by Horses.

S. w. Cooper was brought home on d
Wichita and Western train yesterday
morning from Kingman county, where he
was seriously injured by a runaway. He
received three broken ribs and a broken

with a livery team when the accident
happened. Shortly after starting on the
trip one Of the horses he was driving
cut its leg on a barb wire fence. At d
farm house he secured another and left
the crippled animal at that place Re

sisiance of small boy, when the horses
became frightened and lunged forward
Mr.. Cooper was directly in the path Of
the animals. and was knocked down and
trampled before he was rescued.

FALL HEAVIER ELSEWHERE

For the first time in fully seven weeks.
although it seemed fully as many months,
Wichita and vicinity received much
needed and welcome rain last night.
About O'Clock Weather Observer Todd
called the Eagle by telephone and said
that Wichita stood good show for a
severe rain storm before morning. He
added that the barometer, which had
been very low all day, was unusually
so at that time and that the indications
We're extremely good for downpour
AT about O'Clock Todd ; prophecy came
true. First there was a light sprinkling
of rain a sort OF warning to pedes-
TRANS that a shower was. coming. Five
minutes later the water fairly poured
down. Some hail was noticed in the
downpour but not enough fell to do any
damage. and it ceased falling after a few
minutes.
The rain was all over in ten minutes,
although considerable fell in that time;
q sufficient amount, il is thought. to
greatly aid the growing crops, which
were badly in need Of moisture
Reports received by the Eagle from
surrounding towns said that the rain
was general south and east of here It
did not extend very far north or west
however. The rain came from the east.
A heavy fall was received in the vicinity
Of Murdoch and Garden Plain which be-
gan long before it arrived at Wichita.
Oklahoma is also said to have received
more rain than was experienced in this
locality.
Up to an early hour this morning the
sky was still cloudy and there were in
dications that the rain might begin fall
Ing again at most any time. According
to the weather bulletin, more rain viii
be experienced in this locality before the
storm conditions pass away entirely
