Iterate ttattl* at Aall*ra.
A light took place at Anttera. Indian Terri
rltory. Tuesday, between the Choctaw militia
and tlie Locke party, lu which at leuat one
man wa* mortally wounded and a number in
Jured less seriously
The trouble Is the outgrowth of the election
last August for chief. In September, before
the council met. four Jones’ meu were assas
sinated by Jackson meu. When the council
met the United Flute* militia were there to
preserve order. Jones waa declared chief
Twenty-two were arrested charged vtlth the
murders abd are now- In custody. Dick Locke
a prominent merchant of Antler*, was
charged with Inciting these murder*, hut wa*
not arretted. The tuilitla was sent out to ar
rest him and others, when their friends ral
lied to their support and the result win the
battle to-day.
The first report* cay the militia acted rash
ly and without legul right. Ninety of them
under command of G W. Duke* descended
upon Locke's bouse to arre-t or kill him.
Locke was just starting from his house up
town when Mrs. Locke »a» the militia com
ing and called him back. He had only four
Indians and n negro in tlie house. The militia
charged the place.firing Into tlie bouse s* they
came. I.oeke called to them to let the women
mill children out, but a steady roar from
seventy-eight Winchesters was the only reply.
Locke and his five men returned the fire
steadily . Mrs. Locke and the children had
run out nt the begUmlng nud made their w ay
to a neighbor's bouse
When about 1.500 shot* li.nl been fired.
Captain Thompson arrived and as soon a*
possible called off his men who had been
urged Into the trouble by Dukes. One <*f the
inilitt.v was mortally wounded and four others
received serious wounds.
Two Indians and a negro of Ihe Locke fac
tion were wounded, but they will probably re
cover.
The militia were warned that if they made
an attack on I.oeke without provocation sml

A special from Memphis tayt: The dam
age done by Thursday's cyclone In the Mis
sissippi valley 1* enormous. While the Ins*
of life la not at great as at first reported, the
damage to properly will reach (2,000,000.
The telegraph wires are still demoralized and
reports arc coming In slowly front the storm
districts and It will be several days before the
full extent of the disaster will be known.
The death list foots up to eighteen, while the
list of Injured will run up into the hundred*.
The majority of those killed and Injured arc
negroes.
The first heard of the cyclone was In North
Louisiana and Southern Arkansas. It crossed
the Mississippi river a few miles above Green
ville, devastating plantations, wrecking farm
houses and uprooting giant forest tree*. The
path of the storm was about half n inlle wide,
and nothing was left standing In It* truck.
The first fatality occurred near Shaw'* sta
tion, Mississippi, where the house of Drury
Sumrol, » prosperous and Industrious colored
farmer, was leveled to the ground, killing
the entire family of nine people. The cyclone
passed through the suburbs of Shan’t station
and demolished several residence* and small
stores, but no one was killed.
The hurricane then changed Its course
slightly and traveled the right of way of
Yazoo A Mississippi Valley railroad until It
entered Cleveland, Mississippi, where the
school buildings, several house* and stores
were razed to the ground. No fatalities oc
curred at Cleveland, but several people were
struck by flying timbers and more or less In
jured.
Leaving Cleveland the cyclone passed with
in a mile of Clarksdale, a town of 2,000 In
habitants, and next struck Tunica, the county
seat of Tunica county. Nearly every building
In the place was wrecked. The newly com
pleted court-house went down before the
wind’s fury. The colored school building
was wrecked and over thirty children maimed.
As the cyclone left Tunica It divided, one
portion traveling In a northeasterly direction,
while the other took a northwesterly course,
and again crossed the Mississippi river Into
Arkansas, where It spread ruin through three
counties.
The towns of Crawfordsvllle trad Vincent
w ere nearly wiped off the face of the earth,
and the storm then took a northeasterly
course, reaching Kelly, Mississippi, about 4
o'clock In the afternoon. Here the greatest
damage was done. Six people were killed
outright and scores Injured. Not a building
was left standing, the fragments being
strewn over the country for mile*. The dam
age to property In the vicinity of Kelly will
reach (150,000.
After leaving Kelly tho cyclone passed luto
Tennessee, the next place to fall into it* path
being Bpring Creek, a small town lu Madison
county, where several people were injured,
but no one was killed.
Twenty-on© school children at Tunica. Mis
sissippi, were more or less Injured by the
school house being blown dowu.
CRUELTY IN SIBERIA.
An American Mallor Tells of Horrible
Treatment Itecelwtl.
Loomis A. I’aradyce, a sailor, who has ar
rived at Ban Francisco from China on the
Gaelic, tell* a story of horrible treatment In
BHterlun prisons. He was a sailor on the
sailing schooner Mary 11. Thomas, and w ith
another sailor, named Wilton, went ashore
on the t oast of Kamchatka to fill water cask*.
A hurricane drove the schooner off and the
men were left ashore. They had uo provision*
and traveled iulaud to a camp of Russian
soldiers. There they were seized and accused
of being spies. They were sent toGarascock,
u convict station. Parodyce tells of the horri
ble cruelty Inflicted on the prisoners there.
Although Wilson and himself were roughly
treated they were r.ot flogged as other pris
oners were. There were about <I,OOO convicts
nt the station, and every Wednesday those
who lud disobeyed rules during the week
were given fifty lashes with the knout. A
woman about to become a mother was
knoutted and three hours later gave birth to
a dead child.
Of 6,000 convicts in camp 1,800 wore a ball
and chain. Many men were too feeble to
walk and were dragged along by their com
panion*. Boldlers would prod them with
bayonets to make them move more quickly.
The convict* were fed with black bread and
ruw salt meat. Finally l’aradycc and Wilson
were tnkeu to Vladtvostock. From there
they were sent to the Kara gold field*, a fif
teen days’ Journey. They suffered frightfully
from hunger and fatigue. Wilson gave out
nml had to he carried In a wagon. I he L’nllrd
Suites ship Marlon arrived nt Vlndlvoslock
and the officers were Informed by a merchant
named Smith of Psradycc and Wilson’s fate.
The euptaln of the Marlon demanded that the
prisoners be given up, nml after considerable
delay this was done. They were taken to
Shanghai on the Marlon and placed In n hos
pital. As stain a* Pnradyce was able to travel
he was sent to Ilong Kong nti the Gaelic and
then came home.

