 According to the story of Peyton's s death told by Herman Rudolph, the ranch hand who accompanied Payton within 40 feet of the Indian camp, the deputy game warden was shot by a thirteen year old Indian lad who had been behind the horses of the redskins and not been noticed by Payton. When ,Payton told the In, dians they were undsr arrest, one of them grabbed the officer by the neck, payton shook him, of; and advised them to be peaceful, Another h. dian then uttered war whoop, pull led his rife and was about to shoot when Payton dropped him in his tracks with a bullet. Two other Indians attempted to get their guns unsheathed but. Payton killed them before hey4could get into. action. Rudolph then observed the. little h. dian lad kneeling between the horses aiming at Paytonfand he fired at the redskln, at the same time that the iatter nred at the officer. Peyton was mortaily shot and ithe Indian boy toppled over;dead.
 Ine squaws put Warden Peyton out Of his misery, according to Ru- doiph, ending his suffering by halr dozen shots from small calibre guns.
 All the mountain passes are being watched for the fleeing squaws who nave with them the bodies of their braves.

BID FOR VOTES OF THE DEAF
Taft, Bryan and Debs Would Give
 Them Government Jobs.

Utica, N. Y, Oct. 22.-The editor of the Deaf Mutes Register, publish ed at Rome, wrote recently to Messrs Taft, Bryan and Debs asking their views as to the employment ot deaf mutes in the civil service. The rules at present excludes deaf per- sons. MT Bryan has replied as fol- lows:
 While l have made it rule not to discuss questions outside my plat form, and cannot therefore attempt to make promises in regard to ques- tions that will come before me if I am elected, beg to say thattI do not understand why deafness should be regarded as conclusive bar to em- ployment when there are so many kinds of work which deaf person can do. If I am elected I shall be in a position to construe the ques- tion upon its merits and to decide 1t in harmony with the spirit of our platform, which demands justice for all" z MT Taft replied:
 
 "If there are places in the govern ment in which persons totally deaf can discharge the duties I should favor regulations permitting them to compete for such places"
 Candidate Debs's reply was:
 Your communication of the 3d inst. has been received. In reply to your inquiry I have to say that my views are in exact accord with your own in reference to the discrimina- tion against deaf mutes made by the recent ruling of the civil service commission. There Is absolutely no justification for chasing the deaf with the insane. If I should be elected president I should use all my influence in favor of the deaf along the lines suggested in your letter and to have the present unjust dis crimination entirely abolished"

 "Oh." cried Mrs. Billings in high, piercing crescendo. do they really? Pm so glad to hear it. but shouldn't think they could very well'

 People Perlshsd.

Manila, Oct. 22.-Additional re- ports of damage wrought in the CaEayan valley by the typhoon of October 12 indicates that loss of life will reach five hundred. At Aparri, where a thrilling rescue of 100 na- lives was effected through the 'hero- ism of Lieutenant Robert Clark. Lieutenant. Tredway and Postmaster Foss, the survivors say that 300 res idectns of the submerged fishing vil- lage, which is located some distance below Aparri, were swept away and drowned.
 The three Americans, aided by one Filipino volunteer, were inform- ed of the great danger that threat ened the village and managed to reach 1t by boat Approaching the shore in series of short rushes be- tween breakers that threatened at any moment to swamp their frail craft the rescuers found scores of natives clinging to othe poles of their wrecked habitations. Lieutenant Clark and Lieutenant Tredway, car, rying lines from the boat, fought their way through the breakers and swimming from house to house in the flood water saved the lives of about 100 men, women and children Sc thorough was their work that all but six ofsthose living when the boat reached the village were saved. The half dozen unfortunates in question were swept away bq the force of the water while the Americans were striving to reach them. More than fifty bodies were recovered in this locality.
 It Is reported that many were drowned at Ilagan and that the town was almost entirely destroyed
 It is feared that the storm and the resulting floods has seriously damaged the tobacco crop of the islands. The principal supply and the best quality of Philippine tobac- co is grown in the Cagayan district where two plantations report serious damage.
 Up to the present time there has been no communication established with other sections where the condi- tion of the crop .is of more import ance.
