LAST EVENINGS STORM
HIGH WIND, LITTLE RAIN IN
MADISON-TERRIFIC HAIL
STORM AT ELROD.

A heavy wind storm, accompanied
by rain. prevailed in this city from 8
to 10 O'Clock last evening. The rain
fall was not great and no damage by
the wind is reported, The rolling
and bending of the trees which are
unusually heavily laden with foliage,
was a beautifully. wild, grand sight.
The wind came from the northwest,
and it was apparent that the heavi-
est of the wind was high up in the
sky, producing a distinct roaring
noise like rumbling thunder.
Conductor Hooval of the north
line reports the storm prevailing
more or less all along the line to
Bristol, at some points heavy rain
fall, others light. At Elrod and east
toward WATERFOWL a terrific hail
storm prevailed, Mr.. Hooval describ-
ing the hailstones of immense size,
and he estimates that much damage
resulted from the icy missiles. At
Bristol, Mr.. Hooval states, there was
a quiet two hours r%ainstorm, free
from wind or hail.
Conductor Lawler of the west line
reports about the same condition of
wind as prevailed here all along the
line to Washington Springs, but a
much heavier rainfall. Mr.. Lawler
states that fields all along the line
are flooded with water, and it is his
opinion that much damage will re.
suit to the planted and growing
Icrops.

SALOON
Fight Again I'm Court-ActiOn II
Prevent Issuance of Licenses.


Action has again been started by
the dry element in the town OF
Wentworth to prevent the issuance of
saloon licenses In that community
during the coming year by the secur-
ing of an alternative writ of prohibit
ton. The action Is the second one
taken in Wentworth this year to keep
saloons out of the town. 1t is brought
under chapter 254 of the laws of
1913.
1t is contended by the "drys" that
the petition for the submission of the
saloon license question to the voters
was not signed in compliance with
the law, in that several of the sign
ers were not qualified to sign such a
petition.
1t is claimed that four of the Is
signers are not freeholders as defined
by chapter 264, owning full interest
in lots of regulation size. 1t is claim
ed that one of the signers has not
been a legal voter Of the community
for the required period of u year.
The first action was started before
the spring election on April 21 to
prevent voting on the question. Judge
Jones decided to let the matter be
submitted, announcing that 1t would
be better for the dry" element to
start an action after election III il so
desired.
