LOCAL RAIN FOLLOWS DUST
DOwnpOur Over Part of County
Wind Blows SilO Over

A local downpour followed yes
terday's dust storm and drenched
well part of the county. Little rain
fell in the east and south parts of
the county, only a light shower
reaching Enterprise. There was no
rain at Hope or Elmo. From the
southwest part of the county the
rain belt went north and east to the
county line, from reports coming in
today. A good rain fell around
Buckeye and at Industry. West of
Abilene the fall was fairly good.
About three-fourths of an inch fell
in town. The rain was especially
welcome following the high wind, as
a few days of flying dust would
have seriously injured the wheat.
The large silo on the farm of
Elmer Hoyt, four miles north Of
town, was blown down yesterday.

THE HIGH WIND WAS
HARD ON SOME TREES

The high wind di some damage
over town today. Many limbs were
broken off trees and in several in
stances windows were broken. A
large boxelder tree that has stood
in the parking Of the court house
yard for a long while, was broken
off at the ground today and the
roots for two feet into the ground
pulled up. The three was rotten
at the center and was no loss.
One large branch was broken off
and caught on branch of another
tree and hung there where 1t threat
ened to drop on the heads of people
passing by. A team passing by was
put into service and a rope thrown
OVER the swinging branch and the
horses did the rest.
The glass in a large window in
the Masonic temple was broken by
the wind and the glass sent crashing
to the paving half the length Of the
building north of where the window
is located. Had the glass struck
person the injuries would have
been severe at the least.

Murder BY the Gentle Sex.

In the past three years in Chicago
thirteen women have been tried for
murder and acquitted, while one has
been convicted. Practically all of them
were accused of the murder of their
husbands or sweethearts. These sta
tistics inspired scathing arraignment
of Chicago juries the other day by the
State attorney, who said:
The blame is on the jurors, who
seem ready to bring verdict of
acquittal whenever woman
charged with murder is fairly good
looking or is able to turn on the
food gates of her tears, or exhibit
a capacity for fainting.
| have in mind one case where
woman was charged with muir
der and acquitted late in the after
noon. and that evening her behavior
was anything but that OF an inno-
cent woman who had been within
the shadow OF the penitcntiary or
the gallowS. In company with her
counsel and a relative she passed
the evening carousing in various
saloons on the South Side.
In some of the cases in which
women have been charged with
murder the circumstances surround
ing the death OF the men have been
such as 10 indicate a brutality and
ferocity greater than that displayed
by the worst male criminal.
Surely this is a forceful argumen:
for woman suffrage. With women hav-
ing voice in making laws and women
serving on jurics the country would not
have to witness such a succession OF
on justice as the statement
If the Illinois State attorney would
IMPLY We have faith enough in the
to believe that they would either
;fange the law so that members of thei5
cx would not be liable to the penalty
o. murder, or rs jurors in murder
rials vote for their conviction in spite
If wiles and artihccs or weIi-timed
ainting spells.
