The storm in Southwestern Kansas.


WICHITA, Kan, April "A tornado,
attended by the greatest of fatalities
ever credited to a single storm in the
state, swept over southwestern Kansas,
Thursday night, leaving in its wake,
death and destruction. The storm
seems to have first descended upon
Kiowa and jumped from there to New
Haven, Sumner county, through which
it cut swath nearly mile
wide, wherever it descended to the
earth. Jumping this (Sedgwicl1 county,
the wind next bombarded Butler county
to the east and almost obliterated the
village of Augusta and Towanda, leav-
ing so little standing in the latter that
it is a marvel how soul escaped. But
one building was left in Towanda, a
place of 800 souls. Five people were
killed outright, namely:
DR.. J. d. Godfrey.
I'll. Cupp.
]. B. Bailey.
John Blake.
George Blake.
Ten more are fatally injured and half
hundred more or less seriously
MANNED.
At Augusta the Killed are:
Harmon Hoskins.
James Barnes.
Child of Will Rhodes.
The child was blown out of its
mothers arms, and its head and body
were later picked up a hundred feet
apart. Will Rhodes is fatally injured,
as is also the wife of Hoskins. Fifteen
others were badly hurt.
At Kiowa, the Missouri Pacific depot
and buildings were demolished, but no
loss of life is reported
Sumner county suffered largely both
in loss of life and property. For 10
miles everything that the wind came in
contact with was destroyed.
Near New Haven, Ben I'll. Maple and
son and w. r. Morehouse are reported
to have received fatal injuries.
South of Wellington, VIM. sLittle's

While women, babies and furniture were
being bundled promscu0usly into the street

two hours hard work the fire was under

the exception of the blaZrS that would

the property of the public, as the land has
been partly condemned for new streets.

of Supervisors, demanding that the fences
around the track be pulled down, so that

The Fire Fighters Could Not Sare 1t.
O'Clock second alarm was sounded. This
summoned all the fremen and fire-fghting
paraphernalia within the district.
Within two hours the flames had caused
loss of at least 100000, and had rendered
a dozen poor families homeless.
The fire started in the hayluft of the Stet-
SON. Renner Drayage Company's barn on
Fifth street. near Bryant The building
extended back sixty feet from Fifth street.
and In the rear was a shed in which draws
and light wagons were kept.
Beneath the SEQ tons OF hay in the loft
the horses were stabbed on the ground
floor. A part OF the stable was rented TO
c. b. Rode & Co., draymen, who also sus-
tanned heavy losses.
As many af the teams were hauling fruit
and had to leave the stable at 80 o'clock,
Bergen began 10 feed the animals as early as
l o'clock yesterday morning. He carried
an old WORKOUT lantern while making his
rounds. Recently he asked his employers
20 buy new lantern. but they refused.
Had they needed his complaint the dsas-
trous FIRE would have been Rverted.
Bergen proceeded with his work and
passed through The high tiers Of baled hay
for over two hours before the aged lantern
exploded. He had left the lantern In one
passaSeway and was loading a truck In an-
other when he heard a loud explosion Be-
fore he realized what had occurred the
flames were spreading through the bales of
hay with alarming rapidity. Leaping over
his truck Bergen dashed through wall of
fire and smoke and dropped to the ground
floor. He lost no time in sending in au
alarm from an auxiliary box.
Before the fire-engines arrived Bergen
began to llberate the horses Imprisoned in
the stable. Seven of the animals and cow
tied in the rear shed were overcome by the
heat and smoke and burned, Before an at
tempt could be made to rescue them the
stable and sheds were a mass OF seethng
flame. Entrance or exit was impossible.
SO the unfortunate animals were cremated

Owing to the high rates there was very
little insurance upon the buildings burned.
The buildings in which the fire started
were owned by the Adams estate and III
sured for $1,000. The Stetson-Renner Com
pany carried no insurance, trusting to
Waterman Bergen and a defective lantern
for protection. AS a result the firm Is out
just $4,000. ROde's loss was $1,000. and
the Weston Company sustained damage
of sec. 600, upon which there was $4,000 in
surance. The damage to smaller buildings
completes the total list of losses.
Many were the exciting incidents during
the progress OF the fire. Captain White
and eight of his men were in the building

covered them with debris. They managed
