HUNDREDS ARE DEAD
IOWA CYCLONE ATTENDED BY
APPALLING FATALITY.
It 1* Felt That the Worst Has Mot Vet
lieen Told—Telegraph Wires Down
and Fall Reports Can Mot lie
Secured.
Sioux City, la., May 8.—This section
of Iowa was visited yesterday by the
worst disaster It has ever experienced
—a cyclone, which, from tidings now
at hand, has cost hundreds of lives,
laid bare a vast stretch of fertile ter
ritory, devastated almost countless
homes, and spread ruin in numerous
towns. Railroad and telegraph lines
have been so crippled that the gleaning
of accurate Information is almost Im
possible, but It Is known that the fol
lowing towns have suffered by the
storm: Sioux Center, Ireton, Orange
City, Perkins, Doon, Mull, Sheldon, Al
ton, Ashton, Sibley, Lemars.
From most of these places fatalities
are reported. In Sioux City fifty per
sons are said to be dead; in Perkins,
forty; In Doon, ten; in Sibley, five.
Smaller towns and farming communi
ties are yet to be heard from, so it is
mournfully expected that the list of the
dead will. In the end, reach far into
the hundreds. Up to this time the
known dead are:
MRS. HERMAN BELLCAMP.
TWO BELLCAMP CHILDREN.
TWO COOMBS CHILDREN.
SIX HAGGIE CHILDREN.
J. JAMESON.
MRS. JOHN WALTERMAN.
MRS. JOHN KOSTER.
TWO KOSTER CHILDREN.
MISS ANNA MARSDEN.
GEORGE MARSDEN.
MRS. POST.
ONPI URHOFF CHILD.
MRS. JOHN WATSON.
The cyclone struck before schools
had been dismissed for the afternoon,
and the number of children killed is
therefore harrowing. Some of the lit
tle ones- were literally swept oft the
face of the earth and dropped one
quarter of a mile away.. Others were
lodged dead in the branches of trees,
and still others killed by being tumbled
along the ground or hurled against
trees, fences, or buildings. Houses with
their entire contents were torn to
shreds, only holes in the ground re
maining to tell where they stood.
Barns were twisted into kindling wood
and live stock killed and mangled.
Crops were torn out of the ground and
leveled, and in broad strips of coun
try the scene is one of unutterable woe.
At Sioux Center three school houses
and twenty homes were destroyed.
Other schools at Sheldon, Ireton, and
Alton were demolished.
The path of the storm was broad
and the course of the dread visitor was
irregular. It was felt at Des Moines
and other points in Iowa remote from
Sioux county, and reports from the
Dakotas, southern Wisconsin, and
western Illinois tell of violent storms
attended by electrical phenomena such
as were seen in the cyclonic disaster in
this vicinity.
Des Moines, la., May 6.—Meager re
ports from storm-swept Sioux county
only add to the horrors of the storms
sent out last night. North of Ireton

teaching, two miles apart, were demol
ished. Their relatives live at Boscobel,
Wis. At Creston Everett Arnold, aged
eighteen years, was struck by lightning
and killed. The storm there was the
most severe for years, and the wind
carried away many small buildings.
The wires are down and it is hard to get
reports.

last night blew in eight or ten plate
glass store fronts and did great dam
age generally.

storm yesterday afternoon a cyclone

direction. It took half the root oft Mar
tin Baum's house and carried it half a
mile. A large barn, which Martin Baum
completed last fall, was blown to a
wreck, and the lumber was scattered
over the prairie. Several grainaries
were also wrecked.
LOOKS FOR A REVOLT.
Mach Excitement and 111 Feeling Mani
fested at Managua.
Managua, Nicaragua, May 6.—A
howling mob is rushing through the
streets yelling: "Death to Zelaya and
his advisors:” An outbreak is immi
nent. The troops are confined to the
barracks, ready for an emergency. Re
inforcements are coming from Leon.
Volunteer companies are forming
throughout the country and military
Rides are going and coming in all direc
tions. The activity of the military in
dicates that a crisis is approaching.
President Zelaya has called another
meeting of leading citizens. Yet there
is no doubt that a settlement has been
reached with England. The minor de
tails are being arranged by Foreign
Minister Matus and British Minister
Gosling. England has given some con
cessions, but the amount of Indemnity
is unchanged. The government is
pleased, but the people are dissatisfied.
British Minister Gosling said yesterday:
"England has made slight concessions
and has received a guarantee for the
payment of the Indemnity, which will
be made in London. The government
of England asked nothing for expenses
at Corlnto."
Doctoia at Baltimore.
Baltimore, May 6.—The twentieth an
nual convention of the American Aca

