Terrific Hail Storm.

AS far as the memory Of the Oldest
residents of the western part OF Fay
cite county serves, the hail storm that
swept over that section Saturday after
noon is the worst. The hail was &C
cOmpanied by nigh wind and heavy
rain almost clouGburst, so that the
destruction was practically complete.
The storm was the severest through a
strip three to FIVE miles wide, and RUM
ing. the entire length of Fayette count :
covering an area of 40, 600 acres. In
many places and on many farms the
corn, tobacco, hemp and gardens are
totally destroyed SO that it is a conser-
vative estimate that over $500, 900 dam
age was done the few minutes Of the
storm. Lightning The most vivid of
the season was q feature Of the storm.
The large tobacco barn on the Combs
farm was struck and burned to the
ground. Over 200 bales of straw were
burned in the barn, and the loss is esti-
mated at So, 900.

Hooker Captured At Last.

Captain William Jenkins, of the Lex
ington Police Department, went to
Cincinnati Sunday morning and iden-
titled Robert Hooker, the negro, who
murdered D. H. Veal, farmer, whose
home was eight miles from Lexington.
Hocker's crime has aroused the COM
munity Ii which the murder was com
mitted, and already have the Lexing-
ton police taken steps to return Hooker
without knowledge of it becoming
known to friends and neighbors Of
Veal, who threaten violence.
Hooker admitted his identity, and
madeka confession, claiming the killing
was done in self defense. The shoot
ing took place about two months ago.
Hooker, who is married, and has two
children, owed Veal, a bachelor, So.
Hooker at various times was employed
by two brothers of the deceased.
It was while driving past the farm
house, which Veal was embarrassing,
that Hooker hailed him. The two be-
came involved in an argument, and
the negro claims Veal threw rock at
him. The latter fired the contents of
a Winchester rifle at close range, kill
ing Veal instantly. His escape caus-
ed his pursuerS much concern. Cap
tain Jenkins formerly employed
Hooker, and, although this was IA
years ago, the former instantly recog-
nized the negro at police headquarters
The negro Hooker announced his
willingness to return to Kentucky with
out requisition papers, and CAPTAIN
Jenkins and several other officers, to
be on the safe side in case Hooker was
disposed to change his mind, took him
to Covington, where he reiterated his
confession.
