DAMAGE BY A wATERspoUT.


Omaha, Neb., May 21.-A water
spout broke in the valley Of the Pap
bio river, 20 miles west Of this city.
at seven o'clock yesterday evening
and in q few minutes the little
stream was a raging torrent from
half to three-quarters Of mile wide.
Great damage was done to the grow
ing crops, hundreds Of acres OF corn,
wheat and oats being washed out OF
the ground. The damage to the crops
in the valley is estimated at 100000.
At Portal, Is miles west OF this city,
the Union Pacific, Burlington and
Missouri Pacific tracks run close to-
Rether. All three of the roads have
low bridges over the Pappio. When
the flood struck these bridges, the
approaches held back the food, and
In few minutes the water had
backed up and raised until 1t was
running over the grades. The Mis-
souri, Pacific had 100 feet of track
washed away. The debris and water
poured down on to the Burlington
track and swept 500 feet of the grade.
Reaching the Union Pacific track, the
water swept over it and carried away
about 100 feet of the embankwent.
into the city from
the west is practically cut off, the
three roads sending their trains in
over other lines.
Plattsmuoth, farther down the
Pappio, was heavier sufferer. There
the food entered the town through
O deep ravine and swept down the
main street, flooding Easements and
through stores. The dam
age here will approximate $4,000.

MAcH1N1sTs STRIKE.
sbouId Strike Prove - Far Reaching -

Louis May Be Involved.

ST. Louis, May Blower 1900 ma
chinists and members of kindred
unions, including metal poiishers,
brass workers and laborers, employed
in about ITS shops in st. Louis, all
members of the st. Louis Metal
Trades association, which is allied to
the international Association OF Ma
chinists, went on strike yesterday.
The machinists demand an increase
of ten per cent. in wages, while the
brass workers ask for Is 2-3 per cent.
increase. Negotiations have been In
progress for six weeks between the
employers and the unions. A six per
cent. increase was offered to the
unions, but this was refused and the
demand for ten per cent. maintained.
Efforts to arbitrate the disagreement
failed and the strike yesterday re-
suited.
Should the strike prove as far
reaching and as effective as union
officials assert it will, and is carried
on for any considerable length of
time, every mechanical trade in St.
Louis may become involved.

A DEADLY DUEL.
rhRoe Participants In Quarrel at SAM
deHsOn, Tex, Bite the Dust-Only
Meager Details Received.

FL Paso, Tex, May 21.-News
reaches here of duel at Sanderson,
Tex, In the desert, 300 miles east Of
FL Paso, which resulted in the killing
of H. S. Biggs, magistrate and school
teacher; Ed Bell, citizen, and r. G.
Mcmahon, deputy sheriff. Only mea-
ger details have reached here. AS
far rs learned the quarrel arose be-
tween Ed Bell and II. S. Biggs over
a letter received through the post of
Ace. Bell had been working for Nc
Mahon. Riggs is very quiet man
and was not known to have had any
previous trouble. He had been a
school Teacher In Sanderson for eight
or nine years. The story goes that
when Biggs and Bell had a row Nc
Mahon tried to separate them. Biggs
conducted a very nervy fght against
the two men as Mcmahon, 1t seems,
turned on him during the fight. He
shot Bell through the head, killing
him and was in turn shot through
the body by Mcmahon. While lying
on the floor Of the post Office he took
deadly aim at Mcmahon and fired one
shot, fatally wounding the deputy
sheriff, who died few hours later.

BAD WEATHER In MONTANA.
Ten Feet Of Snow ct Coutts and the Ther'
mometer Four TO Six Degrees
Below Zero.

Butte, Mont, May 21.-Ten feet OF
snow was reported from Coutts,
Mont, near the boundary, yesterday
and the thermometer was ranging
from four to six degrees below zero.
Traffic ON the Great Northern is seri-
ously interfered with by the drift
ing snow and the trains are being
operated only under the greatest
difficulty.
Conservative estimates last night
place the loss of stock at about So
100000 and the number OF head OF
stock lost is figured at about 10000.
This loss will be swelled by the ruin
of the fruit crop throughout north
ern Montana, which, it is understood,
is a total failure. The storm was
followed by frost Of the most damag-
ing kind and all garden stuffs have
felt its effects.
The Missouri river is rising rapidly
and the ranchers are leaving the
lowlands in anticipation of disastrous
foods.
No trace can be found OF the three
sheep herders first reported miss.
ing and it is thought their bodies lie
deep beneath the snow.
