KANSAS Cry. April Mot until to-
day was Geographic communication re.
stored with all that district of southern
Kansas which was visited Thursday by
o terrible cyclone and yesterday by a
terrible tornado. Dispatches tonight
do net report the loss of life other than
that as stated heretofore by the Asso.
ciated Press. Details of incidents of
disasters at various points present
many strange and some horrible features
One strange and at the same time
horrible fate was that which
overlook the family of Albert Eggers,
who lived on farm near Wamego. The
family had retired for the night when
the storm struck the house. The force
of the storm first moved the house from
its foundation and dashed it to pieces
on the ground over 100 feet from its
original position, and then carried away
the debris, so that ii was nearly impos
sible to tell where its destruction had
taken place. Portions of thu house have
been found at distances as far as mile
from it's foundation. Pieces of furni.
ture are scattered all about the place
One chair, but slightly damaged, was
found nearly half mile distant
from the location of the house.
Eggers was the only member of the
family of four who escaped death. Mrs
Eggers. who had been stopping with
her two children, were found nearly q
quarter of a mile srom the location
Olasped in her arms was her months
old babe. Both had apparently been
dashed to death on the ground and were
crushed and mapgled in horrible man
mer. There was scarcely an unbroken
bone in either body. The faces of both
presented the appearance of having
been powder burned. An examination
showed that the force of the wind
had driven in their faces and
under their skin small particles
of sand and dust we're found Eggers
was I, und this morning after the storm
wandering aim]essly about his farm
oblivious of the injuries he had sus
tanned. His right arm was broken and
he was badly bruised. He was
made as comfortable as possible
by those who escaped injury end
soon recovered consciousness. When
told, however, OF the fate of his wife and
children his mind wandered and finally
gave way under the terrible intelligence.
It is not believed be can recover, and
even if he does his reason will lie gone.

that concern. The losses were esti-
mated at 100000 on the stock, and
$4,000 on the building; all covered

LATEST ABOUT aeuLD's PURCHASE

We are informed by gentleman,
who is thoroughly reliable and well
posted, that the information printed
in another column from the Denver
News, 10 absolutely true and that
Gould will not build foot of road
north from Ell Paso, and that he only
brought the ten miles he did in order
to get the terminal facilities, for the
Texas Pacific, which are worth
double what he paid for the entire
ten miles, and also for the purpose Of
getting the transpor alton of freight
to the new military post to be built
about ten miles from El Paso. This
post will be the larg st in the United
States, and the business to be done
over it will make this purchase
valuable investment, as all the stone
for building 1t, as we'll as all the
other supplies, must come over this
line. If Gould had promised the
Ell Paso people that he would build
to White Oaks, he could have had
the road for nothing, as it has been
offered right along to any one who
would build the road. 1t
seems that Ell Paso is determined to
make the most she can by blowing
and she has an accomplished liar to
send out dispatches, but she will find
that that kind of work does not pay
and will only react on the place in
the future.

His daughters stay right in the car
with him and will lot leave the car
without hlm. He Is quite broken
down in health and wants rest, and
moved up to Albuquerque to get away
from the business that was coming
in on him at El Paso. 1t was thought
the trip to Albuquerque had not ben
Gifted him, and if he does not im-
prove in day or two he will go back
to El Paso. If he does improve he
will come on up here and stop at the
Springs for a while. The talk that
he would stop at Cerrillos and Santa
Fe to look up bargains is absolutely
without foundation. The only pur-
chase he cares for at present is health,
and he would probably give a very
large ceeck if he could have as good
health as some of the poor residents
Of the territory.
