Httla wind and the hail stones came
pouring down almost. straight for few
moments, a little before noon Sunday
the hail stones were smaller but the storm

washed down through caves, troughs and
spouts bushels of it Were heaped up to-
gethcr In many places it had not melted
at night. Mrs. Erwin Sparks found plenty
with which to freeze ice cream Monday.

or strips, and varied greatly within a short
distance. In the parish little damage was
done. Saturday, on Stratton hill, men at
work watched the storm in the valley and
had no more than sprinkle where they
were.

passenger on the Chicago street cars,
except between $50 and 9 a. M. and
Ais and 6:45 p. m, may prove fiz-
zIe. While the action of the commits
sion is meant all right, States Atty
Hoyne and Glen Plum, special assist
ant to Hoyne, claim that it may take
years of jockeying around in the
courts before it can be carried out.
These men say that the Chicago

not responsible, is merely a manag-

which the public utilities commission
could sue in an attempt to force the

The order also calls for increase in
