Pottawattomie Oounty Visited by an Unusvally Heavy Rain, PROPERTY DAMAGED IN THE LOW LANDS, Fears Entertained that th Ixtent of the Flood is Even MuchGreater Thanat Present Known. A thinnish, lazy looking cloud, indolently ) sky a fow degrees loating in the northeaste; below the zenith, and a smoky scud aimlessly drifting around in the opyosite quarter of the heavens at about the same altitude wasa combination that failed to attract the atten tion of any but the most ac observer of the weather phenomena at 6:30 Jast evening. Yet the two formed the cammencement of of the heaviest rain storms that has oc Bluffs sinceo cil curred in the vieinity of Cou the great flood of 1581, The first intimation thut even a little shower was immincat was the discharge of a terrific electric bolt from the southern cloud into the othel followed by @& crash of thunder that shook the foundations of the city. Ina fe moments & dense mass of cloud bad formed on cach side of the cty and the intervening clear space was cou- tinuously clett by fiery bolts. The wwo clouds were upproaching each other ap parently on the same plane. The meeting point was a fow miles northeast of town The warring forces seemed to produce a » cyclone. Those who were watching aw a eylind mass of deusely black cloud drop toward the carth. It re sembled a monster elephant's trunk., The lower end switched backwurd and forward with great violence, but the point did not seem to reach the earth, Iu a few moments it was drawn up and disuppeared in the cloud, adding to its density aud spreading over a wide expanse, But nttle rain feil n the city, scarcely suf to flow in the gut- ters, The terrific roaring, however, indicated that feuriul rain was falling # 'short dis- tance north and cast of the city. Tne first intimation of its severity was given the resi- dents of Hurrison street when a flood came tearing down, filling the street uud overtlow- mg the curb after the rain had entirely ceased in the city. he uext intimation was a rise of Indian ereck at the rate of four feet in fifteen minutes. By 7:30 o'clock a flood cight feet deep was tearing down the creck, aud by S o'cloci it had mcreased to fourteen feet, overflowing the bunks from Seveuth street to the river, inflicting serious duwage to property. No damage at all was donc in the upper part of the city but judging from the mass of debr that came tearing down the creek heavy dam- age was intlicted east of town. A erocery store apparently been emptied into the to rent. kg cuses half filled with eggs, chicken coops full of drowned fowls, burrels, boxes, sardin cores of drowned chickens, covered the surface of the grouna where it was not overspread with the wreck- age from barnyards and farms. The storm lasted only about balf an hour, and before 7:15 the sun was shming brightly, with arcely a cloudin sight. ‘The rapid riso of the creck attracted gencral attention and the whole town turned out to sce the water over- spread the banks ana invado the strects “The creek left its banks and cut_across Broadway on Seventh strect, and Broadway from ISighth street to Sixteenth was covered from one to two feet decp. It was not until after the water subsided that the cxtent of the damage cauld be approximated. All ulong Lower Broadway could be seen sians of the destructive fiood. The under- taking establishment of K. Morgan between Seventh and Bighth streets suffered worse than any of the other business houses. The floods entered by the back door and rapidly filled the cellar. ‘The services of a number of neignbors were atonce secured and such of the goods in the cellar as could be moved were taken out by the starway. Lee Wit ter, who was among those assisting, had a nurrow eseape from being plunged in sixt feet of water. The water alrcady in the cellar wa about five feet deep, and he had been walking across bridges made of coffius, and in _this way passing out a lot of maitrestes to Mor- gau. In some way the lanp was tipped over, and he Lad to_leave the ccllar. Just as ho renched solid floor above there was a crash, aud the whole east wall of the foundation succumbeda to the waters in the building, and a flood whick had gathered in u vacant cellar next door rushed in, Had he been a moment late in making his “exit from the ceilar he must have been drowned. The damage to the building and the stock is estimated at about $300, none of which was insured against watcr. The grocery of Charles Racer, just across from the Northwestern depot on Broadway, was also badly damaged, the entire front wall of the cellur being washed away and a large amount of mevchandise being ruined. At the Northwestern depot the yards were filled with water, whicn at first was over a foou deep. During the evening it receaed, but the tracks were unsettied so that the company