Vancouver. B. c.. April 3o-Over-
terday morning. shortly after o'clock,
and with probably l12 of its inhabitants
killed almost instantly. the little mining
town OF Frank, in southwestern Alberta,
was threatened with complete destruction
by food last night. Old Mans river,
which flows through the centre OF the
town, is damned up by the fallen rock
TO the height OF nearly 100 feet, and the
entire valley above the town IL flooded
for miles. A big body OF water Is press
ing with force upon the DAM the only
protection the town now has, unless the
river shall find another channel. Should
the imprompu dam break. the entire
village would be swept away.
A dispatch from Frank says: "A tre-
mendously loud reverberation shook the
whole valley of the old Mans river yes

half of the inhabitants of this town

ing danger From the top OF Turtle

xUARDsMEN ARE DISAPPOINTED.
Gen. Bates Says One Regiment From
Kansas Will Be Invited.


1 There was considerable disappointment
among national guardsmen here yester-
day when they rec lived copies of the
letter of General Bates to Adjutant Cen
eral S. II. Kelsey regarding the Fort
Riley encampment. All Of the guards
expected to attend the encampment and
the adjutant general wrote the war de-
partment asking for the time and place
of the maneuvers. The letter was re-
ferred to General Bates, commanding
the department of the Missouri, at Oma-
Ia, who answered that the time had not
been definitely settled and the letter
continued as follows:
1T is intended to extend to your state
an invitation TO have one full regiment
attend these maneuvers, this regiment to
be of the strength authorized for the
regular regiments of infantry. as follows:
u companies, 60 enlisted men each. total
$50; regimental and battalion non-com-
missioned staff. S: regimental band, Is;
total number enlisted men, Sl6.
In the event YOU select regiment 70
attend which is not up to this strength,
it is suggested that men from other or
CARNATIONS be attached so as to bring
the designated regiment UP to the re
quired strength"

batteries Of artillery. and two bands, a

DIGGING FOR MONEY
Varnouf Thought to Have
Buried $500 Before Death.
WIFE GIVES REASONS
Only $1,000 of $1,000 Can
Be Accounted For.

When G. P. Warnouf, the old soldier
who was shot and instantly killed Satur-
day evening by DR. Doyle, died it was
supposed that he was poor man, but
since then it has developed that he pos
sessed nearly 5000 One thousand dol
lars of this amount can be accounted for
as a certificate of deposit has been found
showing that he had at the time of his
death that amount deposited in the Kan
sas National bank However, the re
manning $500 cannot be found and the
wife and friends Of the dead man are so
confident that he buried it on his prop
erty that they are digging up the place
and making a diligent search of the
pFemises.
There are good reasons for supposing
THAT varnouf had $1.SOO when he died,
;and also for supposing that he buried it
ION his property. At the time of his first
,ftrouble with Doyle over a month ago
he was arraigned in the city court and
placed under bond of $3.50. He stated
at the time that he had 81, 900 on deposit
in the Kansas National bank and asked
IL CeTIlucaIe oil deposit would be dc-
cepted on the bond. The court stated
that it would, and while he was gone af-
ter the certificate parties telephoned the
bank to discover whether or not he was
telling the truth, and found that he was.
However, he returned without it, stat
ing that he could not find it, but that he
thought he could dig up $500 besides the
certificate. He returned to his home and
it is said went to the cellar and returned
TO the court room with $500. Thus it is
known that he had at least 81 500. Both
the wife of the dead man and persons
who knew him best state that he was a
very peculiar man and performed peculiar
acts. Mrs. Varnouf states that he did
10 her knowledge bury money at different
times, but he kept the location a secret
always. When Mrs. Varnouf was ad-
5uged insane about a year ago one Of her
main complaints was that Varnouf want
ed to send her to the asylum to get rid
of her In order to dig up the money he
had buried in the cellar and to make use
of it alone. The cellar has been thor
ouglaly searched and some digging has
been done in the yard, but so far with
out results. However. the searchers are
unfshaken in their theory that there is
money buried on the premises.

MANY OTHER EXHIBITORS

Show a Big One.

Nj. c. X Douglas, western represent

Min lists for the fair and they will be

He has received many requests for the
premium lists from breeders in Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and Oklahoma,
and a number of breeders have already
completed arrangements for bringing a
