Storm Sweeps Over Indian Ttr-
tit0ry, Arkansas and Tennessee
TWO KILLED IN ST. LOUIS
Owl. |. T., uffers Enormous Damage,
Fifty Dwellings Being Entirely
Blown Away-Ten Per-
sons Are Injured.

Fort Worth, Tex, May 5.-A special to
the Record from Oklahoma City says:
A tornado struck Owl, l. T., this even
ing and damaged the business part of
the town to the extent of over $4,000. Two
persons were killed and ten injured, four
fatally. On account of the wires being
down it was impossible to secure the
names of those injured, but it is known
that a man and a little girl were killed.
The storm struck the town from the
southwest as a passenger train on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas was coming
into the depot. Nearly every business
house in the town was destroyed, and
about fifty dwellings were carried away
Trees were blown in from distance and
distributed promiscuously through the
town. The storm covered a path about 700
feet wide, and destroyed everything in its
wake. The Missouri. Kansas and Texas
road had a work train at Coal Gate, and
Immediately after the storm had passed
it started for the scene with all the ply
sieians that could be secured.
No damage was done to railroad prop
erty. The people of the town were fran
tic, and great crowds of women separated
from their children ran out onto the prai-
rie adjoining the city in search of them
The only school house in the city was
demolished, and it was in this building
that the principal injuries took place. The
building was filled with children who had
taken refuge from the Storm and nearly
all of them were injured. All telephone
and telegraph wires in the path of the
storm were damaged, and the true condl-
tion of those injured will not be known
before morning.
At Edmond, Okla, the wind destroyed
several small buildings, demolishing the
plate glass front of Deford's store, and
ruined shade and fruit trees by the thou
sands.
Al MulhalI Okla, the hail damaged all
growing crops and fruit, and destroyed
some property
Locally the only damage was from a
severe dust storm, which was followed
by the heaviest rain of the season.

Wait for Sheriff.

Governor Deneen said that he will order
out the troops if the request is made by
Sheriff Barrett, and upon the failure or
success of the attempt for retail deliver
les tomorrow. depends the coming of
troops. Fifteen wagons were sent out
today by the large dry goods and depart
ment stores, and all of them made de-
liveries without interruption. On each
of these wagons rode two deputy sheriffs.
1t was the success of this attempt at de-
livering goods, that prompted the stores
te plan to send out tomorrow practically
their full force of wagons.
Either because of the threatened appear
snce of the troops or because Of the addi-
tion to the police force in the shape OF
deputy sheriffs there was much less riot
ing and fighting in the downtown streets
today than on any day this week.

each one of which carried a guard armed
with Winchester rifles, or duble-barrelled
shotguns, went to and fro between the
depots and exrt % ices without in
terruption, other than that on an oc-
casional stone thrown from the sidewalk,
or some other missile hurled from win
dow. There was little of this. however,
and the wagons were practically unmo-
leSted

ENGLlSHMAN is PLUCKY

Woodward's Pavilion, San Francisco,
May 5-James e. Britt of California be-
came champion lightweight of the world
tonight when he knocked out Jabez White
OF England at the colse of a magnificent
20-round tattle. With just 20 seconds to
so, Britt hooked the Englishman with a
left on the jaw and the foreigner went to
the mat where he law fiat on his back
for eight seconds. He staggered to his
feet. but was powerless to defend him
self and Britt swung right and left on
his jaw. The referee, to save the plucky
Englishman from needless punishment,
stopped the contest although White was
still on his feet, leaning against the
ropes in helpless condition. White was
carried to his corner, and in few minutes
revived sufficiently to make a little
speech in which he said:
II fought the best l knew how. l re-
oeived fair play, but Britt Is evidently
the better man.

White Wins Many Friends.

