Two Killed, Five Hurt,
In California Storm

THERMAL Cal, July l6.-Two men
were killed, five severely injured, many
other persons suffered minor injuries,
and much property damage done by a
terrific wind storm, approaching tor
nado in violence, which struck El Cen
tro, county seat of Imperial county,
Cal, last evening.
All the telegraph and telephone wires
in Imperial county were blown down,
and only meager details Of the storm
could be learned this morning.
The storm came without warning, and
houses of light construction were
whirled away, and some Of the stronger
structures badly wrecked. Leslie Novak
and S. Sundey were crushed to death
when the Hamilton Hardware building
was blown down.
The wind storm disappeared as quick
ly as ii came. Communication was cut
on between Yuma, Brawley, HoltVille,
CaleXico, and other points in that re-
gion, and it is not known YET whether
there was any loss Of life or property.

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.

ANACOSIlA, u. IL JULY To-
What threatened to be a disastrous
runaway was averted by prompt action
by Policeman J. L. elliott, of the
mounted force, in Congress Heights
last evening. A horse attached to one
of Holmes bread wagons took fright
at the passing automobile OF w. W.
Price, and ran away, while the driver
was in a store in Nichols avenue. The
street was crowded with pedestrians
and vehicles at the time. The fright
ened animal overturned the wagon as
he dashed along, damaging the vehicle
to the extent of $35. At this juncture
Policeman elliott overlook the horse
and stopped him.
William E. Shelton, who has been at
tached to No. 10 Fire Engine Company,
in Anacostia, for several years as an
assistant driver, has been transferred to
No. 2 Fire Engine Company, in Bright

position of driver in that company. His
place in the Anacostia company has
6een hlled by the promotion Of A. c.

Variable Weather News.

OF course, the crop outcome is still to
be determined. The weather reports of
the week have been highly contradic-
tory. Low temperature, accompanied
by rain, has been reported in the North
western wheat district, but, on the
other hand, there appears to be a de-
cided deficiency in moisture in the corn
belt. 1t Is exceedingly difficult, II not
wholly impossible. TO arrive at a definite
opinion on the harvests in view of the
wide divergence of unofficial reports,
colored. as they are, 10 suit speculative
markets. If the course of commodity
prices determines anything, however, It
would appear that the weather condi-
tions of the week had been favorable to
cotton and wheat, and rather unfavor-
able to corn, for the former have re-
acted, while corn held firm and ad-
vanced.

the month, the bookings for the Steel

This arrangement which is better
for the miner and prospector than
the terms offered by the United
States Government on the public
domain, is without parallel in the
history Of mining and is copyright
ed.
By reason OF this specially adj
vantagous arrangement, which
canpot be duplicated elsewhere,
the Mineral resources of Colfax
Couety will experience a more rap
id Development than those of any
other mining district known.
Cimarron lies between the, gold
mining district and the great Col
fax county coal fields. The ore
and the coke both come down hill
to Cimarron and the haul is short,
neither can go around and neither
can be hauled by Cimarron with
out going up hill. AT Cimarron
then, are soon to be the smelters,
reduction words, assay Offices and
the headquarters Of the mining
companies.
There is gold enough to make it

On one side OF Cimarron are

On another side is almost an
exhaustible supply of gold, silver,

side is coke and lime enough to
smelt all the ores and make the
iron into steel.
Besides the resources to make a

With all these resources one
could only imagine one other ad-
vantage that could be asked for,
vtz: Trans-continental railroad
facilities. Here again Cimarron
comes forward with the palm, for
she lies at the entrance to the Taos
pass, the best and shortest and
easiest pass through the Rocky
Mountains. The St. Louis, Rocky
Mountain & Pacific is part way
over the Pass now, and its lire to
the Pacific coast, as surveyed, is
the best, shortest and most direct
line that can be built. 1t is we'll
known that there is no coal worth
mentioning on the western slope.
The Coliax county coal fields lying
at the very foot of the Taos pass,
are being developed to supply the
Pacific coast market and the St.
Louis, Rocky Mountain & Pacific
railroad is being built to afford
means of transportation. This
coal traffic alone will be tremend-
Gus, but not only the coal traffic,

the situation will find it difficult to
understand why the Cimarron Val

apples from his orchard, Mr.. Chase
won a gold medal at the Colum-

and has won prizes at almost every
large exposition since.
The Springer, the Lacurna, the
Webster, the Cunningham, and
and other orchards have given
equally good results in apples and
apples and have also made q splen-
did showing in other fruits. Col

will become the equal Of any fruit
lands in the west. An investment
in these fruit lands at this time
offers exceptional advantages for
large returns.

Fruit growing is thoroughly es-
tablished in Colisx county as an
industry which has already proven
successful in financial returns, and
which has a great future. Apple
culture has been followed success
fully for forty years. In the fam
Gus Chase orchards near Cimar-

900 boxes of merchantsble ap-
pies, approximately "a car loads,

SACRAMENTO, July 1S.-The
details of an army tragedy of the
Philippines were revived here re-
Gently when 1t became known that
Madelina McKissick-Br an
ney had been quietly married to
Lieut.. Col. Robert F. Ames of the
regular army.
Eleven years ago, Mrs. Ames,
who was then Madaline McKis-
sick, daughter of the late Judge
McKissick, chief counsel for the
Southern Pacific company, VIZ
married in San francisco to Dr.
Pedar Bruguiere. Both Brugiere
and Miss McKissick were socially
prominent.
1t was thought to be a love
match. But during 1903 the Bru-
guieres separated and Mrs. Bru-
guiere obtained a divorce.
In 1905 Mrs. Brugiere went to
New York. She met Second Lieu
tenant Clarence w. Janney of the
army. Janney was a member of
