Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 22.--The
official estimate of the dead in the
hurricane and tidal wave which Wis
tied the western part of Jamaica
places the number at more than 100
in the coast towns alone. Details
gradually coming in indicate thai
there was great devastation in the
western section.
Practically all lighters, coastins
sloops and small craft in the har
bors of Green Island, Montego Bay
Lucea and Savanna La Mar found
cred and large proportion of the
crews were drowned
Many persons living in these
towns lost their lives in the col
lapse of buildings.
The houses of the American col
ony at Montego Bay were damaged
but no casualties are reported. The
governor general of Jamaica, ,Sil
Sydney Olivier, reached Montege
Bay yesterday and found conditions
so direful that he Immediately or.
dered the despatch of several hun
dred additional tents and large
quantities of food supplies from
Kingston. The railway lines are
now working within twenty miles Of
Montego Bay, but the telegraph
lines are still, disorganiZed.
The tidal wave at Savanna La Nal
was the highest in a century. One
coasting vessel was washed half a
mile up the main street. Fully SO
per cent of the houses were blown
down during the hurricane. The
principal hotels were unroofed, as
were all the churches and the rail
way depots. The sea swept over the
streets in the lower section of the
town and rows Sof dwellings were
piled up in a gigantic heap at the
mouth of a gully where the largest
number of the bodies were recover
ed. An American tourist, who hap
pened to be in that town during
the hurricane, said forty bodies had
been recovered up to the time of his
departure.
At Green Island, eighteen miles
southwest Of Lucea, the American
said, there was much wreckage
ashore and afloat, but no sign Of life
could be discerned.
At Lucea, ten dead bodies we're
found directly after the storm had
subsidized.

Enroute to Los Angeles.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: Leaving
San Francisco in the early morning
we made the daylight run to the city
of angels. Along the Southern Pa
cific Ry., south of Frisco, the valley
is more productive than as we APP
proach the city, and close in, there
seems to be some rather poor graz
ing lands with here and there large
dairy herds picking a precarious liv-
ing from the apparently dead past
ures, but of course we know there
are seasons in Iowa when the past
ure's supply is none too plentiful.
The problems. are still unsolved in
my mind--how such high priced
| land can profitably pay out when
held for grazing purposes, and how
the present and future milk and
butter questions, in their immens-
ity, can be met by the great cities.
Some of the farmers raise grain-hay
crops, which would seem to help out
on the forage supply, and the small
| fields of corn have been topped leav-
| ing but a short stalk to mature the
ear.
Our San Jose relatives were sum-
mering on the coast, and our time
being limited, we did not stop off,
| but this valley seems very produc-
! tive, the Santa Clara prune product
lis famous the world over, acres of
trays of which were seen drying in
the sun. The Vineyards along the
| line are not vineyards" in fact but
little trees. The grape lump is
about two feet high and the fruit is
borne on the new branches which
spring almost umbrella-shaped from
| the top Of the stalk. If this method
of pruning were successful in the
Mississippi valley 1t would obviate

and they have the appearance Of our

HORSE BUYER
RUNS AMUCk
AT C0WR|E
M. S. Moore, Stranger, Killed by
Marshal Woods in Re- 49,
volver Duel. d..
HE FIRED UPON THREE.
Aged Man Pulled Gun On Man
Who Sold Him Ami

Gowrie, Ia, Nov. 22.-Merrel S.
Moore, aged 65, supposed to have
been demented, was shot and in
stantly killed here early last night
by Marshal Woods after he had fired
Eve shots at Oscar Berg, Fred Gard
ner and the marshal himself for APP
parently no reason at all. Moore
ran amuck when he met Berg on the
street.
Moore came here yesterday from
parts unknown and bargained with
Berg for a horse, which he finally
purchased for $50, paying 81 down
He demanded a receipt for his dollar
and got it, although it was noticed
that he was conducting himself
queerly. p.
Shortly after dark Berg and Gard.
ner met Moore on the street. The
latter pulled out his revolver and fir
ed several shots at the two, but his
aim was poor and they escaped I'M
injured. A few minutes later Woods
came upon the scene and ordered
Moore to halt. The latter said he
was an officer and that he was not
to be arrested, punctuating his re.
marks with a couple of shots in the
direction of the officer. The latter
then opened fire, almost instantly
killing the man who was running
amHck.
Nothing is known of Moore here.
He purchased pair of overalls at a
store yesterday morning and wrote
upon the package the name of "Mer-
rel S. Moore, Lincoln, Neb." Other
than this the local authorities have
no clue as to his identity.
This is the second shooting scrape
within the past two weeks. Mar
shall 3. B. McFarlan, for whom
Woods, is subbing, was shot and SER
ious1y wounded last week while at
tempting to arrest three suspicious
characters He is recovering from
his wounds in the hospital.
McFarlan detected what was prob
ably an attempt to blow safe here
and was shot near where Moore was
killed last night. The shooting
caused much excitement and suspic-
ious characters have been watched
closely since the three men turned
upon the marshal last week and fir
ed a bullet through his body.

