Mrs. Hodge was first seen with Will

evidently walked all the way from Og
den TO Ryans camp. She stayed with
Ryan on the night Of July and left his

Pittsburg looked weak while here, but

FIRST FIGURES STAND.
Early Estimate on Gainesville
Catastrophe About Right.

Gainesville, Ga, June 3.-The 5000 in
hibitants of this city have just begun
to realize the extent Of the appalling
disaster of Monday It now seems GER
tain the death list viii not be much
short of 100; perhaps somewhat more
than hundred considering the number
of dangerously wounded whose chances
for recovery can not now be calculated.
But through all the gloom and desoia-
ton that surrounds the town like a pail
Of darkness there radiates a beam Of
hope and encouragement-h that the
death list may not be so numerous as
reported; and encourag cement to those
who are bravely and devotedly assisting
in the work of relief.
Figuring from all available sources
and giving prominence to those reports
which are believed to be trustworthy,
the following Is a summary Of the eff
feet of the tornado in Gainesville AMI
its environs:
Killed 100; injured $50. of which pro-
baby 20 viii die 500 homeless. their
residences having been wiped out of
existence. property loss of about half
million dollars; none of which was COW

A concise and accurate statement Of
the casualties cannot be rendered for

THE AMERICAN DERBY.
Indications Are That East Has Best
Chance at Chicago.

Chicago. June 3.-With the American
Derby only three weeks away and with
quantities there are indications that the
east has more than an even chance to win
the blue ribbon event at Washington park
A comparison of the possible field from
the two sections Of the country leaves only
two western colts to battle with the dual
fly which the east appears to possess. The
two are Dick Wells, owned by J. 3. Res

have shown frequently on Chicago tracks
this spring. the fact remains that at pres
ent they are rated as horses of only mod
crate quality Within the week there das
been developed a strong feeling that II
the Derby Is to be saved to the west l91ek
Wcles OF Savable must turn the trick.
Naturally. all estimates of Derby can
didates must be qualified. The event has
been so full of surprises that It IS never
safe to put a candidate in the also-ran
class. The victories of Sidney Lucas,
Robert VaddeH and Wyeth have taught
even the turf experts that many things
about Derby possibilities are withheld py
shrewd owners. who are not only hard ar
ter the $4,000 prize. but are also anxious
to get a price on their horses.
Nevertheless, if the Derby candidate now
racing or working on New York tracks
have shown the quality reported, this may
be the long looked for eastern year. The
two leading western defenders have vet TO
make display OF form that VIII cause the
general public to bank heavily on their
chances.
Savable. who Is now the favorite for the
race, has been made so by the weight of
money. He has not been seen with the
colors up in Chicago. His one race at
Nashville in April was made when he was
high in flesh. and Trainer Enoch Wishard
has been going slowly with him ever since
Just now Savable is at a distinct disad-
vantage. The Hawthorne track where
he is stabbed. is in frightful condition and
mile in 200 would be good work. in
view Of the fact that mile races were run
in the carly part of the week in no bet
ter than 80 Necessarily Savable's prep
aration for the Derby has been retarded
Although Wishard is "A genius in prepar-
ins- horses for great events it is almost
a safe prediction that Savablc win be at
future books when the field goes to the
post.
The eyes of the west are Just now on
Dick Welles. When he gave Savable
humiiiating defeat in the Hyde Park
Stakes last year at Washington park Chi
caEoaus began 10 think of him in eonaec-
ton with the Derby. His owner. j. B.
Respass. has been conserving him. ana
just now there is ample reason 10 ask why
he is second choice 70 Savable in the fu-
ture betting. The only answer is that saw
able has heavier hackers
Dick WeIles showed at Latonia last
Tuesday that he has carried the great
speed he showed as a 2Sear-old over into
his 3-year-old form The performance was
more eagerly scanned in Chicago than by
the people who saw the race.