Britts victory was of course loudly ac-
claimed by the people of his own town.
but White though a defeated man, was
cheered just as voeiferously for the mag
nificent fight he made. Ali through the
battle White showed that he was entitled
to compete for championship honors. He
is a clever boxer, an experienced ring gem
eral and has cool head that carried him
out of difficulty many times. He seemed
to lack, however, one requisite for
champions knockout blow. He landed on
Britt's jaw many times with both right
and left, but apparently did not hurt the
little San Francisco bull dog. In the
twelfth round it looked as If White had a
chance. He landed vicious straight
right on Britts jaw. and as the latter was
off his balance, he went to the floor and
rolled under the ropes. He was not hurt,
however, and came back fighting faster
than ever. Britt forced matters all through
the fight.

The Hide and Leather association, one
OF the members of the Teamowners asso-
ciation. at meeting of its officials today
decided to make deliveries to all firms
regardless of whether they were involved
in the strike or not. Should the team

employed by the firm, 1t would affect $500
men.
At a meeting of furniture manufactur-
ers held this afternoon at the Wellington
hotel, It was resolved that an teamsters
employed by the firms represented would
make deliveries or be discharged. The

drivers. today ordered its men to deliver
goods whenever they were directed and

JUDGE PROWELL
KILLS Mr.. TR|GGS
Accidentally Takes Life of His
Best Friend in Linden
HAS BEEN IN DEEP TROUBLE
Mr.. Trigg Was Trying to Persuade
Him to Go Home and Avoid a
Meeting With State Exam
ner Sedberry.

Selma, May 5.-(Special) 1.-THE particu-
lars of a deplorable tragedy at Linden
reached Selma this morning Before the
arrival of the train from that city ru-
mors were rife upon the streets that Judge
s. M. Prowell, ex-probate Judge of the
county, had killed man. All sorts of re-
ports were current as to the killing but
from the lips of an eyewitness it is
learned that the affair was entirely acel-
dental. j. s. Trigg. one of the prominent
citizens of Marengo county, and a life
long friend of Judge Prowell, being the
victim.
1t will be recalled that the report of
Assistant Examiner of Accounts Sedberry
found Judge Prowel, along with other
officers of Marengo county, due the state
and county considerable sums of money.
Judge Prowell, who has since been sue
ceeded by ex-Sherlff Hasty paid the state
$4,000 few days ago, and it was UNDER
stood that the county would compromise
the shortage, it being the universal belief
that Judge Prowell had not benefited per-
sonally from the shortage, but the whole
affair having been the result of careless
ness and negligence in bookkeeping and
in collecting the licenses due.
Wanted to See Sedberry.
The grand jury which assembled last
Monday was instructed TO make an inves-
tigation itno the shortage due the coun-
ty and State Examiner Sedberry was
summoned before that body. He passed
through Selma yesterday en- route to Lin
den. Hearing that Mr.. Sedberry was In
the city. Judge Prowell put his big a.
calibre Colts pistol in his pocket and
went up town. His friends became exceed
ingly anxious lest a meeting between Mr.
Sedberry and Judge Prowell should oc-
cur, and about 6 o'clock the latter was
standing in front of the postoffice talking
to Attorney Lewellen Pitts of Unlontown,
who was endeavoring to persuade Judge
Prowell to go home. Mr.. Trigg, seeing the
Judge. went across the street and also
begged Judge Prowell to go home and
not have any trouble.
Dropped His Pistol.
While talking Judge Prowell gave his
trousers hitch. a habit that will be re-
called by his friends, and the big pistol
fell out and was discharged, the ball pass
ing through Mr. Triggs body.
Judge, you have shot me-" called out
Mr.. Trigg.
NO. / haven't. John" came the reply,
and then Judge Prowell saw his weapon
on the sidewalk and realized that 1t had
fallen and inflicted a mortal wound on
his friend
Mr.. Trigg lived about twenty-five min
utes He called Attorney Jim Miller to him,
while he lay on the sidewalk and talked to
him of his affairs Mr.. Trlgg leaves a wife
and several children and grandchildren.

ter and Mr.. Arland Trigg OF Linden is a
son.

grief last night over the sad occurrence.

the many charges brought against him
