FOUR KILLED IN A CLOuDBURST
Two Miles of Streets Destroyed by
Torrent-Gas Plant and Six 9th

ST. Louis, Mo.-Four persons were
drowned at Alton, ILL.,, by cloudburst
which destroyed two miles of streets,
wrecked six buildings and the gas
plant of the Alton Gas & Electric
company, with total property loss
Of $25O,OOO.
The cloudburst followed a spectacu-
lar storm which lasted all night. A
heavy cloud passed over the city three
times, flooding streets and cellars
each time.
Sewers broke almost Immediately,
washing away the foundations of six
residences which dropped into the cell
lars. A culvert under the gas plant
of the Alton Gas & Electric company
was washed out, permitting the entire
plant to drop several yards
That more lives were not lost was
due to the heroic efforts of William
Doty, who ran through the streets
ahead of the water, breaking windows
with bare hands and awakening sleep
ing families in time to permit them
to reach safety.

INDIAN LAND CASES SETTLED
THE cHocTAW AND CHIcKAsAW
DEEDS WILL STAND.
Most important Decision Ever Rem

Valuable Allotment.

Muskogee, Oklahoma-Tn the fed

PENDANTS in 1000 cases, involving
lands in the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations and the deeds of the Indians
to the white men will stand. In 12,-
900 other cases the court, it is under
stood, will override the demurrers, of
the defendants.
1t was announced that 10000 cases
had already been settled out of court
prior to the days proceedings and in
these, 1000 tracts of land were deed
ed back to the Indians, and in 5000
cases the white men won their land.
When the court convened in the af-
ternoon it resembled a meeting of
the state bar association. There
we're 161 attorneys present, each rep
resenting from ten to 100 clients
The cases won by the white men
were under the decision of the United
States supreme court in the Mullens
case, which held that deeds taken to
fullblood land allotted prior to April
26, 1896, and after the death of the
allottee, were valid. In about 500
cases in the Seminole nation, where
freedmen had sold their surplus land,
the white men also won their cases.
The decision of the court, both in
point of value of property involved
and the number of litigants and at
torneys was by far the most important
ever made in the state.
BY one stroke the court placed 12s
900 cases on the trial docket, and by
another dismissed approximately 2,
500. Each case involves an Indian al.
lotment worth from $500 to $1,000.

fog caused a wreck in which thir-
teen persons were killed and between
fifteen and twenty injured on the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
at Western Springs, a suburb of Chi
cago, at $3.50 a.. m.
With supposedly a clear track
ahead, train No. 8, a fast mail, ran at
full speed into the rear of No. 2,
known as the Overland express from
Denver, which was standing still on
the track, telescoping two of the
Overlands Pullman cars.
All of the dead except Brownson,
the engineer, were taken from the
rear coach of the Denver train. The
engine of No. plowed through this
car, halving it and crushing out the
lives of helpless passengers, many of
whom still were in their berths. On
into the second coach the engine then
sped. Half way through that car it
veered to the left, derailing the Sleep
er. The engine was entirely stripped
when it stopped.

In the sleepers Immediately broke
out. Many victims, pinioned by heavy
timbers and iron bars that had been
torn from the engine, pleaded for
death or deliverance from the flames.
Members of the fire departments of

on the scene within a few minutes
after the wreck occurred, and they
put out tie fire with lines of hose.

1t is said that some OF the city

amicable agreement will be reached
with the commission. East Orange
objects to an assessment based on
the ratables of the city, which is
larger than all the other Oranges
put together, and wants the ex-
pense placed on the amount of use of
the big fiume.
Plans have progressed with Orange
and Montclair for a separate plant,
and even If Orange and Montclair
should drop out of the scheme 1t is
likely that the city will go ahead
and build a plant itself rather than
submit to the assessment asked by
the commission.
