Wind and Hall.

The worst disaster that ever struck
this thriving little city was the wind and
hail storm of last Sunday evening. In
town the damage was great, but it was
out in the farming district that the most
fearful destruction was wrought. Such
an extensive hal! storm has seldom been
known in the country. lis track EXTENDS
two miles east of Lamar and 10 or II
miles west, and as much north and south.
IN fact it includes 30 per cent OF the cui-
tivat ID area tributary to the town.
The clouds gathered late in the after
noon, and the heavy downpour OF hal
and rain, accompanied by afurious wind,
began about $50. 1t was all over by u
but in that short space the work OF the
past year represented by the crops on 2oo
square miles OF land was wiped out. The
oldest inhabitant has seen nothing toap-
proach it. An inch and half OF ram fell
and such immense quantities OF big haii
stones that the grou' d WIS covered to
depth of several inches. In places where
they drifted it is reported that they had
not all melted this morning, 60 hours
after the storm.
In town 80 per cent OF the window
glass on the north side OF the building
a e knocked to pieces, screens being no
protection at all. The stones were driven
through iron awnings and in some pnces
through shingle roofs. All the gardens
and fruit trees are destroyed, and even
the big cottonwoods were broken by the
wind and chopped by the hail until the
ground was covered with the wreck %
On the farms most of the wheat and
oats we're in stack and were saved. The
fine stand OF corn and alfalfa seed crop
were almost totally destroyed. Practi-
cally the entire acreage OF the melon
growers association was wiped out. and
the shipments from Lamar will be light.
The fruit crop is all on the ground and
this is one of the greatest losses as the
prospect was the best ever known here.
In some places the fruit trees, but in
most of the best orchards the trees are
saved. The beet crop is cut to the ground
but will come again. Even the poultry
of the farmers was not spared, but was
killed off by the hundreds. To give list
OF the losers would be to mention the
names of all citizens Of the territory de-
s.ribed and the large majority are heavy
losers too.
1t was by far the worst blow this sec
tion OF the valley ever received, but the
spirit OF our citizens is not easily downed
and by the time the storm was over the
people were at work cleaning up the
wreck, and making arrangements to re-
D ir the damage as far as possible. A
large portion OF the farmers had TO come
to town on Monday for materials for re-
pairs, and all seemed cheerful and dis
posed to look for the bright side.

DEATH OF BUsHRoD ROBINSON.
Funeral of Wcii-Knoun Citizen TO
Take Place Today.

The funeral of Bushrod Robinson. who
died Of Bright disease at his home yes
terday morning, will take place from the
family residence, 1903 Ninth Street north
west, at o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Robinson had been in decided i'll
health for more than year. and his
death was not unexpected by members OF
his immediate family. He suffered from
Brlght's disease for a number OF years,
and his advanced age OF seventy-two left
little hope of recovery. His condition was
not considered TO be critical until last
Wednesday. when his relatives and friends
were informed by the physician that he
could not live more than week.
Mr. Robinson was prominent in local
business circles for more than half a
century. lie was appointed to a position
in the Senate postoffice when boy, which
place he held for several years Early In
the forties he went in partnership with
Henry Hall, the firm name being Robin
son Hall. The location was on Penn
sylvania Avenue, between Ninth and
Tenth Streets. Later on the iirm OF Rob
inson & Parker was formed. After sew
eral years this firm dissolved, and Mr.
Robinson went into business witt; Mr..
Cherry. The firms stock and building
was destroyed by fire in 1888, and the part
nership was dissolved. After this Mr..
Robinson became interested in several in
surance companies. and also became a
prominent member Of the Board OF Trade
Mr.. Robinson is survived by his widow
and one son.

LEFT IN OUTER DARKNESS.
Bindcnsbur- Road Suburbanite-
Need Lights and Sidewalks.

Residents along the Bladensburg Road
who describe themselves as pulling their
feet out Of the mud for several months in
the year" on account of the lack OF a
suitable roadway and sidewalk are again
disappointed in seeking redress. Several
weeks ago they sent an urgent petition
to the District Commissioners asking that
they be relieved from outer darkness by
the establishment OF few street lamps
along their thoroughfare and that a board
sidewalk be constructed from Talbertsviile
10 Mount Olivet Cemetery to accommodate
the children obliged to go over the muddy
road to and from school,
The Electrical Engineer reported that
no more money could be spared from the
current appropriation for street lights in
the residents Of Talbertsville relative to
light were extinguished.
Now the Computing Engineer has re-
ported on the sidewalk plan that this kind
of a sidewalk is so thoroughly objection
able that he cannot recommend IL. He
says that such walks have SO uniformly
resulted unfortunately for the District in
the matter of damage suits that the Sur
face Division has determined to have no
more of them. The Engineer says that the
condition Of the road is we'll known to
him and that an item for its improve
ment has been included in the estimates
submitted to Congress this year, which he
hopes will receive favorable considera-
ton

Claims Shooting Was Accidental.
Before being removed to the jail. Morse
made a statement to Detectives Trullbo
and Muller. in which he acknowledged
that he held the pistol in his hand at the
time the fatal shot was fired. but claimed
that the shooting was accidental.
According to Morse he had taken he
weapon from the drawer in which he was
accustomed to keep it. to shoot rat
that he saw running along one OF the
rafters at the top Of the room. The rat
hid behind the rafter and he climbed up
and was holding to the timber with his
left hand while trying to locate the
rodent. While so engaged the weapon
was accidentally discharged, and Hask ms
fell to the floor.
To other persons Morse stated that he
and that as he pulled the trigger Has
Lins stepped within range and received
the bullet in his head. The Jurors were
informed OF MoTses stories after they had
returned their verdict, and consequently
could not have taken them into consdera-
tion in disposing of the case.

stated. until just before they reached Bal

borrowed his pistol to shoot at rats. and
the. while Morse was in another part of
the barn he heard the shot, but paid no
attention to II until several minutes later.
