WORST EVER KNOWN.
Many Houses Leveied and Fields Laid
Waste.

Perry, O. T., June "a storm. which
passed over eastern Oklahoma last
night was one of the most severe since
the opening of the strip. A feature OF
the storm was the extent of territory
covered. Sweeping down from he
Kansas line and covering about so
miles in width, rain, wind n hail
swept the country as far south as Old
Oklahoma. The rain simply fell in
torrents from early in the evening
until midnight.
The fury of the storm centered in a
cyclone at about 6 p. M, which formed
at a point near the Kansas line and
Just on the county lines OF Kay and
Grant counties, Oklahoma. The twist.
err took a southeasterly course and
was the most disastrous in a belt OF
ten square miles in eastern Kay coun-
ty, and the little town of Eddy was
struck, and of the IL or Is buildings
in the place, all were leveled to the
ground, except the railroaod station
and elevator. Flying lumber was
rscattered for miles. The people OF
the town sought places of safety early.
One unknown man was killed and
several persons only slightly injured
by flying debris.
The track OF the storm DetWeen tnls
point and Tonkawa, a distance OF
about eight miles, was laid waste
Five farm houses with barns and out
buildings were blown away, but the
occupants all escapeu without injury
Fine fields Of wheat in the midst OF
harvest we're laid waste.
The tail end of the storm fell witt
terrible force upon Tonkawa. Thirty
dwellings and business houses were
scattered like SO much loose lumber
The citizens of the town had beer
watching the advance of the storm
and had sought shelter in v ant
cellars. No fatalities are reported Al
this place, and only a few persons
received scratches, which is almos'
miraculous, considering the devasta
ton.
A few miles from this point the tor
nado seemed to go up in the air, ant
the country below did not suffer much
except by washouts and stiH wind
with hail in spots, which did som
damage to fruit and the wheat crop
At Blackwell, a few miles north o
Tonkawa, F. H. Crawford, a carpen
ter, who was working on a house
was struck by lightning during tn
storm and instantly killed.

On next Friday evening, June IA,
at the opera house, will be presented
opera, Queen Esther" The chorus
work is nearly completed, and the

by home talent, under the direction
of Mrs. M. H. Tompkins, are now on

Concerning the play itself, the fol-
lowing is a synopsis:
The story of Esther is a dramatic
one. Cousin to Mordecai a Jew of the
the palace of Ahasuerus (the king
(Which reigned from India even unto
ETHIOPIA, over an hundred and seven
and twenty provinces') she was rap
idly promoted to the rank of queen
in place of vashti, who had openly dis
obeyed the kings commands. When
Hannah, the Jew-hater, procured from
Ahasuerus an edict for the destruc-
ton of all the Jews in the kingdom,

before Humans face denounced him
and his plot, the immediate effect OF
which denunciation was Humans ex'
ecution on the gallows he had pre-
pared for the hanging of Mordecai.
Esther's disclosures of Haman's
murderous designs brought about a
grant to the Jews of the right to de
fend themselves against the proposed
slaughter. And when the appointed
time for the slaughter of the Jew
arrived, according to the former de
cree, the tables were turned, and the
proposed victims slew their enemies
to the number Of 5000. In celebration
of their victory the Jews held feasts
throughout the country, and a yearly
feast day was ordained. That ordi
nance is observed today, and the Jews
in all countries celebrate the feast O.
Purim in remembrance of the deliver
ance which Queen Esther wrought TO-
her people by ~interceding with kins
Ahasuerus.

The trial of the suit of Martha g.,

According to the complaint filed in
a passenger train between Helena

owing to some trouble with his engine
to pay particular attention to it, and
in doing so it necessliated him leaning
farther out of the cab than If there
was no trouble. While looking after
his engine, when in the vicinity of
Recap, a station between Lombard
and Logan, the complaint alleges that
he came into collision with a tell-tale
post, and was knocked off the engine
When the trainmen went back they
found him lying in the ditch, uncOn

after he had been taken into the bag

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
Proposition to Form a Stock Com
pany in This City.

pany in This City.
A movement is on among the ath-
letically inclined OF the city looking
to the organization of an association,
the purpose Of which will be to en-
courage, promote and maintain base
ball and football games, racing, and
other athletic and field sports. A
meeting has already been held and
ways devised for perfecting the or
%ganization.
For years it has been evident that
Billings greatly needed a ground
closer to the city, as only in this way
could the people be expected to take
a deep interest in the various inno-
cent sports, which might We carried.
on from time to time. Other cities
and towns have athletic grounds in
close proximity to the business dis
trict, but the fair grounds in this city,
where all such amusements are held,
are over a mile removed from the
business portion. But this is not
alone the main objection. The
grounds are not ali suited for field
sports. In the first place the grand
I stand is not arranged with dressing
rooms, it is not close enough to the
ball ground, and there is no b~leachers'
stand.
1t is proposed to organize a stock
company with a capital OF $4,000, of
which sum $1,000 is to be paid in.
Then the ground within a short dis
lance from the business part of the
city will be leased n enclosed, a
grand stand and bleachers' stand built
the former to be arranged with dress
ing rooms and a ticket Office. The or
ganization will be managed by a board
of directors. The shares will number
1000 of the value Of SIS each, and
the stock shall be worcestershire. the
persons behind the movement will
visit the merchants and citizens this
week to solicit stock, as it is proposed
10 start the work at once SO as to have
the grounds ready for the Fourth OF
July celebration.
The plan of a stock company own
ing and maintaining an athletic
grounds has worked to good satisfac
ton both in Miles City and Living
ston. 1t has proved a splendid invest
ment, paying for itself in a short time
In those two cities the grounds have
been sel~f-sustaining and there is ne
reason to believe that the same woulf
not be the case in Billings, where
there are many more people ant
where a deeper interest is taken IL
field sports of all kinds.
