WOULD SEIZE WEST
 VIRGINIA PROPERTY
MOTHER STATE WANTS TO SELL SUFFICIENT PROPERTY TO
 GET PAYMENT OF DEBT.
ASK AID OF SUPREME COURT
Debt in Question Existed Before the Separation of the States-Only Pre- eedent For Order Asked Is in the
 Suit of the Dakotas.

Washington.-Virg formally re- quested the Supreme Court to direct the marshal of the court to seize and sell sufficient of the property of West Virginia to pay off the $12,393 900 judgment in settlement of the old state debt existing before the separation Of the states. The application was taken under consideration.
 Only one precedent exists for the order, that by which the marshal was directed to sell from the capital steps sufficient property belonging to North DaKota to satisfy a judgment against that state awarded in favor of South Dakota. The judgment was paid, however, before the day of sale.
 The judgment obtained by South Dakota against North Dakota was based on bonds issued by the latter and which had come into the hands of South Dakota.
 Attorney General Lilly of West Vir- ginia formally opposed the issuing Of an order of sale. He informed the court that the West Virginia Legisia, ture had not been in regular session since the Supreme Court had rendered judgment and consequently the mat ter had not been adequately consid- cred. He further declared that West Virginia owned no property other than that devoted exclusively to a public use and that no property devoted to such use could be levied upon or sold under execution.

FOUR DIE AT HOT SPRINGS

Hot Springs.-Reports filtered into 1 the city of the death out in the conn., try Of T. Lee Parker, Dock Parker,
 his invalid son; James H. Jordan. Woodchopper, and Jim Brown, negro, and the probable serious injury of
 others out in the country, as the result of a storm which swept across this county, injuring probably 200 homes on the fringe of Hot Springs, render ing out of commission the electric light and power plant. damaging to many thousands of dollars the Oak lawn racing plant, demolishing entire ly the grandstand and fences of the Boston American ball park training grounds, damaging two Methodist churches in the outskirts ana com. pletely demolishing 30 homes in the city. The storm broke about o'clock over the southeast portion of the city, following closely the path of the storm of last Thanksgiving afternoon. Ex. cept for the fact that the former storm resulted in Il lives lost and about 20 seriously injured, the storm was much more damaging. There were many r~ports of damage out in the country, but it is not t.lieved that the casualty list will be added to. The damaging of the power plant and the fact that the electric car service and lighting plant of the city is out of com mission leaves the city in darkness,

CYCLONES SWEEP WIDE.

Faystteville.-Mrs. Ed Wilson | ueau and b n-,rs6ns are i1,iured snme probably seriously, as result of a cyclone that swept a half mile area one and a half miles east of Green land. Greenland is located six miles south of Fayetteville, in Washington County. Mrs. Wilson was in her resi- denee when the cyclone struck the building, utterly demolishing it. Her husDand, two sons and another boN Will Gabbart, who has made his home with the Wilson's for the past several was destroyed. Their escape from death is miraculous, since the build- ing was total wreck after the cy- clone hit it. MT. Wilson and the boys are badly hurt, but it is believed that they wIll recover. Mrs. Wilson's limbs were broken in several places, her body was bruised all over and she was internally injured.
 Details from the stricken area are lacking But it is known that four or five members of the Cordrew family living on the Riggs plantation were badly hurt and that several members of family named Lewis in the same vicinity were injured. Five dwelling [ houses on the c. w. Riggs hog ranch | were demolished by the cyclone and [ also a barn on the Lottie Stone farm and barn on the Ike Combs place.
