TWENTY DEAD
AND $50 INJURED BY coLLAPsINos
OF SPECTATORS STAND.
HUNDREDS WERE INJURED.
Authorities Saved Panic by Allowing
Game to Proceed After the
Accident

Glasgow, April THE casualty list
OF the Ibrox park disaster, where a
number of persons were killed and in
Jured by the collapsing Of spectators
stand during the international football
match Saturday afternoon between
England and Scotland, has been com
pleted. The list ecllpses all reports
and almost all the reports which were
current The accident resulted in
the death of twenty-one persons and
the injury of $50. Nearly 200 of the
latter were so seriously hurt that they
were taken to infirmaries for opera
ton and treatment. One hundred and
firmaries. A large proportion of the
injured had limbs broken, bodies
crushed and mangled and hands and
faces gashed. Several more deaths
will undoubtedly result from the most
critical cases of fractured skulls.
Yesterday the inflrmaries we're be-
sieged by friends and relatives Of the
victims of the disaster, and heart
rending scenes were witnessed when
the names of those who died dur
ing the day were posted outside the
buildings. The action of the author
tiles at Ibrox park for averting more
general panic by permitting the game
to proceed while they encouraged the
impression of the crowd within the
Enclosure that the accident was not
30 direful, is now generally commend
cd.
The incongruity of the yells of ap-
plause mingling with the means Of
the struggling sufferers will never be
forgotten by those who witnessed the
scene at the rear of the park.

"Details Of pornbaI Farm FIGHT.

Klerksdorp, Traansvaal Colony,
April "details received of the bat
tie at Dornbal farm, March 81. in
which the British had three officers
and twenty-four men killed and six
teen officers and 1871 men wounded,
while the Beers had 1877 men killed
or wounded, show that quite 1000 Bo-
ers opened strong attack from diff
ferent points with three guns and a
pompom. This attack was made at a
moment when the British had left
their luggage in charge of Canadian
contingent and were galloping across
the open plain with the intention of
capturing a Boer convoy, which had
been discovered five miles ahead. The
British retired steadily, and having
dismounted opened return fusillade
on the Beers. When the luggage in
charge of the Canadians was sent for,
the British formed camp and start
ed digging trenches. The Smelling of
the Beers stampeded the mules and
caused confusion, but otherwise 1t was
not very effective. as many shots
failed to explode.
The Canadians front was attacked
in strong numbers, but they CALAMITY
repealed every attempt made by the
Beers to break through. One party of
the Canadians fought until all were
killed or wounded, the last man of this
party, although mortally wounded,
emptied two bandoliers of cartridges
at the enemy and then broke his rifle.
Toward night the fight gradually ceas-
ed and the Beers retired. he British
telegraphed for aid, but the Beers
made no attempts to renew the attack.

Eighteen Hundred Tents viii Be
Erected Within the Race Track
Enclosure.

Austin, Texas, April 5.-Some time
ago the adjutant generals department,
at the request of the Dallas Reunion
association, procured map and plat
of the Dallas fair grounds. showing
that 1900 tents could be placed within
the race track Enclosure Of the fair
grounds.
With the location Of these tents
within the prescribed bounds enough
space was allowed for a wide avenue
down the center of the tented field
with eight side streets between the
rows OF tents.
The management of the reunion has
now decided to place only 800 tents
within the track Enclosure and 1000
on the outside in the fair grounds
proper. This will necessitate another
change in the plans, which will likely
cause confusion among the veterans
when they assemble at Dallas.
The adjutant general yesterday is
sued the following order:
Permission is granted to any and all
organizations of Confederate Veterans
from other states to enter and pass
through the state of Texas, armed, uni
formed and equipped, without ammuni-
ton, for the purpose of attending the
reunion of Confederate Veterans at
Dallas, Texas, and to visit any portion
OF Texas from April 10 to May Is,
1902.
By command of the governor.

I
Tuscumbla, Ala. April 7.--Yester-
day morning at 1880 Sheriff CASA
way went to a negro settlement known
as Knardtown to arrest Win Reynolds
for obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses. The officer was met by the
negro, who opened fire with Win
chester, wounding the sheriff, and he
then Immediately fred upon the dep.
uty, Win Gassaway, who was standing
some 300 yards away, MORALLY wound
ing him.
AS soon as possible every man in
town who could procure gun was in
the neighborhood, but owing to the
location none dared to venture within
the open space. Dynamite was pro-
cured and the house in which the me-
gro was barricaded was fired upon, but
to no effect. At 1 o'clock Captain
Simpson of the Wheeler Rifles arrived
with twelve guns and 1000 cartridges,
which were distributed among twelve
picked men This company was sta
toned around the house and riddled
it, but the negro had taken refuge in
the cellar and returned to fire, kill
ing Hugh Jones and wounding Jim
Finney. Oil was then procured and
after four hours Of hard work the ad-
joining house to that in which the
negro was located was fired by the
Wheeler Rifles, who had arrived on
the scene. The negro took refuge in
shed and opened fire, killing Bob
Wallace and wounding Jesse Davis.
but the posse and militiamen riddled
the negro; and the crowd, numbering
1000, seized the body and threw 1t into
the burning building.
Wallace, who was killed, was closing
in on the negro, who shot him through
the body. His body fell in the burning
debris, but was recovered. Davis, Wal
lace and Falkner were the men who
fred the building, Three houses were
burned in the efforts to reach the ne
gro.
1t was reported last night that the
sheriff and his brother have no chance
of recovery. So deadly was the ne
gro's aim that it was possibly an hour
before the body Of Prout could be re-
covered.
