MOrg Collins of Caldwell, drove OUT
to DOster after the big hail storm last
Thursday night To view the ruin. He
says he never saw anything like it,
and the damage that can he done by
hail and wind is surprising. He saw
wheat fields over which the storm
passed that will not yield buShel of
grain, and fields OF corn that was
nearly yard high literally beaten
into the grOuLd. One farmer near
Doster told him that the hail stones
were as large as his hand, with Serrat.
ed edges resembling the teeth OF
cross cut saw. The hail was driven
by furious wind and destroyed every.
thing before it. Hedges were entirely
stripped of their foliage and young
fruit trees were stripped and the bark
peeled off. In some places the storm
assumed the proportions of a cyclone
and trees we're uprOUted and blown
clear across farms. In several in
stances the hail went through solid
barn roofs. The path OF the storm
was q miles wide and extended
from four or FIVE miles north Of the
strip line on lnJO Oklahsma, where
the damage was equally as great If
not greater. From l,50O to 1000 acres
of wheat near DOster were totally de.
stroyed. The least damage done was
to one farmer who will probably have
from five to six bushels per acre left.
Some of the heaviest losers are:GeOrge,
Cy and jim Scott, who had about 800
acres Of wheat and oats destroyed
among them; John and Joe bailey lost
800 or 400 acres between them; Dan
Grim, 800 acres; Jonn Williams about
10 acres, and L. Williams all he had:
John Wilson, 100 acres: E. NJ. Wilson.
so acres; Bill EppersOn 80 acres, and
Sam Garlice between 300and 400 acres.
The storm played havoc with the Bo-
hemians, the PCtuceks, BObeks,
Jenetzkys, Prazaks, Czaplinskis,
being specially hard hit. The path or
THURSDAY nights storm is easily traced
from Conway Springs via Ewell, Ar
gOnia, DOster, MedfOgd and to point
southeast of Enid. The total amount
of wheat destroyed is estimated a.
from 1900 TO $1,000 acres. The wheat
in Grant aud Garfield counties, Okla
hOma, was insured in an Oklahoma
company, and it is said that Thursday
nights storm bankrupted it. The
wheat near DOster was insured 10
Topeka company. Only a small per
cent OF the damaged wheat was in-
sured.

When the late | J. Stewart died at
his home southeast Of Wellington sew
eral weeks ago Of apOplexy, his wife,
who had been pronounced insane, was
in a hospital at Wichita preparing TO
undergo surgical operation for an
ailment which caused her INSANITY.
She was called home by the death,
and has since been steadily imprOv'
ing both physically and mentally
until the physicians say she will not
need An operation, and that her mind

THE GRAY CASE.
Judge Dale Of Sedgwick County, Grants
Continuance for Two Weeks.

The Wichita papers are working
ever" the Anderson Gray case, which
was sent from Sumner county TO
Sedgwick county on a change of venue,
as often as a thrifty woman works over
her old dresses. Sundays Eagle
had the following reference to the
case: Yesterday Judge Dale cOntin-
ued the trial Of the Anderson Gray
case for about two weeks, so that the
attorneys will have time to make up
briefs and file them. This case is
probably one OF the most remarkable
that ever came before any court. The
main point is whether Anderson Gray
retains the same property rights he
had before hereceived the death SEN
tence. There is q law in the state Of
Kansas which provides that any man
under the Senl enCe of death is ciyily
dead and that his property shall des-
cend to his heirs. Now the question
is whether Gray, having been restored
to legal life by being pardOned, can
regain possession of property which
he held before he was sentenced, or

pearance and size similar TO a lawyers

Badajos lies in Spain five miles from
the Portuguese frontier. 1t was the
key of a situation. Wellington's chance
was to strike at Badaios before the
French marshals could combine and
crush him. His task was both in front
of him and behind him. He lacked
transport; he lacked food for the men;
the soldiers were eating cassaya root
instead of bread; the bullocks were
Wea. and emaciated. All this was the
doing of the parliament at home.
But Wellington knew that the mo.
ment to strike had come, and he seems
to have hesitated very little. Placing
no faith in the tongues of the Portu.
guesc, he made his plans with all DOS.
sible secrecy. The guns for the siege
were loaded OH board the transport at
Lisbon and consigned to fictitious ad.
dress. But In the river Sadhao they
were placed upon smaller vessels. and
finally they were again landed and
drawn by bullocks to Eloas, a post In
the possession Of the allies. Having
stationed two-tlirds of his force under
General Graham aud General Hill to
prevent a most probable interference
by Soult and Marmont, Wellington ad-
vanced, reaching Eloas on the 11th Of
March, 1912. He had made the most

Apportionment Changed.

