TRAGIC DEATH Of FARMER BOY
Was Found Dead in Field With a
Frighttul Wound in Breast.

The 15-yearold son of II. F.
Brooks, a prosperous farmer living
two and one-half miles east of We
nus, in Ellis county was found dead
Thursday afternoon with a shotgun
load in his breast. The young mans
father left home that morning to
come to WaXahachie, and told the
boy to take the team and stalk cut
ter and cut cotton stalks while he
was away. The balance of the family
spent the day with relatives in the
neighborhood and left the young
man at work. He was found in the
field late in the afternoon with his
clothes burned off and his body
black where the powder had burned
him.
1t is supposed he took the gun to
the field to kill birds and was car
rying it on the stalk cutter when it
got tangled up and vert off, killing
him. The team was found wandering
around in the field and it is not
known how long the boy had been
dead.

Furious Wind and Sand Storm
Prevails in Eastern
Oklahoma.
HEAVY DAMAGE IS DONE
Blowing at Rate Of Sixty Miles an
Hour, Gale Plays Havoc With the
Telegraph Lines-Several
Persons Injured.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 29-Okla-
homa yesterday experienced the
hardest windstorm it has seen for
many years, when a gale blew the
entire day more than sixty miles an
hour. Reports coming in here tell
of narrow escapes from death of a
number of people and much damage
done to property.
At Enid George Herndcn, a far
mer, was blown from a load of hay
and probably fatally injured. Mrs.
J. D. Davidson, Miss Irene Smith
and Mrs j. " Admire were standing
inside a drug store when the large
plate glass was blown in upon
them. Mrs. Davidson was seriously
cut about the face and hands and
the other two were slightly injured.
A portion of the walls Of the Com
mercial hotel at Ardmore fell in and
Mrs. Tom Laster was slightly injur-
ed, narrowly escaping being buried
under the ruins. The Arlington ho-
tel there was blown off its founda-
ton.
A farmhouse at the edge of town
at Carmen burned and for time the
town was threatened. 1t was report
ed that Goltry, small town near
Carmen, and Sayre, had been hard
hit by the wind, but no definite news
can be obtained from either of the
places tonight. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires were damaged.
