Thousands Of Refugees Flee in
Panic for Their Lives.
THIRTEEN REPORTED DEAD IN WALLACE.
Situation In Montana and Idaho Be
comes Worse - Small Towns Are
Destroyed and Half Of Wallace Is
in Ashes - Much Suffering Among
Refugees.

Missouri, Mont. Especially Merciless-
~ and relentlessly the forest fires in
Western Montana and Idaho are sweep
ing over vast area, driving hundreds Of
fugitives before them, destroying small
settlements and wiping out Of existence
millions of dollars worth of property.
The situation is<more serious than it
was in the early morning, except as to
Wallace, idaho, where it is believed that
nearly half of the city will be saved. It
is known that the entire east half of the
town above Seventh street has been
burned
West Of that hard fight is being
made, and with an Improvement in the
water supply there is more chance that
the flames may be driven back.
Scattering reports in the nature of
rumors sent over remaining wires by tele-
graph operators at different points indi-
cate that about so lives have been lost in
Western Montana, but this is impossible
.of verifcation.
Elsewhere in the fire zone the situation
has gone from bad to worse.
The most serious incident is reported
from the st. Coe country, where $50 men
engaged in the forestry service are miss
ing and it is feared they have been burned
to death. When the fire approached the
camp where there were 200 men two of
the fighters took a horse, and riding the
animal to death reached another camp
and ordered a rescue party, which pene-
trated the fire at Bird Creek.
Eighteen of the men were found in the
water, where they had gone for safety,
and they were unframed.
OF the remaining $50 no word has been
received.
The Forestry Service has organized a
relief train, well equipped with pack ami
mals, carrying provisions and hospital
supplies, and will endeavor to get through
the fire.

DENIES OFFERING BRIDE
McMurray on Stand in Indian
Land Case.
Man Whom Oklahoma Senator
Charged With Offering Him a
Bride Also States That Vice-Presi-
dent and Senator Curtis Were Not
Interested.

Sulphur, Okla. Especially ut has
been charged that you, through Jake Z.
Hamon, offered Senator T. P. Gore S25,
600 or $4,000 as bride to influence him
in Congress to withdraw opposition to
the approval of your contracts. Did you
or did you not offer Senator Gore such a
bride 70
NO. replied j. r. McAIurray, to this
question when asked at the hearing be-
fore the congressional committee investi-
eating Indian land affairs.
Mr.. McMurray, who holds contracts
with Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians for
the sale of $30,000,000 worth of land in
this State on 10 per cent. contingent
fee basis, was on the stand all day. The
questions were propounded to him by
Cecil H. Smith, his counsel
did you ever tell any one that Vice
President Sherman had any interest in
your contracts?"
II never did, answered McMurray
did you authorize Hamon to say Mr..
Sherman was interested?"
81 did not"
did Senator Charles Curtiss, of Kan
:sas, ever have any interest in the con-
traetss''
HE never did; and I never told any
one that he did,
ssDid you ever tell anyone that Con-
gresham B. s. Mcclure had any interest
in any Of your contracts?p
Il never did"
Has any member of Congress or any
employee of any department of the gov
eminent any interest in your. contraets?"
"They have moi"
Describing his contracts as a plain
business proposition, Mr.. McAlurray told
of his relations with the Indians, begun
in 1899. In the first contracts for the
sale of the land Cecil Lyon, National
Republican Committeeman from Texas,
was partner, McMurray said. These
contracts were disapproyed by President
Roosevelt in 1908, and Mr.. Lyon ceased
to be connected with them. Mr.. McAIur-
ray said he then employed as counsel
former Senator J. M Thurston, of Ne
braska; former Senator C. /. Long, of
Kansas, and Richard G. Adams, of Wash
ington. The witness denied that he ever
offered $25. 900 as bride to D. c. McCur-
tain, a Choctaw lawyer. McCurtain had
testified that the offer had been made to
him in connection with the old tribal
contracts.
Mr.. McMurray testified that he had
called twice on Senator Gore after May
6 1.-THE date on which the Senator said
Hamon tried to bride him), and the, Sen
ator had made no reference to the alleged
offer of bribery to him. He had not
heard of it until Cores speech in the
Senate which was made on June "a.
Jacob L. Hamon, mentioned by SEN.
ator Gore as the man who offered the
bride in McMurray's behalf, took the
stand and denied he had ever made such
an offer.

EIGHTEEN LOST
on BAIILEsHIP'
British Vessel Runs on Rocks
at Full Speed.
CRUISER WILL BE A TOTAL WRECK.
The Cruiser Bedford Is Wrecked On
Quelpart Island, In the Straits Of
Korea, In a Thick Fog All the
Casualties Occurred III the Engine
Room.

London Especially - Eighteen lives
were lost when the British cruiser Bed
ford ran ashore on the rocks off Quelpart
Island, Korea, according to the report re-
ceived here by the Admiralty. The men
were members of the engine room staff.
The Bedford struck the rocks two miles
west of Quelpart Island lying about SO
miles south of,Korea off the entrance to
the Straits of Korea, during a thick fog
at o'clock Sunday morning. The cruiser
was then sailing with British squadron
from Wei Hal Wei, China, for Nagasaki.
The bottom section of the ship and the
machinery, according to wireless reports,
suffered serious damage from the rocks,
and the cruiser is pounding badly in the
high seas. "A number of Japanese war
ships, accompanied by lighters and sal
wage vessels, were dispatched from the
nearest Japanese station Immediately
upon receipt of the news of the disaster,
but whether the ship can be salvaged
is doubtful.
The vessel lies in such desperate posi-
ton that there is practically no posi-
bility of saving her. The hull is full Of
water up to the engine-room bulkhead,
the water pouring in through gaping
holes punched by the sunken rocks, and
the officers and crew have been taken off.
The sister warships Minotaur and Mon
mouth, of the British squadron, which
anchored near the wreck to render any
assistance possible, were obliged to put to
sea owing to the heavy weather which
prevails.
The accident occurred during full speed
trials of the vessel and the cruiser was
evidently badly holed, since the deaths
are stated officially to have been due to
the thrush of water.
The scene of the wreck is the Samarang
Rocks, a group of rocks about two miles
to the west of Barlow Island, which is
off the southwestern point of Quelpart
Island. Many sunken rocks are charted
in this vicinity and navigation in the
passage between Barlow Island and Gift
fard Island, its neighbor, is not recon-
mended for this reason.
The Bedford is an armored cruiser of
the so-called county" class, Of {, 800 tons,
completed in 1908. at cost Of $780,
600.
