FEW DEMOCRATS

House Republicans Assembled
for a Scrap During Me-
mortal Services.

Washington, April 19.-Memorial ser
vices were conducted today in the
house of representatives for the late
Representative George w. Smith OF IL
linois. 1t is the first time in two weeks
the proceedings were opened with
prayer, the house during that period
having principally been in continuous
session. In view of yesterdays episode
between Speaker Cannon and Mr.. Will
liams, the minority leader, growing out
of the speakers arbitrary adjournment
of the house, it was deemed wise from
a party standpoint TO have as many RI
publicans as possible on hand. About
100 responded to the notification, al
though any prospect of a clash with
the Democrats was dissipated when it
was observed that only few were in
their seats. Speaker Cannon and his
floor managers, Messrs. Payne and Dali
zell. occupied their accustomed places
until the journal had been approved
and a resolution adopted providing for
adjournment Immediately after the de-
livery of the eulogies on Mr.. Smith,
many of the members. With the ex-
ceptiOn of Mr.. DeArmond. none of the
minority leaders was present
Those who paid tribute to Mr.. Smiths
memory were Messrs. Thistlewood, RO-
denberg, Chapman, Louder and Graft
cid Russell (Mo), CLANCY Qnd) and
Stevenson (Minn.).
AS a further mark of respect the
house. at 1873 p. m, adjourned until
noon tomorrow.

In addition TO the Walpole robbery,

Shinborn is said to have been the head
of a gang which in 1869 broke into the
vaults of the Ocean bank on Greenwich
street, New York, and got aHay with
81 600, 600 worth of plumber. Following
this came the robbery of the BOyleston
bank in Boston, the West Maryland
bank in Baltimore and the Manhattan

Concord. y. II. April 19.-Adhering to
his story firmly that he was a victim
of mistaken identity, a prisoner known
as Max Shinborn. a bank burglar of
international notoTiety, was released
today from the state prison, his SEN
tence for the robbery of the Walpole,
y. H., Savings bank having expired
on Easter Sunday.
All through his confinement the pris-
oner has insisted that his real name
is Seney L. Woebus and he has made
numerous unsuccessful attempts to
have the courts consider his claim.
In the police records of this country
and Europe the name of Max Shinborn
is written large as a daring, expert and
successful safeblower. Ii is estimated
that in the series of burglaries commit
ted by his gang more chan $1,000, 600
was stolen within ten years.

GREAT DAMAGE
DONE BY STORM
Loss in Texas by the Floods
Estimated in the Neighbour
/. hood of ST 100000.

Fort Worth, Tex, April 19-The indi-
cations today are that the storm which
has prevailed for the past several days
in northern Texas is about over.
The loss is estimated at more than
sl,00O,000. The waters are receding al
most as fast as they came up, and with
no more rain within two or three days,
avenues of travel will be reopened and
business Will move again.
At this time, however, the Texas &
Pacific transcontinental line is cut in
two. There has been no train in from
California or out to the west since Fri
day morning, and the most optimistic
of the railroad officials do not hope to
reopen traffic before Tuesday.
Miles of Track Gone.
The st. Louis & San Francisco has
lost miles of track between this city
and Brady, and one great steel bridge
over the Leon river is reported to have
been destroyed. Traffic has been aban-
dOned entirely on the Fort Worth di
vision.
The Forth Worth & Denver City has
escaped actual washOuts, but all trains
are running late. The Atchison, Tope-
ka & Santa Fe is in fair condition ex-
cept between Paris and ClebuTne.
where it has suffered many washOuts.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas is also
open and moving trains on delayed
schedules.
The Rock Island has abandoned it's
Dallas-FOrt Worth service entirely on
account of the soft track and the cuts
caving in.
At the passenger station of the Texas
& Pacific here today hundreds of trav-
elders passed the day like a great camp,
waiting for traffic to be reopened
High Water Mark at Waco.
At Waco the Brazos river reached its
high-water mark at p. m. today,
when the gauge showed thirty-five feet.
East Waco was inundated by the
breaking of a levee. Farms in the low
lands are greatly damaged, and hun
dreds of head of livestock have been
dOrwned.
The situation is serious there, and
the worst of the rise is yet to reach
that point. The Cotton Belt has lost
many of its bridges, and it is not at
tempting to run trains.
The crest of the food reached Fort
Worth about noon TO day, and two
hours later the water began to recede,
the rainfall ceasing. At the time the
City park and vicinity was inundated
to a depth of about ten feet Between
Fort Worth and North Fort Worth,
where the packing houses are located,
the water reached a depth of six to
seven feet. Fully 5000 persons. prin-
cipally of the poorer classes. were
driven from their homes in the sub
merged district.

LEARNED BEFORE.

After hiding for two years in the
"Hole-in-the Wall country, thirty
,mies west of Green River, Emery
county. Utah, Oscar Z. Wells, alias Lo-
rell Cruel, an alleged Oregon horse
thief was captured OH Saturday by
Deputy Sheriff AxeI H. Steele of Salt
Lake. Sheriff Pace of Emery county
and. Sheriff Robert Odell of Vale, Ore
He was brought to Salt Lake yesterday
and departed in custody of Sheriff Odell
on the 11;45 o'clock Oregon Short Line
train last night for Oregon, to stand
trial for his alleged crimes.
Under the name of Oscar Z. Wells,
the man lived for many years at Vale.
Ore. Several years ago horse owners
began TO complain of the activities of
a hOTsethief Valuable animals were
constantly disappearing, and conditions
became 50 bad that the ranchers of the
vicinity dared not turn their horses out
upon the range without having some
person stationed to watch them.
The operations of the horsethief con-
tinued despite the watchfulness of the
Tanchers. The daring rObber even en-
tered pastures close to ranch houses
to carry off horses.
Suspicion on Wells.
At last suspicion fell upon Wells, who
seemed to have constant supply of
money from some mysterious source,
and who was known to make frequent
and unexplained trips away from
Vale. He was watched. and il is alleged,
evidence was obtained against him
which showed that ne had carried off
fOrty-One head of work horses.
He was arrested and indicted by an
nd frTrz n iC iris E.s
was released on bail. He promptly
dropped out of sight.
Not long ago rumOrs reached Vale
that a man resembling Wells had been
seen in the "Hole-in- the Wall country
near Green River.
Sheriff OdeIl decided TO come to Utah
and see the man who looked so much
like the alleged hOrsethief.
In Salt Lake he spoke of his errand TO.
Deputy Sheriff AXel Il. Steele, and
the deputy sheriff expressed willingness
to go with OdelI into the supposed hid
ing place of the fugitive. At Green
River they were Joined by Sheriff Pace
of Emery county.
Into the Interior.
The thirty miles into the interior
were made in wagon. The man hunt
ers were heavily armed. as they knew
harbored many daring and dangerous
men. They also knew that there was
possibility that Wells might have
! friends who would rally to his side If
he undertook TO resist arrest
The trip into the e-in-the Wall
country proved UneVentful, so far as
shooting scrapes were concerned.
Wells was found upon a small ranch
near the bad lands. He was going I'M
der the name of LOTeIl Cruel.
He recognized Sheriff Odell as soon
as he saw the oregon officer. but made
no attempt to escape. The little party
that set out after him was agreeably
surprised at this and took him to
Green River as quickly as possible. SO

attempt at rescue from the mans COM
