SIOUX CITY, In., May 3.— Dis- 1 patches were received here by the j Sioux City & Northern Railroad J company this evening from their \ igent at Sioux Center; forty-five miles north, telling of a terrible cyclone near > there, In which- many people !.'ere- killed and injured and much jroperty destroyed. The wires where property' destroyed. The wires where he storm' was were blown down and telegraph reports are consequently rery meager.

A school house sear town was destroyed, the teacher 'silled and a number of children killed and injured. Have not been able to learn exact number of names. The Whole country in the path of the storm is devastated. The Sioux City & Northern tracks between Perkins and Doon are washed out for several miles. Dispatches from Sioux Cen ter at 8:30 p. m. say three school houses and at least twenty residences and barns were swept away. At the | school houses two teachers and three pupils were killed and many in jured. Two women were found dead about 6 o'clock not far from the point Where the school buildings stood. One man, who arrived at Sioux Center late in the evening, reported that his house was blown away' and his family killed. He himself escaped and re ports that at least 200 OR 300 PEOPLE must have been killed. Parties -have been sent out from Hull, Sioux Cen ter and Orange City, neighboring towns, but their work is being car ried on in total darkness in the midst of a tremendous wind and rain storm. It is consequently progressing slowly. A number of bodies have al ready been recovered, although the exact number cannot be learned. Every one is violently excited, and" definite accounts cannot be obtained. It is said that Perkins, a small town between Sioux Center and Doon, was directly in the path of the storm, and was almost entirely wiped out. The Wires leading to it are all down, the railroad tracks are washed out and •the wagon roads cannot safely be traveled over owing to the manner in which they were gullied by the rain. It is consequently no easy matter It is consequently no easy matter to reach it. Physicians have already been sent from Hull, Orange City and Sioux Center, but are finding every conceivable obstacle in the ef fort to reach the scene of the storm. Help has be in refused from here, but if the same character of reports con tinue to come in, a train may be sent out.' • *" | TRACK OF THE STORM. Definite reports are beginning to !

D., May 3.— This sec tion was visited by heavy, drenching rain this afternoon, accompanied by high wind, lightning and big hail. Telegraph wires are down north of here on both the Northwestern,, apd ' the Milwaukee roads, and it is' impos sible to get returns as to the possible damage done to property. Citizens here viewed for some time, north of here, the formation of a cyclonic funnel-shaped cloud, which indicated trouble. At this writing returns are _ coming in showing that within ten miles north of Redfield a regular cy- : clone traversed toward Ashtoii, where it did much damage. The Opera house building, formerly court house, was blown out of shape, the steeple of the Congregational church was blown down, many houses unroofed and i barns destroyed. The main street 'of ' the city is strewn with debris of de- j molished buildings. Many farm houses, j barns, granaries and out buildings ! along the track of the cyclone north of here arc destroyed. As usual, the wind perpetrated many strange freaks In the work of destruction. Fortunate ly, no one is reported yet- as having suffered Injuries.

