Severe Storm.

News has reached town of a small
cyclone which occurred on Bayou
Queue-de-Tortue, eight miles south
Of Crowley at about l o'clock Wei
nesday morning.
Henry Fontenot, P. S. Mcbride
and E. Guidry came in that evening
and told the story of the storm. Fon-
tenot and Mcbride are farmers, while
Guidry is a carpenter who was down
there doing some work for them. The
three were living in a one-story. frame
house belonging to Israel Boulet.
They had retired, but were awakened
early in the night by a stiff wind
which was blowing. They thought
nothing. of it ut first and all went to
sleep. At about l o'clock a roaring
and crashing noise was heard and
they felt the timbers of the house go-
ing to pieces around them. A big
gust of wind came about that time
and the house was blown into a
thousand pieces. Mcbride claims he
was carried through the air with the
roof of the house and when he recov-
cred consciousness, found that he
was over fifty yards from where the
building had once stood. He re-
ceived severe and painful cut and
bruise on the thigh.
All three men were carried through
open space some distance. Fontenot
received quite bad cut on thetop of
his head, but it is nothing serious.
Guidry escaped with several bruises.
The men say that there was hardly
enough Of the house left together for
a person who was not well acquainted
with the neighborhood to tell that
building had ever stood there.
The escape of three gentlemen with
SO slight injuries in such disastrous
adventure is nothing short Of mira
culous. Crowley Signal.

Wore a Coat Of Mail.

It Is said that Gov. Goebel wore a
coat of mail at the time that he was
killed. He was shot with Krag-
Jorgensen rifle and steel ball pene-
trated his defense. DR.. Vance who
attended him has published his re-
port in which he says that Goebel
wore this coat from the time that he
reached Frankfort. 1t was made Of
closely woven strands Of steels, and
was worn between his under and top
shirt. So great was the force of the
shot that it crushed the steel deep
into his breast before it penetrated
the metal and sped on its way
through the body.

A Short Line.

A new short line from Kansas City
to the Pacific is the latest project of
Arthur E. Stillwell, who built the
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
railroad. A company has been or
ganized and Incorporated in Kansas,
and Mr.. stillwell asserts that the cap
isal necessary can be easily secured.
The western terminus of the new road
will be at Topolocampo, on the Gulf
of California. The road will be- | 800
miles long, and it is estimated that
the cost OF construction, not includ-
ing equipment will be $4,000 mile.

Roberts. VS.. Sampson.

The contrast between Gen. Roberts
and Admiral Sampson is not alto
gether creditable to the latter, much
as we would like to help him.
When General Roberts captured
the Boer army of General Cronje, his
announcement of the fact read as
follows:
General Cronje and all his force
capitulated Internationally at day
light and is now q prisoner in my
camp.
The strength of his force will be
communicated later.
/ hope her majesty's government
will consider this event satisfactory,
occurring as it does on the anniver-
sary OF Majuba.
Although General Roberts was re-
lieving a tension of five months at
home. in which he could have glori-
fed himself at will, he has not one
word to speak for himself, nor does
he intimate that Majuba gives him
any borrowed light.
With Admiral Sampson, however,
it was different. With bombastic
self-complacency "I'' make Fourth
of July present of victory which
s'I'' have gained over Cervera, when
he was not even present in the en-
gagement. Not one word for those

did the same. From the railroad to the

.FRAWLEY AS
NAPOLEON

ED-MISS VAN BUREN, WAS
AT HER BEST.

Miss Mary Van Buren, has demon
strated to the complete satisfaction of
the people of Butte that in the role OF
Madame Sans Gene" in Sardou and
Moreau's delightful comedy she pos
sesses talent of the highest order. When
1t is remembered that in this particular
role Miss Van Buren gained favorable
mention in San Francisco over the re-
nowned Blanche Bates. this statement
need not create any surprise. Her ex-
hibition of the grosser as we'll as the
finer emotions incident to humanity was
simply superb, and any minor faults she
may possess in weaker plays will be for
gtten in the admiration excited by her
genius in Madame Sans Gene

effect on his audience as he did in Sc

trait of the Little Corporal may see it

Wallace Shaw, as Fourche, carries out
his part of the performance to perfec-

The engagement of the company was
closed on Saturday evening by a per-
formance of The Great Ruby" In this

the greatest satisfaction, they We're

not even on speaking terms. Everybody
had to laugh at the obliging balloon
which stayed its flight long enough for

of the company explained to the audi

words We're greeted with applause.
