E@rrHQUAKE CAUSES a PANIC.
Seismic Disturbance is Felt at Anna,
Ill.,, and Vicinity.

Anna, ILL.,, Oct. 24.-Residents Of
this town and those of a wide sur-
rounding stretch of country are in a
state of keen alarm and anxiety over
a severe earthquake, shock which was
felt throughout this region.
The disturbance, which lasted near
ly minute and occurred in the night,
rocked all the houses in Anna, throw
ing dishes, clocks and ornaments from
shelves and creating a panic among
the residents.
Practically every family in town
was reused and all rushed into the
streets in their nightclothes, women
and children screaming in terror. The
most of them returned to their homes
only to don warmer clothing and
wraps, spending the rest Of the night
in the open air through fear of an
other shock.
Considerable damage was done to
buildings all over the town and
throughout the county. Foundations
and walls were cracked or settled and
many chimneys fell.
The citizens have not recovered
from their fright, the most of them
believing that another shock may come
at any moment.

the best of care.
Russell said that he was engaged in
railroad building at Lower Matacombi

upon them. Thirty-three of the men
who were employed with him took
refuge on board the Halfy, but the
frail craft quickly broke away from
her mornings and in the height of the
gale was smashed to pieces.
Eight of the men were rendered
unconscious from injuries suffered in
the smashing of the barge, or were
beaten insensible by the driftwood
among which they were thrown after
the barge went down. He saw other
members of the party who had sur
vived the sinking of the barge cling

ly wounded. Armed with Krag-]or-
gensens, the citizens are able to do
their fighting at long range and have
taken shelter behind various farm
houses. The bandits. when they saw
there was no chance of escape, turned
their weapons on the posse, which out
numbered them five to one, and the
citizens replied with a volley.
Twenty-Five men armed with Krag-
Jorgensen rifles left Minot, S. d., on
500 train to assist Sheriff Lee in
capturing the bandits.
The robbers entered the town early
Tuesday. and when discovered at work
held citizens at bay for two hours and
until they had looted the safe of $4.-
500. The robbers escaped amidst a
volley Of shots and their pursuit was
at once begun.

Bares Love Escapades.

The evidence also revealed the fact
that the late vice president of the
Pullman company was once threat
ened with a breach of promise suit
by fourth woman and that many
years ago he figured in an escapade in
St. Louis with still another woman.
Witnesses produced by the two
daughters and son of the testator re-
lated tales of revelry at the Wickes
homestead in Grand boulevard, where,
according to the testimony of a for
mer butler, the car magnate frequent
ly retired at night after he had con-
sumed the contents of pail filled
with five bottles of beer, quart of
whisky and bottle of buttermilk.
Included in the domestic compiled
tions of the testator we're five divorce
suits, all of which were attributed to
him. His marriage to each of his two
last wives, it was shown, was the
result Of chance meetings. Wickes
became acquainted with his second
wife on a Pullman car, and he pro-
posed marriage to her at their second
meeting, according to her testimony.