BRAVES IN THEIR WAR PAINT Scatter Upon the Arrival cf Marshal Cronan and His C Marshal Cronan and His Force. GABRIEL DUMONT IS LEADER No Order Is Yet Issued for No Order Is Yet Issued for Troops to Be Sent to the Scene. WASHINGTON, May 3. —No troops have been ordered to Turtle Mountain, N. D., though the war department has everything in readi- ness to send troops as soon as they are needed. It appears that the at- torney general does not believe that there is any necessity for the troops, and it is intimated thai, the marshal and his deputies have been unneces sarily alarmed. ST. JOHNS. N. D., May 3.— A party of some forty or fifty half-breeds, headed by a Frenchman named Chas seur, made a raid on the hardware store of Mr. Brooks and carried off all i the ammunition he had in stock. ! Brooks was under orders from the United States marshal to dispose of no ammunition to them, but he was powerless to resist, and the breeds took all the ammunition there was in sight, seizing two kegs of powder, . seven repeating -rifles, 1,000 loaded shells and 500 empty shells. They also secured two rifles belonging to Martinue, a trader here, and have also taken a considerable quantity of pro- visions and flour. The breeds have sent their children across the Manitoba line, and their encampment at Langan's place is re- ported to be in a strong state of de- fense. There are 400 breeds and In- dians in camp at Langan's, led by the worst element of the breeds. Little Thunder is as intemperate in his speeches as ever. . CRONAN ARRIVES. The party of deputies under Mar- shal Cronan, reinforced by ten men sworn in today at Rolia • and Cando, arrived here before noon. The pros- pects are that. there will be some dif ficulty in finding the men they are after. Deputies wish to make the ar- rest, as settlers report having seen bands of the Indians marching west to the mountains this morning. All were armed and in warpaint. Depu- ties have Winchesters and revolvers and plenty of ammunition, and will not go back without the prisoners if they can find them. Indian and half- breed women remain near here. One family of whites are here this morning for fear of trouble. -Settlers hope for the final settlement of their quarrels with the breeds through the present ; uprisings. With few exceptions the Turtle mountain Indians are quiet, and they will take no active part in any resist- ance offered to arrest of the breeds, : who are supported almost entirely by Canadian Indians and breeds. Chief Little Shell and Red Thunder, .how- ever, leaders among the reservation Indians, are said to be at the head of the war party. Several families of settlers at and near St. John went south to Rolia this morning for protection. The ex- citement her is intense, and serious trouble is now apparently certain. It is raining in torrents, and the party will not move till daybreak. GABRIEL DUMONT, Riel's lieutenant in the Canadian re- < bellion, is reported to have arrived ! and taken command. There are no signs apparently that the half-breeds j are weakening. The small force sent appears to have given them fresh courage.' Settlers living west and near the reservation line report that they saw ' several parties of reservation Indians in war paint passing their claims today on their way to join the band in camp. Chief Little Shell is said to be at home on the reservation tonight, but has. been advised of the coming of the deputies, and will join his party in the morning. A census of the band was taken "yesterday, and it is' reported that 1,600 names were en- rolled. Of these there are only about 400 in camp at the present time. Trad- ers and settlers here who know, the Indihns best, anticipate bloodshed if the deputies attempt the arrests to-- morrow. -.-: ■''«' ".-:;" '- '.-. .■V\jV;-i't_,v;ytf. Nearly all of the settlers here and about Rolia express the hope that the present trouble will result in the final settlement of the pending land claim, even if open hostilities become neces sary in-order to compel the "govern- ment to give attention to the matter. That the government recognizes the VALIDITY OF* CLAIMS is evident from the fact that their commissioners,- who were sent here three years ago, were authorized to offer the Indians $1,000,000 and an in- crease of their reservation . to twelve townships for a relinquishment ._ of their claim. Later 'these terms re- ceived the approval of the majority of the Indians, but the treaty was never ratified at Washington, and the dispute still remains unsettled.^ ?■?.

Agent Hall drove out to investigate, and the Indian po- lice, reported that the chiefs were not at home, so the marshal did not go out Only four Indians are off the ' reservation with the breeds. A number of half-breeds - live be- tween here and Rolia, but were all found absent. Their houses were searched. ".77-' ."7777. Scouts are now out to locate the main band, who were reported two miles northeast at noon. Their main encampment is now northwest of here about one mile this side of the nation- al boundary on the edge 0/ the timber. -MAJ. HALL REPORTS. Claims the Reds Are Peaceably In- clined. : WASHINGTON, May 3.— lndian Agent Ralph Hall has sent a dispatch to the commissioner of Indian affairs in reference to the reported trouble at the Turtle Mountain Chippewa reser vation in North Dakota. Mr. Hall says: "Everything is quiet on the Turtle Mountain reservation now. A posse of United States marshals have arrived to make arrests and I cannot tell what the outcome will be. ' The Indians as a whole have no interest in the trouble and are peaceably Inclined. Little Shell and about twenty of his followers are the only ones who are in- terested, but I believe the balance win keep them quiet. I am trying to hold all the Indians on the reservation and keep them away from St. John, where the trouble is located." ._...:.'■ The Indian bureau officials say that ; Little "Shell has for a long time been at the bottom of all the difficulties that have arisen on the reservation.' An- other chief cause of trouble is said to be the presence of a large number of Canadian Indians, who crossed the border only a few miles distant and helped eat up the government supplies, leaving the United States Indians short. The last congress appropriated $5,000 for the relief of these Indians and the amount has been placed to the credit of the agent, who is expending it for their benefit. i \ DURANT STARTLED. Yesterday's Evidence Disturbs \ His Usually Stolid Manner. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May To- day's preliminary examination in the case of Theodore Durant, charged with the* murder of Blanche Lamont, in Emanuel church, was damaging to the defendant. Some new and startling evidence was' introduced, which still further connects Durant with the crime. O. Oppenheimer, a second-hand dealer, testified that between April 4 and April 10 Durant had offered for sale a lady's: diamond ring. The wit- ness was shown three rings. He posi- tively-., identified one as. being offered by Durant. The ring was one of the three; returned to Blanche Lamont, wrapped in a, newspaper, the day be- fore Minni« Williams' body was found. When Oppenheimer identified this ring Durant. startled violently, turned pale and exhibited more uneasiness than at any time since his arrest. - The defend- ant's counsel tried. to break down this witnesses' testimony and that of three other witnesses, who repeated the cvi- dence given by them ati the inquest on Wednesday. These were Martin Quin- lan, the attorney who saw Durant, and a girl resembling Blanche approaching Emanuel church at 4:20 p. m. on April 3. David Clarke, who corroborated Quintan's statement of his whereabouts on. that day, and the janitor of Eman- uel church, who testified that there were no defects in the gas on April 3, and therefore no reason why Durant should have been fixing the gas pipes at the room that afternoon. The jani- tor's evidence was for the purpose of discrediting Durant's explanation to Organist King of, his appearance when he came down pale, sick and weak a? the prosecution maintains, from the belfry, where he had just murdered Blanche Lamont. ' TAKE YOUR CHOICE. Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris Is and ' She Isn't to He Married. WASHINGTON, May 3.— The report from Chicago that Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris was to be married shortly to Gen. Henry Douglass, of Maryland, is generally credited here by those in a position to know. Mrs. Sartoris her self, who is here, declined to say any thing this morning on the subject. A similar report gained currency over a year ago, but at that time It was de nied. NEW YORK. May 3.— An afternoon paper quotes Mm. F. D.