London, Nov. 22.-The formal
suspension of the eastern war prov
ed only for a day. Turkey rejected
the Balkan terms for an armistice,
apparently before the plenipoten-
tiaries had time to come together at
Hademkeui.
Kiamil Pasha, the grand vizier,
declared the allies overtures were
impossible" He ordered the COM
mander-in-chief, to continue fighting
with the help Of the Almighty" un-
til reasonable and moderate condi-
lions were proposed.
This decision came as an utter
surprise and diplomats are now
wholly convinced that the Ottoman
troops will really take up arms
again in the cholera stricken tren-
ches Of Tchatalja.
While the Bulgarian conditions
for Bulgaria is acting as the mouth
piece for the allies-were extreme,
stipulating the surrender OF Adrian
ople and Scutari, both of which
strongholds are making an historic
defense, as well as the cession of
all the territory except narrow
strip above Constantinople, these
conditions were advanced as over
lures; in other words, they we're ap-
parently put forward as a basis for
negotiations.
The porte treated them as an ul-
timatum, and this perhaps is the or
iental method of bringing negotia-
tions, designed to induce the enemy
further to show his hand. A Bal
kan diplomat in London pointed out
last night that these terms were
submitted merely as an answer to
Turkeys pressing and repeated de-
mands for an armistice, and said:
TT is practically certain that
their rejection will result in more
active and determined resumption of
hostilities. Probably the allied
troops will now refuse to treat with
Turkey until they are in a position
to dictate perhaps sterner terms in
the capital of the sultan
The negotiations thus far have
been conducted through the Rus
sian ambassador at Constantinople,
but the Turkish ambassador at Ber-
lin, Osman Miami Pasha, was on
his way to join his colleagues ap-
pointed to meet the Bulgarian rep
resentatives when the Turkish gov
ernment's startling decision was tel
egraphed abroad.
Even yet 1t would seem that the
Turkish officials have not abandoned
hope that the powers will come to
their rescue and attempt to dictate
compromise, but Sir Edward Grey,
the British foreign secretary, an
nounced last night that the powers
had not gone so far as to arrange a
general conference after the conclu-
sion of the war.
Their only agreement, as far as
surface indications go. is to keep
their hands off. Yet the probability
of the resumption of hostilities has

TO HELL WITH GOVERNORS
Blease Says His Detractors Can Go

Columbia, s. C., Dec. 11-Having con- signed the Constitution to hell at the Richmond conference of the State Exc cutives, Gov. Blease, upon his return home yesterday, consigned the Cover nors who condemned his mob speech to the same torrid place.
 Those Governors who condemned me can go to the same place as the Con- stitution," said Gov. Blease. ''I hope that when those Governors have been repudiated by their people retiring them to private 1ife-I told them they soon would be-that they will realize the fact that we Southern people are not negro lovers as some of them seem to be.

 The Governor says that he is going to incorporate his speeches at Rich mond into a message to the General Assembly in order to get them into the official records of the State.
 Gov. B1ease denies he was snubbed when he visited Washington or that he was refused an invitation to the Gridiron Club dinner.
 Just newspaper lies" he says.

CHAIR FOR GRACE
Convicted of Murdering His Brother,
 The Wrestler.

Newburgh, N. r., Dec u-Anthony William Grace was convicted last night of murder in the first degree for kill ing his brother, Jack" Grace, a, wrest- Ter, September 7. Justice Tonkins sen fenced Grace to die in the electric chair during the week of January 27, 1913. The jury had deliberated only a few minutes.
 Grace beat his brother to death in a room in a Walden, N. r. club. He robbed the body, married three days later and used the stolen money to de- fray expenses for his honeymoon.
 The states contention as to a mo- tive for the murder was that Grace feared his brother would expose the fact that he was already twice mar ried and thus prevent his third we'd ding. The prosecution showed that the convicted man has wife and three children in Fall River, Mass, and a wife in Lowell Mass
