LAKE BENTON, Aug. 14.-This place
was visited by the most destructive hail
storm yesterday that was ever known in
this vicinity. Nearly every pane Of glass
on the north and west sides of buildings
was broken. In the country everything

the storm was annihilated.
A terrific hailstorm passed over Fulda.

poured down for half an hour breaking
hundreds of windows and stripping the
leaves and small branches from the trees.
The farmers report the corn and flax
badly damaged. Most of the wheat, oats
and barley had been cut. What was
standing will not produce one-third of
crop.
At Ellsworth, Mimi, terrific wind

complete wreck. A dark cloud, with Il
greeGish tint along it's edges, came swirl
ing in from the northwest and crushed

ago a suit for $4,000 damages against the
Southern Pacific Company was brought
by Thomas d. Riordan, attorney for the
Chinese Consulate in this city, acting in

was based on the fact that the Southern
Pacific Company, through an agent, re-
fused to sell railroad ticket from San
Francisco to Sacramento to Gee Chong
Tone. The purpose of the suit is to at
tack and test the Chinese registration law
passed by the California Legislature in
Its last session.

admitted that the company refused TO sell
the ticket To Gee Chong Tone as alleged,

Contractor Armstrong, who previously
refused to answer certain questions, made
clean breast of it. He saw that when the
effort to reorganiZe the company failed he
set about organizing a new syndicate
as he had heavy claims against the road
in New York. He held a lengthy con-
ference with Premier Mercier and other
members of the Quebec provisional gov
ernment. In order to complete the deal
he got Ernest Bacaud, editor of the
Lelectear, the Government organ, to act
as agent between himself and the Gov
ernment. An arrangement was made by
which the Government paid him in SUBJ
sides $l75,000. The witness repaid
Bacaud Sl00,000, retaining only $40, 5000
The statement created a sensation.
''Bacaud, when called on" said wit
ness, complained of the Government in
paying the money" Bacaud showed wit
ness list of names of persons whose
debts had to be liquidated. Among the
names appeared r. |. Tart, NJ. P.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 14.-InfOrmation has
just reached this city of a disastrous
cloudburst at Campo, this county, on
Wednesday. The town is situated at the
mouth Of ravine, and a torrent of water
came down on the town, washing away
everything that could be moved and de-
stroying many head of livestock. No
lives were lost.
The information regarding the cloud
burst at Campo was brought in by the
driver of the stage running from this
point to Campo. He says that two heavily
laden clouds came in collision above the
mountains west of Campo, and their con-
tents were sent down in a deluge.
The waters came down the ravine in a
torrent from fifteen to twenty feet deep,
and swept over Campo without a mo-
ment's warming.
Campo is a small place, with not over
eight houses, but with one exception
every one of these was swept away, and
1t is remarkable that no lives were:lost.
No estimate can be given of the losses,
but they will not be heavy.

SAN BERNARDINo, Aug. IA heavy
storm ragged for many hours in the

water. Probably nearly half an inch
fell. The wind shifted again and the rain
stopped.
A branch Of the storm followed around
the mountains, and it rained heavily
northwest of this city. No damage was
done. The weather is hot and sultry.
