Lightning struck an oil tank on
well number one on the Eek Brook
farm in the Glenn pool shortly after
six o'clock last night, and for two
hours and a half it appeared as if
the entire tankage of the Glenn pool
would go up in smoke. The popula-
ton of Mounds turned out and made
a heroic fight to save the tanks and
their precious contents, and at about
eight-thirty o'clock the fire was un-
der control. Only meagre reports could
be obtained by phone from Mounds,
owing to the excitement prevailing
there, but at the time This article is
written, reliable information is 70
the effect that six sixteen hundred
barrel tanks and six $50
barrel tanks had been consumed by
the flames. An oil man at the scene
Of the conhagration stated to the
World that a conservative estimate
would place the loss at $50,O0O
The tanks destroyed were the prop
erty Of the Galbreath company, of
which Robert Balbreath, Frank Ches-
ley, John o. Mitchell, of Tulsa, and
c. F. CoIcord, of Oklahoma City, are
the principal owners.
The fire was confined to the hold

WAS HE MuRDERED7
Supposed Tulmn Pound Dead Be-
meath . Bridge In New Mexico.

News of the death and probable
murder of VIM. J. Hillhouse, whose
residence is unknown, but who is
supposed to be resident of Tulsa
or Okmulgee, reached the city last
evening. Hillhouse was found dead be-
meath bridge in New Mexico, where
he had gone on a homeseekers' excur-
sion. Robbery is supposed to be the
motive of the murder.
Hillhouse bought ticket to Inde-
pendence, Kan, together with parties
from Broken Arrow and Okmulgec.
Here they all purchased homeseek-
ers' tickets. The identity of Hill
house is not known, though he stated
that he had son-in-law in Tulsa.
The word reached the Santa Fe here
and every effort has been made to To-
cate the relatives or friends of Hill
house, but so far without avail.
One of the party from Broken Ar
row stated to Agent Campbell "I
am not certain Hillhouse was the
name of one of the party who kept
talking about his wealth, but judg-
ing from his description, he is the
man. He said he had considerable
money. A cowboy got on the train
and made friends with Hillhouse.
Hillhouse told him about his wealth
and it is probable that Hillhouse was
lured to the lonely spot beneath the
bridge and murdered for his money.
No details of the murder are given.

RE-opEN1NG OF OLD SORE.
Sensational Encounter Between OIL
Man and Mayor of Mounds :.

The following story of sensation
al encounter at Mounds was printed by
the Independence Reporter yesterday
The World endeavored to ascertain
the facts in the case last night by
phone, but the correspondent at
Mounds could neither affirm or deny
the story as printed, although the part
referring to the fight for the franchise
is true:
]. b. Swan. the well known oil and
gas man of this city, was assaulted
and stabbed in the most wanton man
ner by the executive officer of the
town of Mounds, Creek nation, but
luckily escaped serious injury.
Smith & Swan have secured fran
chise to furnish the town of Mounds
with natural gas. They drilled sever
nj wells in that vicinity, but failed to
develop any gas. The franchise was
about to expire. The mayor of the
town informed Mr.. Swan he would
have to pipe the gas from a certain
well. Mr.. Swan informed him that
he would pipe the gas from where he
pleased. And he did,
Mr.. Swan made arrangements with
the Oglesby Oil company, composed
of A. w. Shulthis and Others of this
city, and laid line from their big
passer in the Glenn pool to Mounds,
I distance Of about six miles, and got
the gas in time to save the franchise,
although the mayor put every obsta-
Gle in his way. There was bad blood
in the mayors eye.
Mr.. Swan went to Mounds on bust
ness connected with the line. He was
standing with his arms to an iron
pipe railing. with his arms outstretch-
ed on the pipe, when the mayor ap-
preached him and called INN a liar.
Swan replied If the mayor made a
certain statement, he himself was a
liar. F rreolt
The mayor is. a little Fellow, but

A SEVERE Wind
and rain STORM
DAMAGE IN VARIOUS PARTS OF
CITY FROM WIND.
A BEAUTIFUL Picture
Windows Smashed, Trees Uprooted,
Flag staff Snapped
Asunder.

