Last Tuesday Mr. johnson and his
wife were members of a party that
went out to the mountains for q
short hunting trip. While in camp

full wound. AS soon as daylight
came Mr.. Johnson was placed in a
buggy and the drive of seventy-five
miles to Roswell was made SO that
they arrived here yesterday after
noon about three clock. and Mr.
Johnson was at once given medical
attention. The bullet was located but
1t was not deemed advisable at this
time to remove it. Although Mr.
Johnson is very sore from his long
ride he is resting today as easily as
could be expected. The only serious
danger now is from blood poisoning,
but it is not thought that there is
any imminent danger of this.

JOHN W. GRAVES LEAVES.
Most Favorabiy Impressed With the
Richness Of This Country.

HicnneSS OF ms Country.
John w. Graves, of Oklahoma City
the president OF the proposed Okla
homa, Roswell and White Mountain
railroad. left this morning for his
home after ten days trip to the
mountains. This was Mr. Graves first
visit to this portion of the country,
and he expressed himself freely to
a RECORD representative that the
richness of the country he had Wis.,
tied was far ahead of his expecta-
tions It's richness as a lumber dis
trict and IN its production of coal,
copper, gold and the rich minerals
was far greater than he had antici-
pated. He thought the Mescalero peo-
pie here and the old Governors Cop
per Company had some most valua-
Bile property, as only short time
will prove. Mr.. Graves stated that
all this country now needed to the
west of us was a railroad, and this
would be built in very short time.
The country between here and the
White mountains could not be bet
ter for railroad building, only a lit
tie grading will have to be done,
and there are no heavy grades to be
made. A surveying party will soon
be on the ground for the purpose of
making the final survey. Mr.. Graves
talked as if there was no doubt what
ever but that the road would be
built in the very near future

25.-The Bourse Gazette in a leading
article on Japiphilism maintains that
prO-Japanese sympathy among the
leading commercial nations at the
outbreak of the war is not being sus-
tanned, owing to a fuller realization
that the growth of the Japanese in
to a great commercial country will
mean the destruction of all the Euro
peans have accomplished in the far
east.

Missionary Tea.

Yesterday afternoon the third Mis-.
sionary afternoon and tea of the Pro.
testant Episcopal church was given
by Mrs. Kate B. McGaffey at her
commodious home on North Kentuc-
ky avenue.
The attendance was large and the
meeting full of interest. After the
usual prayers for missions and mis-
sionaries, the Rector gave an ad.
dress on The Extent of Missionary
| Operations of This Church." from
which it appeared that there are 20
| missionary bishops with their respec-
tive jurisdictions in this country. AL
so missions in Africa. Cuba, China.
Japan. Brazil Hayti. Honolulu and
Mexico
In Europe there are American
churches in Dresden, Florence. Gene
va. Lucerne, Munich. Nice. Paris and
Rome.
The growth of the missionary spir-
it amongst the women of the chrch
was shown by the united offerings
of the Auxiliary to the Board of Mis-
sions. Beginning with $2,1SS in 1889.
it grew to s2O.353 in 1892. s56.19S In
1895. $S2,742 in 1898. and in 1901 1t
reached the magnificent sum of S107,.
600. The total contributed for mis-
sions by this church last year was
$G77 ,975. This year 1926, 900 are need.

ANOTHER FIRE.
Whiteman Brothers Stable Destroy
cd Last Mint

Whiteman Brothers, Stable Destroy.
ed Last Night.
The curfew bell last night was
turned into a fire alarm. The curfew
alarm was turned in. and the tolling
gave place at once to the rapid beats
of the fire alarm. 1t was discovered
that the stable of Whiteman Broth.
ers on South Main. on lot IL and
block was ablaZe. The fire compa.
ny made a good run to the fire, but
the absence of water plugs in that
part of town made it necessary to
lay almost a thousand feet of hose,
as the water had to be pumped from
the Cunningham ditch. The barn
was practically destroyed before the
water was thrown. but all the neigh
boring property was well protected.
1t is not known how the fire origi-
mated. Sheriff Higgins was the first
to see the flames. and at the time
they were coming out of the roof.
Only a few minuts before an employe
of the Whiteman Brothers had taken
the horses to water. 1t is thought by
some that it may be a case of incen-
diarism The loss is about $500 with
only $50 insurance
Ten tons of hay had just been stor.
ed in the barn. and there were also
several cases of glass and crockery.

