School Entertainment.

The auditorium was crowded to its
fullest capacity Friday night to wit
ness annual SchOo, entertainment Of
the Wellington city schools. The
cantata, "Titania,' OF the entertain
ment was one OF the main features.
1t was preceded by delightful pro-

was opened with song by the Prlm-
airy chorus. This was followed with a
selection, Fidelity Waltz" by the
Public School orchestra. Twenty
boys and girls Of the Third grade gave
a drill In caliSthenicS, which was ex.
cellent. Miss Mary Hayes gave a
good recitation and Miss Gladys Chr

cellent vocal duet. A recitation by
Miss Mary Anderson was much appre.
ciated. A Song, miss Ambolena

one Of the most amusing numbers on
the program.

of hail fell east Of Virgil Wright's
farm. At Riverdale a cloudburst
flooded the country until the roads
were several feet under water. A
waterspout occurred at Mulvane.
The area of wheat said to be totally
destroyed by hail is four miles long
and mile wide. John Love lost 10
acres. The window lights in a build
ing on his place were' broken out and
the hail piled up knee deep in the
building. He was in the city Saturday
and personally told US of the facts.
He was forced to flee to cyclone cave
with his family and expected every
moment to see his house, barn and
buildings blown away by the cyclone
that followed the hail storm. During
the passage of the storm it was CON-
paratively still in Wellington.
Mr.. Love says that ], W. Twyman
lost about $50 acres Of wheat. Jim
Love lost all his wheat. Bob Smith

Watersp0ut at MuIyane.

Wichita Eagle, Saturday.
Yesterday afternoon while 1t was
raining and hailing in Wichita the
town Of Mulyane was visited with a
small sized waterspout. The Santa
Fe train, which had already arrived
from the south, had to pass through
about foot Of water which covered
the track for some distance. All
about the depot, water covered the
ground to the depth of at least foot
and in the low places even deeper.
The Santa Fe train from the south
due here at 900 was reported several
hours late, as a bridge across Bitter
Creek, Just south OF Mulvane, had
been washed out. The Santa Fe
officials said last evening that the
washout was only a. small Culvert and
that the train would be in only a few
minutes late. They claimed it was
only small matter. On the south
side of Mulvane where the town is
sloplng and low, it was covered with
water a mile in expanse. Many houses
were completely surrounded with
water. Some places in the gulch the
floors OF the houses were covered with
water. Small buildings, barns and
outh0uses were swept away with the
flood. Chickens and small animals
we're drowned. Bitter Creek was re-
ported to be entirely over its banks.
The heavy fall Of rain only lasted a
few minutes, but it did not cease en-.
tirely for over two hours. The report
may be exaggerated. Travelling men
who came up on the I o'clock train,
are the authority.

Hail Near Mayfield.

Parties in from Mayfeld Saturday
report one Of the worst hail storms in
that vicinity Friday afternoon that
ever occurred in Sumner county.
More than a thousand acres OF wheat
just heading out was totally destroyed.
A furious cyclone followed the hail
storm, but did not touch the ground
anywhere.
The storm occurred about 3 o'clock.
1t was plainly visible from this place,
but no reports OF damage reached here
until next morning. The path Of the
hail storm extended from the Bentley
farm, three miles northwest Of May
field, to the vicinity Of Arson, a dis
lance OF four or five miles. The storm
then changed its course aud went
eastward, but no considerable amount

Temple Showed Fight.

Sheriff Heskett returned last Thurs.
day night from Pond Creek, with Sol
Temple, the thief wanted for robbing
j. Fl. Martin Of Mayfeld. Thesherifl
had lively tussle with Temple after
the habeas corpus proceedings were
disposed Of.
The prisoner was taken to lunch
counter by two deputy United States
mashals before being turned over to
Sheriff Heskett. When the sheriff
attempted to handcuff him Temple
struck him terrific blow on the left
side Of the face and started to run
away. The sheriff caught him and
the two began tussling. The prisoner
succeeded in getting q revolver from
his pocket but it was taken away from
nim by one Of the deputy msrshals.
Heskett threw Temple down aud
while putting the handouts on him
one OF Temples friends attempted to
pull the sheriff off. Heskett threaten.
ed the fellows life and he desisted.
About a dozen OF Temples friends
from near Medford we're in the crowd,
and for awhile the situation looked
serious. At LEAST dozen guns were
pulled. Temple had been released on
bail a second time, pending the
habeas corpus proceedings. Because
gun had been taken away from TEN
pie when arrested the sheriff thought
he was unaImed when he appeared
for trial yesterday. TIE habeas cor
pus proceedings were hard fought on
both sides. County Attorney Rogers
represented the state. Sheriff Hos
kett says that Rogers made a very
strong plea on behalf OF the state and
he gives the county attorney credit
for getting Temple out of Oklahoma,

Our Water Supply,
Prof. Erasmus Haworth, NJ. s., Pt

Prof. Erasmus Haworth, NJ. S., Phi.
D., professor of physical geology, min
eralogy and Photography in the state
university at Lawrence, state geOlO-
gist, submitted the result of his In.
vestigatiOns Of the water bearing
strata Of this locality at a special
session Of the council Thursday night.
Wellington is iu the center Of a sec
tion Of the state where no investiga.
tions had ever been made by Prof.
Haworth. He stated that evening
that he found the formations here to
be just what he had cOnjectured them
TO be, judging from his knowledge Of
adjacent territory. There is hardly
township in the state outside of
Sumner county which Prof. Haworth
has not traversed and inspected the
soil and earth formation.
The water as general rule in this
portion of the county is very bad and
the supply is limited. His explana.
tionS OF the earth formations and
reasons why there can be no under
ground supply Of water here were
technical and Very plausible. There
are no beds Of sand within a radius OF
six miles Of Wellington capable Of
holding very large supply of water.
The largest underground watersupply
is right in the Rock Island bottoms 10
the southwest portion OF the city, but
that is limited. The slate or shale
there is In the form Of cup. This
cup lie filled with large bed OF sand,
which holds water sufficient to last a
city Of Wellington's size two or three
months, but the drainage to this cup
Is not sufficient to warrant the city
depending upon it for a lasting water
supply. Prof. Haworth, speaking
from his Investigations Of the
two days, freely expressed the opinion
that the city would not be justified in
spending a single dollar boring for
water anywhere within a radius OF
six or eight miles. The question now
is, where is the nearest supply ano
what is the easiest way to get it here
and how much will it cost?
The lowest estimate that is placed
upon the cost OF putting In water
drainage or pumping system to secure
water from the Ninnescah is 800, 1000.
Other conservative estimates place the
figure at sl5O,OOO.
y. V. Hinckley, a civil engineer,
who has been attending a railroad
law suit here, was present at the
council meeting that night and made
the city proposition to put in a
waterwOrks system of our own, for 3
per cent. Mr.. HinCkley put 10 New
toms water system and did a good job.
The price usually charged by civil en-
gineers is 8 per cent, but Mr.. Hinckley
offered to do the work for Wellington
at 3 per cent, because be only charged
Newton that amount.
