\ SCORE 0F VICTIMS
An Ensuing Flood Submerged the Wreck of the Town of Key West--The Destruction Preceded by Strange Phe- -nomena in the Afternoon.

Oklahoma City, May 29.-At least twenty-two persons were killed in a tornado that devastated the Oklahoma towns of Key West and Depew, and forty or more were injured. At least ten were killed in Key West. That figure is confirmed by a number of people who fled before the storm. Five are dead at Depew. The tornado swept over wide stretch of farming coun- try. Wires are down and many ru- mors of death and destruction at iso- lated points cannot be confirmed to- night.
 Following the wind came a deluge of rain. The floods then added to the terrible situation. The wreckage of Key West soon was overwhelmed by the rising waters. Practically nOth- ing was left of the town of 200 inhab- itants. Rescuers hastened to the place. but could not cross Salt Creek, which had become a raging torrent. A few inhabitants of Key West crossed the stream before the rise made it inn passable. They confirm reports that at least ten negroes were killed and twice that number injured. Among the injured is a young woman named Brace. She was in the post office when ,the building was blown away. She was seriously hurt.
 The residence of J. I. Hart was de- molished after being rolled over half dozen times with the occupants in side. Every member of the family was injured. Mrs. Hart's back was broken, a little girls leg was wrenched from her thigh, and Hart and two children were seriously injured.
 Depew was destroyed by a double twister that was formed from that striking Key West and from another coming from the east. The tornado wiped out Depew and then pushed northeast, presumably spending it's force few miles further on. At an early hour this afternoon was witnessed a most unusual phenomena. Small tornadoes rapidly followed one another. They rose high into the air
 circled about and dipped. As many as five were observed during the dis
 play.
 The little tOrnadoes had spent their force when. the big one came along at o'clock. Preceding and fellowiue were terrific rain and hair The
 streets of Stroud and Sapulpa sOou were veritable rivers. A newspaper
 man tried at 10 o'clock tonight c. reach Key West, but was turned bac.S by the high waters. At II o'clock he
 started for Depew. Not a wire is

MADDEN CONVICTED OF STRIKE GRAPHING
THE DEFENDANT ALMOST COL
 LAPSED.
He Regards Himself as Martyr to
 Unionism.

Chicago, May 29.-After fOrty-siX hours of almost constant wrangling the iury in the case of Martin B. Madden, M. J. Boyle and F. A. Puchot, the la bor leaders. charged with strike graft ing, brought in a verdict today inning each of the defendants $500.
 The long delay is said to have been due to the inability of the twelve men to find a common ground of punish ment. Madden almost collapsed when inc verdict was read. He was scarcely able to speak. but finally managed to state that he considered the verdict had thing for unionism.
 Reports of attempts to influence the irrv in behalf of the defendants were rife about the criminal court building durinp the afternoon States Attorney Wavman visited the grand jury room and later a. large number of subpoe- mas were issued
 The case was bitterly contested. foi years there have been rumors or IT, regularities in the calling and settllne of strikes in Chicago. Last winter the r1imors took concrete form and the ln- dictment of Madden, Puchot ana Boyls followed.
 The men were brought to trlal or an indictment charging conspiracy U extort and the extortion of the sun of 5000 from Klicka through George s.

MONEY MADE N LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.

w. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
II have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels Of
oats.
1T was the first week of May when I
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in
their crops, so only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as it was late not to put in much
wheat, SO I put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds Of veg
etables grow well up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre, for which I got 76
cents, others got 80 cents; oats
threshed IS bushels per acre, for which
got IS cents per bushel. You see
was three weeks late in getting them
In, still was satisfied.
Prom my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
tor such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter,
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass

ships had at last got out into the open
sea after their ludicrous battle with
the British trawlers on the Dogger
banks they had to put into every neu-

spent at Madagascar in retitting, yet
during all that time, SO Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's second in command has
testified, none of the crews of any of
the Russian war ships was drilled in

In short, nothing could be more diff

around Africa and up into the China
seas and our own proud record while
our 16 battleships, two cruisers, six
torpedo boats and an auxiliary fleet

Significant Historical Fact.
To the historian it cannot but ap-
pear as a significant thing that all
other previous great cruises in his
tory, with the exception of those I'm.
dertaken by English-speaking sailors,
have only resulted in disaster and
shame. There was the great cruise
OF the Spanish armada, for instance,
launched against England by Philip IL
of Spain, which ended in such utter
rout and disaster.
About the same time in the far east
the Japanese conqueror, Hideyoshi, I'M
dertook to subjugate Korea and China

war junks, many of them armed with
brass cannon, yet his fleet, too, was
overcome in fair fight by the COM
bined war fleets Of China and Korea.

many famous cruises in history, but
none that can compare, either in mag

to the great world cruise just finished
by our fleet.
When Admiral Rojestvensky took
his doomed ships from the Baltic to
the Sea of Japan, this was heralded
to all the world as the greatest armed
cruise in history, and so it was up
to that time. Yet apart from the sim
gular fact that these Russian fighting
ships were foredoomed to disaster,
what a miserable achievement it was
as compared to the magnificent, resist
less, onward sweep of our own fight
