and property estimated TO be worth
$L00000O was destroyed as a result Of
the tornado which wrecked this little
city.
The tornado lowered about the city
only a few minutes, but its work OF
destruction was complete. The Roman
Catholic church. standing directly IN
the path of the storm. alone escaped
damage OF destruction and stands ss q
grim sentinel on a scene Of desolation.
Main street and Cypress avenue, the
two principal thoroughfares. are i'm
passable and piled high with wreck
age from end to end.
Every business house Is IN ruins and
there is hardly a home that has not at
least suffered the loss Of a roof or
wing. The Arlington hotel was to-
tally destroyed. Eighty guests were
registered there. but all escaped un-
injured. The Brinkley hotel, Southern
hotel and Kelley hotel were all de-
stroyed without loss Of life.

Pittsburg, March 10.-There was a
row at As Aurelia street. when Mrs.
J. Wagner, Of next door, came in with
a dozen of eggs and recalled that she
had borrowed a dozen from Mrs.
Brown some weeks ago. Mrs. Brown
announced that a dozen eggs would
not square matters. While she had
lent her neighbor only a dozen. they
were worth so cents, while today the
price is 20 cents. Mrs. Wagner an

WILLIAMS BASEBALL TEAM

The ball game Sunday between the Willia ms team and the Indians was won by the Williams boys, the score being 16 to 6. The Indians were handicapped, as part of their team was not here. The catcher for the Indians is a ball player, and the pitcher was good, flaming out some of our best players. The Indians recived $5 for playing, with a promise of $4 additional if they defeated the Williams team. They made a great effort. but Percy Munroe, the twirler for the home team, was too much for them. Ellis, who played center field, is employed by the Santa Fe as a carpenter. He played with Gallup last year and his work Sunday was perfect. Freddie Baum made good on second as did Remoa on third and Johnson on first. Roy Wat son played we'll in right field and Curtis, who played left, is an artist in any position he is placed. Joe Martinez, the catcher, is there with the goods, and taken as whole the team is one that will undoubt- edly reflect credit on the town.
 Now that we have lineup on the players, the next thing is to get the uniforms. The boys are all anxious to represent Williams. There is no reason why we can't have first class ball club. Ash Fork, a village compared to Will jams, has team. as we'll as Flag staff and Winslow. Our boys are anxious to play Gallup. That town is said to have the best team along the line.
 1 Flagstaff is getting ready to chal- lenge us for game two Sundays
 hence, offering to come here and open the season. If the uniforms for the Williams players can be secured by that time, our people will be given an exhibition of base
 ball that will be we'll worth seeing

THE NEWS is grieved to learn of the death of Claude w. Horton, who passed away at the home of his parents in Los Angeles on April 27. He was sufferer from lung trouble and the past five years of his life were spent in Arizona and parts of California in a fruitless effort to regain his health. He spent several months in Williams. where he made many friends. and all who knew him will feel deep regret at his taking off.

Teachinq Cubs to Kill.

Have you ever seen a cat catch a mouse and hand 1t over to her kittens to teach them how to kill? Well, a tiger is merely big cat, and she teaches her cubs almost in the same way, only not with mice. An East In. dian officer witnessed n scene of this kind An old bull bison had been the victiyl, and the tigress had disabled him by breaking one of his forelegG just below the knee. She never touched the throat, the usual place of seiZing, but allowed the cubs to worry the disabled animal. The eyewitness relates that the cubs acted exactly like kittens, advanced and retreated and worried the victim, all the time new ing and snarling, while the tigress sat near by, watching their antics and oc- casiOnally giving the bison blow witt her paw when he showed undue ac. tiyity.
