using nothing but his thumb and
index finger. He considers that
the sight Of the forceps themselves
is responsible for much Of the har-

that many nervous persons are
greatly shocked by the sight of
these instruments. The pain is
also said to be less. He can take

Bluefield, W. Va, June 2a.-Further

feared are without food, or &C the best
with only food enough to last at the

The damage from food in the Kanaw-

barns. fences. crops and trains Of cars
on coal roads were washed away.
At Boomer, 90 houses were wrecked.
The cloudburst occurred near the
headwaters of the Elkhorn and Dry
Fork river, which is the confluence near
WEIGH from the main Tug river.
The Elkhorn follows the Norfolk and
Western railroad for 20 miles and it is
reported that for 10 miles the road is
wrecked. Along the coal regions of the

At Vivian many houses were washed

Several horses with saddles and bril-

STORM AT KEYSTONE.

Women and Children ON Roofs.
Keystone, w. Va, June 26.--The fol-
lowing story il told by an eyewitness of
the great flood:
keystone is the metropolis of Elkhorn
county. 1t has but one narrow street
and because of the limited space many
buildings were built on piles or walls
over the Elkhorn or close up against
the mountains. The town follows the
meanderings of the stream for mile.
On Friday night at IL o'clock the storm
struck the mountain and for six hours
the rain descended in torrents. At day
break thousands Of people along the
Elkhorn and tributaries realized great
flood was upon them, but they little sus-
pected the disaster so soon TO follow.
By Q a. m. the narrow valley was rag.
ing, seethings angry torrentl Houses,
barns, bridges, fills, livestock and hu.
man beings were swept by the mighty
current and dashed on rocks or trees
below.
The National hotel faces the noun
tain with narrow spot between it and
building on the mountain side Of the
street. AT the first warning many Of
the inhabitants took refuge on the
mountain side overlooking the town and
river. More than 100 people however,
remained in the town TO look after the
women and children, who did not es-
cape early. The bridge leading to the
depot was soon swept away, then angry
waters rushed through the only street
in town and hundreds were cut of
from the mountain retreat and the hotel
was made fast to telephone poles by
means of line. Hundreds of lives
were saved In attempting TO cross the
muddy. surging waters which swept
like an avalanche down this street,
number lost their hold, and in plain
sight of friends were carried on into the
river and drowned Houses plunged
and danced in the mighty stream with
screaming women and children on the
