Growth Extraordinary.

E. E. Forester, who is continu-

Of plants on his ranch four miles west

He planted the tobacco July 20.
Mr.. Forester says he only planted

STORM NEAR UTICA, N. Y,
CAUSES THREE DEATHS
Railroads Tied Up. Livestock Lost and
Property Damaged.

Utica, N. Y, June 1.-Three known
dead. much livestock lost, three railroads
tied up and great property loss was the
toll completed tonight Of this section s
greatest rainstorm in % years. Manu-
featuring plants are hard hit and houses
and buildings have been washed from,
their foundations.
The storm started about two o'clock
this morning, ragged for four hours and
most of to-day heavy rain has fallen.
Late this afternoon the downpour ceased
and there is evidence of clear weather.
Two residents of Orskany Falls lost
their lives and a man was drowned at
Oneida when dam went out as he was
standing on it. The most violent phases
of the storm were experienced in Oris-
kany Falls and the vicinity, due to the
going out Of dams at Sosville and the
Fisk and Lyons ponds south of Oriskany
Falls. Horsemen rode ahead of the tor
rent, warning the people in its path tc
flee to higher ground.

FIRE LOSS $4,000
Early Morning Blaze in st. Albana
Proves Disastrous in Short Time
Spreads from Junk Shop to
Grain StOrehOuse.

St. Adams. June 12.-Fire which was
discovered about 2:25 O'Clock this morning
in L. NJ Neiburg's junk shop on Catherine
street and spread to a small building used
by Cunningham & Doubleday as a grain
storehouse caused damage estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000.
When the firemen arrived the junk shop
was a roaring furnace and it was a hard
fire TO fight because of the dense smoke
from the bags of rags. Five lines of hose.
was under control in So minutes. but the
fremen remained on guard for about two
hours.
Cunningham & Doubleday estimate their
loss of about $4,000. although they say
it is impossible at this time to make an
accurate statement regarding the matter.
The loss is fairly well covered by insur-
ance. II is understood that Mr.. Neiburg =
loss is from $500 10 5000. The loss on the
building is covered but there was no insur-
ance on the contents. paper. rags and
other junk.
In the grain storehouse were several
barrels of -four and several hundred bags
of grain of all kinds. These bags were
burned over and wet.
Fortunately other buildings nearby had
tin or slate roofs and that, coupled with
the fact that the buildings were we'll soak
ed by the recent long rain storms doubt
less kept the flames from spreading extern
sively.
Mr. Neiburg states that he was in his
shop at l0:45 O'Clock last night and appar-
entity everything was all right at that
| time.