"The Approach of the Storm
This would have been a heading for a
very exquisite painting, had an artist
caught the coloring and beautiful ar
tistic effect produced prior to the
breaking of a severe rain and wind
storm over Tulsa yesterday afternoon.
The sun was shining brightly and the
atmosphere bore every mark of the
sultry summer day, when jet black
cloud, no larger than the proyerbial
mans hand appeared on the horizon.
II grew preceptibly, until the entire
northern line of vision was mon
strous jet bank that BODIED i'll for pe-
destrians. The clouds were litsle no.
ticed, and it took them but a few
minutes to spread over the entire sky,
and turn the quiet summer afternoon
into every appearance of cyclonic
ERUPTION. Wind bent the trees nearly
double, signs were blown down, win
dows crashed, dust blew in clouds
that blinded, and people hurried ey-
erywhere to escape the effects Of the
sousing rain they knew would soon
follow. Fleecy clouds, wind clouds,
rain clouds tumbled and curled in a
perfect chaos of tumult over the very
heart of the city. To many this for
bobed cyclone for certain, but the
storm developed into nothing more
serious than severe kind and rain
disturbance, lasting less than an hour
The skies then cleared and tonight
the stars are shining as beautifully as
ever, the sultry heat has disappeared,
and every invitation is offered the bv-
er or the traveller ~
Damage from the winds was jeport-
ed in various parts of the cty. A
plate glass window in the Tulsa Decor
ating company's store was cracked,
two windows were blown from the
north side of the Reeder building, a
very large sign board on East Third
street was blown across the street,
and large tree in the neighborhood
of Cicero Hollands store was uproot-
ed. Signs were blown down in many
portions of the city and the flag pole
on the top of the Robinson hotel was
snapped. The other damage reported
was Of a minor nature.

laughingly remarking that it appeared
another case of "lock;ng the stable
after the horse was stolen"
Frank Chesley was in jerks when
the news of the fire reached him. lie
phoned home that big fire was in
progress in the Glenn pool, and left
at once for the scene, where he sip
erintended the fighting of the flames.
Wire connection direct with the
Glenn pool was nnobtainable last
night and il was impossible to get
Mr.. Chesley at Mounds. Robert Gal
breath did not go to the fire, not re-
ceiving word until it was too late for
him to be of service.
The news of the big fire created
great excitement among oil men Of
the city, and number left overland
for the field. When the rumor reach
ed the city of the fire, the World Office
was beseiged by excited operators
and owners. A number went to the
roof Of the Robinson TO vie wthe fire,
but the heavy clouds hanging over the
city obsthructed the view.
The latest bulletin says that there
is no danger Of further spread of
the flames.

SECRETARY SHAW
EXPRESSES HIM
SELF ON TARIFF
SECRETARY OF TREASURY DE-
LIvERS SPEECH IN MISSOURI.
TO ALL REPUBLICANS
Tells Of the Principles Of Both the
Democratic and Republican
Parties.

Springfield, August 1O.-Secretary
of the Treasury, Leslie M. Shaw, was
the principal speaker at the repub-
lican meeting held in the opera house
here tonight. r. f. McJimsey was
chairman of the meeting and Ma
tional Committeeman Thomas j. Ad-
kins introduced Mr.. Shaw. Shaw
laid special emphasis upon the need
of parties and stated that in this
country, national prosperity depended
upon principles and not upon men.
The integrity and patriotism Of the
candidates is largely the same in
either of the parties, he said, and
the country largely prospered or Ian
guished according to the principles
upon which the candidates stood.
Speaking of the tariff, the secre-
tary said that the nation is divided
into producers and consumers. The
democratic party appeals to the corr
sumers, he said, insisting on cheap
products, while the republican party
appeals to the producer, holding that
protection is necessary to furnish
good prices for American producers.
Since il is better to have a high sell
ing market than a cheap buying mar
ket, the republican principle is the
best and protection should be enforc-
ed. There has never been time
when disaster did nto follow demo-
cratic rule, the secretary said. This
has not been the intention of the
democrats, but has resulted from
their incorrect theories. The demo-
cratic party has been more anxious
to find a policy to win campaign on.
the secretary said, than to find wise
policy to follow after the victory is
won. The principles of the republic
an party were appropriate fifty years
ago and will be fifty years hence, he
said.

evening from Muskogee, where he

gether, but being much the larger and
stronger, Swan pushed the mayor
away. He did not realize he was hurt
In few minutes he discovered blood
running down his back, and there
was small abrasion on his cheek,
Then it was discovered that the mayor
had a knife in his hand when he made
the assault On the first pass he cut

ed. Had N Swan realized how he
was being attacked the probabilities
are there would have been serious

principal effect of the resumption of
silver purchases by the treasury de-

increase demanded for subsidiary
coins, said Frank Hall, the veteran
mining writer, in a sieneg article in

stimulate production Of silver bearing
ores from mines already opened
Certain mines that have been closed
since 1893. will be reopened because
the market will be more stable, and
