HAILSTONES BREAK
WOMAN'S ARM
PAXTON PARS0N HAD FINGERS
FRACTURED BY THEM.
PEOPLE CRAWLED UNDER BED
Some of Them Were Three Inches in
Diametsr-Were All Sorts of
Shapes-Penetrated Roof and
Drove Family Under Bed.

Hopkinsville, Ky.-Heavy loss was
hused by a hail and wind storm which
passed over the northern section of this
county. The Warrington neighborhood
suffered the brunt of the damage.
Storehouses and dwellings at Manning
ton were penetrated by the enormous
hailstones that fell there, measuring as
high as three inches in diameter and
nine inches long, and being all sorts of
shapes. In the home of John Long the
family crawled under the beds to escape
hailstones that came through the roof
and ceiling. Gigantic hailstones struck
Genie Childress on the right arm, break
ing the bone. Payton Parson had some
of his fingers fractured in the same
manner. A number of calves and hogs
were killed by being struck on the head.
Crops and gardens were almost ruined.
A terrific wind accompanied the hail and
wrought much damage by unroofng
houses, blowing fences away and de-
stroying timber. Lightning added to the
loss by striking many trees.
The storms path was about half a
mile wide and possibly five miles long,
but the center of its destructive power
was at Warrington and immediate
vicinity.

GOMEZ ASKS TAFT
NOT TO INTERVENE
AT SAME TIME THANKS u. S. FOR
SENDING GUNBOAT.
CLAIMS REVOLT IN CONTROL
Cuban Government Needs Only Sufficient
Time in Which to Crush the Racial
Revolt in Southern Part of
Island.

Havana.-President Gomez sent a ca
blegram to President Taft in which he
protests in friendly but firm terms
against intervention by the United
States.
1T is my duty to say that so serious
resolution alarms and hurts the feel
ings of a people who love and are jeal-
GUS of their independence, he says, after
reciting that he had received from United
States Minister Beaupre a note inform-
ing him that the Washington government
had ordered a gunboat to Nipe bay and
strong naval concentration at Key West
in anticipation of possible eyentualities,
and also in event that the Cuban govern
ment was unable to protect American
forces for that purpose.
Il appeal to you," he continues, "as
loyal friend of Cuba, respecting her
rights, that you will be convinced that
this government is capable and suffi-
GENTLY supported by the valor and patri-
otism of the Cuban people to deal prompt
ly with few unfortunate ana misguided
persons without reason or flag.
The Cuban government has expressed
through Minister Beaupre its gratitude
to the United States for sending the Prai-
RE to Guantanamo. The thanks of the
island republic were conveyed in a reply
addressed to Minister Beaupre.
The note declares that "the Cuban
government at present needs only sufi-
cient time in which to crush, as it will
surely crush, the unjustifable racial re-
volt in the southern part of the island,
just as it has put down revolts breaking
out in other provinces where, although
only four days have elapsed, no armed
parties are at large, and confidence is re-
awakening and public tranquility is
growing"

PARDON FOR HEROISM.

Convict Given Liberty For Good Work

Jackson.-Heroism displayed in the

Mills was convicted of murder in
vicksburg six years ago and was sea-
fenced to twenty years Imprisonment.
When convicts were sent to hold back
the swollen Mississippi Mills attracted
attention by his reckless disregard of
peril. He volunteered, even pleaded, for
every task which offered danger, but
always escaped unscathed. On one oc-
casion he swan through a swirling
eddy to carry a life line to boat con-
tanning refugees whose oars had been
swept away.
