Minnesota Storm Kills.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 13.-Alma
Freyer, aged 20, and Mary Bergman,
aged S, were killed by the collapse of
a barn on a dairy farm near here in
a fierce wind and rain storm late to
day. An ighteen-months-ol child
held in Miss F'reyer's arms escaped in
Jury and was found under the dead
woman's body.
The storm did considerable damage
to buildings and shade trees thorugh-
out the city. The wind was followed
by heavy rain. Much damage was
done in Minneapolis and many tele-
graph and telephone wires are down
Ralph Gillette, aged 80, son of L. S.
iGllette, president of large steel and
machinery company, was killed when
lightning struck tree under which
he had taken refuge from the storm
on the Interlachen Golf club links.
E. S. Huston, Dr. w. H. Card and Joe
Nelson, a cabby, was injured by
lightning. The latter may die.
Scores of reports of other injuries
in Minneapolis from lightning or from
wind blown signs, trees and branches
came into police headquarters.
The total damage in the north yest
is difficult to ascertain. Eau Claire,
Wis, reports one of the heaviest
storms in years, two passenger trains
on the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha railroad, are being held
there because of washouts.

Clemans was one that has never been
equalled in lodge history in this coun-

band, her drum major, and her badges,
was in evidence every minute. "You
don't see pictures of Maud in the pa

stared straight at the Illinoisan while
Kern fingered his watch chain nerv-

of interrupting Lorimer to reply to his

Lorimer read an affidavit charging
that Crawford had paid money To an

striking OIL In Southside virginia.
Up in the neighborhood OF Burke
vile. where the counties of Prince Ed
ward and Nottoway come together
and Amelia Is not far away. there is a
new development. Some Pennsylvania
people have been down there and they
think they have found evidence of oil.
They are of the opinion that they can

are so sure of it that they are WILL
ins to pay down the money fer the
oil development privileges. which
amount Of money is something moro
per acre for said privileges than the
people who own tho lands had hoped
for to pay the whole price of the land
itself. And yet some OF the owners of
this land, much OF which Is under mort
gage. haye become a little upplsh and
ore throwing all kinds OF obstacles in
the way OF the oil developers. These
people are standing very much in
their own light. They ought to sell
the oil privileges TO the Pittsburgh
folks. for these same Pittsburgh folks
propose to take all OF the chances. 1t
may be that they will not find any oil
at all. and they may fail to find any
natural gas. and they may fail to find
any minerals. but they are willing to
pay good deal of money for the
privilege of trying. and I'm that way
they Will spend great deal more
