CnERRYvALE, Kan, April Storm
stricken southern Kansas received an
other visitation OF the dread monster
Sunday afternoon. This time the in
strnment OF destruction was the genu-
inc cyclone, funnel-shaped cloud,
which whirling and twisting carried
everything before II on its journey from
southwest to northeast
This Is the list Of casualties: Mrs.
John Reeves, killed instantly; John
Reeves fatally injurcd Mrs. Perry
Nixon, seriously injured; Mrs. T. X.
Lawson, struck by lightning.
The storm made its first manifesto
tion at Liberty, eight miles south Of
this city, where il carried away part OF
the Southern Kansas depot. scattered
the contents Of S. A. Brown & Co.'S
lumber yard and overturned several
small houses
Three miles further 10 the northeast
il struck the farm house OF DR. J. +.
Gard Of this city, occupied by John
Reeves. carried away the house, barn
and outbuilding, killed Mrs Reeves
outright and fatally injured Mr.. Reeves.
From this point the cyclone eontin-
ued the destruction of fences, hay
stacks, orchards and small buildings
until it came TO a farm house three
miles southeast Of this town occupied
by J. J. Emmerson. who until a short
time since resided in Cherryvale. IL
blew the house and barn away and car
ried Mr.. and Mrs. Emmerson several
hundred feet seriously injuring them.
One-half mile further on IL struck the
house of l.. Baker, scattering 1t over
adjacent fields. leaving Mr.. Baker and
his three daughters huddlcd in heap
on the floor, which alone remained on
the found? tion.
Among other places still further
north and east which were damaged
were those of Perry Nixon, Nelson War
ner and Fred Wagoner. Mrs. Nixon
was the only one in that neighborhood
who sustained serious injury, although
the houses and barns in the path of the
storm in that locality were completely
demolished
The summary of the storms casual
tiles in this vicinity is one killed, three
badly and sixty slightly injured. The
only damage done in this city was a
number Of window lights broken by the
hail. The destruction of property in

In that enormous waste known as the
Cobb desert, north of China, showers
sometimes fall during the summer, and
the torrents of a day fill the dried-up
water courses through which water sell
dom runs. 1t is in these channels that
the Mongols dig their wells, expecting
To find little water, when upon the
surface Of the plateau itself the soil has
lost all traces of humidity. II is owing
to the fact that part of the moisture
falling during a few rainy days is thus
preserved within reach that it is possi-