A special meeting Of the city
Democratic committee was held in
the Bayard Legion rooms last night
at which time the apportionment
of delegates to the Democratic State
Convention was changed. Thiswas
to satisfy demand made by those
living in the First and Fifth legis-
lative districts, who claimed that,
under the apportionment made, they
were shut out from being delegates.
The apportionment of delegates
from the First Legislative district
made at the first meeting was one
delegate each from the Second ward,
Fourth ward and all that part of
the Eighth ward north of Sixth and
south Of Eighth street. This dis.
trict contains a portion of the Sixth
ward, aud under the apportion-
ment man who lived in the por-
tion Of the Sixth ward included in
the district was shut out from be-
coming delegate.
This apportionment of the dis
trict was therefore made: one dele
gate each to the Second ward. the
Fourth ward, and from those por-
tions of the Sixth and Eighth wards
south of Eighth street.
The other change made was in
the Fifth legislative district. The
first apportionment made was one
each from the Tenth. Eleventh and
Twelfth wards. A portion of the
Fifth ward is contained in this dis
trict, and under the apportionment
man living in that portion of the
Fifth ward was also shut out from
being Il delegate. This caused
complaint, and so the new appor-
tionlnent was made; one delegate
each from the Tenth, Eleventh and
Twelfth wards, and all that por-
tion of the Fifth ward west of
Franklin and south of Eighth
street.
So far as the committee has heard
the other apportionments are satis-
factory, and no changes are con-
templated. The meeting last even
ing lasted but a short time and
there were no objection to the
changes.

ANDERSON
THE LEPER.
Found Dead In His Hut by
an Attendant of the
County Home.

John Anderson the leper who has
been confined in the little frame
house at Lima, Pa. for the past
ten years, was found dead ycster.
day morning. Tuesday he refused
to take any food ARID appeared 10
be in great agony. When Joseph
Pickup, an inmate of the house,
who has been carrying food to
Anderson for two months past, en-
tered the little house on Tuesday
morning the dead man was pray
ing for the ''Good Man above" to
end his suffering. For two weeks
past he had been constantly pray
ing that death would come.
Strong drink has been the only
thing tor several weeks past that
Anderson seemed to relish and
when Steward James Barker took
him bottle of whisky he seemed
pleased, but expressed a desire to
die. The leper appeared no worse
than he had been for several weeks
and Mr.. Barker was surprised yes
terday morning when Pickup came
rushing to the main building and
notified him that Anderson had died
during the night.
The place was at once nailed up
so that no one could enter and
Steward Barker consulted DR.. K.
NJ. Harvey, Of Media. He advised
burning the building. and cremat-.
ing the body. This was not
done, but there is no doubt
but that the building will be burn
ed after the meeting OF the direct
ors on Monday next.
The body was laid away in
Potter's Field, about a half mile
from the institution. The funeral
party consisted of Steward James
Barker, Farmer Harry Lodge,
Nurse William Butler, Carpenter
Albert Mcdaniel and Hostler Fred
Jones. The body was almost eaten
away by the disease. The face
looked better than it had for months
past, the malady apparently being
confined to the lower parts and
those covered with clothing.
The body was placed in a pine
coffin and put in the same grave
with that of a man who was drown
ed in the Delaware.
Anderson was admitted to the
County House on October %, 1890
at the age of Al years. Prior to
being sent there Anderson worked
at Roach's shipvard, in Chester.
1t was after an examination by the
Board Of Health of that city and by
several eminent physicians that the
disease was pronounced to be the
leprosy. At first Anderson was
inclined to wander about the county
but after a visit to Rockdale some
six years ago he was warned he
would be shot if ever seen out
again. AS far as the officials of
the County Home know, he never
left his solitary home furnished by
the county.
