his house, and for which he has as vet

his door. In the midst of the most
violent gale of the storm, his whole
family was reused by an awful crash.

roof fourteen hy twelve, 90 which was
attached a heavy beam and long
rope, had fallen upon the cedar trees
nearest the house, stripping Off the
limbs and totally crushing the trunks.
A variance of twenty feet and the
flying missile would have struck Mr..
Jaquith's house and no doubt LEFT il in
ruins. Inquiries far and near by Mr..
Jaquith have failed TO determine
where the roof came from. The pres

Tho wondsrraI shoollng which Mad
Fred Erb. of II. Joseph. Ramous.

The Wonderful Shooting Which MRd,
Fred Erb, ofSt. Joseph, Famous.
Western newspapers are deyoting con
siderable space to the late shooting match
in which young Fred Erb, Jr., Of St
Joseph, Mo-, defeated Capt A. II. Bogar
dus, champion wing shot Of the world
The match was for purse of $500 and ffty
per cent. ofthe gate money each to shoot
at 100 birds, from five traps. The traps
were arranged in a sort Of semi-circle,
the marksman not knowing from which
trap the pigeon would be pulled.
No pigeon match that ever took place
before In the Northwest created as much
interest as this one did. Members OF clubs
OF the Missouri Valley, and clubs in the
North and Southwest, as well as hundreds
oil other sharpshooters, were present. The
wind was boisterous and cold before the
shooting began, and when young Erb fired
the last shot, dropping his twentY-third
bird In succession, the thermometer was
working down to zero, and fearful gale
swept over the grounds.
As soon as they were ready to begin
shooting, the st. Joe boy asked the veteran
Captain, who had defeated the best English
shots on their own soil, to open the ball.
The Captain replied that he was always on
hand, stepped promptly to the score and
cried, "Pull." A pigeon rose from trap two,
but dropped before the deadly pellets ere
he had chance 10 look around. Young
Erb faced the champion and toed the score
with nerve and confidence. Shooting al.
ternately with the Captain, the boy drop
ped thirteen birds before he missed, the
Captain missing his third and tenth.
While some Of the pigeons brought down
by both men were Stem.winders, many
were SO terrified or tame that they had to
be clodded up.
When each had shot at fifty birds the
score stood Erb, 40 Bogardus, 43. This
rather astonished the hackers Of Bogardus,
who were in the majority, while the many
hackers OF the st. Joe boy, who had pre-
dicted his winning from the start, were
jubilant, but not boisterously so. Young
Erb had to make fifty shots yet with the
great marksman. As the shooting contin-
ued the birds favored the boy little, and
the veteran experienced hard luck. He
said the wind and dust troubled his eyes.
The boy had never shot under the fve-
trap rules. Each dead shot gave him
greater confidence. Hestepped to the
score, and as the birds rose at any part Of
the seni.circle, he took his range with
lightning rapidity, bringing them down
with unerring aim. When his last bird
fell the score stood, Erb 93, Bogardus IS.
The St. Joe Herald says "The enthusi-
asm on the result cannot well be imagined.
The crowd pressed forward with out
stretched arms to take the victor by the
hand, and some were satisfied to even
touch him. He was bigger man than
