The Western Storms.

CHIClGo, June 25.-Advices received al
the headquarters Of the Chicago & North
western railroad In this city indicate that
the destruction by the oloudburst In north
western Iowa yesterday Is more widespread
than the news dispatches thus far received
suggest. The telegraph lines In this terri
tory are greatly demoralizsd, and the worst
is feared in the way of damage and possible
loss of lives along the water courses which
traverse this great seclion OF the State.
The destruction OF property alone In Che
rokee is about 100000 Decides almost all
of the stock pastured along the Sioux was
carried away by the food, only few AMI
mails being asved as they came down the
river.

rolled from her back. For q few Sec
onds he could not see and his limbs
bled so that he could not walk.
He knew what sight would meet him.
All at once he steadied up and the dim
ness left his eyes; he braced himself to
meet the worst. few steps from him
lay the body of his little boy Georgia,
the one that was to bring him his lunch
and drink at noon. He bent over and
tenderly kissed the little dead face.
1.-Two more" he whispered to himself;
1.-TWO more; where are they?' They
were not far away--the little girl,
three years old, with long brown hair,
and the wife-dead and the scalping
knife had done its work. He did not
cry; he did not even groan, but the
look of life had gone out of his face.
Side by side he laid the three, around
whom all his hopes, all his ambitions,
his love, was centered, now gone from
him in a moment it seemed. Silently
he gazed at them for time and then
turned away. His must be the hand to
fashion their last resting place. AS he
turned away to look about again he
heard light whinny come from the
cattle yard and he walked that way.
There stood Fan over the body of her
colt whinnying pitifully and nudging it
with her nose to induce it to get up
Your baby, too, hey, Fan. Poor
| Fan! poor me!'
He staid by his dead all day and all
night; then he laid them gently in the
grave he made them, pressing last
kiss upon the unresponsive lips of each.
| His task finished, he mounted Fan, and
drawing rein beside the mounds for a
last look, raised his hand toward
| heaven and took oath: 81 swear before
God, beside the graves of my dead,
that so long as have life shall hunt
Apaches. They have ~obbed me of all,
and my hate shall never be satisfied"
A couple of officers We're enjoying
their after-dinner smoke sitting in
chairs tilted back against the shady
side OF the quartermaster's building.
Say, captain, have you noticed any
thing strange about these Apaches
since we brought them back to the res.
ervation?"
Nothing special that can think of
They're grisly lot anyway. Why do
you ask?"
Because I've noticed now that they
keep close to headquarters and don't
go out in bands of two or three; and
again, they're. holding lots of pow
vows, and every day or sothey bring in
a dead buck"
"Oh, have you just found that out?
Why, that's old to everybody but the
reds, and with them it isn't allowed to
get old. Ever since the Sandy Fork
raid, that the Apaches made. they have
