it was of little use for the Rock ISL

on base the men could not help max

the lucky man. On going to base
after coming in contact with one of

Smiths error. The inning was pro-
ductive of three runs. Dwyer, first up,

most astonishing. To cap the climax
Graham lined n full grown and
healthy hit which scored Dryer and

and Nandine came in with the run
which made the total an even dozen.

small houses were demolished, and
about thirty others were blown from
their foundations or rolled over on their

five or thirty persons were injured
slightly. At the town of Nelson, about
FIVE miles north of Pittsburg, the depot
was wrecked and several houses were
blown from their foundations. J. Nc
Mullen, a miner, was killed. and Geo.
Banks, his wife, his son and daughter
were dangerously injured. At Midway

works are located, several houses were
damaged and several persons were in
jured slightly.
