We know of a strange coincidence. Some
three years ago a man from Clinton, Ken,
named Graham moved with his family to
Kingman county, He did not dwell in
Kansas satisfactorily, because of an in
ordinate dread Of cyclones on his wife's
part and her dislike for the state because
of its reputation in that way. His eldest
daughter, besides, during his residence in
the state was in continual apprehension of
being scalped by the Indians for which
misfortune she had Especial dread. Mother
and daughter by their dissatisfaction final
ly prevailed on Graham to return to his
old home in Kentucky. This was about a
year ago. Six months ago the town Of
Clinton was struck by cyclone, the
Graham house was completely demolished,
and Mrs. Graham met her death in the
very way she had left Kansas to avoid.
and the still stranger part was that fly
ing timber struck the daughter and sever
ed her scalp. The daughter recovered but
is disfigured. Graham himself was hurt
and is still PROSTATE.
