Special to The Herald.

Regnier, Colo. Aug. 5-Last
evening the storm demon, so
long held in check in this part of
the county, burst asunder his
chains and shackles and vented
his pent up wrath upon us, in the
most violent and destructive hail
and rain storms in the memory
of the Oldest inhabitants.
Without the usual prenuncia-
tory bluster of an approaching
storm, hail of prodigious size
began pelting the roofs of houses
with blows equal in sound to the
blows of many heavy hammers;
this was soon followed by an
intermingling rain The great
balls Of ice raising pyramids of
water and mud as they fell upon
the ground, To one indoors this
all looked very beautiful, but
bear in mind that ones concep-
ton of the beautiful is largely
dependent upon ones environ
ments.
The hail and rain continued to
fall for about half an hour, and
fortunately without much wind.
When we could get out to in
vestigate we found greater dam
age had been done than was
anticipated. On the Shan
non ranch 1000 or more bushels
of apples had been knocked off
the trees, full grown horse had
been knocked senseless, entire
broods of chickens had been kill
ed and the garden ruined. On
the Regnier ranch the garden
was annihilated and the small
orchard, heavily laden with
peaches, was almost wholly de-
vastated, at least 80 per cent of
the fruit having been beaten off.
lon the w. 8. Hughes ranch
holes several inches in diameter
were. made in the roofs of build
ings. On the Schneider ranch
(the old Welch ranch). great
damage was done to the alfalfa
crop, just ready to cut for seed.
At the Schroeder ranch most of
the chickens were killed. At the
w. T. Hughes ranch much dam
age is reported to have been done
estimated at $4,000, resulting
from the killing of calves, pigs
and chickens, and damage to a
seed crop of alfalfa that had just
been cut and yet lying upon the
ground. At the Brookhart ranch
about two thirds of the fruit was
destroyed; all these disasters ana
losses were occasioned by the
hail, alone, except as to the HUI
ghes seed crop, which was swept
away in the flood following the
storm.
l However, our troubles did not
end here; shortly after the storm
ceased another element of de-
struction swept down upon US.
Heavy rains having fallen at the
heads of the canons the usually
mild and placid Gallinas creek

'' At Rest.

Mrs. Charlotte Catherine Milli-
gan. wife of DR.. Thos. F. Milli-
gan, died Monday. Aug. Z, 1911
at II p. M, after an illness of
two weeks duration.
Charlotte Catherine Drink
water was born March 20, l845,
near Brownstown, Indiana; she
was united in marriage to DR.. T.
F. Milligan, Dec. rs, 1879. To
this union was BORN two sons,
DIR. Chas. Fletcher, who is a
prominent physician in this Co.,
and Thomas McKindree of Great
Bend, Kans. In February 1887
DR.. and Mrs. Milligan and their
two sons came to Baca County
and took a homestead near Bos-
ton where they have resided ever
since. They endured many hard
ships together, which are Incl
dent to pioneer life. And the
loving spirit of this kindly wom-
an has been known and felt by
nearly every family in the Co.
Mrs. Milligan was loved by all
who knew her, and her memory
will long remain, for her beauti-
full character and kindly deeds.
Mrs. Milligan identified herself
with the M. E. Church in early
life, and was an earnest and con-
sistent Christian, always trying
to better the condition Of those
with whom she came in contact.
/! Many lives have been frightened
by the words of cheer and kind
ness which she gave them. She
was a woman who believed in
giving flowers to the living and
not reserving the kind word and
the kind deed for the dead, and
her home was open to all.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the residence by her
pastor, Rev. Orman C. King,
Wednesday, Aug. 9, 1911, at 2
p. m. the interment was made
in Boston cemetery, where many
sorrowing friends came to shed a
parting tear for the dear one
gone beyond. She was a good
wife and a loving mother-one
whose place cannot be filled.
But may we one day meet again
in that land of joy and rest.

That death is a beginning, not an end,

HOmesteads.

When an entryman had made
a former homestead entry of less
than 160 acres for which he ac-
quired title, he was not qualified
to make an entry under the re-
clamation act.
The act of March 2, 1889 (25
Stats. 854) has no application to
entries under the reclamation
act, and the additional right
granted in said act of March 2,
1889. cannot be exercised by
entry within a reclamation pro-
ject. Citing instructions, June
16. 1909. (3S L. D. 5s.)
When claimant made entry
for a technical quarter section of
land, and after five years resi-
dence thereon obtained title
thereto, he exhausted his right.
The fact that the land patent
ed lacked a little more than two
acres of making 100 acres did
not give him the status Of a quail
fed homestead entrymah or the
right to enter under the enlarged
homestead act, an additional 800
acres.
Extenuating circumstances in
favor of entryman will not justi-
fly the Department charged with
the duty of disposing of the pub
lie lands in the manner provided
by law, to dispose of them con-
trary to the express provisions
of that law. Clark & Wright,
