Capt. Boggs, Virginian, who beld a
captains license on the Mississippi river
before he was Of age, aud who for four
teen years bad the contract to supply the
military posts in Utah, Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona with fuel, tells the
following story:
Il was down in the Ute Reservation
in Colorado, aud had strolled down to
the shores of a small lake, while my
mules and teamsters were eating dinner.
when | came across party OF about a
dozen Indians. They were armed with
rifles and were shooting at snag which
stuck out OF the water about two hun
dred yards distant. The stakes for
which they were shooting were composed
OF quarter of dollar from each man.
stood watching them for some time,
and then decided to enter the competi-
tion. Each man had three shots, and
the man who had hit the snag the most
times won the pot. The misses were
told by the splash in the water; the hits
by the absence of the splash.
'After some parley with the redskins
| got them to allow me to enter the
match, though they compelled me to de-
post half dollar, while they put in but
quarter. / had Henry repeater with
me, that, fortunately for my purpose,
was then unloaded / was accounted
one OF the best shots in that country,
but knew that the Iodians we're not by
any means slow. slipped three cart
ridges into my rifle, and, as did so, /
broke the ball off, thus leaving blank
cartridge. or course no splash followed
any Of my shots. and the Indians thought
l hit the soag every time. / won that
pot, but the next time Intentionally
lost by not breaking the balls off, and by
taking Indifferent aim.
II then broke all the balls off until / had
won SIS. Then the Indians, who began
to look at me with suspicion or awe. re-
fused to shoot any more. invited them
up to the store and spent the money on
nick -nacks, which ! divided among
them then took them back to the
lake and showed them the trick. They
were very much surprised, but took it 10
good part.
ION returning that way few days
after ! found the same Indians on the
lake shore. shooting big match with q
neighborlng tribe, whom they were
rapidly cleaning out OF everything. l

Indian in the country that they could
get to shoot against them. | said noth-
ing. but mused on the readiness of the

SCHOOIHOUsE. KANSAS CITY.


Minnesota and the northwestern states
have had their experience, and even New
England and Virginia an Pennsylvania
have not escaped. April, May and June are
the tornado months. In the west recently,
Kansas City, Mo-, suffered most This is a
town of wonderful enterprise, pluck, in
dustry and money.
One of the houses wrecked was the Lathrop
public school building. 1t had lately had
wing put to it for an art school If art is
failure in this country it will not be because
the west is not cultivating it, Almost every
village has its art school.
The Lathrop school house was topped with
a great ungainly tower of masonry. Twice
it had been pronounced unsafe and twice
condemned, the last time only few weeks
ago, but no attention was paid to the warn
ing If it had been needed the score or more
of little children now lying crushed
and cold in death might have been yet
alive The tornado struck the northwest
corner of the house. The huge tower swayed
a moment. uncertain, then toppled and fell
inward through the centre of the structure.
The house was full of pupils. Before the
storm cloud burst the air had been fearfully
still. and the heavens had turned dark as
twilight.

Views Of Buildings Destroyed at kan
City, Mo.
Just what this country is coming to it is
hard to tell In the early part of the CEN
tury, tornadoes were almost unknown. Even
thirty years ago they were of the rarest
occurrence. One which passed through Cen
trail and Southern Ohio about twenty eight
years ago has become historic. But now no
part of the country seems safe from earth
quakes and tornadoes If we are to be
whipped about in this sort of way all over
the land every year or two, what are we
coming to. indeed!
At Xenia, O., twenty-six persons lost their
lives in the tornado and food of May II Ten
others are vet missing. They were mostly
colorel and lived near the creek. 1t Is
nearly always the poor and the lowly who
suffer.
Archer creek is an insignificant stream
that runs through Xenia in a way SO unpre-
tentious that it is not thought to be any sort
of run" at all. Culverts bridge it. But
at 9 o'clock at night there came a terrific
thunderclap. A waterspout seemed to strike
that part of the town along Archer creek. A
man residing close to the stream says that in
two minutes after the thunderclap he was
waist deep in water just so suddenly did
the flood come In Illinois and Indiana
there were terrific floods and tornadoes the
same day. Kansas and Missouri had their
turn the day before. 1t looks to be the same
storm passing eastward.

THE COURT HOUSE.
twilight.

The children were frightened, but covered
ouiet at their teachers command till the
storm fell. 1t was the smallest pupils in the
basement. poor little things, that were hurt
most. The storm ragged so terrifically that
all was one wild noise and spin and whirl
for three quarters OF an hour 1t was wind
and water together 1t ceased suddenly and
in a moment the schoolyard was full of
horror stricken people. They began the
work of digging out the dead and crushed
babes The scenes were heartrending as one
after another was recognized by its parents.
1t was time of agony and fear. When the
rescuers were lifting out one girl she begged
them to leave her and help the boy who was
pinned down beside her because he was so
little. only years old. There were heroes
among the tiny creatures who were carried
ont wounded and dying on that sad day.
The county court house was handsome
structure 1t was built on hill, command
ing view of the city. Consequently, it was
exposed to the full fury of the storm. 1t had
been built originally for hotei, but the
county bought it for $500, 600 and changed it
into the court house you see in the picture,
at least that is what it was few days ago.
Now it has no roof at all and most OF the
walls of the third and fourth stories are
gone. 1t is a melancholy ruin. A deputy
sheriff was killed by a falling wall. There
were a number of prisoners in the basement
and for the first time in their lives they had
reason to congratulate themselves that they
were in Jail. They were held safe and unn-
jured in the basement during the storm
