On account OF the decadence OF the
Delaware sturgeon industry and the as

steps are now being taken for the alti-
iicial propagation of this, one of the most
important members OF the royal finny
family. A joint meeting OF the Fish
Commissioners of Pennsylvania and

Sturgeon eggs galore will be hatched
and the infant fish sent forth to people
the great Delaware and lis bay. Though
the sturgeon are few, the eggs are as
the sands upon the seashore, for single

prophecy is that within o few years the
Delaware will swarm with cavorting
sturgeon, mighty enough TO be used as
sea horses.
Only few years ago mature stur.

Death IN A TORNADO.
Terrific Wind, Hail and Lightning
Storm Sweeps Over oklahoma.
MANY TOWNS DEVASTATED.
Eastern section of the Territory
Bears the Brunt-Entire List of
Dead Not Yet known-Crops
Suffer Very Heavily.

Perry, @. r., June 9.-The storm
Oklahoma was one Of the most severe
since the opening of the strip.
A feature Of the storm was the ex-
tent of the territory covered. Sweep
ing down from the Kansas state line
and covering about 80 miles in width,
the rain. wind and hail swept over the
country as far south as Old oklahoma.
Many fatalities are reported.
The fury of the storm centered in
cyclone. which formed Mt a point near
the Kansas state line and just on the
county lines OF Kay and Grant. o. L.
The twister took sOutheasterly
course and was most disastrous in an
area Of ten miles square in eastern
Kay county. The town of Eddy was
struck, and all of the buildings in the
place, except the railroad station and
an elevator, were leveled to the ground.
The people of the town sought places
of safety. One unknown man was
killed and several persons were slightly
injured by flying debris.
Buildings Blown Away.
The track Of the cyclone between
this point and Tonkawa, Il distance OF
about eight miles. was laid waste. Five
farmhouses, with barns and outbuild-
ings We're blown away, but MI the oc-
cupants escaped without injury. Fine
fields Of wheat in the midst of harvest
- a a.
cyclone fell With terrible force upon
Tonlawa. Thirty dwellings and bust
ness houses We're scattered like loose
lumber. The citizens of the town had
been watching the advance Of the
storm and had sought shelter in caves
and cellars. No fatalities are reported
at this point. and only Il few persons
received scratches. which is almost
miraculous considering the devastation.
\ few miles from this point the cy-
clone seemed to rise somewhat, and
the country below did not suffer much
from the storm, except by washouts
AMI hail. which did damage to fruit
md the wheat crop.
At Blackwell, II few miles north of
Tonkawa three men We're killed. +.
