DEATH TO HUNDREDS.
Heavy Loss of Life In vesuvius
Eruption.

a Naples special says: Reports OF
fatalities consequent upon the erup-
ton of Mt. yesuvius are coming in.
According to information reaceived
late Monday night probably as many
as 500 lives were lost. 1t is said that
more than 200 persisted in the disas-
ter of San Guiseppi, while from the
ruins of church which collapsed ow-
ing to the weight Of ashes on the roof
forty-nine bodies were extricated. and
1t is asserted that at Sorrento thirty
seven were killed by falling houses.
A railway train from San Guiseppi
for Naples was derailed owing to
showers of stones from the crater.
Cavalry proceeding to the succor of
the inhabitants of the devastated sec
lions have been unable to make pro-
gress, the rain falling on the ashes
having made it impossible for the
horses to travel.
The sea is greatly agitated. The sky
has cleared, but heavy clouds hang
over the east, threatening a further
downpour
The streams of lava are almost sta
tionary. Troops are erecting barriers
in the direction Of Pompeii to prevent
danger in that locality
AT midnight the situation appeared
more assuring, the lava streams hav-
ing diminished in volume and in some
directions having stopped altogether,
while a copious rainfall is cooling the
lava where it lies stationary
Almost equally with the devastation
wrought by the lava is the damage
done by cinders and ashes, which in
incredible quantities have been car
ried great distances. This has caused
the practical destruction of San Gui-
seppi, place of about 5000 inhabit-
ants.
All but 200 of the people had fed
from San Guiseppi and these 200 as
sembled in a church to attend mass.
While the priest was performing his
sacred office the roof fell in and many
were killed and injured. These unfor-
tunates were for hours without surgi-
cal or medical assistance. The only
thing left standing in the church was
statue Of st. Anne, the preservation
OF which the poor, homeless people ac-
cepted as a miracle and promise of de-
liverance from their peril.
At Ottajano five churches and ten
houses fell under the weight of ashes
and cinders, which lie four feet deep
on the ground In the fall Of the build
ings about twelve persons were killed
and many were injured. The village
is completely deserted by its people.
After the evacuation of the place the
barracks and prisons fell in.

SHERIFF HADN'T FORGOTTEN.
Dakotan Wanted for Criminal Assault
is CaDtured

After having eluded capture for a
period Of over three months, Charles
Cummings, resident of Kingsbury
County, has been placed under arrest
on the serious charge of criminal as
sault. When the warrant for his ar
rest was issued, more than three
months ago, Cummings fled before the
warrant could be served.
A few days ago, doubtless thinking
that the authorities had forgotten
about the matter, he returned to
Kingsbury County. Sheriff Peterman
however, has maintained a close watch
for the fugitive, and placed him un-
der arrest soon after his return to the
county and state. Cummings was taxi
en- before justice for his preliminary
hearing. but he waived examination
and was placed under bonds in the
sum of $4,000 for his appearance at
the June term of state circuit court in
Kingsbury County.

TWO DAYS IN GREAT AGONY.
Man with a Broken Leg Has a Dis
tressing Experience.

hdIi Will a. DEohSI IItS has a biS-
tressing Experience.
G. F. Meyers, a Sanborn County
farmer, had distressing experience
as the result of which he will lose one
of his legs.
While engaged about his farm he
fell and broke his right leg below the
knee. He managed to crawl into his
dwelling house, but could go no furth-
er, and as he lived alone he was help
less and had to patiently await the
coming of some chance visitor to his
home SO medical aid could be sum-
moned.
But It was two days arer the acct
dent that the hoped for visitor arriv-
ed, and during the interval the unfor-
tunate man was in the greatest ag-
ony. A physician was promptly sum-
moned by the chance visitor, who dis
covered his helpless condition, but
when the physician arrived blood poi
,soning had set and 1t was found neces-
sary to have Meyers taken to hos
pital so his limb could be amputated.

March Broke Record in Land OficS
mt Pierre.

at Plerre.
The month Of March showed
greater number of filings in the Pierre
land office than for any other month
since the office has been established,
with 317 homesteads, 81 water de-
claratories and IL soldiers declarato-
ries, making total of 349 quarter
sections taken up. This makes u to-
tai of $3.50 acres, or nearly three
townships. Seventy-eight contests
were filed during the nS)nth, and
among some of them new point has
been raised.
No question of sufficiency of i'm
provements or residence is brought up,
but the entry is attacked on the ques-
ton of good faith of the entryman.
This includes his faith in holding the
claim as home for himself, and If
the department should hold that to be
grounds for contest it would open up
a large number of claims which are
held by business men in towns where
they supend most of the time, making
trips to the claim.
