COMFORTABLE THEATER
ATTRACTS BIG CROWDS

The crowds that filled the Harnois
theatre three times last night fully
demonstrated the fact that Missoula
theatre goers want nothing SO much
as a good, comfortable theatre in
which to see pictures and that when
the comfortable orchestra chairs are
coupled with rafting good show
they will attend in body.
Last night "The Altered Message"
when North and South Met" and
weighed In the Scales" were the pic
ture plays and It would be hard In
deed to tell which was the better, as
all three were grippingly interesting.
Marie De Bond Jeancon captivated
the capacity audience with her sweet,
clear voice and il sure to prove a
big feature with the Harnois patrons.
Manager Harnois offers the picture
plays all but two nights the present
week. The nights when there will be
no pictures are wednesday, when "The
Flirting Princess" is at the thatre, and
on Friday. when Checkers. comes to
MissOula.

PEAT MAKES REPLY
TO QUEST|0NERS
OF PUBLIC
SAFETY ANSWERS CON-
MUNlcATloNs.

Editor Mlssoulian:
AS superintendent OF the department
under which the city herder is en-
ployed and answering recent COM
munications to the press. I wish to
thank the writer for the suggestion
and trust the problem can be solved
next season along that line, for I am
In favor OF It, But I will ask the
writer to consider the following facts:
The present herder is a cripple, be-
coming so while In the employ of the
city. He has a large family Of small
children and is unable to walk or
work as an ordinary man. but is able
to ride horseback which is the prin-
cipal duty of herder In city the
size OF Missoula. AS he Is liable for
duty any hour Of the day or night and
besides supporting his large family
has to feed and keep horse. also pay
for a phone in connection with his
work, his salary of 800 per month Is
not excessive and considering that the
receipts from the pound the past
three months have averaged $40
month against an average of $l1.50
per month the other seven months, we
can safely say that he Is efficient.
shall be glad at any time to dis
cuss or answer such questions of pub
lie interest with the public through
the press.

TO BEAT A HORSE

A large crowd collected yesterday
for. the purpose of watching George
Veach put on one-man act back OF
the heating plant. Veach was the only
man, but his horse also figured In
the sketch. About 100 people took
front row seats, and about so more
witnessed the spectacle from the
bridge. Veach. who had secured fair
cargo OF Intoxicating liquors. got into
some kind of an argument with his
horse and proceeded to emphasize his

finally stopped by the police and Veach

cyclone struck Richardsmere, four
miles west OF Rising Sun, Monday morn
ing about g o'clock and in a few minutes
wrought thousands of dollars damage.
Fortunately no lives were lost, although
w. III. Nesbitt had his hand badly frac-
tured by having door blown against it.
Buildings, trees and telephone lines we're
torn down and scene of devastation was
left in the path of the funnel-shaped cloud
which descended upon the little hamlet,
formerly known as Porters Bridge. on
the Octoraro creek.
The cyclone was accompanied by a
tremendous downpour of rain which
covered this whole section. although the
damage by wind was confined to narrow
strip about an eighth of mile in width
across the creek.
The large -four mill at Richardsmere,
owned by the Penna. Water Company
and operated by ]. A. Atkinson, was
badly damaged and $1,000 worth of its
contents utterly ruined. The building is
of stone and frame and pieces of slate
roof were driven through other buildings
nearly half mile distant. Atkinson's
dwelling was unroofed, and the contents
flooded. the large barn was lifted from its
foundations and big shed adjoining
crushed to the earth.
At w. H. Nesbitt's place, on the mill
property, great damage was done. The
home was unroofed. windows blown in
and the porch carried entirely away.
Mrs. Nesbitt and her daughter escaped
only by leaping down the cellarway
Nesbitt and his son had taken refuge in
the barn, where the metal roof was torn
off and the door blown inward. To pro-
tect his boy Nesbitt threw out his hands
to catch the door, thereby saving the lad
but getting badly fractured hand. Sec
tions of the corrugated iron roof were
found about Richards oak and on ]. H.
Evans farm. two miles distant.
The cyclone crossed the creek above the
bridge and swept away barn on Con-
stance Larue's place, moved a path
through the field and up the road to j. G..
Richards farm
Numerous other small buildings were
demolished corn fields leveled and trees
torn out by the roots.
A chimney was blown from ]. Granville

CYCLONE STRIKES RICHARDSMERE.
Great Damage Done In Few Moments BY Furious
Wind And Rain Last Monday- Buildings
Demolished And Trees Uprooted.

The Company was notified of the damage
and hastily loading car with cable and
other repair material had it sent out by
express from Philadelphia and placed on
the siding at Rising Sun Tuesday eve-
ming. The material was accompanied by
a large force Of workmen who have since
been engaged in repairing the damage.
The Pennsylvania railroad tracks above
Port Deposit were submerged and train
service held up for an hour. Basin Run
at New Valley was out of its banks and it
and other small streams did considerable
damage to the county roads.
Howand Reynolds, rural mail carrier,
attempted to cross small stream at Robt.
A. B. Mearns' farm, near Pennington
and narrowly escaped serious accident
with his horse. He mistook the floating
planks of the small bridge for solid foot
ing and drove into the water to cross.
When the animal reached the planks it
plunged into the swollen stream and got
its leg over the shaft. The driver was
forced to jump in water above his waist
and help the horse get untangled.
Near Colora an apple tree IS inches in
diameter was torn out by the roots and
carried over 100 feet. The funnel shaped
cloud was seen by many in this section
and as it swept past immense quantities
of leaves, branches and corn blades drop
ped to the ground
ak Over in Hartford county the heavy
'downpour of rain did, considerable
damage.
Broad Greek and Deer Greek, usually
quiet streams, were suddenly transformed
into raging torrents, the water rising
above the banks and spreading -out in
wide expanse for several miles.
In the vicinity of Pylesville and the
Rocks these streams went on rampage,
with the result that people living in close
proximity were forced to leave their
homes and seek higher ground. driving
their stock before them. At Pylesville
the trestle,pf Maryland and Pennsylvania
Railroad was covered with several inches
of water, and the southbound train from
York for Baltimore was delayed more
than an hour, waiting for the water to
subside before attempting to cross the
bridge At the Rocks. the. water spread
to the public roads, which are several feet
above the banks of Deer Greek, washing
large gullies, and in some places COM,
pletely wiping out the roadbed.
Bridges were carried away in several
places, particularly along the tributaries
of larger streams, while considerable
damage was done to growing crops.

section of the county about nine o'clock
Friday night, doing considerable damage
to growing crops in some places. one of
the sufferers being Jas. M. Tosh whose fine
patch of tomato plants was stripped. The
storm could he heard approaching and for
several minutes before it arrived created
roar similar to large stream flowing
over dam. The hailstones at first were
quite large but as they thickened were
smaller and the storm passed on in a
very few minutes. with but little wind
accompanying it.
