property damaged. Within four hours
at Cameron yesterday 15 inches of rain
fell. A thousand feet of the' Santa Fe
tracks was carried away and a portion
ot tlio Arkansas Pass road destroyed.

LAND SALE ABANDONED.
Congress Fixed Too tilth a Price on Tracts
Near Pocatcllo, Idaho. .
Washington, July 29. Assistant
Land Commissioner Richards has not I
fied the interior department that the
auctioning cf lands within the five-mile
limit of Pocatello, on the Fort Hall
reservation. Idaho, has been aban
doned. During the seven days that
sales were conducted, only 09 tracts
were disposed of, from which the gov
eminent realized HZ, 437. Bids were
made for fcur additional tracts, but
were subsequently withdrawn. With
these exceptions, no purchasers ap
peared to take np the hulk of the land,
which was considered not worth the
minimum price of f 10 an acre fixed by
law. These surplus lands must now
remain idle and unoccupied nntil con
gress repeals the $10 limiting pro
vision.
Tho fact that the sales were so few
is conclusive evidence to the depart
ment that the contention, of tho Idaho
senators that no minerals exist on these
lands was correct, and that the state
ment was circulated with a fraudulent
intent. Commissioner Richards has
started for Washington.

the crowd back by leveling their cuns
at them, took up tho march to the jail.
About 8 o'clock tho deputies made an
