GALE ALONG VIRGINIA COAST
MILES AND MILES OF WREckAGE
ALONG ,1E BEACH,.
Entire Section of Country Suffers
Great loss-Rescue of three Ne.
9roes by Surfman VIM. Capps Was
Most Heroic Act-TeIegraph Lines
All DoWn-Mills Forced to Close,

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 12.-The north
east gale that has ragged over this re-
gion since Thursday has practically
spent its power, but for miles and
miles along the Virginia coast the
beach is Uttered with wreckage, and
throughout this entire section of the
country devastation lies in the wake
of the stern. Thousands of people
crowded the coast Sunday to view the
wrecks of the big barges, Ocean Belle
and Georgia. The body of Captain
George H. Adams of the Georgia
washed ashore.
Daring Rescue.
The rescue of three negroes of the
crew by Surfman William Capps was
most heroic act. Caps, while two
miles from any other human being,
and patrolling his stretch between the
stations, saw one negro over 100 yards
off shore in the roaring surf. Without
a moments consideration he stripped
and plunged into the sea, that was al
ready seething mass of wreckage
from the barges, and after half hour
battle, single handed and alone,
brought the unconscious man to
shore. A moment later he discovered
through rift another form, and once
more went into the surf. This time
his struggle was harder one, but he
eventually succeeded in saving the
Not ha
lee of cliff, he started back to the
station to give the alarm, when he saw
third negro in the waves, and for
a third time plunged in and brought
an unconscious mar ashore.
While nothing new is reported IN
the way Of wrecks on the coast, there
is absolutely no means of securing in
formation from points more than six
miles south of Virginia Beach. The
entire coast telegraph system is pros
trated, and it will be some days be-
fore communication can be restored.
Anchored off Virginia Beach, with
no signs of life aboard, are two large
sea-going barges. Both are slowly but
surely dragging toward the beach.
What fate has befallen their crews
is not known.
At Cape Henry the bay and ocean
beach is covered with wreckage from
small craft and the mammoth double
decked pavilion is badly damaged.
The loss at Virginia Beach exceeds
that of any other place hereabouts.
Valuable Crops Ruined.
At Suffolk and in the Nansemond
country the peanut crop is ruineu to
a great extent and in eastern North
Carolina great damage has been done
to growing cotton. Big manufacture
ing plants along the many rivers CEN
tering in Hampton Roads have been
compelled to suspend and heavy loss
has been entailed by damage to ma
chinery. The truck farms are under
water and the fall crop is almost an
entire loss.
Norfolk City is now practically free
from the storm. Ihe break in the wind
has diminished the depth of water in
the streets and traffic is again in its
normal state. Along the water front
evidence of great loss is seen on every
hand and in the commercial section
near the wharves the damage to stock
by the flood has been very heavy.

WIS HYDROPHOB|A
Horse Acted Strangely and
Frothed at Mouth
HORSE PROMPTLY SHOT
Owner of Horse Still Badly
Frightened

Kingman, Kan. May PA few days
since, a horse belonging TO John Reimer
of Peters township became sick and acted
very strangely. 1t finally commenced
frothing at the mouth and would bite it
self and would snap and bite any object
that came in its way. Mr.. Reimer tried
doctoring the horse and used every rem
edy suggested. Mr. Reimer had a scratch
one one of him arms and while working
with the horse some of its saliva came in
contact with the sore. He became uneasy
for fear of blood poisoning and came in
TO consult physician. He described the
symptoms of the horses sickness to Vet
erinarian J. A. Huffman, who gave it as
his opinion that the horse had hydropho-
bia. The horse was promptly shot. Mr..
Reimer was then worse scared than ever.
he went over 10 Wichita Tuesday and
consulted another veterinarian, who ex-
pressed the opinion that the horse was
undoubtedly mad with hydrophobia. BY
this time Mr.. Reimer was very nervous
from fright, and he accordingly shaped
his affairs and started last night for Chi
cago for the purpose of entering the Pas
teur institute and taking treatment for
hydrophobia, that Observation-Disclosures
disease 1t is hoped his trip may afford
the desired relief

mitted has been saved and his sentence
committed to imprisonment for life.
Years ago John Vinso was an employee
of the Santa Fe in the local shops. He
became a member of the knights of Pyth-
las lodge and soon after moved away.
A few months ago the members of the
local lodge learned that the young man
was in Jail at Pierce City, No, with
ueath sentence hanging over him. 1t
seems that the young man had been set
upon by a crowd of rOushs and that dur
ing the melee he struck one Of his assail-
ants with a rock, killing him instantly.
There were many eXtenuating circum-
stances in connection with the affair and
indeed it was more than likely that the
young man never hoped or intended 70
kill his assailant when he threw the
stone. AT the trial the young mans
case was not properly presented by his
counsel and as result he was sentenced
to death. As soon as the Knights learned
of the affair. efforts were made to have
the sentence committed to life impris-
onment. Judge S. r. Peters was sent 70
Missouri to investigate the case and
to ascertain to just what extent the
young man was culpable. The matter
was presented to Governor Dockery Of
.e state of Missouri and today Judge
Peters received word that the young
mans sentence had been committed To
life Imprisonment. The local knights of
Pythias lodge, has spent considerable
money in the case to defray necessary
expenses, but they have the conscious
ness of having saved the life of a brother
member.

pulse to Take Peoples Food.

Salina, Kan, May EBERT Hopkins,
well known about town. is in the city
jail on the charge of drunkenness. Hop
kins has been drinking considerable
of late and it is believed that liquor has
caused him to become unbalanced men
tally. He seems to have a desire to pick
up and carry off things which he sees,
probably not realizing the seriousness of
his actions. Assistant Marshal Beard
found Hopkins going north on Santa Fe
the other night carrying away the big
advertising trunk which stands in front
of Ober's clothing store. He has also
been charged with picking up other arti-
cles. and his peculiar actions caused the
police to keep watch over him several
days previous to his arrest. He INDUCED
in loud yelling for a time this morning
when lying on his cot in the city prison.
It is probable that Hopkins will be taken
to the county Jail and held pending an
investigation of his case

little coyote cubs. Mr.. Pollard screened
off a window in the drug store u 2iS

drawing cards and there is almost con-

full grown cat and frisk about like play
full kittens They are OF a reddish grey
color and resemble very much young
foxes with their roirted noses and cars
