and completely demolished the boiler
room and badly injured Charles Hollis,

into two parts, one of which struck on
the bank of the Kaw river and the
other dropped in the middle of the
stream fully 100 yards from its original
foundation. So badly was the boiler
room demolished that, with the excep-
ton of few feet of stone next to the
engine room, it is impossible to see a
trace of even the foundation. Hollis,
the injured man. may recover. The
damage is about 1000.

three dogs with them. They hunted

only a short distance apart Each
couple was somewhat indignant, be-
