Excited Woman Reports Fierce Accident

d UFFALO, N. Y.-The presence OF q
ID large crowd about an automobile
at Main and Carlton streets at $3.50
o'clock the other afternoon was tele-
phoned to police station No. 3 by q
woman.

dent" said she. "There's a man under
the car and he looks to be dead"
Her description aroused Desk Ser
geant Healy.
"Clear the decks for action" roared
he, stepping from the telephone booth.
Send the reserve here quick, Pike!"
Whats up?" asked Pike.
you'll hear me telling the reserves.
Get them on the jump" answered
Healy.
I'D like to be a captain or lieu
tenant for one minute and I'd sit on
you," muttered Pike. But he did as
he was told and rounded up Policemen
Powers and Winters, who stood at at
tention in front of Healy in less than
a minute.
There's a man killed at Main and
Carlton Streets" said Healy, "and get
there as quick as your mortal legs or
a street car will take you"
The two policemen got a street car
at Main and Chippewa streets, 1t be-
ing the quickest means OF locomotion
that is furnished in the third precinct.
Its a tough world" remarked Hea-
ly to Pike. Il suppose that man was
going home to his supper or dinner,
whichever he called It,"
Pike inquired what had killed him
and Healy replied that it was an au-
tomobile.

"All know is that a woman says
he's under the car" said Healy to an
inquiry of Pike for particulars.
Powers and Winters returned to the
station house after the lapse of about
thirty minutes. They were passing on
to the reserve room without even a
glance at Healy.
What did you find, boys?" asked he.
There was a fellow and his car

Healy.

Il don't see that there was much

nor hurt" Healy replied softly. "But
in case the lady called up again I'd
like to be able to tell her all the par
ticulars."

TORNADO KILLS

SASKATCHEWAN
Ten Million DOlIars' Worth Of
Damage Done by Fierce
Wind.
REGINA Quilted BY STORM
Residences, Churches and Public
Buildings Now in
Ruins.

REGINA, Saskatchewan, July L.
Four hundred persons are reported to
have been killed and an estimated total
damage of $l0,0O0,00O was done here
yesterday afternoon by tornado,
which is the worst that has ever struck
the Canadian Northwest.
A ptiful feature in connection with
the awful catastrophe is that the city
was gaily decorated in honor of the
celebration OF Dominion Day and tho
storm swept down upon the hundreds
who were here to attend the festivi-
ties.
Without any warning the tornado
smote the city with a wind that at
times reached tho rate of ninety miles
an hour. 1t moved down buildings in
clean swath for distance of six
blocks through the central business
and residence portion of the city.
Practically nothing in its path es-
capped its fury. Hundreds of residences,
including some of the Oldest and finest
in the city, were leveled in an instant.
Homes of the richest and poorest citi.
zens alike fell in the wake of the
storms fury.
Three of the finest churches of the
city were wrecked and many persons
who had just left the edifices after the
usual Sunday services had narrow es-
| a0n
debris.
Several business houses were
wrecked, some only partially, but many
completely. Six grain elevators were
demolished and innumerable small
frame buildings were carried along in
the wind like kindling wood.
The storm also devastated the retail
district and badly damaged the new
parliament building which had only re-
Gently been completed at great cost.
1t was one of the finest structures in
the city.
The telephone building was badly
demolished and scores of telephone OPP
orators who were at the switchboard
when the storm struck the city hast
ened from the building. So far as can
be ascertained this morning, all es.
capped serious injury.
Many automobiles which were on
streets We're picked up bodily and
carried along for several blocks.
Every vehicle has been pressed into
service to remove the dead to tenn
porary morgues. The hospitals are
filled with the injured and many suf-
ferers are being cared for by friends.
Six hundred families have been
made homeless and the scene of de-
vastation is pitiable, IL will be sew
eral days before the exact total none
tary loss will be known.
After passing over this city the
storm swept on to the northwest
through Saskatchewan, leaving trail
of dead, homeless sufferers and
wrecked homes in it's path of destrue-
ton.

this race the best time ever made by
the Hawaii on a single day was 203
miles but this record was broken on
five different days during the race just
ended. The new record just made for
the yacht is 225 miles. On the other
four days when the old record was
beaten, 205 miles were made, 211, 221
and 2Os miles.
Members of the Hawaii declare
great credit is due to Captain Stroud
for the remarkable way in which he
handled the race, also to First Officer
r.. G.. Center and Second Officer r. f.
Fredericks. All were untiring in their
efforts to crowd on every bit of sail
the yacht could carry during the en-
tire trip.
Watches We're divided into four
hours each, with no dog watches as
the other yachts established. Many a
time on night watches Officer Freder-
icks displayed great seamanship by GO
ing along and resetting topsail sheets
which had carried away. This re-
quired considerable work during the
race. One half inch flexible wire cables
were used for square topsail sheets.

tain Stroud in navigation and al

this work he is said to have displayed
