FIERCE STORM IN SOUTH DA.
 K0TA.
Bishop Johnson and Other Clergy In
 Peril.

Word has been received of a fierce storm in South Dakota in which Bishop Johnson and two of his clergy were in peril of their liveson Sunday, June 20. On Saturday the Bishop had consecrated a church recently completed at Dallas, a new city of
 rripp County, in the newly opened section of the great Rosebud Indian reservation. Sunday he had or dained to the priesthood Re, ". Blair Roberts of Hartford, Conn.,, who went out to South Dakota as a young deacon frcm Berkeley divinity school, last July, and who has had charge of organizing the church
 work and building the new church at Dallas. At three o'clock Sunday aft ernoon, Bishop Johnson, with Rev MT Roberts and another clergyman who had been present for the ordin- ation, started in an automobile for Fairfax, 50 miles distant, at which point the bishop had been an- nounced to preach ana to confirm a class that evening. At little town five miles from Fairfax, at o'clock, a storm broke suddenly, driving such thick clouds of dust that it was al. most impossible for the men to see each other in the car. Dazed Ey the storm and blinded by the dust the driver of the car crashed through l fence and brought up alongside of house. All jumped from the car which they feared every moment wonl': be overturned, and fornI such protection as they could against the leeward side of the house. Rain, hail, wind and lightning continued for 15 or 20 minutes; then the sun shone bright again. The car was soaked with water which put it out of com mission. A team of horses was se- cured and the remaining five miles of the journey was made. Many barns and houses had been overturned and unro fed. Many families who had never done so before had taken to the cellars of their houses. The evening service at Fairfax was held at the hour appointed The Bishop is reported to have confirmed a class and to have preached with great power and dignity" and no one knew that he and his fellow clergy were drenched to the skin from be- ing unsheltered in one of the fiercest storms that South Dakota ever ex- perienced
