Whereas recent law permitting payment of delin-

CONTINUED from last week.
There was in the Callahan
farm in the fall of 1892, not
including the original home
stead on the reservation 284S
acres more or less. Nine hun
dred of the acres were fenced
in pasture: above 1900 acres
were cultivated as perfectly
as land could be cultivated,
devoted to the production Of
wheat, rye, oats, barley-alSo
plenty of corn was raised on
the SuInerfallow-and hay.
The few remaining acres were
in hog pasture, barn yards,
gardens, etc. Besides that
land fenced in ordinary wire
fence, 1160 acres were inclos-
ed in high quality woven wire
fence, built with the utmost
care and pains. There were
cultivated land, hay land,
pasture; all fenced and ar
ranged for efficiency in
working and for the utmost
production.
The set OF buildings were
adequate but not exceptional.
There was a good barn, granaT-
| les, machine sheds, . hog house
and chicken coops. The farm house
was not pretentious but sufficient.
The Galatians were paying 3oV
their farm before investing IN ex"
pensive buildings; their money
went as fast as made, either to
the Union Central Life Insurance
Company Of Cincinnati, OK into
such improvements in the farm
plant as would promote productiV-
ity and profit. There was no play
ing to the galleries in the way Of
style or display. The buildings On
the farm are estimated by Hurshei
Callahan as worth IN the neigh
fborhood Of $4,000.
AS said before, but repeated foI
emphasis, the Galatians, in spite
Of drouth and crop failure, with
what they made on the, outside
still produced enough 70 support

Atlanta, Ca, April 6 (AP)
-Tornadoes claimed nearly 100
lives-perhaps 2OO-and heavy
property damage in the South
today, levying the greatest toll
at the cities Of Tupelo, Miss,
and Gainesville, Ga.
Seventy-one bodies were recovered
at Tupelo and a score were killed
in half a dozen other towns Of Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Arkansas, South
Carolina and Tennessee.
How many died at Gainesville was
a subject of frantic speculation as
repair crews labored to restore COM
munication lines.
Fire Adds to Horror.
Fire added to the horror of the
twister in Tupelo and Gainesville.
With water pressure gone, power
lines and gas connections twisted
awry, firenen struggled against heavy
odds to hold the flames Of shattered
dwellings in check while rescue work
ers toiled through the ruins seeking
the dead and injured.
The dead in other communities:
Bonneville, Miss, four.
Lacrosse, Ark, one.
Red Bay, Ala, five.
Columbia, Tenn, area, six.
Elkwood, Ala, three.
Anderson, s. c., one.
The storm first struck Lacrosse,
Ark, killing one person, then roared
east into Tupelo in northeast Missis-
sippi.
Bonneville, Miss, was next to be
struck.
To Northeast.
From there the storm rushed north
eastwardly into Red Bay, Ala, then
veered into the Armour Mines, Har-
Ian mines and Cross Bridge villages
in the Tennessee hills, near Columbia
j. P. Nanny, mayor of Tupelo, said
the dead and injured were pulled
from the wreckage of their homes for
hours and it was feared many yet I'M
reached were trapped and injured or
killed.
Thirty-three bodies lay in the city
hall, turned into a morgue.
Churches, hotels and other places
were coverted into hospitals.
One-third of the city;s houses were
piled up in the streets. Most of the
business district escaped.
Heavy Toll at Gainesville.
G. c. Reed, manager of the Gaines
Vile telephone company, drove to the
nearby town Of Buford and reported
to Atlanta that "there is no way of
telling how many persons may have
lost their lives. There will be a death
toll and it may he heavy
Reed said two buildings in the bus
mess district were centers Of fires,
and that the local fire department in
the city hall was helpless, because it
was blocked in by wreckage of the
city hall and other buildings.

Supreme Court refused today to inter-

the congressional resolution barring
payment Of obligations in gold does
not prohibit collection of the equival-

This left in effect a ruling by the

the st. Louis Southwestern Railway
Company had to pay $42 on a $25
coupon payable in gold, or the equival-

The Federal district court for south
