dry cuts about the upper part Of his
face. AS the man appeared to be Sc
riously injured, search was made for
a doctor. At last DIR. Rinehart was
found and Wesley was taken to his
office.
So lasting was the effect Of his i'm
Editions that not even the fall and
the loss of blood he sustained before
his wounds were dressed caused him to
become sober to an appreciable de-
dree, and he remained in a maudlin
condition throughout the operation Of
having his nose set Alright and his
wounds patched up. When this was
done he was removed to the hospital
to sober up and recover from his in
juries sufficiently to enable him to
finish his business and go home.
Although hurt quite badly, it is not
believed that any lasting or serious re-
suits will follow the mans tumble.

ALLEGED MAIL RoBBER.
Northern Pacific Brakeman Arrested
For Stealing Laurel Pouch.

1t is claimed by the postal authori-
ties, particular Inspector Butler, that
they have the mar who stole a mail
pouch that was swung from the crane
at Laurel about three weeks ago. The
accused is ]. T. Carroll, a Northern
Pacific brakeman. He vas arrested by
a deputy United States marshal at
Livingston last Sunday.
The mail clerk of the train that
missed the pouch reported the loss to
the Helena postofice on his arrival
there. The matter was placed in the
hands of Inspector Butler and he has
been at work on the case ever since.
The inspector claims that he has sui
ficient evidence against Carroll to war
rant his conviction. He says that after
stealing the pouch Carroll cut it open
and took the contents.
Carroll denies the accusation and
protests his innocence. All the same,
he was taken to Helena and will be
held until the United States court can
investigate the matter and determine
his guilt or innocence.

TOPEKA SCOURGED BY AN AWFUL
CALAMITY OF FLAMES AND FLOOD

Topeka, Kas.. May 31.-While the
hundreds of drenched and shivering
denizens of North Topeka were Gagged
in the upper floors of the homes or on
roofs throughout the flooded sections
yesterday. flames broke out and spread
rapidly. Many were burned before
they could get out, while Others were
driven to suicide by drowning when
threatened with cremation. The loss
of life is at least 200. Blazing buildings
fioated against others. setting them on
fire, and when the tale of horror
stopped coming over the wires this
morning indications were that all
buildings not destroyed by the flood
would be eaten by flames.
North Topeka has 10000 inhabitants
and contained all large mills and fac
tories in the city, hence the loss will
run into millions.
The loss of life has already been ap-
palling and promises to grow. Con-
servative estimates place the deaths
by drowning and fire at $50. with 300
to 400 more in imminent peril.
Topeka. Kan, May 30.-People who
did not leave North Topeka last night
when they had chance are now in the
greatest danger of losing their lives.

over 500 people are beyond reach OF
rescuers. The Kansas river is rising
at the rate of three inches an hour
Thisty are known to be dead. and the
list will be much larger. Hundreds

others are burning to death.
If any portion of North Topeka es-
capes destruction by the flood. it seems
tonight as though fire would finish the
work. The large lumber yard of JON
athan Thomas caught fire this after
noon. and whole blocks of houses are
burned. Burning houses are floating
through the streets and setting fire to
others.
There is no possible way of quench-
ing the flames. Aside from the fact
that the loss of life will be appalling.
the property loss will be $3,000.000 or
more. Nobody can tell just what has
been destroyed. The water extends
around Shorey and other suburbs.
Two hundred houses have burned
and the whole of North Topeka will go.
