THE EMPORIA TORNADO
Was the Most Destructive Twister Ever
Seen There.

Emporia, Kan. May 3.-The storm
which visited this city Sunday night
was the worst that the oldest settlers
can recall. The tornado of thirty
years ago was not nearly so destruc
tive nor was ii as far reaching. From
west to east The path of the ''twister''
can be easily followed Houses, barns,
outbuildings and trees were swept
away as easily as though they were
made of paper. Like all storms of this
nature, the tornado played strange
FRANKS. In some places porches were
torn off one side of houses and car
ried around 20 the other.
Buildings which were mere shells
were left standing While others of more
substantial quality were demolished.
One of the most miraculous things
about this calamity was the absence
of any fatalities. Not a person was
over fifty head of horses were in barns
which were demolished by the tornado
and yet not one was killed
The hurricane first struck the home
of Mrs. Anna NJ. Randolph The fam
lily were all in the house and heard it
coming. They looked out the west win
dows and saw a low flying cloTd rap
lily approaching with tremendous noise.
The tornado was in the shape of a fun
mel and seemed to be dipping up and
down.
When it struck the work was done
in a twinkling. The orchard, which
was 35 years old, was literally torn
up by the roots and scattered to the
adjoining fields. Every outbuiIding on
the place was RACED to the ground.
Chickens were killed and lost and all
the fine pine cedar trees around the
house were torn up by the roots The
family did not think of the cellar I'M
til after the damage was done and in
fact they would not have had time to
seek a place of safety il the house
had gone. The loss was about $4,000.

Richard and Gleason and for the
managers of both fighters. the bust
ness on hand being the depositing of
$4,000 the second installment Of the
fight forfeit. and a conference relative
to the selection of a referee.
But for the absence of bank officials

So spoke Jim Jeffries last night, vol
and out of the exuberance of
high spirits. The big fighter. aglow
with vitality, and brimfuI of conf
dence, came out with that statement in
a burst of confidence that caused his
hearers to wonder.
"Jeff's getting garrulous," was the
comment of the camp. And there was
cause for the remark, for as a rule
Jeffries is as taciturn as pedagogue
with the mumps.

Furious Little Fighter Gives Tommy Houck a Bad Beating at

Keeps Him in the Race.

pumping a hard right to the body
when in close. Houck, the smaller of
the two, couldn't get home half his
punches, n those that did land lacked
power. Burns is a more seasoned
fighter, n his experience helped him
when the going got good and fast. He
got inside of Houck's jabs and ripped
his right in at every opening, making
Houck bend over from the effect of the
punches.
Both boys weighed in at 116 pounds
ringside and were trained to the min
ute. 1t took some time before Burns
solved the awykard style of the Qua
ker. but after he got going he clearly
demonstrated his class and a Tommy
at his mercy. In the eighth round
Burns mad Houck to the bad with three
well-placed left hooks on the jaw. The
same thing happened in the ninth
round, and Tommy gamely fought back,
but he was weak from the body punch
ing he had received in the previous
rounds. Houck made a rally in this
round, which gave his hackers new
hope, but he was not equal to the rough
pace Burns was setting and he soon
faded away.
