Anoroaching dangerously near a tor-1 resting si'.rgly
nado in violence uprooting small trees
lifting houses from their foundations
the fiercest storm of the season swept
over this section last night.
In the city the greatest damage was
done in the south part of town where
ii Is said the disturbance assumed al-
most the form of a twister a number
of large structures being removed from
their moorings.
S. II. Bvown's house at Third and
Washington was badly damaged be-
ing lifted from its foundation and
turned around. It had been raised
about four feet several days ago for
the purpore of grading the yard and
when the storm struck It came down
with aierific crash that upset nearly
everything in the house. Mrs. Brown
was hurV-d against a stove but was
not seriously Injured.
At Fifth and Washington avenue
a barn 12 by SO feet was ;icked up
and carried 50 feet. It was ured by
A. A. Zinti and Mr. Nichols and con-
tained among other things several
coops of chickens. Curiously enough
although the- Vtrn had beeu carried
bodily t'.vay the chickens were found
in their coops

Among the houses n oved Off their
foundations were the Baptist mission
church on South Fourth s'reet; resi-
dence of C. M. He i ris on So.ith Fo . th
street a six room house on Soutn
Third street; residence of E. II. Man-
ier Seventh and Tennessee; residence
of A. O. SmithSixth tind Ark.
Mart Louthan's house was struck by
lightning but fortunately there was no
one in the room where it entered; mak-
ing a bole through the wall as big as
a man's two fists scattering plaster
Guthrie May 4. The senate last
week passed 21 hills on third re.tding.
The house finally disposed of about
that number. Both industriously delv
ed into the pending bills of the other
with the result that there are dozen
that will be sent to the governor as
fast as they can be turned out by the
engrossing commit lee.
Governor Haskell has signed these
bills: By Representative Ben Wilson
of Canadian county nwking it compul
sory upon cotton ginners to brand each
bale; by Senator Hatchett requiring!
which courts to accept first mortgages on real
estate up to fifty per cent of value as
bonds; by Senator Brownlee requiring
fire escapes of public buildings school
houses hotels lodging houses etc. of
three stories or more; by Senator Hen-
ry Johnson fixing the venue of civil
cases; by Kepresentative wrntenurst
creating the positions and naming the
salaries of the assistants to the state
officers.
One of the most Important bills pass-
ed up to the governor is that of the
general appropriations committe car-
rying a total of $425294.95 not in-
cluding the salaries for the manual la-
ing all over the room the electric fluid

and finding all safe and sound didn't

ferred with the appropriation commit

jsumatlon of the long-drawn-out affair.

LEASE GETS
A PAROOi!
L. E. Lease the Fort Sil soldier Is
at last a free man after Laving served
five months of his year sentence.
Governor Haskell granted him a
full pardon 'Saturday on condition that
he go at once to his aged parents in
Pennsylvania .and remain with them
during the rest of the period which
he should have served in prison.
Sheriff Louthan and J. S. Askew
made a pica lor Lease to the governor
Saturday and the sheriff brought home
the pardon to the great joy of the
house was the result of a demand by
lawyers in the state for such a law.
The rather sudden disposition of the
Cope state printery bill in the house
ws not foreseen early in the week.
It was called up and with little debate
adopted as a result of the scandal
occasioned by the exposure of the two
Guthrie newspaper establishments who
have had charge of the printing for
the state and territorial legislatures.
The author Insists that ihe senate will
never accept the provision in the bill
locating" the printing estbllshment at
Enid fulfilling the cherished
scheme of the Garfield county metrop-
olis. Senator Goulding takes a differ-
ent view of the matter claiming to
have enough votes already pledged to
secures the retention of this particu-
lar clause.
Inu the way of public buildings the
house committee bill creating three
state normals schools in the east slda
of the state the bill by Senator Stew-
art establishing .a girls' industrial
school an insane asylum and th
McElhiney state penitentiary bill and
the Stivers school of mines bill have
beeu passed by both houses.
The bill by Representative Williams
and Senators Franklin Wynne and Lit-
tle providing for the state text book:
commission to select a uniform system
for the schools of the state has gone
through both branches as has th
house measure establishing separate
schools.
One republican bill by Representa-
tive Evans of Grant and Alfalfa coun-
ties has gone the route. It provides
for norma institutes.
These house bill have also been ac-
cepted by the senate with various
amendments: By O'Neal and Skeen
regulating the fees of constables and
justices of the peace; by Murdoch
permitting cities towns and villages
to build sidewalks by special assess-
ment. On at least one of the measures
the first named there will be a fight in
the house on the ground that tha
senate .amendments have rendered ic
unconstitutional by embracing two sub-
jects under one head.
Among the important measures pass-
ed on third reading in the senate are
these: By Stewart providing for tha
organization of public cotton ware-
houses; by Hatchett providing the
method and time of selecting the cheit
justice of the supreme court; by Rus-
sell .authorizing the board of agri-
culture to establish demonstration
farms; by Taylor providing for tha
publication and distribution of the
