COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
A Peculiat Storm.

KANSAS CITY, April 16.-A storm of
great severity passed over eastern
Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and the
southwest generally yesterday and
last night. In Colorado and Kansas
it is believed 10 have done consider
able damage, but it is impossible to
learn anything from those sections
because Geographic communications
have been cut off since o'clock yes
terday afternoon. For short time
last eveEing Denver was reached on a
very shGky wire, but after 80 minutes
the wire failed and since that time no
word has been received or sent into
Denver direct over the telegraph wires
The storm covered a wide area OF the
northwest, Denver wires via Omaha
also being down. In South Kansas
and Oklahoma much damage was
done to crops. A peculiar feature Of
the storm was the intense darkness
and extraordinary electrical display.
The atmosphere was surcharged with
electricity, and several persons and
horses were shocked. In the western
part of Oklahoma and the panhandle
Egyptian darkness prevailed. Such
a peculiar storm has seldom been
seen, and the superstitious thought
the astronomical conditionsawhich. as
had been claimed by South Carolina
minister are now repeating themselves
for the first time since the death of
Christ, had something to do with it..
The rain that fell in western Oklaho-
ma was actually shower OF mud.
At 10 o'clock slow wire was Sc
cured to Denver, but it is not sure it
will hold any length of time Last
night Denver and the Pacific Coast
were only reached by st. Paul and
the Northwest by Spokane, Seattle,
Portland and thence down to San
Francisco and eastward via Reno and
Salt Lake.
