told us to give up our workings and
leave the district. We laughed at
them. but they visited us the follow
ing day and also on Saturday
SO far none of us has moved, but
we are taking no chances and are
guarding against a possible attack.
The leasers and others now go to
work armed and il we are attacked
by Indians we will certainly pro<ect
as hest we can.
The Rawhide district at one time
was included in a government land
grant TO the Indians but it WIS grad
ually enrtailed until finally the
Walker reservation remained. This.
also, went when President Roose-
welt threw the land open to mineral
entry more than year ago. The
Indians have since maintained that
this was not done in a legal way and
have brought the claim out more
strongly since the recent discovery
OF rich mineral in the Rawhide dis
trict.
Attorneys have been consulted in
the matter and state that the land is
goTernment property and that it has
liaesa epen for location. No one fears
the legal side of the proposition. but
Davis and Worden confess that there
is considerable fear Of trouble
About 400 Piutes are located in
the vicinity of Rawhide and at
Sehurz. A number of them we're for
merly employed as government po-
licemen on the reservation and are
armed with modern weapons.

is placed at two, with three hurt.
At Cedar Creek, Walker County,
eight ore hurt, two fatally so. At
Democrat, Walker County, half a
dozen were severely injured. Sew
eral cou~Ey districts have been
devastated and people hprt, but
poor telegraphic and telephone
facilities prevent accurate reports
being secured. The property dam
age will amount to many hundred
thousand dollars. AS many of the
sufferers of the tornado were poor
people, there is considerable dis
treSs.
PURTIS, MISS.
The most utter MISERY of every
sort was found at Purvis, Miss.
by relief parties. Despite the fact
that of the $500 inhabitants which
this little town boasted there re-
mained only about 900, still there
were not sufficient accommodations
in the wrecked village for even the
wounded. I'D negro mammies
and little black children lay wound
ed and helpless under the boiling
Southern rays. Some had broken
bones, some were partly crushed
and others had been wounded by
sticks and spIinters. The unfortu-
mates were lucky if they had a
blanket or storm wrecked couch
upon which to rest. There was
not enough shelter in the town to
protect them from the sun and
many of the walls which remained
standing had no roofs, and, by a
queer freak of the tornado, many
of the trees which had not been
had been snapped off a
few feet above the ground. A
grove of pines was multilated in
this manner SO that it appeared as
if giant scythe had swept through
the grove about twenty-five feet
from the ground.
The usual freaks were played by !
the wind, one roof having been
from a house to near
by building.
Twenty-seven prisoners were in
-he little town jail. The roof was
lifted completely off the Jail, leav-
ng rain and debris beating in up
IN the exposed prisoners, but SO
error stricken were they that not
me gained his freedom. None of
he prisoners were seriously in
ured.
The total money loss at Purvis
vas estimated at 100000. These
igures were obtained from dozens
f business men, each of whom
alculated his individual loss.
GEORGIA.
AS a result of the storm which
wept into Georgia after having :
one extensive damage in Louisi-
ma, Mississippi and Alabama, i;
twenty-five persons are dead and i!
t least 100 were injured, while {
many others received bruises and ;
from flying debris in a i!
