1T ED E DEND
IOWA CYCLONE ATTENDED BY
APPALLING FATALITY.
It Is Felt That the Worst has Not Yet
Been Told-Telegraph Wires Down
and Fall Rcports Can Not Ile
Secured.
Sioux City , Ia. , May 6.-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 territory -
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 impossible -
possible , but it is known that the following -
lowing towns have suffered by the
storm : Sioux' Center , Ireton , Orange
City , Perkins , Doon , Hull , Sheldon , Alton -
ton , Ashton , Sibley , Lemars.
From most of these places fatalities
are reported. In Sioux City fifty persons -
sons are said to be dead ; in Perkins ,
forty ; in Doon , ten ; in Sibley , five.
Smaller towns and farming communities -
ties are yet to be heard from , so it is
mournfully expected that the list of the
dead will , in time end , reach far into
the hundreds. Up to this time the
known dead are :
MRS. HERMAN BELLCAMP.
TWO BELLCAMP CHILDREN.
TWO COOMBS CHILDREN.
SIN HAGGIE CHILDREN.

MRS. JOHN WALTERMAN.
MRS' . JOHN ROSTER.
TWO KOSTER CHILDREN.
MISS ANNA MARSDEN.
GEORGE MARSDEN.
MRS. POST.
ONE 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 little -
tle ones were literally swept off 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 remaining -
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 country -
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 , Ia. , May 6.-Meager reports -
ports from storm-swept Sioux county

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-
giass store fronts and did great damage -
age generally.

storm yesterday afternoon a cyclone
started at Cain Creek , about nine miles
south of Huron , passing in a southeast
direction. It took half the roof off Martin -
tin Baum's house and carried it half a
mile. A large barn ' ; which irtij Baum
last 'fall , was blown to a
vreck , and the lumber was scattered
over the prairie. Several grainaries
were also wrecked.
LOOKS FOR A REVOLT.
Mtich Excitement and Ill Feeling Mani-
lCSte(1 at Managua.
Managua , Nicaragua , May 6.-A
howling mob is rushing through the
streets yelling. Death to Zelaya and
his advisorsi" An outbreak is immi-

barracks , ready for an emergency. Re-
nforcements are coming from Leon.
Volunteer companies are forming
hroughout the country and military
aides are going and coming in all direc-
ions. The activity of the military indicates -
dicates that a crisis is approaching.
President Zelaya has called another
meeting of leading citizens. Yet there
. no doubt that a settlement has been
eached with England. The minor de
ails are being arranged by Foreign
Minister Matus and British Minister
Gosling. England has given some coii-
essions , but the amount of indemnity
s 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
f England asked nothing for expenses

'Charges That Indian Trouble Was
Caused by Scheming for Fees.
Minneapolis , May 6.-A prominent
citizen of Rolla , N. D. , telegraphs that
the Indian difficulty there has been fomented -
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 arrests -
rests on fictitious or trivial charges for
what there was in it. Schindler devotes
a great deal of time to looking up supposed -
posed irregularities , swearing out warrants -
rants and taking the supposed offenders
on long railroad trips to Bismarck 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 sentences -
tences are served out by Schindler's
prisoners at- their own homes. An investigation -
vestigation by the Washington authorities -
ities is demanded. '

tacked-Governmemit 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 resulted -

bloodshed are sure to result unless the

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 fire
on the Indians , killing one. The settlers
along the valley are arming themselves ,
preparatory to driving the redskins out

' 1 IMPORTANT GA E.
IT COMES UP BEFORE THE
UNITED STATES COURT.
A Suit for an Estoppel-Tne Eareha
Chemical Company , of La Crosse Makes
the Trouble.
Papers have been filed in the United
States court of the western district of
Wisconsin , by Tarrant & Kronshage ,
attorneys for the Sterling Remedy company -
pany , of Chicago and New York , in a
suit for estoppel and damages against
an imitation of No-to-bae , the tobacco
habit cure. The action is brought
against a concern called the Eureka
Chemical company , of La Crosse , Wis.
The principles involved in these proceedings -
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 other -
er important concerns similarly imi-
tated. Not only the question of imitation -
tion of name , trade-mark , form of
preparation and package , enter into
time case , but also the proposition
whether the actual advertising literature -
ture used in establishing the publicity
of a preparation can be stolen with impunity -
punity , word for word , by an imitator.
'l'ime decision in this case will settle one
of the vital points in the United States
trade-mark and copyright law.-Madi-
