KILLED BY CYCLONE
FOUR MEN MET DEATH AT CITY
OF ORTONvILLE, MINI.
Property Loss Very Heavy; Damage
From the Storm Will Reach One
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dol
lars; Albert Harmon, His Wife
and Nineteen Italians Are Hurt.

Ortonville Mimi, July IA nine
ty-mile cyclone, with such central
energy that it sucked water high up
out of Big Stone lake. hurled itself
fercely across that body of water
from the northwest, venting it's de-
structive forces among the railroad
yards in the eastern part of the town.
leaving behind four known dead and
twenty-one seriously injured. The
dead are:
John De Griff, an old settler, living
along the shores of Big Stone lake,
caught beneath ruins.
Three Italians, names unknown,
buried and mangled beneath railroad
cars and debris of the st. Paul road's
roundhouse.
The injured are:
Albert Harmon, employed at the
farm of w. f. Chamberlin, buried be-
meath the debris of the farmhouse.
Mrs. Harmon, both limbs broken
and probably fatal contusions about
the chest.
Nineteen Italian railroad laborers,
many with broken arms and legs,
some of whom may die, buried in the
ruins of the railroad buildings.
Many other persons throughout the
city and country received minor in
juries.
The property loss will reach $780,
900, partly confined to damage to rail
road and commercial property, private
losses aggregating about $4,000.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul depot, roundhouse, the coal sup
ply building, the warehouses and the
other warehouses which crowd that
section of the city caught the full
brunt of the cyclone and crashed with
frightful detonations before the blast,
their splintered lumber rising in a
cloud through the gyrating atmos-
phere. Cottages along the lake were
completely demolished and residences
in this city and Big Stone, s. d., were
blown from their foundations. The
farmhouse and large farm buildings
of William e. Chamberlin near the
city are a total wreck.
The city was completely isolated
from the surrounding country by the
wreck of telephone and telegraph
lines and only two or three wires have
been repaired to give this city connec-
tion with the outer world.
Reports, however, coming into this
city indicate that the cyclone visited
its most terrific force upon the east
ern part of this city and no fatalities
or serious injuries are expected from
the surrounding country.

Mrs. w. r. White had the misfor-
tune to lose her purse Saturday after
noon, containing a gold watch anu
chain and $l4 to SIS in money. She
had just come in from GAINESVILLE, and
was met by her son, John A. White,

home she became fatigued and sat
upon the north postoffice steps to rest,
and as she did so her son laid the
purse upon the balustrade. When they
went on Mr.. White forgot to take the
purse, and when he retraced his steps
to get it it was gone. A. G. Lack
remembers having seen. it lying upon
the stone buttress as he passed shortly
after the Whites left, and he supposed
that it had been left by someone who
had gone in to mail letter.

Case of Mixed
Suit Cases

A case of mixed suit cases re-
suited in difficult complications
last night, which were finally un-
ravelled by the police authorities.
Mrs. Joe Hoffman, of Port Towns
end, passed through the city on
her way to Portland, and left her
suit case in Wynkoop's drug store
while she looked about the city.
Soon afterward, a stranger enter
ed the store, and picked up the
suit case, evidently thinking 1t
was his own.
There was another suit case of
similar design beside Mrs. Hof-
mans. When the woman re-
turned, she opened the remaining
suit case to procure a handker-
chief, and was amazed to find a
quart bottle of Old Rye placed
upon the top of a pile of mems
The suit case was taken to the
police station, and In a short time
a young man entered with a suit
case which he said contained a
mess of women's fixins." The
exchange was made and all went
away happy.

TAKING POLES
FROM STREETS

City Electrician Lauzon is a
determined friend of the program
for the elimination of unsightly
telegraph poles from the streets
of the city. Already In his admin
istration he has brought down a
lot of them and he is after more.
This morning he went out on
Center street and put in the morn
ing. investigating coalitions with
a view to having the T. r. & p.
company take out all its poles and
use the city light poles for its
wires, thus eliminating one line
or poles from the street entirely.
= The street railway will have to
move all its poles for the paving
of the street anyway and the cleo
trician will take advantage of the
occasion to try to get rid of them
entirely.

(By United Press Leased Wfre.)
SALEM, Ore, Feb. 27.-Gov-
ernor Chamberlain left the execu-
tive mansion at 9:15 this morn
ing and practically ceased to be
governor. He left his resigna-
tion in the hands of his private
secretary, Mrs. c. B. Shelton, who
has the state of Oregon in her
hands. Chamberlain will soon
leave for Washington to take up
the duties of United States SEN
ator.
Mrs. Shelton, in answerin g
some, perhaps rather impertinent
questions, as to how it felt to be
governor, said, as she pushed a
dainty shoe from beneath her
skirt:
81 want to fill the governors 8
shoes, and he really has small
foot. I fear the principal trouble
will be in trying to fill his hat. 4"
The governors resignation will
be filed at 4 o'clock Monday and
the only woman who ever presid-
ed over the destinies of state
will go out of business at that
hour, and Secretary Benson will
become governor.

FINE FOR
METTLER
AND ME
HOUSE REPEALS STATE AID
LAW, OPENING WAY FOR
COMMISSIONERS TO GET
MORE PATRONAGE.
(Times Special Service.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 27.-The coun-
ty commissioners scored heavily
in the house when the state road
aid law was repealed, as far as the
lower body was capable of doing
SO. There is better than an even
chance that. the repeal will not
go through the senate and that
the cause of good roads in the
state will not suffer a serious set
back.
Under the state road aid law
the state built road in counties
paying so per cent of the cost un-
der certain conditions. 1t was a
good law for the people who
wanted the roads, but it did work
a hardship on the county COM
missioners who were not allowed
to have anything to say about the
building.
1t took desirable amount of
patronage from their hands and
this of course closely approxi-
mates an outrage. The outrage
consists in depriving the county
commissioners of the right to put
a. iot Va doiC-uOuiCu VOICIo " WOTh
just when and where 1t would do
the most good. -
And the county commissioners
of the state aren't taking. any
chances, for they have secured
Senator Blair of San Juan for the
champion in the introduction OF. a
bill which will permit them to
build roads costing less than $500
without advertising for bids and
letting contracts
Incidentally where contracts
have to be let, the county COM
are g dowed with fine
discriminatory power which spe-
may take the form of
doing. the work by day labor, after
having formally rejected any and
all bids. This will help out
greatly in a few months before
election time when honest voters
who need work will, in their graf
itude, undoubtedly vote for those
who furnish them chance to
labor.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. =
Although it is improbable that

members of congress today are
discussing the possibility of hold
ing such a convention.
Set for September.
The convention or conference
lis proposed to be held next Sep

suggested as the most available
place for the meeting of delegates
from all the civilized countries
of the globe. In sending his mes
sage to congress calling the gem

welt said:
II have deemed it my duty to
witness and act upon the far-see-
ing suggestion of the North
American Conservation congress,
recently held, and have accord
ingly addressed such an invitation
to the nations of the world, in the
confident belief that such a meet

strengthen our belief that the
