GREAT SUFFERING IS OKLAHOMA.

A Settlor Rilia His Family to rrcwont Their Freezing to Wiiie Sweep of the Storm—All Modes of Tratlie lntertered With.

HORKOKS UF THE RL1ZZAKD. GUTHKIE, 0. T., Feb. I:i.—Reports coine from tlie strip of great suffering among the homesteaders residing there. Several persons, it is reported, have perished in the storin, among- them two families residing near Cross. No particulars can be obtained. Hundreds of head of stock were frozen to death.

Many people are still living in tents and as fuel is scarce the condition is awful. James Mulligan, living 4 miles south of Perry, was found Monday eveuing frozen to death, and his partner, Harvey Newcomb, died from exposure and cold fifteen minutes after being found. At Ponca Mrs. .leunie Cramer and two children, Lizzie and Sallie, were discovered frozen stilt in a coyote's burrow, 10 yards from their abode.

An Anrlul Alternative.

Word comes from Cross that Sherman fStone ami family, consisting of wife aud five children, were found sitting about a stove with their throats cut from ear to ear. The following note found on a table near by Stone gives a horrible story of murder and suicide in connection with the storm. "Wood nil Bone. Mollie frozen to death, the rest of us freezing. 1 have killed my family und now kill myself to prevent furtlier suffering. Uoil have mercy on us."

Stone was a homesteader and lived in a tent. It is thought that after the snow melts hundreds of dead settlers will be found, along with the remains of thousands of cattle.

Otlif-r 5'ilUillties.

Co). Henry Melton, a cowboy, who was with Buffalo Hill at the world's fair, was discovered by party of hunters early Monday morning dead under his horse. At Anadarko two Indian pupils were found Sunday evening buried under a snowbank. Upon being taken to a house one of the children immediately expired. The other, however, showed signs of recovery. A report has reached here that a family named Sears, residing on a claim near Woodward, was found frozen to death, but no particulars can be obtained.

A Missing Schoolnm'itm.

Miss .Iconic Johnston, a young Indian teacher, wlu came to Alva recently from Scran ton. Pa., le't her school Saturday for herloarding house. She has not been seen since. No reports have been received from other wesi s:uc towns, u:il. it ia certain the suffering is great, as t.he west, side people are living mostly in tents. All trains are delayed.

Miss Johnston's case is rather a romantic one. She recently fell heir to 8'^0.t)U0 at her old Pennsylvania home, and was immediately surrounded by a score of admirers. Miss Johnston, of course, thought all of her lovers were mercenary, and, feeling piqued, gathered up her effects and came west, where she secured a school.

A courier just in from Alva, another strip town, reports' great suffering among the homesteaders near the river. One hundred head of horses and cattle •were frozen and volunteer relief committees are now scouring the country gathering together the people and caring for them in the schoolhouses.

storm ever known here began Sunday and lasted through the night. Not less •than 2 feet of snow has fallen, and it has drifted so that in places it is 20 feet deep. Railroad traffic is stopped, trains being snowed in at numerous points. Thousands of head of cattle are endangered and a great portion of them will die of cold and lack of food.

OWNED TO FRAUD. STEP

Startling Develpinentg in tlie Miclilgan Election Frauds. DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 13.—Prosecuting Attorney Frazer began an investigation into the frauds committed in this city in connection with raising the figures of the salaries amendment returns in 1891 and 1S93. James G. Clark was put on the rack. Clark was a member of the canvassers' committee on footings and it is i^leged that he made a boasting confession of his own part in altering the returns from Detroit on the vote on the salaries amendment, and that he has implicated others. It is alleged the confession was made in the presence of four men, and one of them, J. J. Wirick, says that Clark made the following statement to himself and three friends the latter part of last October: "One day at the close of the legislation, when %vas bill clerk. Lieut. Gov. Gidcltngs came to me, asked me to take the train to Detroit and by all means to get on the canvassing board of Wayne county. I asked why: what he wanted me to do, and he said the men affected by the salary amendment were afraid It was beaten and they wanted the affirmative vote raised so it would be carried in the state. I camo to Detroit and got on the noard of canvassers. There 1 took a pencil and put figure 1 in front of the votes in thi' 'aye' column ard raised it to 13,00U."

The men at the time thought Clark was yarning. Clark denies making any such statement, but Wirick says he will swear to it. if brought before the grand jury. Lieut. Gov. Giddings is not at Lansing and it is impossible to get a statement from him.

Prosecuting Attorney Gardner will not admit that four indictments have been prepared, but says that when the findings of the jury have been made public the people will be both shocked and astounded.

BROUGHT DEATH TO MANY. KANSAS CITV, MO., Feb. 14.—Reports received hero from Oklahoma and the Indian territory make it almost certain that at least thirty lives wore lost during the great storm of Sunday. Many isolated homesteads where the families were poorly prepared for the winter cannot, be heard from for days and possibly weeks, and there is reason to believe that thirty will not represent the total number of the. dead. In western and southwestern Kansas there was great suffering and it is probable that more than ill one sod house dead bodies will some day be found.

