GOOD WEATHER

High Winds Reported at Mt,
Hope
RAIN FALL WAS HEAVY

Atmospheric conditions yesterday af-
ternoon and last night were favorable
for cyclones and the timid people of TIE
city kept the~weather man busy at the
telephone answering their anxious queT-
les.
The afternoon was sultry and opprcs-
sive, with heavy banks Of clouds hang
ing over the city. Showers fell every
Few minutes and the afternoon generally
was very uncomfortable one Towards
evening the clouds gathered their forces
IN the southwest and before SHUTDOWN
lightning was flashing in great zigzag
breaks across the sky. AbuOt the same
time the barometer in the weather Of
nee was dancing over the record in q
very startling manner and the weather
man divided his time between the barom-
eter and the window, watching for any
thing that looked like d cyclone Ram
fell in torrents and the lightning
flashed almost continually, but beyond
this nothing serious happened in Wichita
The report came in late last night that
Mount Hope. eighteen miles northwest
of this city, had been visited by a hurri-
cane or tornado and that outbuildings,
windmill5 and property in general had
been severely damaged. The report stated
that the storm lasted one hour and that
it was estimated that the wind Travelled
AT the rate or forty or nifty miles an
hour. No further particulars have been
learned, and il is hoped that the storm
was nothing more than high wind.
Persons whS--arrived in the city on the
Santa Fe at 1920 last evening stated
that storm similar to that which struck
Mount Hope passed near Mulvane last
night about 10 o'clock and did consider
able damage. The train which they were
on passed throUg~<he storm and it was
feared for time that it would be blown
from the track. Nothing more definite
has been heard from Mulvane since and
the extent of the storm and the amount
Of damage is not known.
During the storm in this city last night
one inch of rain fell between and 10
