HURRIED TO DEATH.
Six Women Horribly Mangled at
Kalamazoo, Mich.

Kalamazoo, Mich, May S.-About $50
O'Clock this evening at the West Main
street crossing of the Michigan Central
railroad, a street car containing seven
ladies and two gentlemen was crossing the
treck when switch engine dashed down
upon 1t at high rate Of speed, and the
driver being unable to get the car out Of
the way, the helpless passengers were
hurled TO terrible death. The street car
was carried almost to Academy street, the
pieces flying in all directions and the humax
freight being mangled in horrible names.
Those In the car were: Mrs. Alexander
Haddock, Mrs. M. E. Wattles, Miss Ger
trude Tillotsom, Mrs. Geo. Smiley, Mrs.
Middleton, Mrs. Van Antwerp, Mrs. s. A.
Gibson, Mrs. Jonathan Barnes, l.. C. LuH
and DR.. Sutton. The first six were killed,
two being found dead in the cattle guard,
one IN the creek near by, two on the track
and one In the roadway.
Mrs. Gibson was injured in the head and
side and Mrs Barnes was badly bruised.
The male passengers both escaped. The
driver OF the car escaped by jumping.
The switch engine was running at high
rate of speed.
The gates at the crossing where it &C.
cured are not used between $50 and 6;5S
p. m. the gatekeeper going home at that
time. This custom probably deceived the
driver Of the street car, who was a new
man and he supposed that the gates would
be down il the engine was coming,

down he dust and saved the fields from
the tearing up they have had.
&. W. Fink, a farmer, from Wellesley
few miles from Huron, told OF the mos,
wond, rful phenomena in connection with
wind storms in the Territory. The dir,
had been blown as fuTiously in his part OF
the Territory as any. In some places which
were protected by buildings or fences,
drifts as high as his hip pockets had formed
he SAID. OF fine sand, which was packed to-
gether precisely as snow drifts under bliz
zard. Ii would have been almost impos-
sible to have lived out OF doors at some
periods of the storm.
81 would much rather have taken
chances of being caught out in blizzard
of two years ago." said Mr.. Fink. While
on his way to ST. Paul, over the Manitoba
road, Mr.. Fink said the train passed
through what was apparently storm OF
dust, which seemed 10 be almost white,
Ii looked much like snow storm, and the
sun was hidden. 1t was impossible to dis
tinguish objects at distance of more than
few feet away. Mr.. Fink said that the
wind in Dakots, near his home, had been
different this year from any he had ever
known. There was so much electricity In
the atmosphere that it was possible to- get
a spark from almost any metallic body.
When the wind was raging most fu-iously
the electric phenomena were most notice
able.
"The stoves in the houses were so
charged with elet tricity that one could
hardly endurs the shock that came from
contact with them," he said. IF you
touched your finger TO a chsnd Her, a
spark came from il with cracking noise
Electrical phenomena OF a remarkable
character were reported on all sides. A
gentleman who lives near Huron. told me
that a barbed wire fence on mis- farm
became so Charged with electricity that one
day, when the wire broke and one end of
it struck the dry grass on the ground,
the grass at once took IRE. \ representa-
tives of the Scientific American, studying
the nature OF the winds at Huron and the
electrical phenomena which accompanied
them. advanced the idea that the atmos-
phere was so charged with electricity that
it only lacked two or three degrees OF pro-
duciDg spontaneous combustion. All over
the Territory there was enough electricity
in the air to help along the fires that were
burning there some weeks ago"

Stafford County Kansas Left
a Total Wreck.

Hutchinson Kan, May S.-The wind
storm which has been raging over Kansas
for the past three days and nights culmi-
ern part of Stafford county Monday night
The district visited was but sparsely set
tied. Had il been otherwise the loss of
life and property would have been some
thing terrible. AS il is, there is scarcely
a vestige of farm improvements remaining.
Houses and barns were demolished, trees
torn up by their roots. and in many places
the growing crops literally torn out of the
ground. Last Saturday the wind began
blowing gale from the south. This
continued to increase in velocity through
out Sunday and Sunday night, and
by Monday it had became perfect hurri-
cane. Toe air was filled with dust and
sand which at times would obscure the
sun. Late In the afternoon yesterday the
sky became thick with black clouds and a
deep toned thunder and f-ightful flashes OF
lightning indicated the approach OF some
kind OF a storm of unusual severity At
times the wind would lull as If to regain
strength and then break forth with renew
ed fury. Ii was after one of these momen-
tary cessatiOns that the funnel shaped cloud
came dripping It's remorseless tail to the
earth and obliteratina whatever came in its
pathway. On it came like a cavalry
charge, drowning in its roar the peals OF
thunder and binding IN its darkness the
forked flashes of lightning. A number were
killed outright and many injured.
The path of the storm lay through Stat.
ford comfy, extending from the southwest
the northeast, slightly east of the center
of the county. The first building struck
was the farm house of Z. Slade, about six
miles south Of the town of Stafford. The
house was swept away and hardly splin-
ter of it left. The family we're considers
bly, bruised, but none have died. The next
building to succumb was the home of Al
Guinup, a short distance northeast of
Shades. Both house and barn are
gone. Guinup was badly injured, but il is
expected he will live. Mrs. A. Potter. a
widow lady, had her house and stable
blown away, but the family escaped unin-
jured. The next house In the pathway of
the cyclone was that OF Mrs. Lindsay, who
lived with her two step children, Maude
and William Blue. The house was torn to
pieces and Mrs. Lindsay so injured that
she can scarcely recover. George Dever's
house was demolished and his little girl
fatally Injured.

DAkOTA'S HURRICANE.
1t Causes Wide Spread and
Dreadful Destruction.

ST. Paul, Mimi, May S-According to
the stories which several well-6nowu men
of Dakota tell OF the recent storm of wind
in the great Territory, some paris of the
prairie have been swept as if by the breath
of the sirocco. Nothing like it has len
seen for years, if, indeed, il ever was, Hot
as simeon, the wind blew over the dry,
parched fields, and as il went, tore up the
fine earth and whirled it along as the wind
drives snow In the winter. The air was
filled until it clouded the face OF the sun,
which was sometimes hidden for an hour
at time by the eclipse Of sand. 1t was
almost impossible to live in the unpro-
tected spots. The excessive drouth
was the cause of the trouble. The
helds were as dry as powder
house from the long period OF bright sun
shine, and the soil 10 depth OF or )
inches in some places was torn up and
