SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 11—As a result of a drunken row on the Blackfoo:r In- dian Reservation, in Western Montana, seven peopl> are dead and two are wound- ed. The dead are W. A. Kesupkst and Mrs. Kesupkst, their three youag chil- dren and Susan Big Road and Mrs. Lit- tle Plume. The wounded are Alice Big Road and J. Little Plume. All are Black- foot Indians. The cause of the quarrel which was fol- lowed by the tragedy has not heen fully ascertalned. A number of Indians held a carousal last night, after obtaining an unusually large amount of liquor. In some manner, it is sald, Kesupkst incur- red the anger of several of the Indians, and after he left the scene of the carousal they continued to drink, and firally de- clded to massacre the Kesupkst people. The Kesupkst family occupled a large house. All were asleep when the slaugh- ter began. The murderers, said to num- ber five. broke into the house and fired upon the husband and father as he lay in bed. He was shot through the head, dy- ing Instantly. Mrs.- Kesupkst jumped from the bed before a second shot could be fired and, selzlng her youngest child, ran screaming from the house. She was followed and captured. She struggled to | keep possession of her babe, when one of the attacking party placed a revolver at the head of the infant and fired.

It was understood that all sums withdrawn from the chest were restored from loans and other revenues and the discovery that this has not been done has created con- sternation here, The strictest quiet is being preserved about the affair and the commission ap- pointed by the Czar to Investigate is pro- ceeding with great secrecy. s BRITISH ADMIRALS GATHER. spondent adds that hostilities are | believed to be imminent.

The other two children oi the Ke st family were shot through the head Alice Big Road received a bullet in the leg. Mrs. Little Plume was apparently the last vietim. Her throat was cut from ear to ear. Of the victims Alicc Big Road will recover, out Little Plume is in a critfcal condition, It is impossible to learn the truth re- | garding the cause of the assault. Four Indians have been placed under arrest, and the greatest of excitement prevails on the western part of the reservation near where the massacre occurred.

