BIG DAM SWEPT AWAY
HAVOC OF NoRTHPLATTE FLOOD
IN WYOMING.
Spreading Over Lowlands--Barns,

One Rachman Loses 800 Sheep

"A Denver, Colo, special says: Wyo-
ming is experiencing the worst floods
in recent years, according to dispatch
es from Cheyenne and other points
received here Wednesday night The
Platte River from the Colorado to the
Nebraska line, a distance of 500 miles
is running over its banks and flooding
the adjacent country. Nearly all the
streams In the state are floods Re-
ports Of missing ranchmen, damage
to ranch and other property and
drowning of live stock are being re-
ceived. The railroads are having diff
guilty in traversing the food territory
The floods are due to melting snow.
In the eastern portion of Colorado
snow and rain fell Wednesday night
At Casper Wyo., the North Platte
River has been rising at an alarming
rate for forty-eight hours. The great
dam at Colva, erected by the reclama-
ton service as a temporary construc-
ton to divert the waters of the river
while the Pathfinder dam is being
built, has been washed away and
Its loss will seriously interrupt the
completion of the government enter
prise.
Although the heavy rains of the
last few days had caused much appre-
hension among residents of this part
of Wyoming, none was prepared for
the overthrow of such piece of en-
cheering as the huge dam. When
the waters swept through the immense
masonry many workmen barely es-
capped with their lives.
The dam had been built at a cost of
nearly 100000. The steel bridge
built by the government six miles be-
low the dam at Pathfinder was also
carried away.
Small cabins, barns and property of
all descriptions are floating down on
the swollen stream, which is spreading
over the lowlands and causing great
loss to stockrnen and ranchmen. Miles
upon miles of lowlands are flooded,
and 1t is feared much stock may have
been drowned
A report from Lander says that 800
sheep belonging to Charles Souther
which We're housed in large shed
were drowned and swept away.

writ Of habeas corpus, directing the
production Of Mr.. Perkins before JUS
tice Greenbaum. The writ was grant
ed.
This proceeding takes the case from
the jurisdiction of the magistrate and
carries it directly to the Supreme Court,
which, however, Is not the highest court
in the state, there being an appellate
division and n court of appeals still
higher, to which the case might be APP
pealed.
In the petition in which Mr.. Perkins
asked for writ of habeas corpus he
declared that he is imprisoned and re-
strained of his liberty by the detec-
tive and that he is not committed by
judgment of any tribunal. In his petit
ton Mr.. Perkins declared also that his
Imprisonment and restraint are illegal
and that the warrant is void il that
no evidence of any crime or act justify
ing his arrest had been submitted to
Magistrate Moss, and that the magis-
trate was without jurisdiction to issue
the warrant.
The charge is based on contributions
by the New York Life Insurance Com
pany to the Republican campaign COM
mittee i'm 1904. Contributions Of the
New York Life to the Republican cam
paign fund in 1904 were made in the
form of payments aggregating $4S.T02
80 from George w. Perkins to Cornelius
n. Bliss.
Mr.. Perkins before the Armstrong in
vestigating committee on Sept. IA last
testified concerning check dated Dec
30, 1904, signed by Treasurer Randolph
and Assistant Treasurer Shipman and
reading: PAY to the order Of J. p.
Morgan & Co., $4S, 702.5O."
THAT was money" said Mr.. Per-
kins, paid to Cornelius n. Bliss on ac-
count of the Republican campaign fund
of last year. We had agreed to pay
him $50,0OO-as much as that-Mr. Nc
Call had-if he wished it. That was
all he finally called for and it was paid
in that way as cash to him.
This check for the campaign, drawn
to the order of j. =. Morgan & Co., has
no significance whatever. The money
was ordered paid by the president and
a check was drawn that way undoubt-
eddy. This is the first time l have seen
1t. 1t was the most convenient way to
pay the money to me, or convenient
way"

vERMrLL1oN LICENSE QUESTION
1t Is to Be Decided at Coming City
Election

The temperance people OF Vermlll-
ion have asked that the proposition OF
license or no license be submitted at
the next city election to the voters.
They claim that unless vote Is taken
on the proposition each election the
druggists can go on selling liquor
without even being molested. as they
are powerless to enforce that provision
Of the pharmacy law requiring that
sales of intoxicating liquors shall be
made only on the prescription OF
practicing physician.
The situation in Vermillion regard
ing license is a peculiar one. to say
the least. Heretofore II has always
been those favoring saloons who have
filed the petition. They have always
been defeated at the polls. Now 1t
would be strange, indeed, If after hav-
ing asked for vote on 1t the temper
ance people should be defeated In
former years the druggists have al
ways opposed license, but this year it
is understood they favor it, and the
campaign may yet result in a red hot
one, which will scare the white rib
boners.

