A disastrous tornado swept Phillips
county Wednesday evening. The
storm did the greatest damage north
and northeast Of Phillipsburg. leav-
ing death and destruction in its path
The bodies Of two storm victims were
brought to PhiIIipsburg early in the
evening, and many injured were also
hurriedly conveyed to town for med
zeal aid As soon as the tornado pass
ed by PhiIlipsbUrg, and the reports
Of the casualties reached the town,
relief parties employing all the livery
rigs in Phillipsburg. hurried to the
wrecked homes Of the people
Phillipsburg, in the edge Of the
revolving storm, witnessed very
strong wind, which wrecked several
small buildings, and tore down trees
and stripped them OF their branches.
A locomotive engine standing by it
self on the main track, was pushed
by the wind and started slowly down
the line, but was OYertaken by the
men who ran after it and brought
back
In the vicinity Of PhiIlipsburg, the
tornado was accompanied by a show
er Of terrific hail. which were as
large as a base ball, and even larger.
They plowed through the roofs Of
houses and riddled windows and
pOrches as they had been bombarded
with light artillery.
Richard Powers of Goodland was
in PhiIlipsburg when the storm came.
He had been down to Logan with a
drove Of horses, and had returned to
PhillipsbUrg, being, just before the
tornado passed along, at the home Of
a brOther-in-law. At about o'clock
ne started to the Rock Island depot
to wait for a westbOund train. While
on the way he was obliged to step
into a store on account Of rain, and
a high wind The heavy rush Of a
mighty wind soon followed.
THE sky looked terrible" said Mr..
Powers yesterday The clouds were
as black as night, and while I wasn't
looking for a genuine tornado, knew
there was plenty Of wind in them.
The first tangible evidence Of a
storm was when big heavy drops of
rain began to fall. and I took shelter
in a store A little later, we could
hear the hOarse, roaring sound Of
wind We were soon in the outer
circle Of the storm. The trees strug-
gled helplessly, and the unstable
buildings were torn asunder and scat
tered on the ground
while this was happening, the
biggest hail stones 7 ever saw and
ever expect to see began a fusilade.
When quiet came, We picked up
chunks Of ice as large as pint bowls.
One OF them. remember, weighed
three pounds and measured twenty
three inches in circumference
The wind broke of telegraph poles
as thouh they were straws and strung
the wires hither and thither."
Reports differ as to casualties. One
report is that fourteen lives were lost,
another puts it at twelve The latest
and most reliable report is that eight
were killed
The storm was three miles wide
and twelve miles long, and ranged
from northwest to southeast.

GOOdIand Team LOOses to Colby, and
Divides HOnOrs With SeIden.
Within the last week GOOdland's bah
team has wrestled on its own field
three times, with only one down in
its favor.
Thursday and Friday, two games
were played with the Selden club at
the GoOdland park. The first game
was not a difficult one for the home
stickers. They struck the ball freely,
and played evenly in the field

The visitors had a better card up
their sleeves for the second game, and
they Of course had to play it. Motz

in the box they had He proved to
be a substantial man, but he did not
win the game, not so much as Good

put a man out on a base when the
opportunity was at home.

Monday the third game with Colby
was pulled of on the home grounds.
Each club had a point in its favor,
and the third game was to have the
plume in it While GoOdland players
have not been seen to wear that par

Of. In fact it was played so well by

NORTH AND SOUTH LINE.
Rock Island May Build Cut-On From
Fairbury to HeFingtOn.


Clifton. Kan, June 27.-W. L Oar
ling, chief engineer Of the Rock Is
land system, stepped from the early
morning westbOund passenger train
here today and Immediately entered
carriage waiting for him and drove
nOrthward from this city.
The utmost secrecy has been OBJ
served in his movements, and it IS
believed here that Mr.. Darling's visit
at this time is in connection with the
plans for the construction Of the pro-
posed link or cutoff between Fair
bury, Neb., and Herington, Kan.
It is now pretty definitely under
stood that the Rock Island intends
building this line in the near future.
Surveys have already been made, and
it is barely possible that work viii be
ordered begun soon, If not this sum-
mer, by next summer at the very
latest
The proposed construction will be
from FairbUry to Clifton, using the
present main line south from Clifton
to BrOughtOn, and the further con-
struction Of the line from Broughton
to some point near Enterprise on the
Salina branch, and using this branch
running directly south the remainder
Of the way to Harrington.
Thus by the construction Of about
40 miles Of railroad track, a new
route will be opened up for freight
and passenger traffic to and from the
northern main line Of the Rock Island
passing through Omaha, to the south
line Of the Rock Island extending
through Wichita to OklhOma and
Texas
The most important feature IN this
connection is that the construction OF
this link viii cut out more than a
hundred miles Of distance for traffic
destined to pass from northern points
to southern points or vice versa

hopeful view Of General Linevitch's

thirty-six hours old, Oyama, after fore

tics, however, agree that the frontal
movement is merely a feint for the

Russian wings, without which moth

is possible The impression is that
Oyamas prOfting by past experience,

MOOREs RAINFALL RECORD.
''Uncle Fuller of Mcpherson Town
ship Has 1t Down Fine.


About two weeks ago, this paper
printed a government record Of the
rainfall for a number Of years in Wal
lace county, including the spring
months only. 1t was an indication
that if Wallace received a certain
amount Of moisture, Sherman county
got equally as much The two coun-
ties have the same fate in the for
tune Of rainfall 1t was not known
that any complete record had been
kept by anyone living in Sherman
county, but J. 3. Moore can generally
come to the rescue, and here hobs up
serenity with a water record for the
months Of March, April, May and
June:
March, 1905, precipitation 2 3 in.
April, 1905, precipitation AZ in.
May, 1905, precipitation 2 2-S in.
June, 1905, precipitation 35s in.
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1905-06-30

Mr.. Moore said that the rainfall in
some other parts Of the county, Good
land for instance, had received more
moisture than had his neighborhoOd
in Mcpherson township, which would
aggregate, he thinks, fully as much
as was given in the table for Wallace
county.
The above is the tail end Of nine
teen years Of such record I've kept
in Sherman county, Kansas" said Mr.
Moore.