The city of Passaic passed a sleepless night, it being feared that the Dundee dam would give way. That would have relieved the river at Paterson at the ex- pense of the cities below. Fortunately Dundee dam is still intact. The suffering in Wallington and Dut- tonville has been very great, as no re- llef has been able to reach these places.. All through this district houses and out- buildings, together with a great quantity of dead stock, may be seen floating about. SEVEN MEN IMPERILED. Seven men are now in peril of their lives in the Kearns Bros.’ dye house on the river margin near Paterson. A part of the works has been carried away. The | men have been In that part which re-| mains standing since Friday noon. While | they were trving to save thousands of dollars’ worth of silks by carrying them | to the top of the building the structure | was surrounded by water and the men were cut off from all assistance because of the torrent that has been rushing by ever since. It is believed that the entire building will be carried from its founda- tion unless the flood subsides very soon. Twenty-five bridges are down in Pas- saic and Sussex counties, on the Susque- hanna Railroad. Street Commissioner Breet fears that many houses on River, Main and West streets will fall. The maximum height of the two feet above the flood of 1902. it 1s receding. Passaic s a greater sufferer from the flood than even Paterson. Twenty mills in Passaic alone are under water and 8000 workers are out of employment. Ten thousand persons have left their homes. Eight hundred houses are flooded to the eaves and in all 1000 acres are covered by water from a depth of a few inches to twenty feet. Several million feet of lum- ber have been carried down to Newarke flood was To-night ay. In Weaselbrook the Erie tracks are sus- pended in the alr, the twenty-foot em- | bankment having been washed away. Twenty three-story frame houses have gone floating dowh the Passaic River and | as far as can be estimated the loss of | city property, real estate and buildings | is $2,000,000. - T, WRECKAGE LITTERS BEACH. Virginia Surfman Makes Heroic Res- cue of Three Negroes. NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 11.—The northeast gale that has raged over this region sinee Thursday has to-night practically spent its power, but for miles and miles along the Virginia coast the beach is littered with wreckage and throughout this en- | tire section of the country devastation | lies in the wake of the storm. Thousands | of persons thronged the coast to-day to | view the wrecks of the big barges Ocean Belle and Georgia. The body of Captain | George H. Adams of the Georgia was washed ashore late last night. The rescue of three negroes of the crew | by Surfman Capps was a heroic act. Capps, while two miles from any other human being and patroiling his stretch between the stations, saw one negro more than 100 yards off shore in the roar- ing surf. Without a moment's consider- ation he stripped and plunged into the sea, which was already a seething mass of wreckage from the barges, and after a half hour’s battle, single-handed and | Many washouts are reported from differ- LITTERS THE STORM-SWEPT COAST alone, brought the unconscious man to shore. A moment later he discovered through a rift another form and once more went into the surf. This time his struggle was | a harder one, but he eventually succeeded in saving a second negro. Placing both men under the lee of a cliff, he started back to the station to give the alarm, when he saw a third ne- gro in the waves and for a third time plunged in and brought an unconscious man ashore. ‘While nothing new is reported in the way of wrecks on the coast, there is ab- solutely no means of obtaining’ informa- tion from points more than six miles south of Virginla Beach. The entire coast telegraph system is prostrated and it will be some days before communica- tion can be restored. The passenger steamship reported in a dangerous position off the capes last night proved to-day to be the Old Dominion steamer Hamilton, from New York on Friday. The Hamlilton reached Norfolk at 4 o'clock this morning after a terrible | experience in the gale. Anchored off Virginia Beach, with no signs of life aboard, are two large sea- going barges. Both are slowly but surely dragging toward, the beach. What fate has befallen thel® crews is not known. piins e s MANY BRIDGES GO OUT. Enormous Damage Is Done in the Vicinity of Trenton. TRENTON, N. J,, Oct. 11.—The extent of the damage done by the flood in this section s now beginning to be fully realized. At least six and possibly all nine of the wagon and foot bridges across the Delaware River between this city and Easton, Pa., have been carried away. The one iron bridge between Trenton | and Easton is that crossing the river from | Point . Pleasant, Pa., to Byram, N. J.| This bridge, which is about half way be- | tween Trenton and Easton, is believed to be the only one not destroyed. These bridges were erected at an average cost of $60,000 each, The two wagon bridges between this city and Morrisville were both damaged by the wreckage from the other bridges coming down the river. The Calhoun- street bridge was so badly damaged that to-day no traffic across it was allowed. ent points and in some places the tracks are submeérged by the overflowing of the river. The railroad officials here have only meager information as to the condition | of the Belvidere division, as all the tele- | graph wires are down with the exception | of a single one between this city and | Lambertville and that works imperfectly. | Rallroad traffic on the Amboy division | from this city to Camden is suspended. The tracks along the river between this | city and Bordentown are submerged at | points to a depth of three feet and trains are not running. Traffic on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad is now being conducted with little deviation from the regular schedule. The Delaware and Raritan Canal and the canal feeder both are reported to have several breaks in their banks at different points. Assistant Suprintendent Dunn of | the canal compédny sald to-night that he thought these breaks would be repaired fo permit the resumption of traffic by Tues- day. The water in the river has fallen considerably here to-day. About 100 houses in South Trenton are still partially under water by reason of the overflowing of the river. The city's water power supply, which is an artificial stream running through the city parallel with and about three blocks back from the city, also overflowed and did consid- erable damage. This has made a sort of an island of the intervening high ground. Comparatively small damage is being done outside of that to furniture and the inconvenience caused. Where the houses are flooded there seems to be no current and the structures are not being weak- ened on their foundations. Some of the HBuses have been abandoned. e i TRAFFIC AT A STANDSTILL. New York Railroads Struggling to| Restore Normal Conditions. | NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—With thelr re-| palr crews working to their limit and | their depots crowded by stormbound passengers, the railroads running out of the city to the New Jersey suburban | districts and the west and south strug- gled slowly all day to get back to normal conditions. The roads most affected by the storm, | the Erie and Lackawanna, were still badly tied up on thefr main lines. On | their various branches it will take days | to repalr the damage. | The damage to the Erle was the most | widespread. On its main line to-day trains got as far as Passalc. On several of the branches there was little or no trafic. On the New Jersey and New York division there were serious and fre- quent interruptions past Spring Valley. | The Lackawanna put up notices which read: “All, tickets to Washington and West sold at passenger’s risk.” | During the day the main line was cut | off service between Paterson and Boon- ton. Traffic ceased also on the Sussex branch, the line being washed out in sev- | eral places. i The Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley railroads, except for minor interruptions, resumed thelr regular sched- ules to-day. All Western mails arrived | here practically on schedule time. el st aae LOSS TOTALS MILLIONS. EASTON, Pa., Oct. 1.—The Delaware | River began to recede about midnight and continues to fall rapidly. The Le- high and the Bushkill are still backed up for miles, and everything along their banks is flooded. It is impossible to es- timate the loss or even approximate. it, | but in Easton and towns up and down | the Delaware it will take millions to re- place the bridges and repair the damage. | Only one bridge from the headwaters of | the Delaware to Easton is standing, and | that is an old covered structure at Port- | | land. The Jersey Central bridge is seriously | damaged, and at least three spans will have to be replaced. The bridges at Riegelsville, Milford and Frenchtown | were washed away. The Belvidere and Delaware division of the Pennsylvania Railroad is closed, and trains are stalled here. Big washouts occurred up and down the road. The North Delaware River highway is dam- aged to the extent of $20,000. Mayor Lehr directed a relief cor| posed of policemen, National G and citizens, that rescued hundreds of flood-bound residents along the Lehigh River. The refugees were housed in the City Guard armory. | The West Easton industries are still submerged; also the gas and electric light and power plants. Zearfoss & Hilliard, lumber merchants suffered $50,000 dam- age. , com- uardsmen ADVERTISEMENTS. . | ates Government is with Japan eavors she is making to prevent the extension of Russian authority over S0 strong 1s the feeling in Japan's or that it amounts to partisanship, while the struggle which many be- e is bound to occur between the Rus- T 111 R b B2 et Wy i TR - 2 URLIIW o — I AV ZES) ecruiting - Station § to assist in supplying THE UNITED STATES ARMY OF STTOKERS with the ADVERTISEMENTS.
