Waterspout disaster near Benpurin causes deaths and damage
Reports say a waterspout burst over Jacob's Creek fourteen miles southwest of Benpurin near Eraperia Kar Exrouts Rav. Jacob's family escaped in a wagon before floodwaters swept away the wife and youngest child. Charles Jacobs saved himself and the other child by clinging to a tree. The drowned man's body and Mrs Jacobs remain missing as a search continues. The storm also damaged property and a Santa Fe passenger train window was broken by hail.

Gill seeks to donate Santa Anna’s cork leg to the state collection, pending the governor’s acceptance.

How to Destroy Grubs in Cattle Warbles on Back
An American man recommends using a small glass syringe and sweet oil to treat grubs in cattle. Inject the oil into each grub hole at the apex of the mounds on the cow's back to draw out the grubs without harming the animal. He warns kerosene oil is too irritating for the sore areas and endorses sweet oil as equally deadly to the pests.