was afraid to start out its truins on scheaule time. All the sidewalks in the vi- cinity wore torn up. “The worst part of the damage was done to the property 1 the vicinity of the transfer. Pamlies by the dozen were compelled to fice for their lives to higber ground, mauy of them delaying their departure until friénds tad to go after them in boats. In man. places where the couutry for whole blocks has not been brought up to grade, the water stood fifteen foet deep. It was impossible to wake one’s way over this partof the city, and the whole amount of the damage will not be known today or until the waters re- cede enough 50 as to allow an examination to be made. North of Broadway as far &s Avenue D the tlood committed its depredations. The axe handlo factory at the corner of Avenue B and Thirteenth stroet was badly water souked. Tho dumage, however, is thought to be nowinal. The foundation of Gilinsky's feed store_and [his residence between Avenue A and Brondway, below the Northwestern depot, was also washed out, For' about two hours the water was so deep along West Broadway and Avenue A that the motor trains stopped running and all commu- nication between this city and Omaba was shut off, All tho rip rapping at the North First street bridge over Indian creek which the city bas been putting in for several weeks past, was washed out. A family living back of the coal yard of A. I, Thatebier & Co. were driven out of their home and had to stund on top of their houso ull night.

The particulars have just come to light of o neat little confidence game that was played on Contractor J. A. Murphy a few days ago. A nian by the name of Funk, with his head- quarters at Helena, Mont., introduced him- suif to Mr. Murphy asa representative of the National Loan and Savings union, of Helean, and talked the loaw business to him with all his might. He was armed with a lot of cireulars in which the methods of busi- ness of his concern were expluitied ut length, uud also with a circular letter purporting to bave been prepared and signed by some of the most prominent citizens of Helena, in which they highly recommended the ofticers of the savings umon. This circular was shown to Murvhy, aud he found a namber of the men who hiad endorsed the company were weil known to him. Tu this way Funk sceured Murphy's appli- cation for the loan_of £,000. In_ order to have the loan, Murphy was told that he would have to take stock in the concern, and the amount of the first payment on the stock wuich he was induced to subscribe for, amounted to $51. This payment had to be made in advauce, and as a rosult of Funk’s blandishneats the meney was paid over. A fow days agon friend of Murphy’s and acquuintance of Funk’s met the latter whild travelling, and from him learned that Mur- phy had been the vietim of a trick, Fuuk ad miited that he had been discharged from the company for rascality of various kinds, and that thd only reason that he played Mirphy for a sucker was that _he found himself in Council Biuffs without money, and he had to realize something on his nerve, since he had nothing else of a marketable value to put up. Since that time it has also been learned that the National Loan and Savings Union1s a wild cat concern, and the alleged recom- mendations were secured by false pretences, the men who indorsed the company having sent out circulars stating that when they z signed the recommendations thoy did not know for what purpose the union was organized. Murphy put a detective on the I, and tried to locate Funk by means of a valise which was to be i him. It was learned, when too late, that the valise had been sent to the name, H. Adams, and under this alias Funk succecded iu gotting nis property and skipping the country, in company With Murphy's §1. Use Haller's German _Pills, the great con stipation and liver regulator.

Took Leg Bail. Constable Austin arrested Robert Philips and Mrs. Julia Defrees yesterday morning and took them to the oftice of Justice Cones, wiere they were to have a hearing on the charge of adultery made against them by Mrs. Barbara Puilips, the wife of one of the defendants. When the party reached the justice’s office Austin stepped inside the door to speak to Cones, while Phiilips stayed outside waiting for Austin, who was to go to the oftice of an ut- torney with him. A moment later Austin went to the door, but the bivd had flown. The constable spent the greater part of yes- terday hunting for bis erstwhile prisoner, but failed to find him. Mrs. Defroos gave batl for her appearauce this morning, and if Roverts can be reeaptured, the hearing will come off. But Roberts hus probably put sev- eral miles between him and the constable by this time, and the probubility is that the jus- tice will never be called upon to decide the caso.

