguave mountains, eleven miles eastward from Llano station; the other fine gold proposition fifteen miles west from the same place, in the Picacho mountains. MT. Storman will have management of both enterprises, and work will be conducted upon an extensive scale at both places. A railway connecting the two camps, and crossing the Sonora railway at Llano, is a part of the plan of operations. Mir. Storman has also enlisted capital in the group of gold properties at Llano, which he owns.
