LELAND MAKES CHARGES
says j. w. and c. S. GIeed Are Trying
to Cripple DevIin Trustees.

J. w Gleed and c. S. Gleed. who have
been more or less prominent in the
sactions of the creditors of the Dew
lin estate are charged by Cyrus Leland
with an attempt to cripple the success

trustees. The trustees are Cyrus Leland,
Walter Reeves and J. E. Hurley.
1T looks to me as if the Gleeds are
working to cripple the trustees from
carrying on their work" said Mr.. Le-
land.
The old Kansas City Coal and
Coke company, formerly selling agents
for the output of the Devlin mines in
Kansas City, was reorganized after the
Thomas failure and the Kansas City

of the new organization. Two coal men

stated that DR.. Woods who was ap-

the creditors opposed to him was absent
The election was made by certain cred
itors who are under the knuekle of Dr..
Woods. The Gleeds are mixed up in

The trustees refuse in addition to turn
over the Marceline coal mines to DR.
Woods. After the meeting at which the
trustees were elected and DR.. Woods in
the Marceline Coal company it was
discovered that c. J. Devlin had been
the sole owner of the coal company.
Upon this Information the trustees
promptly decided they would not turn
over the properties to Woods. They
hold to the claim that they were elect

that the Marceline Coal company is

At midnight, last night, a terrific
wind and rain storm, accompanied
by the worst electrical display of the
year, passed over Tulsa and the sur
rounding country. Rain fell i'll
swoops and the streets were trans
formed into miniature rivers for a
time. Lightning ~layed necessarily
over a background of swiftly moving
black clouds, and the roar of thun-
der was terrifying and continuous.
A heavy wind from the northwest
swept loose boxes off the street, and
insecurely fastened signs were blown
down in many places. No serious
damage was reported to the police
up to 3 o'clock this morning, but the
injury to streets and alleys and dam
age to crops, will no doubt prove
great. The rain was probably the
heaviest proportionately this season,
but it lasted less than half an hour

WAS IT PREMoNITIoN7


Chief Alder and Night Sergeant of
Police Lowell Hall were talking over
experiences last night, and curious
coincidence is brought out in this con-
nection. During the course of their
conversation, Alder related of an in
cident that occurred during his ca
reer as member of the Springfield,
Mo-. fire department. The department
was called out one night to fight a
fire in five story building. Alder
and several others were sent into the
basement. While they were there,
the building collapsed. Fortunately
heavy steel girders protected the fire
boys by holding up the ruins tempo
rarily. The chief ordered all hose
played on the basement, where the
boys were imprisoned. When the fire
was diminished sufficiently for a res
cue party to reach the entombed fire.

their necks in hot water. The story

ATTRACTED HUGE CROWDS.

The collapse of the building drew
large crowds to the scene, practically
everybody in the city viewing the
catastrophe until after dark. A cor
don of police was necessary to keep
the immense crowd back from the
building. The work Of investigating
the ruins to ascertain whether any
one was buried therein, necessitated
the pulling down of several walls
which stood up after the collapse. A
number of people were slightly in
jured by falling bricks while this
was being done. The rescue work was
kept up until after nine o'clock, when
it was certain that no one was under
meath the ruins.
The Lewis building, just north and
adjoining the Brand and Smith build
ing, was completed at about the time
the collapsed building was. The
two structures presented a fine ap'
pearance and looked as solid as the
