reached town yesterday morning OF q
cyclone which passed across the coun-
try in the vicinity of Riiou Hills, TWEEN
ty-five miles south of this city Satnr-

of seven persons and the serious INJURY
of two others. The killed are: Charies
Peterson and six children, ranging
from three 10 fifteen years of age. Inc
wife and n remaining child We're so
badly injured that they may also dit.

Peterson place, where the execution
done was simply appalling The deaa
and injured were strewn all ABOUT the

smashed into splinters. The cyclone
destroyed the Crieger premises, tneh
passed into the range OF hills sklrung
tie missouri river. where IL appears TO
have dissolved. The path covered by
the storm was only about twenty
rods wide and ah VT three miles IN
length. The wind was accompanied
by a heavy fall of rain and hail. the

HE main obiectio.

HE main objection brought
against the bill introduced to amend
the school laws is that IL takes away
from the people In the district too
much control Of the school, and vests
this control in the county superinten-
dent OF schools, and the territorial
board of education. This may be
necessary In some OF the counties but
1t Is not at all so In this county. The
citizens OF this county are familiar
with free schools, and do not need to
be guarded SO closely. About the only
thing needed to improve the principle
schools 10 this county those at Silver
City, Demlng, Lordsburg, Pinos Altos,
Georgetown and Central is to increase
the funds used for the support OF
these schools. II the original school
law had not been amended and all the
money paid for saloon and gambling
licenses went into the school fund OF
the precinct where these licenses are
paid all OF the schools 10 these dis
trict would be 10 admirable shape.
