A TWISTING WIND
VISITED KANSAS
From Eskridg to Leavenworth Towns
Were Struck.
SEVERAL WERE PERSONS KILLED
Wherever the Funnel Shaped Cloud
Touched the Earth it Created
Wreckage and Carried
Death.

Topeka, April ia day OF sultrI.
ness and wind that blew straight
ahead with great velocity gave rise
to a tornado in central Kansas. The
storm started near Eskridge in
Wabaunsee county, about 25 miles
southwest of Topeka, and travelled in
Il northeasterly direction. It was the
old fashioned twisting wind and the
funnel shaped cloud and wherever L
dipped down to earth houses, barns,
live stock-eyerything in its path
was caught up and dashed 10 the
earth again.
At Eskridge First.
Besides Eskridge, &etawka and
Whiting in Jackson county. PoWhat-
tan and Robinson in Brown county
and other smaller towns were partly
wrecked Two persons were killed
and upwards of 80 injured in this
stretch of country
Lawrence caught part of the force
of the storm. There two persons were
killed and much damage was done.
Telegraph poles and wires were
blown down and reports of the dam
age came over telephone wires that
worked badly.
The storm struck Eskridge about 4
o'clock The high school building, a
2-story brick structure, was blown
down and 20 pupils injured.
George NJ. Scott, an Atehison, To-
peka & Santa Fe engineer, who was
in Eskridge at the time of the storm.
says at least Is houses we're blown
down
After he left Eskndge, Sect said,
he could see the tornado sweeping
across the country for distance OF
ten miles, overturning houses, barns
and sheds in its path. He heard Of
no one being killed in Eskridge.
Fireman Blown From Cab.
Benjamin Resch, a fireman in
Scott's engine, was blown out of the
caab window and hurled across the
street. The only injury he sustained
was a slight cut on his head.
The only damage caused by the
storm in Topeka was to plate glass
windows in store buildings. Five win
doWs in the business section were
wrecked, but no one was injured.

Horton, Wan, April ia storm
that dipped down on farms and
villages and at times blew with the
twisting peculiarities of a tornado
passed over northern Jackson county
and through Brown county in north
eastern Kansas. A little girl who had
sought refuge in a school house that
was destroyed was killed, another is
reported dead and many persons were
injured. The homes of many farmers
are gone, livestock lies dead along
the storms path and hundreds OF
barns between here and White Cloud
in the northwest part of Doniphan

n r. difficult 70 calculate the extent

said that 1t amounted to nearly 20

from the truth. During my career on

time.
One OF the hardest bits OF luck that

flag at that time. occurred IN a game
between Baltimore and Philadelphia IN
1875. when we were fighting every inch
or the way. We had played for twelve
Innings without either team being able
- take a lead. II 7 remember rightly
the score was two and two.
In the thirteenth inning Baltimore
came to bal and the first two men
reached FIRST safely. a sacrifice . hit
moved the two runners up and the
next man got a base on balls. That
filed the bases. with only one out. and
as we only needed one run TO win II
looked pretty certain that Reltz would

winning run.

We thought we had An excellent

pur heavy batters were coming up. But
they never got the charce The crowd
was a large one for Olean and the
stands could not hold all the spec

along the foul line, and when Egan
came to bat for Bradford the umpire
had 10 get the crowd of the foul line

There was n w~ell-known character
IN the town who was q great friend OF

arrangement can be made. The Dart mouth match has come to be such an important one for Harvard that it is doubtful if the crimson would schedule even if Dartmouth would consent to the change.
 Yale has fallen short of the cham pionship so seldom that the lack of a contest between Princeton and liar ward has not handicapped the experts engaged in lining up title claimants but there have been times when such toward dispelling all doubt.
 At any rate Harvard alumni will be happy people this week. Prince ton never has been quite as anxious as Harvard that the breach between the two should be bridged. The they could down the crimson on any and all occasions, and with a record showing eleven victories against three defeats to look back to, have not felt the necessity for opening another ser ieS.
 Harvard has turned out such uni formly strong teams the past few years that Cambridge has had differ ent feelings in the matter. The crin- son was actuated in it's negotiations with the Tigers more by a desire to wipe out the old scores than because the coaches felt the team would need such a game as Princeton would play to fit it for the Yale tussle.
 Neither will play as good game when they get together next Saturday as they would if pumping later in the month. Both the coaches are aim ing to work their teams up to Yale form slowly and by gradual stages. It is years since a Harvard team has been so far behind it's ultimate de- velopments as this falls squad, though at the opening of the training season it was admitted everywhere that in material at least Harvard was bet ter equipped than any other team in the east.
 Conditions are such at Cambridge and in Boston that the outsider can seldom obtain a reliable line on the team. When the team promises to be good all Boston goes into ecstasies of delight; few teams. have been as highly overrated as many Harvard elevens have. When it falls below the average excuses are found for it. Either way those who must rely upon published reports of the. teams pro- gress for their data are, pretty we'll up against it.
 This year Harvard started out with a squad that looked to be the best in the east. A few linemen had been lost by graduation, but the backfield figured better. on paper. than any, thing Yale, Princeton or Pennsylvania could show. A sufficient number of veteran linemen remained to make the line outlook anything but gloomy.

WILLIE LEWIS DEFEATS
 JEFF D0HERTY HANDILY
Local Fight Fans Go to New Haven to See Slashing
 Bout
cNew Haven Journal-Courie.) )


 Before a large and enthusiastic bled at the Casino last night to wit ness the Edgewood Athletic club bouts Willie Lewis, Hate of Paris" and claimant of the worlds welterweight title, cleverly outfought Jeff Doherty the local pugilistic favorite, and came out of the fifteen round affray vic- tor after a great fight. Doherty the loser, was by no means discredited In fact he fought the greatest bat tie of his long career, and only the superior "fnesse'' of the New York mi-aggressive tactics of the game New Haven gladiator. The crowd en- unused madly throughout the perform ance, over the exhibition of high class pugilistic skill given by the two and, from this standpoint it is doubtful whether any contest in these diggings ever surpassed last nights bout in that particular.
 Taking his punishment with com pressed lips, blood streaming from cuts around both eyes, and his nose a target for punches which rocked his head, staggered him and drove him to the ropes, Doherty, smashed some of the honors, but foiled the "Parisian Idol' in the latter's att tempt to finish the local boy before the limit had been reached. In three Lewis with determination. showed some of his old time clever ness, in a big effort to knock Doher- ty out. Jeff was game. He fought to the last, then, forced to bow to science, and terrible punishment, he clinched: clinched and stalled and hit back, when he could, until the gong at the end of the fifteenth round an that he had gone the limit with Willie Lewis, the man who as- pires the worlds welterweight cham pionship.
