CLOUDS RAIN TWO TONS
OF LIVE FISH ON TOWN
Every One in Independence Has Deli
caey for Dinner Through
Kindness Of Sky.

Kansas City, Mo-, June "a large
quantity OF small, silver-colored fish,
which closely resembled mountain
trout, fell from the sky, lat Indepen-
dence q Kansas City suburb, this al.
ternoon. Althougha o few Of the fish
fell In all parts of the town, the fall
was heaviest on.the public square. SO
many OF the fish fell there that the
catch basins were clogged, and the
wauer backed up and covered the side
walks. Nearly everybody In Indepen-
dence who wished it, had fish for din
ner, this evening. 1t is estimated
that the total quantity of fish which
fell was about two tons. They cover
ed the whole square, and when carried
by the running water to the catch
basins piled up On the iron nettings to
the depth Of foot. Some of the III
( tile fish were alive and swan around
Driskly, but the great quantity o.
them had been killed by the fall.
