REccoMMENps BUILDING DAM.

Mr.. Rafter recommended that the state should
undertake the construction OF the dam. and stat
ed that either the state itself or a private COM
pany could reap vast profits from its CONNER
cial possibilities. As 20 a private company, he
stated that under the laws then existing no prf-
vete company could be organized with such a
franchise would permit carrying out a
broad scheme OF power development and the
building up OF manufacturing town IN the
manner suggested. Before that could be done
II would be necessary for .he state TO release
its assumed right 90 tho waters OF the Genesee

STORM DID GREAT DAMAGE.
Violent Wind Sweeps Over Portions
of Indian Territory.

Tulsa, I. IA violent storm swept
over this section of Indian Territory
early Sunday, causing damage to prop
erty estimated at nearly half mil
lion dollars. A terrific electrical
storm accompanied the wind, and
lightning struck oil tanks all over the
mid-continent field. In Glenn Pool,
near Tulsa, a 55,OOO-barrel tank of the
Quaker Oil & Gas company and a
dozen other small tanks were struck
by lightning and are still burning
fiercely. William S. Mowry of this
city suffered loss at Cody Bluff of
nine 16,000-barrel tanks, and the
Standard Oil tanks at the same place
were almost totally destroyed. Re-
ports received from Ramona, Ochela-
ia, Nowata and other points tell of
heavy damage by wind, but no loss of
life.

WONDERFUL NERVE
Of H|CHWAYMAN
Holds up Two Stage Loads of
Passengers and Relieves
Them of ValuableS.
The "6Iack Kid" Again at Work In
California, coolIy Chatting With
His Victims as He Relieves
Them of Spare Change.

Wawona, Cal.-Two of the regular
stages from Raymond bound for Wa
wona, and owned by the Yosemite
Stage & Turnpike company, were
held up and sixteen passengers re-
ieved of their valuables on Thurs
day by the "Black Kid" the famous
lone bandit of this section. The
presence of the robber was disclosed
by the horses, which by their actions
called the attention of Turner, the
driver, to a man who stood at the
side of the road with an old rusty "A
Winchester rife leveled at his head.
He called upon Turner to hold up
and then commanded the passengers
to hold up their hands. The bandit
asked Turner where the other stage
was and was told that it was fol-
lowing. He displayed considerable
impotence until the second stage ap-
peared, when he commanded all the
passengers to alight and hold up
their hands, which command was
readily complied with on the part of
the passengers.
While waiting for the second stage
and when the collection was going
on, the bandit talked pleasantly with
the driver, and asked what was the
matter with the stages of the pre-
vious day, stating that he had waited
several hours for them to pass.
These stages were delayed in leaving
Raymond by a wreck on the railroad.
The robber helped himself to some
peaches, potatoes and crackers from
the stage, remarking that he had a
hard night before him. When he had
finished the general holdup and re-
plenished his stock of foodstuffs, he
ordered the passengers back into the
stages and commanded the drivers
to go on, which order was somewhat
of relief, as they had been stand
ing in the hot road with their hands
raised over their heads for more
than half an hour. From descriptions
furnished of the highwayman he is
no doubt the man who stopped the
stages in 1905 and in July and Sep
TENDER of last year, at which latter
time he permitted tourist to photo
graph him.

introduced and secured the admission
Of four letters tending to show that
Haywood, during the fall of 1905,
when Orchard swears he was engaged
on various crimes for the Federation
leaders, had participated in a plan to
deceive Mrs Orchard, the second, OF
Cripple Creek, as to the whereabouts,
of her husband.
The defense attacked the letters
and Orchards story about them when,
1t got chance to cross-examine the.
witness, but Orchard held to the.
story he told about them. The wit.
ness successfully denied that he had
made an arrangement for the deliv.
cry OF the letters to Pinkerton agents,
that the letters had only made their
appearance since he left the stand
last week, or that he had invented
the story because his wife had Hay
woods letter in her possession.
AT the opening of the morning ses-
sion the defense asked Orchard a
series OF impeaching questions They
all dealt with conversations in which
1t was alleged Orchard recited his
private grudge against Frank Steun-

and was still on the stand when the
court rose for the day. He was called
to identify the Miners Magazine as
the official organ of the Federation,
and to pave the way for the use as
evidence of great number of arti-
cles from the magazine.

defense attempted to modify this by
getting the witness to admit that he
had not sold his interest in the Her
cules, but had pledged it, and could
have taken it back any time up to
his flight from north Idaho. before
the oncoming of troops, but Orchard
adhered to the statement that he had
sold outright.

Chinese INDEMNITY IS CUT
IN TWO BY SECRETARY ROOT
Chlnks Are to Pay Eleven Million for
Boxer Trouble, Instead Of Twenty.
four Million

Boston.-Sir Chentung Lana
Cheng, the retiring Chinese ambassa
dor to the United States, who is In
this city on visit, has given out the
following:
Il shall make public the contents
OF an official note which I received
from Secretary Root last Saturday
night, which shows better than any
thing else can the remarkably high
sense of justice which the United
States has used in all her dealings
with China. You remember that
after the Boxer troubles China agreed
to pay an indemnity of $24,440, 1881
on account of the losses entailed by
the United States government as well
as for personal property lost by her
citizens during the Boxer campaign.
Four years ago your government was
good enough to promise me that
when the time arrived, as token Of
sincere friendship for China, the or
iginal figures of the indemnity would
be revised.
True to the promise Of the execu
tive officers, received note from
Secretary Root last Saturday night
saying that the president directed
him to say that in his next message
to congress he would be pleased tt
recommend that China be relieved O,
all obligation in excess of the fina,
revised amount Of the indemnity
which had been set at $11, 655, 492.69
That, as you can see, will save China
over $12,O0O,OO0 and also an interest
of per cent.
you cannot emphasize too strong
ly my admiration for the fair spirit
which has always characterized the
dealings of the United States with
my country. This final action is an.
other monument to Americas high
sense of justice, and | feel called
upon to say-not because | am the
retiring ambassador-that personally
| feel that America is one of China's
strongest friends"
