June 5.-The people of this little
town and vicinity were shocked yes
terday evening by terrific hurri-

the Northwest, and moved with
great velocity, bringing a dense
cloud of dust and dirt, which rem

only few minutes, but did consid-
cradle damage. Hundreds of trees
were blown down, fences scattered
and several of the largest business
houses here were badly shaken, and
some of them careened. The Bap-

mp few feet and ran one of the
wheels over his leg, severing it near
the hip joint. Physicians were
summoned, but they could do moth

At 1:30 o'clock in great agony"
This telegram was not printed,
Tor the reason that it came in at a
late hour, and was not then deemed
OF imporsance, il not stating any
thing about who Williams was.
1t was great shock to us about
eight o'clock to hear the sad news
on the streets, and that it was really

The remains were brought to the
city on the | | o'clock train from the

Mr.. Donnie Woodall. They were
conducted from the depot by the

The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon at the First

course of friends witnessed his in.
terment.
1t was sad day for his many
friends in this city, for here he was
best known and more universally
loved. He was bright and promis

which he was devoted.

They Make "a Lengthy Trip Through the
Famous Death Valley.

Famous Death Valley.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 15.-About q
month ago Bob Montgomery, brother
of the famous prospector who located
the Montgomery mines, together with
two companions named Sherwood and
Metcalfe. set out from the Montgom-
cry mining camp with six jacks
on prospecting trip in the
foothills around Death valley. They
are all old hands at roughing it, but
they agree that the valley was well
named. In making the trip down Fur
mace creek To Cottonwood a hot wind
came up in which it was nj xt to impos-
sible for them to get their breath.
The animals began to give up and
they were compelled to abandon
their packs and start on hunt
for water. What little they had lett
they mixed with vinegar and oatmeai,
but the intense heat soured the oat-
meal and made the mixture SO hot that
it would actually burn them when they
wet their swollen tongues with it.
They found the remains of the wagons
of the lost party of emigrants that
separated from the Townsend party.
They found bones. but the heat had
almost reduced them to powder, and
the woodwork on the wagons had
all been burned by the Indians. The
Townsend party started from salt Lake
for Los Angeles and were piloted into
neath valley 10y a man named Burnett,
where they quarreled and separated.
Their stock all died from drinking the
poison water at Poison spring, Star
walton and heat decimated the party.
Burnett brought his wife and child
to San Bernardino on an OK, but both
died soon after. A party of nine started
from Sacramento, but were never heard
from. Some few made their way
through. There were 120 wagons in
the trains and not one ever reached
the coast 1t is estimated that from
thirty to eighty persons died at Fur
nance creek. Montgomery party
found an abundance of water on
the west side of Death val
ley and several OTHER springs
and streams that in all probable
ity have never been seen by white
men before. In Cottonwood canyon
Montgomery found several hundred
Shoshone Indians, apparently IN pros
porous and conteuted condition. who
We're much surprised and delighted to
see a white man come from the burn
