A Far Reaching Decision.

Muslxogee, l. T., Aug. 1O.-Hon. c.
". Raymond, United States judge for
tine western division of Indian Terri
tory, granted n temporary restraining
order in an injunction suit brought by
a Creek Indian, which is con sidered
one of the most important decisions
ever handed down by federal judge
in the territory, and it will have far
reaching effect. 1t is TO the effect that
arbitrary rules made by the interior
department at Washington and carried
out by the Dawes commission and the
Indian agent will not stand when an
Indians right to title and possession of
allotment is in question. Such rules
are also in contradiction of decision
rendered by Assistant United States
Attorney General Vandeventcr at
Washington, who held that tine deliv-
cry of patent by the Creek Indian
chief to an allottce was absolute proof
of his right of possession and legal
title to his allotment

HAIL STONES TWO FEET DEEP.
Immense Damage Done to Crops And
Buildings Sheep Killed.

Denver, Aug. s.-Details of the storm
which prevailed along the eastern slope
of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado
and southern Wyoming, show it to
have been much more severe than at
first reported. In some sections the
hail fall was unprecedented. In the
neighborhood of Greeley and Eaton, in
the northern part of Colorado, chunks
of ice, measuring in some instances
ten inches in length, fell, and the dam
age wrought was immense. Sheep
were struck dead in the corrals, and
cattle and horses were severely in
jured. Farm houses and barns were
wrecked and crops utterly wiped out
of existence. Near Greeley a man
named johnson was, severely bruised
and rendered unconscious by the hal!
The damage cannot be estimated in
that section. but will reach thousands
of dollars. Near Lafayette, Colo, there
were two storms, the second following
the first within fifteen minutes, and
with greater severity. The streets of
the town were flooded, cellars par
tally filled with water and trees and
shrubbcry stripped of foliage. Many
window pancs were broken. The crops
in the country surrounding were de-
stroyed. Hail lay on the ground in
many places to depth of two feet.
The damage in and around Lafayette
is estimated at $500, 600. In southern
Colorado the rainfall was very heavy,
approaching the proportions of a
cloudburst in several places. Rail
road traffic was stopped on the Rio
Grapde for some time by washouts.

He Now Reigns Over The Catholic
World as Plus X. His Election
Was Unanimous.
NEW POPE is 6s YEARS OLD.
He Is Held To Be a Man or Piety, Tact

elected Giuseppe Sarto, patriarch of
Venice, as pope to succeed Leo XIII,
and Sarto now rcigns at the Vatican
