The ruins immediately took fire and commu- nicated to three adjoining buildings, | which burned to the ground. Ten men were buried beneath the ruins and burned to death. Six others were seriously injured. The loss on buildings and whieky and spirits stored will approximate $1,000,000. At 7 o’clock this evening the fire had spread to the stock yards district, where a dozen large cattle barns filled with cattles for market were burned. With the fall of the big warehouse the third gatastrophe within less -| than a yeaf overtook the distilling company and a number of lives, va- riously estimated at from nine to fifteen, were hurled into eternity, while a number of’ other persons were injared more or less seriously. Two other explosions followed in rapid succession, but-the cause can not yet be determined.

FATAL TORNADO AT WALTERS, OKLA|s TWELVE PERSONS INJURED ‘Woman Killed Ou Outright and Town is Partially Destroyed. Lawton, Okla., June 4—Comanche county was visiting to-day by one of the heaviest rains of the year, and much of the town of Lawton, built on low ground, is under water. People are seeking the high ground, having had te fly before they were able to save their household goods. Others are living in the second stories of their houses, but the rapidly rising flood renders such a condition preca- meus for all save those in the newest and strongest built houses. The town of Walter, in the same county, waa struck by a cyclone this evening and Mrs. Tomas Payne was killed, while nine other people were injured. Houses were demolished and blown away. A heavy rain followed the cyclone. The railroad service throughout the teritory is demoralized, and many of the trains have been annull- ed. The Rock Island is the only trunk line which is open tothe north, the Santa Fe running only a plug to Wichita. At Emporia, Kan., the turning Point inthe flood took place this morning. The water was much the highest ever known there. Live stock has suffered terribly, especially hogs, many hundreds of which Kave been swept away in the currents. One man is said to have lost over 400 head. Thousands of people were driven out of their homes and are still out, awaiting for the futher fall of the water. DEADLY WORK OF DYNAMITE Colorade’s Labor War Results in Diabolical Plot That Costs Many Lives. Cripple Creek, Col., June 6-—Three hundred pounds of dynamite, placed by unknown assassins under the depot at the Florence & Cripple Creek railway station, exploded at 2 o’clock this morning, while twenty-five non- union miners, employed at the Find- lay mine, located on Bull hill, were stauding on the platform, instantly killed eleven and fatally injuring eight or ten others. The mine was discharged by elec- tricity. A wire was discovered lead- ing from the depot to theshaft house of the Delmonico, where the fiend us ed a chair leg with which to pull the wire to discharge the dynamite. The acene about the depot was hor. ible. Portions of remains were scat- tered all over the right of-way of the railway, and in a twenty-toot hole |made by the explosion were several skulle, arms, legs and hands. Every jet within fifty feet was bespatter- ed with blood. VALUABLE JEWELS AT FAIR STOLEN Gold and Garnets.