Charges That Indian Trouble Was
Caused by Scheming for Fee*.
Minneapolis, May 6.—A prominent
citizen of Kolia, N. D., telegraphs that
the Indian difficulty there has been fo
mented and stirred up by the scheming
of the United States deputy marshals
to gets fees and mileage. He charges
—and offers to back up his charges with
affidavits—that there would never have
been any trouble If Deputy Schindler
had not caused a great number of ar
rests on fictitious or trivial charges for
what there was in It. Schindler devotes
a great deal of time to looking up sup
posed irregularities, swearing out war
rants and taking the supposed offenders
on long railroad trips to BiBmarck or
Grand Forks, where occasionally they
plead guilty, are sentenced to a few
days in jail, and are then released. He
is charged with procuring the sale of
liquor to the half-breeds In order to
trump up cases, and even arrests his
own friends and relatives when they
want a trip at government expense.
Recently he arrested his brother-in
law and took him before Judge Thomas
Rolette County has no jail and jail sen
tences are served out by Schindler’s
prisoners at their own homes. An in
vestigation by the Washington author
ities Is demanded.
SMALL INDIAN WAR ON
White Settlers In Kallspell Valley At
tacked—Government Asked for Troops.
Spokane, Wash., May 6.—The trouble
between settlers and renegade Indians
of Kalispell Valley, which has been
brewing for a long time, has at last re
sulted in a conflict. Serious trouble and
bloodshed are sure to result unless the
government steps in with the troops to
protect the settlers.
Hostilities commenced Tuesday, when
three settlers named William Jared,
"Bid” Jared and Oscar McLaughlin
were attacked by a band of redskins led
by Big Sam, who attempted to drive
them from a quarter section of land
which they were fencing In. Big Sam
drew an iron bar from under his blanket
and knocked William Jared down. The
other Indians then rushed in with
knives and clubs, and after a short fight
the whites, all badly hurt, succeeded In
reaching their boat. They opened Are
on the Indians, killing one. The settlers
along the valley are arming themselves,
preparatory td driving the redskins out
of the country. The Indian agent, who
is powerless to control these renegades,
has appealed for troops to prevent
further bloodshed.

St. Johns, N. F., May 6.—The greatest
uncertainty prevails regarding confed

received letters from the dominion cab
inet last night. Those qualified say that
the disagreement continues. Members
of the government party say that fed
eration is dead and that the only alter
native is to accept the position of a
crown colony. The ministry held two
conferences with Governor O’Brien, it
Is supposed, on the French shore ques
tion. The governor insists upon the
holding of a general election before the
question of confederation is submitted
to the assembly. The Whitewayltes, the
government party, refused to agree to
this, fearing that they would be de
feated.

Tapers have been filed in the United

Wisconsin, by Tarrant & Kronshage,
attorneys for the Sterling Remedy com

suit for estoppel and damages against
an imitation of No-to-bac, the tobacco

sgaihst a concern called the Enreka
Chemical company, of La Crosse, Win
The principles involved in these pro
ceedings are of the utmost importance
to the proprietary interests of America
in general, and form in many respects,
a test case, the outcome of which will
be carefully watched by the many oth
er important concerns similarly imi
tated. Not only the question of imita
tion of name, trade-mark, form of
preparation and package, enter into
the cose, but also the proposition
whether the actual advertising litera
ture used in establishing the publicity
of a preparation can be stolen with im
punity, word for word, by an imitator.
The decision in this case will settle one
of the vital points in tho United States
