COLD WAVE BRINGS RUIN.
out the West Are Killed
by Frost.

Chicago, May 2.-The wintry wealth
er of last Thursday night has cost
farmers and gardeners millions of
dollars and given setback to early
vegetables from which the people of
the entire country will suffer. Kill
ing frosts from the lake region as
far south as, Tennessee and Arkan-
sas and light to heavy frosts in
northern Texas have ruined many
crops and retarded nearly all others.
With temperature that went
below the freezing point in Illinois
and Indiana, after the vegetation had
obtained good start, the growers
awoke Friday to find that from 25 to
IS per cent. of their crops had been
badly damaged or killed. Strawber-
ries, asparagus. potatoes and other
products of the soil suffered severely
from the Rocky mountains to.the At
lantic coast.

Vancouver, 3. c., April 30.-With-
out an instant of warning Turtle
mountain, in southwestern Alberta,
was split asunder, probably by an
explosion of fire damp in mine, at
4:10 o'clock Wednesday morning, and
minute later the little mining town
of Frank, situated at it's base, Was
overwhelmed with millions Of tons
of rock.
The inhabitants, aroused in a1a1
from their slumbers by the tremen-
dously loud reverberation of the
heaving mountain, were in many
cases killed by the falling stones.
which crushed in their houses and
killed them in their beds.
Victims Number Ninety-six.
It is believed that the victims OF,
the volcano number 90. OF these, 50
men, women and children are said
to have persisted in their homes.
Twelve miners employed by the
French Canadian Coal company were
killed, while working around the
.company's shaft, and two men who
were working in the shafts were
smothered to death. Fifteen compan-
ions dug their way out through the
broken rock. The mine buildings
were buried hundreds of feet deep,
houses in the village were crushed
like egg shells.
FIssure Three Miles Long.
According to reliable reports from
eye witnesses, the earth opened for

foundations of the majority of the

will have to live in the open or I'M

be procurable.
Cause of Eruption.
The immediate cause of the erup-
ton and its exact nature has. not
yet been ascertained. The officials
of the meteorological and mining de-
partments at Victoria say the ma
ture of the country does not point
to volcanic origin. Other authorities
suggest that the eruption was due
to an explosion of gas, large quaint
ties of which are known to exist in
the district.

Frank is few. miles east of Fernie,
B. c., where few months ago many
miners were killed by an explosion,
and is named for H. L. Frank; of
Montana, who two years ago began
developing the coal fields, driving
tunnel about two miles long into the
side of Turtle mountain. The output
of the coal mine was 500 to 1000
tons day.
