ABSURD WAR A
England is Greatly Wrought ~
Over False Reports.

London has passed through a day of
sensational rumors, fol which there
seems to have been no bosis in fact. The
Russian ambassador wal received in au-
dience by King Edward, who expressed
his satisfaction with the course events
have taken and confidence that the events
will be satisfactorily settled.
In spite of these conditions, Great Brit
ain Tuesday experienced a war panic
that only can be compsred to the panic
created on Sunday, OFT. %, when the
news of the sinking of the trawlers in the
North Sea was received. Not for years
have so many alarmist reports and fam
ing extras flooded Loidon. The most
extraordinary feature of this scare,
which was serious enough while it lasted,
is that there was not one single circum-
stance to justify it.
The excitement STATED early in the
day when the newspapers announced the
departure Of the Russian squadron from
Vigo. The public was not III possession
Of the information cabled by the Asso-
ciated Press to the United States that
only the officers concerned in the firing
OH the British trawleg would be detach-
ed, and jumped at the conclusion that
Russia had broken faith by not delaying
the vessels involved in the affair.
On top of this cane wild reports Of
tremendous activity at Gibraltar. Hour
by hour the news from Gibraltar became
more serious. until at last the climax was
reached with the announcement that the
British fleet had cleared for action. Some
even said that the feet had sailed to
meet Rojestvensky's squadron. In huge
type the papers made parallel statements:
The Russian feet has sailed" and "The
British feet has cleared for action"
No newspaper and no person seemed
to explain these events. The news he
came more and more alarmist, and finally
the officers were overrun by reporters,
some of whom brought the rumor that
Admiral Beresford had already sunk the
remnant of Admiral Ro~jestvensky's feet.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
pENSED FORM.
May Seek Repeal of
Oil and South Dakota Statate Its
ConstitutionaIity Tested-Case Is
Still Pending in Federal Court.

The impression appears to be groWlhs
throughout the state that the Standar
Oil Company will make an effort during
tho session of the legislature which meets
next January to have the state OIL lnspec-
ton law repealed.
This law was enacted by the legislature
q year ago last winter and had scarcely
gone INTO effect when it was attacked III
the courts by the Standard Oil Com
many. In order to test the constitution
atty of the law the Standard oll ON
pany shipped into the state a quahtl'y
of oil which was alleged to have Deeh ol
an inferior grade.
The shipment was inspected ana re-
jected by Emil Branch, the state oil III
spector. and the Standard Oh Company
promptly instituted an action III the Unit
ed States court in Sioux Falls for the
purpose of testing the constltutlonallty
of the new law. ,
The case is still pending in the federal
court. Special examiners were appointed
by Judge Garland, of the United States
court. to take testimony in the case In
South Dakota, Illinois, Ohio and New
York. but as yet little of the testimony
has been taken.
Nov. l of the present year was orig
inally fixed as the time for the submitting
of the testimony to Judge Garland, and
Nov. 10 was determined upon as the
date when the case should be argued be-
fore him.
But owing to the delay i'll commencing
the work of taking the testimony in the
! four states mentioned, extensions of time
in which to submit the testimony and
make the arguments in the case will have
to be applied for and granted.
There is now little likelihood that the
work of taking the testimony will com
mence in earnest until after the begin
ming of the new year.
AS the state legislature meets early III
| January, the delay in taking the tcsti'
mony in the case would appear to
strengthen the suspicion that the Stand
ard Oil Company will endeavor to have
the obnoxious law repealed. If such an
effort is made, and results successfully,
it will, of course, be unnecessary to press
the case now pending in the federal
court

FLOOD IS o.
Walls Of Reservoir In North Corlina
Break.

A reservoir Of the municipal water
works, located near the center IF Win
ston-Salem, n. c., broke at 3 o'clock
Wednesday morning, causing the loss OF
nine lives and the injury of fou or five
persons.
The cause Of the disaster was an over
flow reservoir, one brick wall collapsing,
which released 100000 gallons of water
and devastated over a mile Of territory.
Thirteen residences were destroyed. The
occupants were mostly negroes.
R~escuing parties worked heroically in
the hopes Of saving nan known to have
been carried down by the rushing wa
tiers.
The north side Of the reservoir, which
is thirty feet high, tumbled over. falling
On the home and barn of Martin Pee
pies. There were about 100000 gallons
of water in the reservoir, and the stream
rushed northeast to the Southern Rail
way cut, and thence to BeIo's pond, a dis
lance of half a mile. Four tenement
houses were washed several hundred
yards.
There were several miraculous escapes.
A colored man and his wife, named Da-
Wis, after their house was turned over,
foated on the stream of water on their
ped to the railroad junction, a distance
Of 500 yards. They lodged upon a heap
of rubbish and walked out without a
scratch.
The Winston aldermen met at once and
made arrangements to bury the dead and
care for the injured.
The reservoir was built in 1881. The
city has just had a large %standpipe com
pleted. 1t is full Of water and the town
is prepared to supply every demand.
The reservoir was situated about FIVE
blocks from the enter Of the business
district of the city and was surrounded
by a number of residences and several
small stores. 1t is understood that the
structure had been condemned, but the
city authorities had failed to remOve it..

non, y. Y, at / O'Clock Wednesday shook
the city and surrounding country within a
radius of five miles, probably killed at
least one person and injured nearly forty

seen at his post of duty just before the
explosion and no trace of him has since

Most of those injured were caught by
falling ceilings and walls in the houses
near by. Stoves in stores and dwellings
were overturned and many fires were
started, but in each case the flames were
quickly ~extinguished.
Chief OF Police Foley at once ordered
the arrest Of William +. Ryan, foreman
Of the gang of workmen employed on the

and a Lively Time is Expected
When Robbers Are Caught.

Advices from Cody. Wyo., state that
the different bands OF men hunting the
men who killed the cashier of the First
National Bank have the robbers practi-
cally surrounded in the foothills of the
Owl Creek Mountains, fifty miles from
Cody, and their death or capture is GER
tain within a short time. 1t is reported
that a large force OF their friends are
coming to their assistance from the
"Hole-in-the- Wall country, and a num-
Der of men have left Cody to reinforce
the pursuers.
Buffalo Bill, with Indian scouts and
cowboys, has taken the trail, and a lively
time may be anticipated. Cody and his
force are heavily armed and are deter
mined to get the robbers.
The bandits have cut all the telephone
wires leading through the basin, and it is
almost impossible to get further facts.
A telephone message from Basin, the
county seat, says that Sheriff Fenton and
posse are in the Bad Lands, over near
Tbermopolis, n long distance from tele-
phone. Thursday forenoon Fenton sent
a man back 10 the nearest telephone sta
ton to report to Basin that he and his
party had the outlaws located and ex-
pected to get them. The bandits are now
among friends, and it is believed that the
sheriif's party will have some hard fight
ing on it's hands.

Sheriff Fenton, of Big Horn County,
came in from the. chase of the outlaws
who attempted to rob the bank Of Cody
and killed Cashier Middaugh on Tuesday
