MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 1.-The business
of the city today sustained almost as
much financial loss from heavy rain
storm, which set in shortly after mid
night and lasted about twelve hours,
as from the recent disaster.
There is scarcely a building in the
business section of the city that is
capable of keeping out the rain. Many
of them have no roofs at all md dur
ing the storm of today, in which four
inches of rain fell, the water poured
down through elevator shafts. leaking
roofs and upon unprotected upper
floors. running all manner of merchan-
disc. SO = .si@
During the rain today water poured
into the federal building through the
elevator in such volume that large
pools were formed, on every floor. At
his office IN the city hall Mayor Lyon
sat at his desk with his feet drawn up
under his chair to keep them out of
puddles- on his carpet, and wore, his
hat to keep the rain from falling on
his head.
The roof of the city hospital, which
was badly damaged Wednesday and
which had been temporarily repaired,
was leaking badly today and Mayor
Lyon dispatched an emergency corps
to make it fit place for the sick.
At a meeting of the citizens relief
committee held this afternoon it was
agreed that while Mobile is entirely
able to care for the suffering within
her own limits contributions from the
neighboring sections of the country will
be accepted for the aid of the suffer-
ers in towns on the southern side of
the bay.
The Louisville & Nashville railroad
tonight brought trains into the city
from the north for the first time since
the storm. The crew of the Nor
wegian bark Norge, all of whom were
reported lost, are safe, having been
picked up by a passing steamer.
The bodies of eight people were
picked up today in the lower bay.s

Over
Living With Five Wives
Is Cause of Action
Started
Statutory offense Charged When
Forty-tFird Child Is Born-De.
fendant Released on His Own
Recognizance
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 1.-The
president of the Mormon church,
Joseph r. Smith, was arrested and
bound over to the district court today
on the charge of living unlawfully
with five wives.
The complaint was sworn by a Nor
mon deputy sheriff, the warrant was
served by order of a Mormon sheriff
and the committing magistrate is also
a Mormon. M
President Smith was arraigned i'm
mediately after his arre5t and waived
preliminary hearing.
After being bound over he was re-
leased on his own recognizance
President Smith reached here two
days ago on his return from Europe.
He then learned that an attempt had
been made to secure his arrest for a
statutory offense in connection with
the birth of his forty-third child. The
complaint Vas made from a distinctly
anti Mormon source
The county attorney refused to ap-
prove a prosecution on this charge
The county attorney was then cited to
appear in court and show cause why
he should not be compelled to act
After the hearing the court held
that the attorney was justified in re-
fusing to prosecute because the COM
plainant Offered no evidence that the
mother of the child was not the wife
of President Smith.
Whatever the motive back of to-
days proceedings the effect will be
to disarm the criticism that has been
directed against the authorities for
their failure to take cognizance of the
admissions made by President Smith
before the Senate committee during
the investigation of the Smoot case.

ARE BEATEN TO
DEATH
BY Associa ted Press.

BY Associated Press.
KERSON, Oct. 1.-Ninety-seven
peasants of devastating the estate of M.
charge of devastatin gthe estate of M.
Krivoshein, formerly minister of rail-
roads.
Sixty-two were sentenced to impris-
onment, while thirty-four were acquit-
ted.
The chief of the district. accompan-
led by detachment of Cossacks,
reached the estate soon after the de-
vastation.
All the peasants on the ground were
at once gathered in. No investigation

administer the last sacrament to the
prisoners and then ordered the Cos
sacks to beat them all to death.
The butchery lasted for four hours.
Twenty three peasants were killed and
1876 mutilated.
The Cossacks then, thoroughly tired
out, compelled the peasants to continue
f1ogging each other and men had to
beat their own brothers, sons and
fathers.
The victims of the slaughter were in
nocent, those really guilty having es-
capped by flight. In spite of the revela-
ton, the court found sentences as re-
lated above.

WOMAN
HOLDS UP
STAGE

special to The Herald.
REDDING, Oct. 1,-Ten passengers
and a stage driver were held UP at 1
O'clock by woman armed with a
double -barreled shotgun.
The hold-up took place half a mile
east of the Bella Vista school house on
the Redding-Ingot wagon road. Pass
engers and driver were relieved of $3.50
in coin-all the money they had-and
were allowed to proceed on their way.
The 'hold-up," if such 1t may be
called, was ludicrous, but awfully real
to w. I. Thurman, driver of the stage,
and ten miners he was conveying to the
Afterthought, where they were sent by
a Redding employment agency.
Thurman left Redding in the morn
ing with ten passengers in his convey
ance. There are several road houses
on the road to Ingot, and when the
Bella Vista schoolhouse was reached
the miners were hilarious with good
cheer, and Thurman, who was entirely
sober; felt the need of making stop
to feed his horses, which were tagged
out with the heavy load they had
drawn,--and- giving his passengers a
needed rest.
At the first house On the left side Of
the road beyond the schoolhouse Thur
man thought from appearances that 1t
was public stopping place. He drove
into the corral, put his horses in the
barn, bade his miners alight, and went
to the house to negotiate meals for the
crowd.
The house was occupied by Mrs. Anna
Taylor, who makes no pretensions at
keeping a public stopping place. She
had witnessed with CONSERVATION from
a second STORY window the invasion of
her barnyard by crowd who uncere-
moniously took possession of the prem
ises. She grabbed up her douhle-bar-
relied shotgun and. went to the door to
answer Mr.. Thurman's knock.
She quickly told him he was an in
truder and would accept no explana-
tions, although Thurman was profuse
in his apologies. She bade him and
his men to begone, but first she de-
manded payment of SIS for damages
done to her dignity, the sacredness of
her home and the horse feed in her
barn.
Thurman was willing to pay the IS
and make the best of a bad affair by
paying to get out of 1t, but he was short
of coin. He had only SO. He appealed
to the ten passengers to help him make
up the difference, and Mrs. Taylor s
shotgun added force to the appeal. The
ten miners, sitting in the shade of the
ring proceedings around them, sympa-
thized with Thurman more than with
the proprietor. They managed to scrape
together $1.5O, which with the SO Thur
man had, met Mrs. Taylor's demand SO
cents shy.
Mrs. Taylor, realizing the vantage of
her position, insisted upon having the
last cent demanded or she would keep
the horses in the barn as hostages.
At this juncture Ed Haley drove by
with the regular mail stage from Ingot,
is we'll acquainted with Haley and ap-
pealed to him for the loan of 80 cents in
his extremity. Haley professed to be
dead broke because he had cashed
checks down the road. He drove on.
Finally. Mrs Taylor relented, and
allowed Thurman to proceed to IngoJ
with his passengers. on the solemn
promise that he would remit so cents by
the next mail.
