seven persons are known to have been

a farm killed SO head of live stock.
but did no other damage.
Reports indicate that the storm
after doing many thousands of dol
lars worth of damage here passed to
the southeast, wrecking all buildings
in it's path. In Bates county, Missouri,
the northwest section was swept for
five miles and nearly every building
in a track half a mile wide was de-
molished. Here thirteen deaths have
been reported. From Sedalia, Mo-,
two deaths are reported, while ru-
mors, unverified as yet, make the to-
tai much larger.
The storm struck Bates county half
a miles from Merwin. The home of
Henry Cameron was destroyed and his
three children killed. and wind
picked up his baby and it was found
uninjured a mile from nome. Inc
bodies of Gibson and Fred Groves

new RULES FOR
HORSE RAGING
Amendment Does Not Make
a Hit With Some
String Owners.

The amendment to rule H. of tho
racing rules of tho American Trotting
association. under which the races of
the North Dakota circuit will he CON
Quoted. is causing owners OF stables
to sit mp and take notice and to do
considerable talking--not exactly in
favor of the NJ Wregulation.
This amendment provides that in
deciding tho rank Of horses til" win

race. or the winner of three heats in
a threc-in-fivc race. shall be entitled
to first money In deciding the rank

Prominent Men Endorse Ii.
a committee representing the West
ern Association of Fairs is said to
have proposed this amendment to the
rules committee Of tho trotting ASSOC
citation. The Western Association of
Fairs is an organization comprising
the majority of Tho leading state and.
other fairs of the middle west and

argument that has been made hy.

tho endorsements of many prominent
men.
Some Objections.
One Of the principal objections to
the amendment is that it will make
possible carnirals of driving for Sec
ond money Il "Strongarming" in
order to prevent winning heats and
taking ccords.
Some horScmcn aver that tho man
has 40 business on tho turf. who. att
cr his horse has had the bad luck to
finish far hack in Il large field in the
first or n other heat makes any
further effort to set him to the front.
For, he may thereby ruin his horses

series OF supreme efforts, and drive
him a really splendid race. at the end
merely to finish among the also
rams"
Another now ruling of tho .Amcri-
can Irottins association this year is
that horses that have made records

seconds on half mile tracks-th,
smaller track being considered three
seconds slower than tho larger course.
