Cuthbert, Ca, March 11.-Torna-
do-swept Cuthbert is rallying from
the effects of the disaster, which left
/. many of its people without food and
shelter, though little outside help has
as vet been received.
The county's conyicts are assisting
in the work Of clearing up the
streets, while lawyers. bankers and
other business men are working side
by side with negro carpenters and
brick-layers.
Hundreds of visitors from nearby
towns are in the city and are work
ing manfully with the people trying
to clear away the rubbish and pre-
pare the ground for temporary
structures to house the homeless peo-
pie.
Many Buildings Destroyed.
1t Is said that by actual count 2SG
frame buildings went down and %
brick stores were razed by the aw-
ful wind. Not enough stores are lefs
in town to shelter the houseless mer
chants, and their stocks are being
guarded in open lots by extra police
men while temporary shelters are be-
ing erected for them.
AS the time passes, the property
loss seems to increase rather than
decrease, and now it is said that
$5O0,000 will hardly cover the loss.
The Confederate monument and
every tree in Central Park are blown
down, the monument being broken
in pieces.
The winds swept the Western cem-
etery and razed nearly every large
monument there.
So far, six negroes are dead, and
it is thought that several more will
die. About 25 negroes are badly
hurt. OF the white people j. II. Far

Two Women Injured.
Mr.. Farmers residence was blown

by flying timbers, his leg broken and
serious internal injuries received.
Miss Alice Price and Mrs. Rosa
McDuffie were badly hurt in Mrs.
McDufiie's house, which was blown

irrigation projects are under con.

patch giving it's sustance as follows:
An important announcement has been
made by the secretary Of the interior
with reference TO the Interpretation to
be placed upon the phrase in the rec

motive for the eclam alton act will
make habitable arid lands for actual
homebuilders, provided that in order
to obtain a water right the applicant
must reside on the land or in the
neighbOrhOod. In connection with
most projects so far undertaken this
term has been construed to mean
twenty miles.
Since actual operations have be-
gun, however, railroad lines have
been extended to practically all the
projects, and it is found people can
live in nearby towns while developing
lands on projects with a view to es-
tablishing their residence thereon at
a later date. On many projects it re-

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER,
Wade G. Hart Must Serve Six Years
In State Prison.

The jury in the case of Wade G.
Hart, who was charged with murder
in the first degree, concluded there
were some extenuating circumstances
connected with killing of John Kolzac,
and concluded to return a verdict OF
~manslaughter against the defendant,
fixing the penalty ut six years In the
state prison. The jury retired at 5
O'Clock Thursday evening and did not
reach an agreement until 2 O'Clock
Friday morning. 1t is understood
that several ballots we're taken before
an agreement could be effected, two OF
the jurors on the first ballot favor
ing conviction of murder in the first
degree, as charged in the information.
The testimony of the witnesses as to
the shooting Of Kolzsc did not differ
materially from the story told at the
time the crime was committed, but the
defenda ant gave his version of the
aft air in q manner that counted large
iy in his favor. He stated that Kolzac
aod himself had trouble regarding the
purchase of some horses from Horace
Brewster, 4 transaction with which
defendant VAS connected only To the
extent of making GU. a DILL of sale.
kolzac, it appears, Concluded he had
been jobbed in the deal, and blamed
defendant for the deception.
According to the defendant, Kolzac
abused him for the alleged swindle on
various occasions, and at the time
of the shooting was in a drunken con-
dition and renewed the quarrel. The
defendant declared that when Kolzac
grabbed him and attempted to take
bis gun from him, he feared his life
was in danger, and in the excitement
of the moment fired at Kolzac to pro.
tect himself. AS the defend ant had
previously borne q good reputation,
the jury was disposed to believe his
story, and gave him the benefit in re-
turning q compromise verdict.

DEATH OF MATT CARROLL.
A Montana Pioneer Who Laid Out
Townsite Of Fort Benton.


Early day residents of this vicinity
will receive with regret the news Of the
death Of Matthew Carroll, the we'll
known Montana pioneer, which took
place In Helena Wednesday. Mr..
Carroll vas about y years old, and
had been suffering from the infrmities
of age for some time past.
With q residence in Montana dating
back TO 1859, Matt Carroll had q wide
acquaintance among Montana pion.
GERS and citizens generally. After his
arrival at Fort Benton 10 that year,
be entered the employ OF the post
tr raiders and remained with them until
May, 1864, when in company with
George Steele be received q cargo of
merchandise from the states and en-.
gagged In business under the firm name
| of Carroll & Steele. While waiting
for his cargo Mr.. Carroll was busy
laying out the townsite of Fort Ben
ton. With Mr.. Steele be continued in
business until 1870 and then became
interested with E. G. Maclay, George
Steele, G. A. Broadwater and others
in the Diamond r Freighting com.
pany. Mr.. Carroll remained with the
company until 1873 when be withdrew
and went to Oregon. There he bought
q band of cattle which ne brought to
Montana, locating them in the vast
grazing districts of the Teton and
Marias rivers.
He was then known as the cattle
king Of the territory. 1t is estimated
that out of his freighting and cattle
business he amassed q fortune of not
less than 800, 900. Most of this, it is
said, he lost in attempting to conduct
a freight line from Montana to Cor
inne, Utah. He was a member of the
constitutional convention in 1884 and
also participated in the Sioux expedi.
ton in 1876. He afterward opened q
store at Fort Keogh, and was q of
the first to lay out the town Of Miles
City, opening a store at that place
in 1877.