As rapidly as the latter were shown new ones with new tricks and rascality took their pla ‘There was but one means loft and that was to establish a great bureau of claims. This idea was suggested to a uumoer of peopie but wiis put into practice first by the San Fran- cisco Examiner. With the Examiner, Tue B has co-opera- tedin the great work of affording relief to worthy claimants, The Washington correspondent of the Ex uminer, Mr. Joln Wedderburn, who has also acted as private secretary to Senator Hearst, was detailed to organize and take charge of the burcau. His long service m Washington in both these capacities had given him a large acquaintance with government oficials and government methods. Kuowing the men and the proper procedure to follow, he was chosen as well qualified to push claims throuzh in the shortest time if they wore justly due. “T'lic best lawyers to be had were then em- gaged and a fuil clerical force put into the bureau. In every instance the men were chosen for their knowledge of the work to be done. Congress was not less anxious to protect claimants from robbery. The samo kind of complaiuts nad come to T Gek and gone to the riembers of congress as well. The com- mittees that had the Indian depredations bill under consideration investigated the opera tions of the claim agents and attorneys in connection with the Indian dep ions cluims. They found that the claim agents nad demanded ¢ 050 per cent from the men holding the claims, and in hundreds of s held contracts at these figures. While the bill was still in_congress, with little ap- parent chance of passage, they were able, by metnods dangerously ucar the line of false pretenses. to induce the claimants to sign tho orbitant demands. "hero appeared to be only one way to teeuthe cluimants, That was to cancel all coutracts by law and limit the fees that at- torneys wight collect. The claimants would thus be cuabled to choose another agent if the one they nad first engaged had attem pted to dofraud them, and the contracts could not demand more than the specified rate. The ninth section of the bill was thus drawn to annul “all sales, transfers or as- gnments of claims' and ‘“‘all contracts here- ofore made.” The maximum fee to be al- lowed was put at 15 per cent of the amount collected except in case of claims under 500 or where unusual work had to be done, when 20 per cent might be allowed. The amount of business received diately after the opening of the burcau is a proof of the confidence in which the peopi bold it and of the distrust which the ordi nary claim agent has aroused. In the s wecks, from April 1 to May 15, claims to the amount of $4,905,341.6515 were filed with the vureau on account of Indian depredation claims alone. All these go to the court of claims under the act and are in various stages of preparation and prosecution. Be- sides the ciaiins under the Indian depreda- tion act there had been filed at that date treasury claims to the amount of § My com- ted to recom- up, pro- imme- French spoilation claims to che amount of §285,553: land claims, $289,350; and patent and other claims to a large amount, Since that date some 2,000,000 of claims have \ filed with the bureau, and it is now attending over &5,000,000 of ¢l The need for the bu by the fact. that it now cluims than all of the hington combined u may well be seen has on hand more claim attorneys of "The efforts of congress and the establish- bureau was Th ment of the the claim agents. not appreciated by wanted to continue to thrive in thew busiuess of fleecing the needy claimant. They accordingly denounced the government and the bureau. They held that the former could not cancel the contracts they had made with their victims, But the cancellation was made in the interest and name of the people. And it need not be doubted that the eminent constitutional law- yours who framed the act 1 question did nov do so without knowing what they wers doing. The threats of the sharks undoubtedly had an_ effect upon some men who desired to make new countracts and secure the services of some other attorucy, but this effect will soon be destroyed and the emancipation of the claimant from the tyranny of the shark will be complete, The amount of money that will be saved to the people by this work of Tug Bex Buieat or Cuatys,may not becaleulated.
