SAW A GALVESTON STORM
Colonel w. f. Hutchinson Was i
That City in 1879

| Colonel W. E. Hutchinson Of this CITY
was stationed at Galveston in the United
| States weather bureau service 1T the
| time Of the great storm Of 1870 At that
time the storm lasted for three days and
| thirteen inches Of rainfall was regis
tered at the station. Many hundreds Of
people lost their lives and the damage
done TO property could hardly be esti-
mated
Colonel Hutchinson was seen yesterday
by reporter for the Eagle and to him
he said: 'T can distinctly remember all
Of the etails in regard TO the storm at
Galveston and at that time was in the
weather bureau service
The wind and rain during the three
days OF the storm were terrific and the
wind blew al a rate OF speed averaging
sixty to eighty miles per hour. The
water submerged the lower stories of the
town and every one was compelled to
move their goods to the second story.
The streets were all covered with water
and the sound Of the waves was some
thing always 10 be remembered.
During the storm I went out in a hack
to one part Of the town to the large hotel
in the beach. We could not get within
a half mile of it. but when the waves
went into the building through the doors
and windows It sounded like the firing
Of a cannon. The building was several
stories high. but it was completely de-
molished by the storm and It was hard
TO find where it had been located.
"A steamer, the Australian, was car
ried inland for three or fou< miles BY
the storm and after the waters had re-
coded it cost the owners OF the steam
er about as much to take the machinery
out and get the hull into the water again
as the steamer was worth.
II was no uncommon thing to see cat
tie and horses with their heads in trees,
having hung them there with the inteu-
ton Of resting from swimming. They
could net get free when they wanted 70
and the result was tibet they hung there
Much live stock was lost, so much that

ANOTHER BIC SUM
Given Yesterday to The Cudahy
Proposition
BY THE MAHAN BROTHERS
Who Appreciate the Good 1t
Will Do Wichita Other Sums
BY THE MAHAN BROTHERS

Yesterday the Cudahy subscription was
given another big boost by the subscrip-
ton Of Mahan Brothers.
They showed their public enterprise and
faith in Wichita and interest in her fu-
ture growth by subscribing $500.
The fund is steadily growing. While
the city has been busy with other mat
tiers, the committee which has subscrip-
tons in charge has been working away.
calling on the business men and men of
big property interests in the city.
The Messrs. Mahan willingly gave to
the fund They said they appreciated
what it meant to Wichita; what it had
meant TO have the live stock market of
Wichita take its place beside that Of
Omaha and Kansas City; how with
good start Wichita can mount to the
place TO which her location, her enter
prise and her prospects entttle her.
Yesterday the Baker Implement com
pany helped swell the fund by a sub
scription of 500 and Messrs. Singer &
O'Donnell also put their names down
for 500.
The people Of the city are thoroughly
awake to the Importance of getting the
Cudahys here and the Whitaker plant
in operation. The Eagle is in receipt of
several communicati One man, sign
ing himself PHILOSOPHER" goes on to
say that twenty-five thousand people at
tended the circus here the other day and
paid quarter each. He points out how
much better it would be for all con-
cerned if this money had been subscrib-
ed TO get the Whitaker plant started
with a notable and rich firm behind it.
H makes the point that whereas the
ciNus brought hundreds Of people into
the city foc one dav, the operation Of
packing plant at the Cudarys propose to
manage it would bring here 300 men who
would not be here for one day, but for
every day in the year, spending their
money here, increasing the retail bust
ness Of every merchant, and adding life
and wealth TO the city's commercial
channels in whatever line
The committee which has the matter
in charge is determined to win and with
good reason. for Wichita has never es-
sayed a move for its good and progress
without succeeding.
