A Race With a Cyclone.

Andrew Gray. bronzed western
cowboy. who is known among the
Indians of northwestern Texas by the
suggestive title "Jug-o'-rum, spent a
few hours in this city yesterday. He
was interviewed by n Republican re-
porter last evening. and gave a graphic
description of cyclone that once on
time made dash for Mr.. Jug-o rum.
and from which he narrowly escaped.
Said he:
