The Farm of II. 1. Woods Suf-
ferS From Storm.
A Water Spout Washes Sol
From 20 Acres.
AS CLEAN AS A FLOOR.
Piles up Dirt in the Road Five
Feet Deep.
Accompanied by Hail Which
Killed His Crops.

Abilene, June News has reached
this city of the devastation of a water
spout on the farm of R. 1. Woods, sew
en- miles southwest of here Tuesday
night.
The waterspout seemed to haze
struck the Woods farm alone and did
no damage elsewhere. 1t was accom-
panied by an extremely heavy rain and
hail storm, which badly damaged the
corn and wheat crops. The hail was
very large and knocked nearly all the
window lights from the south and west
sides of the house.
The waterspout struck in the middle
of a 40 acre kaffir corn field on the farm
and washed away all the soil in a strip
of ground geo feet wide or 20 acres and
piled the dirt into the road five feet
in height in many places. The soil
washed away just to the depth the
ground had been plowed and every
furrow can now be traced by the mark
of the point of the pillow. The road was
closed up by the dirt so that it is i'm
passable. Mr.. Woods cannot estimate
his loss
Holland creek. which is near the
Woods farm, naturally went on a ram
page and washed out the approaches
to the bridge near the Acme creamery.
In several places the creek backed up
upon the wheat field near it and did
cOnSidera BILE damage.

YOUNG GIRL HIS VICTIM.
Medicine Lodge Mans Arrest For As

COMPLICATIONS.
tFrom the Medicine Lodge Index.J

TFrom the Medicine Lodge IndeX.1
John w Blake was arrested in this
city last Wednesday on a charge OF
assault upon a daughter of John Young
of Turkey Creek township, less than 16
years of age. 1t is claimed that the
crime was committed under a promise
of marriage, but when Blake sold his
cattle on Tuesday and left the same
night for Medicine Lodge, the girl sus-
pected that he was about to leave the
country and she confessed to her par
ents. Mr.. Young followed Blake at
once and arrived here about daylight
Wednesday morning. Blake was arrest
ed al Johnson's hotel before he was out
of bed, and committed to Jail He was
taken before Judge Brady, pleaded not
guilty and waived preliminary. E.
Sample is his attorney.
Investigation reveals the fact that
the mans real name is Daniel w Ed
wards and that he was married in 1895.
He has a wife and two girls living near
Ell Reno, Oklahoma. He filed petition
for divorce on the ground of abandon
ment, Immediately after his arrest.
Blake Cor Edwards) was one of the
principal witnesses in the case of State
VS.. jenkins, the cattle case in which
the jury disagreed at the recent term
of court and had been in the employ
ment of John Young, the prosecuting
witness in that case and the father of
the outraged girl, a number OF years.
His crime will be a serious obstacle to
the prosecution in this case and 1t VIII
tend to strengthen the contention of the
defense. that Blake engineered the ar
rest of Jenkins to recover the reward
offered by the Live Stock association.
and that the theft, if committed at all,
was committed by Blake himself.

In Kansas the state court of vista
ton which succeeded the railroad com
missiOners as agents of state control Of
railroads. telegraph and express lines,
recently issued an order reducing the
25-cent rate Cor a ten-word message
within the state to Is cents. with one
cent extra for each additional word.
This proceeding is to be resisted in the
federal courts by the telegraph COM
PAW on the grounds thta the state
court of visitation was not legally ere
ated, and that the rate prescribed is
so low to be practically cOnfiscatory.
This was the argument successfully
employed in the Nebraska freight rate
case. the federal court holding that an
agency of interstate transportation
could not be subjected to undue local
restrictions by arbitrary schedules of
rates dictated by state authority.
Whether this theory also applies to tel
egraph lines is a question which the
final decision in the Kansas case should

The federal court also held that it was
for a competent court to determine
what are undue and arbitrary rates.
and ie was to meet this phase of the
case that the court of visitation was