-, Chicago, Mar. 25.-Reports today
from the storm swept area and IN
and about Chicago indicate that the
havoc wrought is even greater than
first believed. The property loss from
the eOstorm which was of a tornado
character in several districts was
augmented later by heightening OF
the floods which had but partially
receded from the previous heavy rain
falls. In Dauphin Park and vicinity
the water has arisen until the nrSt
floors of many homes are submerged
and families are fleeing in boats.
The business in that part OF town
is suspended and the schools closed.
The business part of East Chicago
was flooded and much damage from
wind and water is reported in the
residence part of town. Communica-
ton by wire with the affected points
is badly crippled and the trolley lines
are practically tied up. Incoming rail-
road trains bring only stories OF ac-
tual,fuin in the city's environs. The
freight car shops of the Nickle Plate
railroad were the center of minia-
ture tornado. The large buildings
used as repair shop were partly
wrecked the roof being hurled into
adjoining buildings. About the shops
were large number of freight cars.
Many of these were thrown from the
tracks while others were unroofed.
Chicago, Mar. 25.-Farther details
of the damage caused by last nights
storm in the suburbs of Chicago are
obtainable today. At Washington
Heights several persons were injur-
ed and many houses blown down and
unroofed In Morgan Park and Fern
wood the storm reached the proper
tions of a tornado. Five houses were
zunroofed, another blown from the
foundation. and miles of telephone
Gtelegraph poles were blown down
Twisted telegraph wires blocked the
Rock Island and Panhandle railroad
tracks. Sidewalks were wrenched
from their place and thousands of
yards of fences were scattered on
the streets. Almost every house in
Burnside was damaged by the storm.
Chimneys were blown down, roofs
torn away. and there was scarcely
an unbroken window left in this sub
urb. No person was injured there so
FAR as learned. In South Chicago the
storm continued throughout the en-
tire night Fred Brunk and wife were
injured when their roof was blown
The situation at Dauphin Park

under water already and the side
walks in the south end of town are
submerged The wind put an end to

street and in Evanston.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan 23.-Today's stock
market was irregular. but the hating
movement was not more than Is natural
under the profittaking invited by the
weeks rise and was sustained by scveras
important points OF positive strength.
After the publication of the bank state
ment there was an effective rally and the
market closed steady with no important
net losses en- the day. The operators IN
the market seemed satisfied with the m
crease in the surplus reserve OF the banks
ard were not impressed with the stag
gering showing of the increases i nthe
various items, which broke all records in
several instances. There is general
agreement that the rapid expansion now
in progress represents largely transfer
of obligations from trust companies and
outside banks to clearing house institu-
tions which pay interest on deposits of
other institutions. The statements of
New York trust companies not yet COM
plete. for the six months ending Deem
Der 31st last. show q net decrease in de-
posts of s1G2, SIC, 033 for thrty-five COM
panies reporting, which represents re-
duction in proportion of liability upon
bank reserves. as trust companies keep
their reserves largely on deposit with
the banks. But the suggestion is also
made that the present heavy influx of
funds from the interior to New York
may represent in part operations by the
Treasury in making the Panama Canal
payment. It is said on good authority
that interior repositories have not yet re-
ceived notice of any call upon their gov
eminent deposits. Banking opinion seems
to be that the demand for money has
so far declined as to promise lethoric
condition in the local money market in
the immediate future.
