CITIZENS FLEE TO HILLS

TUCSON. Ariz., July 24.-Many lives
are believed TO have been lost in fierce
tornado that swept Tombstone and Fair
banks Wednesday night. The wires are
all down and reports from the storm
swept section are meager. but those so
far received tell of widespread destruc-
tion of property.
First reports reached here last night,
when linemen succeeded in stringing a
wire to Benson. A terrific gale, accom-
panied by cloudburst. swept everything
before it, tearing up great cottonwood
trees in the valley. unroohng houses and
hurting debris broadcast. Then came
water roaring down the canyons and
when the elements finally subsided the
town OF Fairbanks was under six feet
of water in many places and the inhabi-
tants has fed TO hillsides for safety. AT
Tombstone, the water came down in
sheets and in many places residents were
compelled to fee to higher ground.
In the valley below and above Fair
banks. ranch houses were washed away
and as the ranchers have not been heard
from, 1t is thought that they and their
families must have been drowned

GREENE AND GAYNOR MAY
SEEK SAFETY ELSEWHERE
Department of Justice Discounts Re-
port of Intention to Surrender.

The report that Greene and Gaynor
will give themselves up to the Ameri-
can authorities has not been confirmed
at the Department of Justice.
The department does not put much
faith in the alleged intention of Greene
and Gaynor to surrender. 1t is rather
the opinion of the Government officials
that the men will endeavor to fly TO
some other country where there is no
extradition treaty with the United
States.
Solicitor General Hoyt IS out OF the
city for few days. No mail bearing
on the Greene and Gaynor case was
received from London today.
1t is said, however, that it is q fore
gone conclusion Greene and Gaynor viii
lose their case. 1t is a q&estion therefore
whether they wish to bear the expense
OF defending their case before privy
council in London.
Under the regular procedure the case
Will be brought up before the judicial
committee of the privy council II the
argument OF the appeal is necessary. 1t
will be made by Donald Macmaster,
kings counsel who has managed the
case SO far for the department.
The rules of the privy council demand
that only recognized counsel of the
Kingdom shall appear in cases before
the council. ar &acmaster Will, there
fore be assigned 10 argue the case.