Howie, a prominent real estate dealer, received a money consideration, while H. T. Parmley, a j coal dealer, received certain concession in return for his vote. It is also charged that Jonah Jones, another member and wealthy merchant, bor- rowed four hundred dollors from Rowe a short time before election. It Is probable that the charges will be in- vestigated at once. STATED CASE ALMOST COMPLETE Damaging Testimony Given in the llixby Trial. HUDSON, Wis., May 3.— ln the Bixby case. today, Mrs. Munson testified that Bixby assaulted here several years ago, throwing her down in the wagon, but the horses became frightened and he "released her before accomplishing his purpose. The evidence today also showed Mrs. Bixby had been jealous of the accused for years. James Balsour gave expert testimony that the gun might have possibly exploded as claimed by the defense, though he be- lieved it unlikely. Dr. Fickes, of Glen- wood, probed the wound at the Inquest. Instead of running upwards as ex- pected from Bixby's statement, it was ' straight across the body. The state has made much of this fact. Today the skeleton frame work of the south part of the cottage was placed in the coui.t room. The state's case will be finished today. Much damaging cvi- dence of Bixby's character has been introduced, but the facts surrounding the shooting are unknown except as for Bixby's different statements, which conflict or appear unreasonable.

Stendal, who live at 715 Stewart avenue, was drowned a few minutes before 5 o'clock last evening by accidentally falling Into a pool of water In an abandoned stone quarry on Canton street, near Otto avenue. He sank in twelve feet of water. Nellie and Lizzie Cree, of 653 Bay street, children of five and. seven years, who were playmates of the little boy, fell in at 'the same time, and Would have shared a sim- ilar fate but for the- prompt and heroic action of Mrs. Daleish and Mrs. Leppard, two women living in the vicinity. Early yesterday afternoon the lit- tle Stendal boy, lonely lUBe his mother was ill and his elder brother j had not yet returned from school, j strolled away to amuse 1:1ms. If.Meet | ing the Cree children, the trio walked i off together. Going less than three blocks from 'their home, the little I folks paused on Canton street in the | vicinity of the quarry, which for three years past has been unworked. ; Finally they seated '-.themselves on the pavement which forms one of the boundaries of the quarry. The quarry contains more or leas water the en- tire year, but the recent rains have increased the pool bo :liic at pres ent it varies in depth from twelve to two feet, From where the children eat on the pavement the distance to the surface of the water was less than two feet.

"BRING ME A POLE The children are drowning," screamed the excited woman. Mrs. Leppard hurried to the scene with a stout garden rake. '. When she arrived, both the Cree chldren had risen to the surface. In an instant tho two cool-headed women, by a dexterous use of the rake had dragged them with- in reach of their hands and pulled them to the pavement. The body of Clar ence Stendal arose twice In the mean- time, but sank before the heroic wo- men had recovered the little girls. With great energy the two women dragged the quarry bed, but nearly fifteen minutes elapsed before they sue- ceeded In grappling the little body. When pulled out from the water the child gave several faint gasps. He was hurriedly conveyed to a neighbor's house, but the little fellow was dead before the journey was finished. Dr. McCord was summoned, but saw that any attempt at resuscitation would bo useless. The Cree children were car- ried to their home unconscious. It was several hours before they revived fully. The death of the Stendal boy created a feeling of intense indignation among the people living in the vicinity of tho abandoned quarry, which they char ■ acterized as a death trap. The father I of the dead hoy, who is employed as a cook by the St. Paul Boom company, alleges that nearly three years ago complaint was made to the city regard-* Ing the dangerous nature of the hole ami that a petition was made to have it properly fenced. At present he de- clares any one In passing during a dark flight, or especially one under th»_ influence of liquor might meet death In the quarry's bed as speedily as did his little son. Mr. Stendal Intimates that he will attempt to hold the city respon sible. The. quarry is said to be owned by ex-contractor McCarty, who at present conducts a Rice street grocery.
