SNOW FALLS IN
THE MIDDLE WEST
Drop in the Temperature Is Reported
in Region From Dakotas to Texas
Last Saturday.

A sudden drop in temperature
throughout the country, which made it.
self felt in Chicago Saturday, is causing
heavy loss throughout the west, where
fruit trees were in bud and all vegeta-
ton well advanced.
In the great wheat states of Mime
sofa and the Dakotas the drop in tenn
perature has been sensational, accord
ing to dispatches. 1t was IS above zero
IN Minnesota, snow fell, and it is prob
able that every crop that is at all ad-
vanced will be killed. In the Dakotas
the temperature was below the freezing
point, and it is thought that it may 60
lower. The temperature was IS above
zero IN the Red river valley of Mime
sofa, and this cold wave extends as far
south as the middle of Texas. The cold
did much damage to fruit in New Mex
leo and western Texas. The snow in
that section covers a wide area. From
st. Joseph, Mo, and Omaha come the
reports that snow is falling. The
weather was at freezing all night, and
IL IS believed that the fruit and vege-
table crops will suffer.
The storm has spread over the entire
fruit region of the west, and shows no
evidence of abating. The fruit crop of
the western slope of Colorado was saved
by the use of smudge pots, by means OF
which the temperature was kept above
the danger mark.

TO ACTION
ANOTHER BOXER MOVEMENT
STARTED In CHINA.
American and British Gunboats Dis
patched to Scene-Anti- Foreign Out
break in Chang sha Is widespread,
and Government Fears More outrages
-Four Missions Destroyed.

Pekin, April Intervention by for
eign powers, similar to that of the
time of the Boxer uprising in 1900 is
believed to be imminent by government
officers as result of the anti-foreign
outbreak in Chang Sha.
Advices from there say the arrival of
British gunboat and the news of three
other British warships, the American
cruiser Cleveland, and one French gun
boat, are on their way to the scene of
the trouble, have had temporary quiet
ing effect on the natives.
The outbreak is so widespread, how
ever, that the government fears other
outrages will be committed that will
lead to foreign occupation of the city.
Four Missions Destroyed.
Four foreign missions have been de-
stroyed, the latest word being that the
Yale mission, maintained by Yale uni
versity, was burned today. The missions
had property valued at considerably
more than 100000. They were main
tanned by England and America. These
nations will demand full indemnity.
The settlement of this indemnity is
likely to prove a delicate matter of
diplomacy, although China is in no po-
sition to resist determined demand.
The gunboats and the cruiser Cleve-
land are under forced draught, and will
all be at the scene of the trouble soon.
Guard Against Mines.
The vessels have their torpedo nets
spread, fearing, mines in the Slang
Kiang.
The nature of the orders cOmmuni-
Gated to the commanders of these YES
sells has not been disclosed to the Chi
nese government. This has irritated
the government, which declares that if
it knew the intentions of the foreign
powers it might take the necessary
steps to avoid such display of naval
force.
Hankow, northwest of Chang Sha,
is filled with refugees from the rioting
city. Most of them fled with few of
their possessions. Practically all their
belongings have been lost in the fire
that destroyed the mission buildings.
Some of the Refugees.
Those who are reported to have taken
refuge in Hankow are w. H. Watson,
E. G. Cooper and wife, j. A. Alexan-
der, c. D. Little, S. Cowling, w. c.

rear end of No. 10 IS locomotive. The

Black started to toss out newspaper
sacks, but the robbers showed their ia
miliarity with the situation by detect
ing the ruse at once. They threatened
to kill Black unless he gave them regis

were forced to take the sacks to che

The engine and the mail car were
then uncoupled from the coaches filled
with sleeping passengers and run down
the track two miles. Here the mail
sacks were thrown out upon the ground,
the engine was uncoupled, it's throttle
pushed wide open, and it began its wild
journey toward the other cars filed
with passengers, at Telenas, four miles
