SHORT HIGH WIND
Flashes Across Wichita for
Three Minutes.
STREET CAR ARCH GONE
While Several Roofs Get the
Worst of 1t.
STREET CAR ARCH GONE

Last night the Storm King pulled out
his cheeks and gave Wichita single
short, terrific blow.
Roofs had a tendency to go off, win
dows in. hagstaffs down, chimneys over,
and the big street fair arch on Market
street made a cying leap off its founda-
lions.
Rain came with it in pitchfork vol
umes. Five minutes later the stars
were blinking and trolley party went
by for an evenings outing under the
clear sky.
Wichita has had high winds, but never
before a wind that was so much Ike a
jerk in duration and force 1t was a
straight blow from the north.
The fright while momentary, was in
tense on the part of citizens. Everybody
had Galveston on his mind and when the
tempest went by with a snort the city
lodged.
Weather Observer Johnson said the
puff lasted three minutes, and its velocity
for that three minutes was forty miles
an hour, and for five minutes thirty-sx
miles an hour. For one minute it was
forty-two miles an hour. This great We
locity was at $50 o'clock p m. The rain
fall was "a, with a little hail.
The storm played havoc with several
windows and roofs about town. A strip
of fifty feet from the top Of the Green
block on West Douglas was torn COM
pletely or leaving the tin in huge rolls
on the back end OF the building. A large
piece of roofing was sent flying through
the air from somewhere and deposited in
front of Mr.. Stanley's barn on South
Main street with terrific noise. A part Of
the Eagle roof ripped away.
The heavy plate windows Of Hays
harness shop, Puckett's feed store, chap
pie & Sons feed store. and Jackson s
barber shop, all on West Douglas, were
broken into a thousand pieces. Also the
west show window in p p. Ahern's drug
store on the corner Of fremont street
and Douglas avenue Several windows
in the Santa Fe hotel were destroyed
The arch which had just been put up
for the street fair on Market street and
several sections Of the fence for the
booths were RACED to the ground.
The Flagstaff on the City building was
broken at its base and hung down on the
cupola.
On South Main street a 16-foot section
Of the street fair fence was blown across
the block. a distance of % feet, which
was later cut squarely in two by a street
car
The wind blew telegraph wire down
on West Douglas, into which Jordan's
milk wagon ran, but no damages were
sustained. The wire contained thou
sand volts Of electricity, but was imme-
dately put up out Of the way by City
Electrician McVey.
The city lights and many Of the mean
descents flickered out.

He INVESTS HERE
kIondike Gold Goes Into
Wichita Property.
Mr.. LIGGETT OF MULVANE
Buys the Building Now 0ccu-
pied by Watersheds.

An important investment was made in
Wichita yesterday That was the pdr-
chase Of a property here by Nj w. NJ.
Liggett Of Kingman, one of the drs+ men
in the world whom the riches Of Klon-
dixie favored.
Mr.. Lggett has been all over the
United States recently and he picked on
Wichita as one of those places where
money invested will grow more money.
Yesterday he purchased the big brick
structure on Water street half block
north of Douglas, now occupied by the
Walterschied Bros factory, for 5000.
The fact that Mr.. Liggett has taken
hold of Wichita property is more signif-
cant than the item Of the sale.
In the eighties Mr.. Liggett was resi-
dent Of Kingman. In 1889 the boom col
lapsed and Mr.. Liggett decided to seek
field where opportunities were expand
ing instead of contracting. Although it
was eight years before the name of Klon-
dixie came to the ears Of the world. Mr..
Liggett went to the golden north, when
the population was extremely meager
and the venture more hazardous than it
has ever been since.
After several years there he came back
to Kingman rich. Conjectures as to his
wealth differ, but all estimates are high.
and as Mr.. Liggett is a quiet, reticent
man, the world will have to be satisfied
with big, but indefinite figure.
Mr.. Liggett has chosen Wichita prop
erty as one of money-makers, money
holders of this nation.
1t is not known whether he intends to
move to Wichita at present or not, but
if he does, he will be welcomed warmly
by the business community, a large por-
ton of which is already acquainted with
him. The building on Water street will
be leased to Mr.. NJ. L. Stanley, who is
now stocking up on Washington avenue
for the livery business and will open at
the new quarters on December with
fine livery establishment. The building
was some years ago used for that pur-
pose, and is admirably suited to the bust
ness.

Three Men Killed In q Mine.

An accident occurred at Aurora, the
other day, in which Oliver Bergman,
Ocord Moore and James Dodson were
Filled outright, while Bob Clevenger
and Oscar Elliott were more or less
seriously injured. The scene of the
accident was at the World-Herald
mine, on the Ozark land. Without
warning, a large bowlder fell from
the roof of the mine, crushing the
three men beneath it, killing them in
stantly. The crew which had just left
the mines had discharged some heavy
shots, and it is thought that this
loosened the bowlder and caused it to
fall. The men killed were all spade
hands, and were engaged at the time
in loading tubs at the head of the
drift, some distance from the main
shaft. Moore and Bergman were
both single, while Dodson leaves a
widow and baby.
