At LAS VEGAS.
Terrible State of Affairs at Meadow
VILLAGE.


Village.
There was an unusually heavy rain
and electrical storm, of which Las
Vegas got the lions share, Saturday
night. The am poured down in tor
rents for over two hours, beginning
early in the evening, and being accom-
panied with frequent and vivid flashes
of lightning and with some hail. And
again Sunday evening there were
splendid showers. the water sinking
deeply into the moistened earth from
the previous downfalls.
Never in recent years had the coun-
try been in greater need of rain and
seldom had a heavier rain fallen than
Saturday nights.
For days the dark and threatening
clouds had been going around that i'm
mediate section and the people therea-
bouts had begun to think that the
weather clerk had it in for Las Vegas
and vicinity good and strong. But 1t
was not so. He vas arranging the ele-
ments in the heavens for q veritable
deluge with which that locality was
abundantly blessed Saturday night.
Some damage vas done by %washouts
on the railroad, hundreds of sheep
were killed. the telephone wires were
crossed in many places, panes of glass
were shattered, trees %uprooted, signs
blown down and in some instances
fruits and vegetables injured and de-
stroyed, but all nature smiles and the
downpours have been worth millions
to the country at large, which had be-
come fairly baked and parched from
the drought that had prevailed for
weeks and which it seemed would
never be broken. However, its back
bone has now been broken and plen-
teous rains may be expected from this
time on. While a little late, yet they
will yet do an untold amount of good.

THE STORM CENTER.
Few Facts About Rain and Hail Storm
in Northern New Mexico.
A e LOSSES.

A correspondent of the Las Vegas
Record, writing from Watrous. under
date of July 81. says:
One of the f~iercest hail storms that
visited the region about Watrous with
in the memory of the oldest inhabi-
tants, passed over the country lying
east of the town on Saturday after
noon. For some time prior to the COM
ing OF the storm heavy clouds could
be seen hanging owe. the northern hor-
lion, and the hopeful cattlemen began
to think that their petition for rain had
been answered. Patches of slate-green
clouds mingled with others of inky
blackness. Gradually 1t came on, the
wind rising higher and higher and the
lightning flashing with startling bril-
liancy. AT last the rain fell. but way
to the north could be heard the roar of
the coming hail, like continuous thun-
der. When it broke with all it's fury.
the storm seemed to carry everything
before it.
Damage by Hail.
Stones as large as hens eggs fell so
thickly as to completely cover the
ground, and trees within a path a mile
and a half wide were completely
stripped of leaves. Two orchards on
Valmora ranch, belonging to A. Pond.
Jr., had not a leaf left after the storm.
Alfalfa was cut as If with mower and
all fruit and garden stuff was utterly
destroyed. New shingles were broken
as If with leaden shot and net q pane
of glass facing the north was LETT I'M
broken. Several calves were Eilled on
the ranch CT Thomas Triton and the
alfalfa was badly cut down. Shade
trees were stripped, not alone of
leaves, but of bark also. and telegraph
poles along the railway were riddled.
Railway Damaged.
T. washout occurred half way be-
tween WatroUs and Shoemaker, sew
eral poles ard 100 yards OF fence and
railway embsnkr:ent having been car
ried away. extending to within six
inches O the Santa Fc track. Gangs
of men were ct nee put to work and,
by working all night, the damage was
somewhat remedied by Sunday noon.
Hail Five Feet Deep.
Cattle owners and ranchmen of long
experience say the storm was the most
furious they eve saw. The hail fell
for more than an hour and in. spots
along Coyote creek was still five feet
III -u6piu ny actual measurement Oh
Sunday o In spite of the damage
to fruit and shade trees and to alfalfa
crops, and the killing of many calves,
ranchmen say the good done by the
storm will far outweigh the damage.
Water holes were filled, arroyas ran
with torrents of water, and the rivers
rose rapidly. The moisture was ex-
tremely welcome, we at such a cost.
Thousands of Birds Killed.
A peculiar incident of the storm was
the killing of birds by the hail. Under
n tree alone, near Watrous, the dead
bodies of twenty-five song birds were
picked up after the storm, and thou
sands must have persisted in the neigh
borhood. Numbers of gophers and
moles were likewise flooded out and
then evidently stoned to death by the
hail. Cattle and horses became panic
stricken and ran pell-mell through
fences, carrying them down for yards
in many places.

BATHED IN BLOOD.
Santa Fe Engine Killed Four Steers at
One i.me.