Frozen oil tlio I'rairicn*

WICHITA, Kau., Feb. 14.—Snow commeneed falling Tuesday afternoon throughout Kansas and the efforts to restore railroad communication with the western part of the state will be further impeded. Telegraphic facilities are greatly impaired and distances to railroad points are so great in many of the western counties that it will probably be some days before the complete story of the suffering endured by settlers can be told. Succoriug parties were formed in some of the western towns to scour the surrounding country, but little except rumors of their discoveries have so far been received.

In the northeastern part of Clark county a rescuing party came across a wagon on the prairie with the dead body of a man named Lane in it. The horses had dropped in their tracks and were dead. Lane had been in Ashland early the previous morning after coal and food aud had succumbed on his way home. Hurrying on to Lane's farm the searchers discovered the family consisting of the wife and six children, in a deplorable condition. Two of the babies were dead and the others were all senseless with cold. In Mead, the adjoining county, the sick wife of a man named Wells, who was taking her to Mead Center for medical aid, died from exposure.

Trade Paralyzed.

CHICAGO,Feb. 14.—Chicago's bigretail stores never before experienced such a lack of customers as befell them on Monday. Many of the merchants have been in business for a quarter of a century, but they conld not recall the time when their stores were so deserted. Conservative estimates of the loss to the retail dry goods business alone, including the goods sold by the department, stores, fixed it at f250,000. The thrifty seekers after bargains, who were wont to throng the stores every Monday morning to the number of 300,000, were absent. Tlie snow actually piled up in front of the doorways and the shoppers were so few that there was not even a welltrodden entrance to the doors. By noon the managers of the larger stores began sending home their girls and women help.

Michigan KnaUit IH-iiiurnli/ed. DETROIT, Mich., Feb. H.—Monday's severe storm has subsided, but, the streets are still blockaded.

KOKOMO, ltid., Feb. 14.—Calvin Armstrong, Tipton county's deputy treasurer, convicted of embezzling $-K!,COO of the public funds, escaped from ji'il here Monday evening-. While the jailer was feeding the prisoners lie pretended to be asleep, and while the sheriff was in a remote part of the jail he slipped out a bar previously sawed off', ran down the corridor to the street entrance and was gone. He was not missed until morning.

Watson Pit/.er, of Tipton, wlio was in the eonspiraej' to release Cal before, has been arrested suspected of furnishing him money and a saw while at tending the trial. The excitement is at lynching point.

IJ atues K. Armstrong, father'of tlio fugitive) prisoner, was tlio treasurer of Tipton I'uunly. unit Calviu was deputy treasurer under him. As such he had access to tlio funds of the county, und made good use of tlio opportunity (or stealing thus presented to him. Calvin was scarcely in ofllee when he begun tils operations. Ho suddenly became a high-rolling "sport" of the llrst water, spending money lavishly. To keep up his fast gait he drew on the funds of the county, anil the money thus secured he squandered In various ways, lie continued his stealing from the Tipton county treasury until the amount of his embezzlement had reached ovf $40,000. A new courthouse is being built at Tlptou, and when the warrants of contractors were presented at the county treasurer's ofllco for payment tho money wus refused, on account of lack of funds in tho treasury for caching them. In this way the embezzlement of young Armstrong was discovered, lie wan arrested, tried and convicted of embezzling the county funds and on Saturday was sentenced by the jury that convicted him at Koliomo to three years' imprisonment. Treasurer Armstrong, his father, was also convicted of complicity in his son's stealings und sentenced to a year's Imprisonment. Ho is now awaiting transportation to the penitentiary.]

THE COUGHLIN TRIAL.

Vi'itnesscH Attack the ICvldoiuo to I'rove an Alibi. CHICAGO, Feb. 14.—Testimony in rebuttal was resumed by tho state in the Cronin trial, continued attacks being made on the testimony of Officer Michael Whalen and other witnesses for Coughlin who had attempted to prove an alibi for him. .ludge Wing made a hard fight to have testimony favorable to Mrs. Hoertel's reputation for truth aud veracity ruled out by the court, but failed.

The reflector by whoso aid Bardeen saw Dan Coughlin walking beside the murdered Cronin was introduced in court

The prosecution decided on Tuesday not to call young Foy to the stand. Foy, who is ^9 years old, came to the courtroom to take the stand to corroborate his mother's testimony. At the same time he pleaded not to be put on the stand unless it was absolutely necessary and, with rude pathos, depicted the position in which he was placed. If he said that his mother told the truth, he must declare his own father a perjurer and a murderer. He owed allegiance to one and to the other. llis testimony would be competent, if his father should be arrested, by reason of the story he must swear to. In a word, the son might put the hangman's noose about the neck of his own father. Mr. Bottum was greatly moved by the youth's pleadings and finally decided not to call him.

Senator: Gray (dem., Del.) resumed his argument, in support of the president's P0I7 icy and reiterated liis'charges that tho revolutionists were dependent, 011 the United States minister aud theUnited States forces for support of their movement, anil that thereafter the provisional government depended absolutely upon the. United States forces and the flag for protection and for the maintenance of the government they had established.

Continuing, Senator Cray said: "If the conditions at Hawaii now are such as to make that, government a de facto government, which I ilo not think it was in the months preceding, 1 think the best interests of those people and of the United States will be subserved by allowing them to pursue their own policy."
