PROPERTY LOSS ABOUT MILLION
According to figures compiled early
today, more than seventy persons
were killed and several score Injured
by the violent wind and rainstorm
rtori from Nebraska to
Ohio last night.
The property damage Is estimated
at several million dollars.
The greatest loss of life occurred In
Cincinnati and vicinity, where thirty-
two persons are known to be dead
and fifteen missing, eighteen of the
dead there being deck hands who
were drowned by the capslslng of the
towboat Convoy in the Ohio river
In eastern Missouri the storm as
sumed the proportions of a tornado,
imniinhins- monv buildings in St.
Charles, a town of about 11.000 "peo
ple. .
St. Peters, a town of 300 , in
habitants, and Ollmore, a village of
100 people, were almost wiped out
by the tornado. In St. Charles and
St Peters there was no loss of life
while in Gllmore only one person was
killed-
In Lincoln and Custer counties, Ne
braska, wind and hall caused heavy
damage to crops, and in the village
of Callaway several buildings were
unroofed. There had been no loss of
life reported early today.
In southern Illinois the storm was
severe, causing heavy damage in
many localities.
At Mound City the business part of
the town was flooded.
In central and southern Indiana
three persons were killed and many
Injured. " Telegraph and telephone
service was demoralised, buildings
.-nnroofed and crop-damaged by
tha near wind and rain.
CINCINNATI, O., July 8. Thlrtr
two persons are known to have lost
their lives in the terrible wind and
rainstorm that swept this portion of
the Ohio valley last night. That this
total of fatalities will be increased
within the next few hours appears
certain, as at least ten of those re
ported as missing are believed to be
under the ruins of five buildings
that collapsed in Sixth street, west
of Mound.
The property damage. It la estimated
will bo mora than $1,000,000. The Mat f
dead include twelve men of a crew of
eighteen of the towboat Convoy, which
went down during the storm. None of
the bodies had been recovered.
Tha storm vm equally severe over
northern Kentucky and tha property
damage there will almost equal that suf
fered by this city. Only one death has
been reported from the Kentucky aida of
tha river today. The crop damage was
heavy.

a charge of murder growing out of
the recent unearthing on a farm

said to contain $90,000. The al
leered murder is eald to have oc
curred in 1868, when a wealthy cat
tleman and his son were killed.

mall and his aliened accomplices to re

Anderson claims to hvc been employed
to dig up the money nbrut twelve yeara
ago. and told his attorney, W. W. Bul-
man of Charlton, that he had kept silent
about it because of inability to reach an
agreement with the three men regarding
division.
In preparing for the trial the attorney
disclosed facts in connection with the
operations of a notorious counterfeiters'
gang which in 186S Is supposed to have
been responsible for the death of the
cattleman. The identity of the victims
waa never disclosed.
The evidence secured was placed be
fore the attorney general's office In Des
Moines, and it was the latter who or
dered the arrest of Huntsman this aft
ernoon. The warrant was served by
State' Policeman Bronson.
The money taken from the cattleman
waa buried on the farm, and In after
years It was said by officials today Frank
and Jesse James made several visits to
the scene of the crime In an effort to
locate the treasure.

Ambassador Gerard's message trans