SOME PIRATE PLUNDER.
STRANCE DISCOVERY MADE
BY A SEA CAPTAIN.
A Cheat Full of Silverware—The Free
booter's Kenilesvous In an Is
land Harbor lu the Gulf
of California.
j
There are millions of dollars worth ;
of pirulo tronsuro sunk away near '
one of the islands in tho gulf of Call- j
fornia, according to tho statements j
made by Captain S. 1). Metcalf.
••One hundred years ago very little I
was known about the gulf of Cali
fornia, bo you can see that thoro was
an extreme probability that the
cautious pirates would grusp tho op
portunity of making it a place to go
and mnkc repairs and store their
plunder.
••While poking about tno gulf I
made researches, and about live years
ago 1 lilt on a sturtling discovery.
••While sailing about in my schoon
er for hides and other things I acci
dentally came across a •closed' harbor
ut one of the islands whore I touched.
Alt hough my schooner was a small
one I feared to take her in, and so
went in a small boat.
Tho precipitous coust lino hid from
view an entrance into the island.
Through this entrance I went in my
boat. I found the passage about 400
feet wide and about a mile in length.
It then took a sudden turn and broad
ened out into a fair-sized harbor,with
about two fathoms of water at the
lowest tide.
••Atthe northern end of this har
bor, where the water maintained its
deptli to tho very edge of tho bank,
were the evidences of a small settle
ment.
••It consisted of a score or more
of log and adobe houses, with
which time had dealt very kindly.
••In some of tho houses were arti
cles of furniture, such as tables,
chairs and cooking utensils.
••I returned to my schooner, uml
piloting her up to the settlement 1
remained there several days, making
extended researches.
‘•I found several old-fashioned pis
tols, a cutlass and some other trinkets
which I have retained.
“While rummaging about in one of
the adobe houses I ran across a chart
that was folded away in a lot of
pai>et*s, which at first I did not con
sider of much value.
“After 1 sailed out of the place the
idea kind of struck me that the chart
might possibly tell where tho pirates
hid their treasures.
••The map was on parchment and
though the lines had been murked in
indelible ink it had faded consider
ably.
••In some places tho lines were ho
indistinct as to bo almost untraeo
able.
“A month afterward I returned to
the spot where I hud inudt- the dis
coveries and I determined upon find
ing what the map led to.
**l spent several weeks trying to
make that map fit the surroundings
of tho harbor, but could not do it.
••But somehow or other I could not
go away. Tho idea of unearthing
private treasure held me to the
place.
••I resolved to remain a little
longer and if I could not mukc head
nor tail of tho map I would give it
up.
“Several days afterward, though. I
hud solved the mystery of the map’s
tracing.
“There was a high hill somewhat
back of the abandoned settlement,
and from it the pirates had evidently
taken their bearings.
“From this spot a line run on the
map duo south. The tracings on the
map followed this imaginary line. I
began to see duyiight ahead.
••In u few days more I solved the
mystery, anti was able to reach tho
spot where the map indicated some
thing was located.

century or so thut had ulupsed since

The Bullet That Killed Lord Nelson.
The musket ball that killed Lord
Nelson, the “hero of Trafalgar.” 1b at
present the subject of much discus
sion. One writer claims that it is
among tho treasured relies of the
British museum; another that it is
among the many mementos of the
Into prince, consort, which Queen
Victoria carries with her in her peri
odic trips from Windsor to Balmorul.
Beattie, the surgeon on board the
Victory on the day of Nelson's death,
and the man who removed the bullet
from the b:idv of the dead admiral,
says in Ills “Authentic Narrative of
the Death of Lord Nelson:” “The
fatal ball struck the forepart of his
lordship's epaulet and entered tho left
shoulder. * * * On removing the
bull I noticed that a piece of tho gold
luce, a part of tho epaulet and a small
piece of Ills cont were firmly uttached
to it.. - ’ Indeed, tho adhesion men
tioned by .Surgeon Beattie was almost,
as close as if the fragments had lieen
driven against tho metal when it was
in u molten state. Tito next that was
heard of this relic it was in tho hands
of one Captain Hardy, who had it
mounted in a silver locket with crys

it to Surgeon Beattie. After the death
of Peat tic it fell to Kev. F. W. Barker
of Bothwick, who presented it to the
prince consort in 1851.—St. Louis Re
