Three Slain in
a Feud Battle
Rival kentucky Clans Engage
in War OF determination

May King, Ky: A second engage
ment between the Roberts-Gardner
feud factions at Gardeners school
house, east of here, took place Thurs
day night, in which 100 shots were
fired. The Wells faction, six in num-
Der, has Joined the Roberts forces,
and have sworn that they will die by
the Roberts.
Jake Wells, aged Sc years, the lead
er on the Roberts side, was killed in
the engagement, while Frank Gardner,
Jr., was slain on the Gardner side.
Thomas Roberts, aged 81, was mortal
ly wounded, and Jasper Wells re-
ceived a serious flesh wound. Thos.
Roberts cannot survive.
The battle occurred on the same
spot where the forces met last and
fought a desperate battle, in which
two of the Roberts and one of the
Gardeners were killed.
In the twelve months duration of
the Roberts-GaTdner feud some two
dozen have met death, and before the
feud closes every member of each fac.
tion will probably suffer. Every eff
fort at a peace agreement has proven
futile.

ternoon over the Great Northern Rail-
road from Helena. He was met at the
station by Mayor Mullins, escorted by
a company of militia, platoon of po-

guests included Senator Clark and 9TH

From the banquet table the Presi-

200 Estimated Dead
in Flood at Topeka
Property Loss in the Stricken District Along Kansas
River Will Mount High Into the Millions

Topeka, Kan: There is ground for
hope that the worst has passed. So
itreacherous has the Kansas River
proven itself Sunday in the rising of
the water, Sunday night so slowly as
TO be imperceptibIe, the flve-mile
stream was setting back into its right
ful channel Up and down the official
gauge has fiuttered all day. Sunday
night, however, City Engineer Mecca
BILE issued bulletin, giving out the
cheering intelligence that the waters
had subsidized to the extent Of exactly
2 10 inches. 1t may be a few hours
before another drop may be noticed.
With 175 or 200 lives lost, millions
of dollars of property destroyed, hun
dreds of pistol shots as signals of dis
tress, blended with the agonizing cries
of unwilling inhabitants of tree tops
and roofs Of houses and the waters
creeping upward and then slowly sub
siding, and alternately changing hope
to despair, the Capital City has pass
ed the memorable Sabbath day Of its
existence. To all this discomforting
condition Of affairs was added the pres
ence Of a cold, dismal rain.
The ardor of the rescue work Of the
heroic rescuers was not abated in the
least by the conditions which confront
ed them. For long, dreary hours, knee
deep in water, and sometimes in water
up to their necks, they worked with
might and main. They can proudly
point to 300 or more rescued ones,
who otherwise might have been swept
away in the current.
Summary Of the Flood Condition.
Briefly stated, the present condition
of the food is this: One hundred and
Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1903-06-04

seventy to 200 people drowned; eight
thousand people without homes; four
million dollars worth of property de-
stroyed; identified dead, 8; floating
bodies seen, 20; people missing, 200;
houses burned, result Of fire in lumber
from Stacking lime, probably 200;
banks collapsed, Q; wholesale grocery
stores flooded, 2; big business blocks
almost ready to crumble, so; whole
sale commission houses deserted, 6;
Rock Island trains containing $50 pas
sengers held here by high water; city
waterworks plant useless.
The known drowned: Karl Rupp,
Orville Rupp, two Rupp girls, G. H.
CARROTS 4-yesr-old son. 20 unidentified
bodies.
Leading men have made a careful
examination Of the flood and all its
conditions, and as result of their in
.vestigation they give $50 as the proba-
bic number of lives lost. A more con-
sentative estimate places the number
of dead at 175.
The higher number is as apt to be
correct as the lower. The number OF
dead is merely matter of estimate.
This estimated number Of dead does
not include the large number classed
as missing, who can not otherwise be
accounted for. Neither does it include
the number of people who are sup
posed to have lost their lives in the
fire. In the latter class there is abso-
lutely no means of arriving at even an
approximate number of victims. The
water is so high and the current so
strong that all that can be done now is
to rescue those in the buildings sur
rounded by water.

Night Attack on
Jail at Jackson
a Supposed Attempt to Rescue
Jott and White

Jackson, KY: There was battle
Wednesday night between members of
the militia stationed here and party
Of mountaineers who came down with
the evident purpose of rescuing Curtis
Jett and Tom White, who are held in
jail here on the charge Of murder for
the killing Of ]. B. Marcum.
In the conflict which was quite spir-
tied for a time, about 100 shots were
fired. After the mountaineers had
been repulsed there was fusillade
which continued nearly all night, caus.
ing the greatest excitement in town.
Thursday night larger guard was
placed about the Jail, and Hotchklss
and Calling guns put in position, with
the men in charge under orders to fire
upon any menacing body refusing to
halt.
The Hargis side is making every eff
fort to prevent justice from being
done and seems to make no secret Of
1t. Every one is terrorized.
Colonel Williams, commanding the
militia, went to Lexington Thursday
to report the situation by telephone to
Governor Beckham, there being leak
in every avenue of communication
from Jackson.
1t is pretty well established that the
desire of the men who sought to at
tack the Jail was to rescue Jett and
White and carry them into the noun
tains, not so much for their own safe
ty as from fear that they will tell all
they know when they come up for
trial.
