Northern Minnesota and North Dakota
Enjoyed Them Last Night.
GRAND FORKS, N. D.-After the most
protracted hot spell of the summer, dur
ing two nights of which, the humidity was
SO great that people passed sleepless
nights, the spell was broken by the heav-
lest downpour of rain during last night,
and the temperature dropped thirty de-
grees in,-tWo hours. The rain will be of
vast benefit to the crops which were suf-
fering seriously since the heated spell
started Wednesday. There was heavy
rainfall at Grafton, Mimic and other
points in the northern part of the state
and over a large territory in northern
Minnesota as we'll. The cold wave that
followed the rain, which was accompanied
by the worst electrical storm of the sum-
mer, gave rise to grave fears of a bad
hailstorm but up to this time no reports
of hail have been received. A few scat
tered small stones fell here, but not
enough to do any damage of any account.

SPEARFISH, S. D.-There has never
been time since the settlement of the
Spearfish and Redwater valleys when crop
conditions were SO favorable. Barley is
ready for harvesting and wheat will be
ready in a few more days. Farmers are
beginning to cut and stack their second
alfalfa crop. r.. ~. =
The yield promises to be enormous, even
on the dry upland farms. The abundant
rains have produced a luxuriance never
known in western South Dakota. before.
All vegetation is far enough along that a
m ammoth crop is assured, even should
there be no more rains. The. only appre-
hension is Of hail.
Some of the farmers have had difficult
ty in getting one cutting of alfalfa out OF
the way of the succeeding one. There are
several farms where the first cutting is
standing in shocks and the second growth
is as high as the shock. Farm hands are
in demand and nearly all of the valley
ranchmen are working short-handed.

prisoner gave the sheriff the slip and left
for parts unknown. A reward has been
offered for his arrest.

c. O. Roberds, well known in this city, died in Trinidad, Col, on Satur~ day morning at 9:30 o'clock. He was down town the day before and was taken i'll just before supper time while doing chores around his house. dying the next morning of apoplexy. The Chronicle News of Trinidad speaks as follows of the dead man:
 Tn the death of MT. ROberds, the community lcses one of her most hon. ored pioneers He came here from Texas in 1874: and since then has beep identified with the best interests Of the county, having been engaged ac' tiveiy in the cattle business and ex- tensively engaged in mining enter prises.
 He was born in North Carolina in 1882. When very young he went to Georgia, where he was married in lS5S- The next year he came west and set tied in Texas, where he resided until he came to this state.
 None could tell more of the first days of the west. Twice MT. Roberds had all taken by the Indians and for a long time he was active in defending the settlements from Indian deprcda-

CURFEW. NEW STYLE.

The new curfew system put in force in Coney Island by a police captain act ing under orders from headquarters shows that very peculiar views are held as to the power of official persons to interfere with the liberties of the in dividual. It is one thing for the police 10 tell the saloonkeepers that they must shut up tight as a drum at 1 o'clock. That is the law. But it is quite a diff ferent matter to announce that anybody not a resident found at Coney Island after 2:30 o'clock a. m. shall be liable to arrest as a disorderly or suspicious person. There is something Oriental about such a regulation. Indeed, it suggests the Ara bian Nights or a

A RIVER HORROR.
Witnessed But Not Participated in By
 Phoenix Girl.

Miss Anna l.. Evans of this city left for the east a few days ago on a visit and her friends were somewhat worried lest her experiences in the Missouri river floods might prove serious, as she was in that part of the country when affairs were becoming exciting. She has been heard from, however, and had no startling adventures except that she witnessed from the deck of ferry boat half mile away the laundering of an excursion boat at Hannibal on which were the members of a big Sunday school picnic, several of whom were drowned. From the description of the catastrophe in the Hannibal Courier Post the following is taken:
 The steamer Flying Eagle and barge with the excursion of Class No. Il of the Sunday school of Park Methodist church, struck the Hannibal bridge on her way up stream about 10:30 o'clock this morning, and went down. Several; are known to have been drowned. The accident was one of the worst catas- trophies in Hannibal in recent years.
 There were about 160 people on the boat at the time, and most of them were women and children. The boat with it's human cargo left the wharf shortly after 10 o'clock and steamed up the river in a graceful manner. No difficulty was encountered until the bridge was reached. The crew knew that the current in the vicinity of the piers was unusually swift, hut had no idea but that the boat would get through in safety.
 The pilot chose the east side of the draw and was steadily guiding the craft until she was almost through. Then, without warning, the turbulent waters swung the rear of the boat around and carried it on to the draw rest of the bridge.
 Jn an attempt to back the boat off the bridge the wheel was shattered and the craft with the large number of people aboard was at the mercy of the swirling torrents of rushing waters midstream in the mighty Mis- sissippi river. Following the disabling of the boat the barge swung around to the side and also crashed into tha bridge.
 There was q rush among the excur~ sionists to escape. The men in charge of the bridge, painters who were painting the structure and a large number of people who were on it to view the high water situation immedi- ately started heroicly at work to save the struggling ones. The boat and barge were only alongside the bridge but short time. but over one hundred people were gotten off.
 The boat soon began sinking and floating down the river in the strong current went down in at least forty feet of water only few hundred feet below the bridge. The barge reeled over to one side but never went clear down. The hull was visible as it passed Hannibal. Only the flags and pilot house of the boat could be seen as it passed down by the city.
 The ferry beat, sevaraI launches, one of the steamers of the Hannibal Mat teTial and Supply company and d large number of people started out in the river to render aid to the helpless ones. The ferry picked up ten or twelve peo- pie. At least twenty-five were taken from the barge and others with life preservers on were taken from the water in various skiffs and launches.

on the tragic death of her older son.
Many think that one or two others
are implicated in the affair. and 1t Is
hoped to bring all the guilty parties to
justice. Wells friends admit that
there is a strong circumstantial case
against him but claim that a full
knowledge of the facts if they a be

his having deliberately planned and