IMMENSE CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
Belle Fourche Said to Lead the World
i'm This Respect

A Belle Fourche special says: More
cattle are shipped yearly from the
station in this city than from any 9TH
er one shipping point in the world.
Belle Fourche is without exception the
largest cattle shipping station in exist
ence. The yards are so equipped that
a train of ten cars of cattle can be
loaded in six minutes. Quicker time
than this has been made, but this is
fair average. During the last shipping
season $500 cars of cattle were ship
ped within ninety days, making a to-
tai of nearly 100, 900 head. The fall Of
1903 was the banner year fer cattle
shipments and in ninety days $1,000
900 worth of cattle were shipped from
the station here at Belle Fourche. An
immense cattle country is tributary to
this city, cattle being brought in from
four states Wyoming, Montana and
North and South Dakota. The range
Is almost limitless, and within a radius
of $50 miles some half million cat
tie are grazing.

SLIGHT IMPEDIMENT.
Indian Denied Marriage License BE.
cause He Had Wife and Children

Loves dream was rudely shattered
by Clerk Of Courts Tarbell at Pierre
when Arrow, a Sioux brave, and his
chosen Bright Eyes appeared asking
for a license to wed. They were ac-
companied by rotund Chief Prairie
Chicken, who was supposed to know
more of the ways of the white man
than did the love lorn couple, and he
ushered them into the presence of the
clerk and explained their wants. Clerk
Tarbell is pretty well acquainted with
Indian ways, and among other ques-
tons he wanted to know If there were
and prior entanglements in a matri-
monial way which might prevent a le-
gal ceremony. He soon brought out
the fact that out on the reservation
another wife and six children were
waiting for the return of the head OF
the household, and he turned down
their application, leaving the forlorn
couple to wend their way back to the
reservation without carrying out their
dream of welded bliss.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A con-
DENSEI FORM.
Caught In a Blizzard-Both Legs and
All His Fingers Frozen and Had to
BE Amputated-Eye Destroyed by
Accidental Shot.

A man named Anderson, who as the
result Of a thrilling experience lost
both legs and the fingers of both
hands, has been sent from Lead to his
friends at Rock Springs, Wyo., after
having been looked after for the past
week by the authorities OF Lead.
Anderson was caught out in a bliz-
yard, and when found had been so
badly frozen that 1t was necessary to
amputate both legs above the knees
and all of the fingers on both hands,
leaving only the two thumbs. Prior to
his dreadful experience Anderson was
a large, powerful man, and to his
wonderful vitality and strong consti-
tuition is due the fact that his life was
spared. Not one man out of ten
thousand could have withstood the
exposure to which he was subjected
during the blizzard.
Although a perfect specimen of
manhood prior to his experience, he
is now physical wreck. Anderson is
finely educated and can speak several
languages fluently, as well as write
them. He also is familiar with quite
a number of European dialects and
those who, owing to his unfortunate
condition visited him during his stay
in Lead were greatly surprised at his
wide range of information on all sub
Jects, and especially history and re-
ligion.
Anderson's friends at Rock Springs
doubtless will care for him in future,
and although crippled it is believed he
ultimately will be able to do something
Cor himself.

NO CANAL LEGISLATION.
No bill ON Isthmian Waterway
Likely to Pass This Session.

Canal legislation at the present SEES.
sion of Congress is regarded as ex-
tremely improbable, even by the menu
bers of the Senate committee, which,
for two months, has been meeting near
ly every day to Investigate conditions
on the isthmus Of Panama and pre-
pare itself to report bill. Several
weeks ago it was decided to postpone
temporarily the investigation of criti-
cisms that had been made against the
management of canal affairs and to
devote the time to discussion of the
type of canal to be constructed. The
committee is divided ON this subject,
and there Is no indication that the
witnesses called and the testimony
taken have tended toward harmonic
ing the views of the members.
Advocates of the lock-level canal
proposed by the minority of the board
o: consulting engineers apparently are
confident that this plan will be follow
ell. They have pointed out that IL no
agreement Is reached Dy Congress the
President, in his message transmitting
the two reports of the board, has given
notice that the administration will pro-
coed with the construction of the lock
canal.
Engineers who have been before the
Senate committee have not agreed az
to the feasibility of constructing at
Gatun the three locks proposed by the
minority plans, and on this has hinged
largely the examination of the engin-
GERS. All of the advocates of the sea-
level project were outspoken against
the safety of the locks mt that point
but the friends Of the minority plan
have been greatly encouraged by q
cablegram from Chief Engineer Ste
vens, declaring that there could be no
doubt concerning the success Of the
Gatun locks.
In view Of the fact that the House
Committee ON Interstate and Foreign
Commerce is not inclined to accept the
testimony taken by the Senate commit
tee. II Is believed that the house win
rot he ready for several weeks to take
