$4,000 LOSS BY HAIL
THREE HUNDRED ExcURIoNlsTS
STALLED TEN HOURS.
Principal Damage Done at Colorado
Springs, Where Churches Are
Chief Sufferers.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Colorado Springs.-Damage estimat
ed at $4,000 was caused here Sunday
when heavy hail storm. sweeping
east from the mountains, paralyzed
street traffic, broke windows and sky
lights and wrecked the street lighting
system of the city. The hail followed
heavy rains throughout the day. Sc
heavy was the fall that automobile
tops were broken through, street cars
were forced to halt and great plate
glass windows in stores were demol
ished. Every pane of glass in many
lamp posts were broken into frag-
ments, making a loss to the electric
light company of more than $4,000.
Skylights crashed in from the weight
of the hail. Every greenhouse in the
city was demolished.
All the churches of the city suf-
tered heavily, valuable stained glass
windows being broken. Hidden Inn,
recently opened by the city in the
Garden of the Gods, was flooded with
water and the furnishings damaged.
At Ramona, just north of here, the
loss is placed at $4,000. Costly sky
lights of colored glass in several sa-
looms were broken through and in one
cafe the downpour broke large mir
ror behind the bar.
In many places the hail was more
than six inches deep and the hail
stones were as large as pigeons
egg. The Ute Pass road between Colo
RADIO Springs and Cripple Creek was
completely washed out in certain Sec
tions by the torrents of water from
the melting hail Boulders were rolled
along in the flood like chips.
The Wildflower Special train on
the Colorado & Southern, with 800
tourists aboard. was stalled for ten
hours in Ute Pass because of wash
out.
A train on the Cripple Creek Short
Line was reported to have taken
refuge in tunnel until the force of
the storm was spent.

Washington, July 20.-Mexico City
Is again threatened with attack and
the Carranza forces under General
Gonzales who drove the Zapata army
from the capital ten days ago, have
marched hurriedly northward to en-
gage an advancing Villa column be-
lieved to be planning a junction with
the Zapata troops now menacing COM
munication with Vera Cruz. State De-
partment dispatches announced that
General Gonzales with most of his
army had evacuated Mexico City, turn
ing the government over to the civil
authorities.
This was just preceded by advice
that Gen. Villas flying column, which
circled Obregon's forces after the bat
tie of Aguas Calientes and captured
Queretaro, had taken possession of Pa
chuca, within forty miles Of Mexico
City, and was marching on;the capital.
simultaneously with the latter report
came the news that Gen. Carranza had
taken possession of the reconstructed
railroad east of Apizaca, junction
point south of Pachuca, and had or
dered that it be held exclusively for
transportation of troops and ammunt-
milton, thus preventing further ship
ment of provisions from Vera Cruz to
the needy thousands at Mexico City.
Officials here made no effort to con-
ceal their belief that the situation sur
rounding the Mexican capital was a
grave one. With another battle for
possession of the city imminent, and
with much-needed food shipments from
the east coast cut off, it was feared
that further suffering among the civil
population would follow.
Gen. Gonzales sudden evacuation OF
the city in an effort to head off the
invading Villa forces, together with
Carranza's action in closing the rail-
road to freight and passenger traffic,
it is feared here, will make further
relief work at the capital practically
impossible.
Notwithstanding Gen. Gonzales as.
sertion that military force was left
behind at Mexico City, officials here
were inclined to doubt that it was sui.
ficient to prevent trouble or to main.
tain order in the capital.
Pachuca is on the direct line Of rail
road between Queretaro and Mexico
City, though east of the former city
and northeast of the capital. Villas
column is reported to number 10000
men, led by Generals Fierro, Natero
and Reyes.
Carranza Takes Sonora.
Naco, Ariz.-Carranza forces occu.
pied Naco, Sonora, Monday after a
brief skirmish with the Villa garrison
in which four of the defenders were
wounded and eleven prisoners taken.
The prisoners later were released and
sent across the border to the Amer.
lean side. American residents were
unmolested.

STORMS CAUSE HEAVY LOSS
Telephone Lines Firat to Suffer From Fad Weather and First to

Little Rock.--'That sleet and wind storms cost the telephone companies millions of dollars every year was stated recently by $ A.

does well where moisture is abund- ant, and also where drouth prevails though under drouth it makes it's best growth under cultivation-in cultivat- ed rows. It is not particular in re- gard to kind of soil. Any reasonably good soil will produce a good yield of this hay.
 Time and Method of Seeding.
 Sudan grass may be sowed in April. May or June, either broadcast or in rows Of 212 to 5 feet apart Broad cast seeding requires 15 to 20 pounds per acre, while row planting requires only two to four pounds per acre. Pre- pare land as for any other crops and have ground smooth and as level as possible. Peas or soy beans may be mixed with sudan grass to make hay.
 Yield and Quality.
 The yield of this grass is high Nearly five tons per acre have been obtained where conditions favored, and it rarely ever falls as low as one ton per acre of cured hay. Analyses have not yet been made or, at least. reported, but it has proved palatable and probably has about the same feed. Ing value as Johnson grass or a little better as it is more leafy. It is use- tul as soiling crop for feeding dairy COWS.