Santa Fe Engine Killed -Four Steers at
One i.me.
A few days ago Santa Fe train No.
10, the Missouri River Flyer, pulled
into Emporia with her engine as blood
stained as though she had ploughed
through a slaughter pen.
Just as the train was going through
Strong City at the rate of sixty miles
an hour she struck a herd of cattle
which was crossing the track.
The cattle were hurled in every d.
rection and four steers were killed
outright. The blood, flesh and broken
parts were thrown all over the engine,
even on top of the cab and on the ten
der. The engineer and fireman said
they each had blood spattered into
their faces. The front part of the en-
CINE was bathed in blood.
The train did not stop. The only
damage done to the engine was the
breaking of a rod in front. The crew
did not know 10 whom the cattle be-
longed.

Among those reported to have lost
sheep by hail stones in the immediate
vicinity of Las Vegas are Albino G..
G~allegos. Jose G~allegos and a neighbor
named Trujillo, residing at M~ontoso
about four miles northeast. They es-
innate their aggregate losses at 400
head of the feecy fellows.
Juan D.. Martinez, at Sanguijuela, is
said to have lost 20 sheep by drown
ing. On Saturday evening, just before
the storm came up, two herders in his
employ were attempting to get his
flock into a corral when the frightened
animals became separated in the con-
fusion and the above number drowned
out of several hundred in the bunch.
The herders made the mistake of try
ing 10 keep the sheep ahead of the
water instead of endeavoring to get
them on high land where the water
could not reach them.
Charles Kohn returned to Las Vegas
Saturday night from the lower country
after a very successful collecting trip
and reports the loss at Montoya. last
Monday, of a herd of 345 sheep belong

How the Mi,tletoe Comes to BE.

HOW thG mbSActOO OoAAAcS ~ ~'S'
The story Of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees Is a most interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are pearly
white berries. These come in the win
ter season, when food is comparatively
scarce, and hence some of our birds
eat them freely. Now. when a robin
eats a cherry he swallows simply the
meat and fllps the stone away. The
seed of the mistletoe the bird cannot
flip. 1t is sticky and holds to his bill.
His only resource is to wipe 1t of, and
he does so. leaving 1t sticking to the
branches of the tree on which he is
sitting at the time.
This seed sprouts after a time. and,
not finding earth-which, indeed. Its
ancestral habit has made 1t cease want
ing-it sinks its roots into the bark OF
the tree and hunts there for the pipes
that carry the sap. Now. the sap In
the bark is the very richest in the tree,
far richer than that in the wood, and
the mistletoe gets from Its host the
choicest of food. With strange fore
sight it does not throw its leaves away,
as do most parasites, but keeps them
to use In winter, when the tree Is leaf
less. - Professor s. G. Schmucker In
Ladies' Home Journal.

A Rattlesnake's Fnngs.

You often hear Of rendering a rattle
snake harmless by pulling out its
fangs. Then, again. you read Of cases
where serpent 30 treated has bitten
persons fatally. The reason for this is
that poisonous snake is deprived only
temporarily of its venomous powers by
the extraction of the two incisors In
the upper jaw, at the bases Of which
are the poison glands. OF course you
know that the fangs are hollow, 80
that when the animal strikes the ven
ON gushes through them into the flesh
of the person struck. Now, by draw
ing the two teeth the snake may be
rendered harmless for few weeks,
but after a short time the two teeth
just behind the original fangs move up
and take their places, making connec-
ton with the poison glands and thus
becoming poison fangs as good and ef-
fective as the old ones.

no horses. Yet some of the chargers of

noting that the horse will stand cold

where dog will die.

was lying in the harbor Of Port au
Prince. One day a mess cook for
some reason cleaned about a peck of
knives and forks on the gun deck, and,
being suddenly called away and not
wishing to spend time to go to the
galley, he seized the mess pot full OF
knives and forks and stuck It in the
muzzle of the ten inch gun, putting the
tampion in after 1t.
About an hour afterward the admiral
came aboard, and as the gun was
loaded with blank cartridge they used
It to fire salute.
1t happened that the gun was aimed
toward the town, and almost point
blank at the Grand hotel. The guests
assembled on the porch to witness the
ceremonies, when they were saluted
with a. rain of knives and forks,
which stuck against the wooden walls
like quills on porcupine.
Fortunately no one was hurt, al

Value of Education.

Once upon time a crow sat on
high branch Of a tree with large bit
of cheese In his mouth when an envi-
GUS and hungry fox came prowling
along and spied the choice morsel.
"You are a beautiful bird" said the
cunning fox. land yet your great beau
ty is not equal to your marvellous voice,
which charms all of the beasts Of the
forest. Pray, Mrs. Crow, do let me
hear you sing"
The crow turned her head to one
side, as Is the habit with such birds.
and looked at Mr.. Fox. Then she de-
liberately ate the cheese and after
clearing her voice spoke.
"Thank you for your compliment,
Mr.. Fox" she said. ''If you will wait
a minute. will sing for you. l never
speak or sing until after dinner since
have been reading ancient fables"
The fox did not wait, but trotted on
his way.
