Tow McNenl In the Mull Hurt Hi A stranger scrolling along the street of a Kansas town concluded he would try an A wagon was standing near the sidewalk and the stranger walked over to it; shook one of the wheels t7 'the vehicle and examined it with great care, but did not say a word.

A man coming along the street noticed the action of he stranger, stopped and then stepped out and looked the wheel over with care. Two men coming along the walk from the opposite direction, noticed two men examining the wagon wheel and stopped, Then they, both came over and. began to examine the wheel for themselves. Half a dozen men over on the opposite corner saw the four men looking at the wagqn and the six of. them came ver see whtit was the mat ter.

All of thefti; crowded in, shook the wheel and made a critical examination of each spoke as well as the felloe and tire. A crowd, at the corner a block, away seeing the increasing crowd about the wagon came on the run to see what was up. In four minutes the, street was so crowded that a farmer whd, had come in, with a load of corn couldn't get through. The stranger hi this time hud slipped out but the crowd continued to gather. One man was' jammed up against the wagon "Urttil two of his ribs were cracked and-' av man who had heart trouble had a fainting spell in the center of the crowd.

And the stranger, who had started the whole business standing at a distance chuckled softly to himself as he muttered: "It is. curious how many blamed fools there are in the world who haven't any idea of what they are looking for. The average man is always ready to run. after a crowd whether lie has tte slightest idea as to what he is running for or not.

When the game was over the. score The following concerning the hail storm near Hope last Friday evening was sent in to the Abilene Reflector: Hope, June 8. The storm last night was-severe in the south part of the county. There was a high wind and in some sections much hail fell. The severest portion of the storm commenced at the Higgins ranch, a mile south of town and over a strip three miles wide north and south and about live miles east and west great damage was done.

The hail stones fell, as large as a man's list and. beat the wheat and growing crops into the ground past alliresurrection. Hedges and trees were stripped of foliage and every window in its course was smashed. Even this morning hail stones remained, on the ground as large as hen's eggs. -Among the sufferers were Commissioner Fry, Mr.Hostetter and others.

It was the worst hail storm ever known in this part of the county. No one was hurt and no cattle reported killed but the farmers in the storm's path have lost all their crops. Northeast of Hope in the vicinity of Clarence Taylor's there was a high wind and wheat was badly broken down, though much of this will recover. Many trees were, broken but very little hail fell.
