Our gallant old ex.Sheriff, Mr..
Altheus Montgomery together with
Mr.. John Dillon, Of DeSoto, and
our "Jeemes," our valient deputy
Sheriff. came in on Thursday with
Thornhill and Fields locked together.
These are the parties whom 1t 10
said stole Mr.. Michael Morris horse
and mule. The parties were lodged
in Jail to await their preliminary ex'
animation.
Since the above was in type, the |
parties, Thornhill and Fields were
taken out Of jail, It is said, by crowd
OF armed men on Thursday night,
and on Friday morning their bodies
were found about q half mile below
town, both having been shot through
the head. A Coroner's Jury Was en-
panneled but failed to ascertain who
did the killing, and rendered q ver.
dict In accordance.
A TERRIFIC SToRx.-We are told.
that on Monday evening about Z
n. M. q cyclone passed through the
Western and Northern portion OF the
parish doing q great deal OF damage.
Scarcely a house was left standing
on Mr.. Joe and Mac Armstrong;
places, two mules belonging to the
former we're killed, and one man on
Mr.. Mac Armstrong; place Was KILL
ed outright. We have not been able
| to get the particulars Of the DANA
Qes and losses sustained by those
Gentlemen, nor have We heare what
other damage has been done In that
unfortunate neighborbhood. We
hope, however, nothing else serious
was done.
Since writing the above We have
seen DR.. Arlington from the upper
portion Of the parish, who tells us
that he. together with Mr.. Baily
Lout. were In the house with the
widow Trammel and her family,
when tho wind literally twisted and
lifted it from off the stills and piled
people. logs and furniture In one
con9lomerated heap. Strange to say.
no one in the house sustained any
serious iujuy.
The cyclone was confined to 9 STRIP
Of country not more than half q
mile vide but over this narrow strip
il spread ruin and devastation, as !!
went. Dwellings, barns, fences and
crops we're blOwed TO atone; mer
we're snatched from the ground snd
hurled back with force known OIL!
BY those who have experienced Uni
like.
The adage "that one misfortup!
follows another" has been verified
With us. The news OF the storm ant
it's ruins followed in the trail OF Han
cocks defeat.

MIS-. L. W. Mills, Of CileTeRRs, has
just had an account Of the engagement
Of one Of her old schOoImHtes and cor
respondents, al Clay, n. T., Ms. Mary
T. Potter, until recently pOstmistTess
at that place. She vas celebrated for
possessing the largest and choicest col
lection Of greenhouse plants OF any
amateur in that section, and 1t was just
these that led their possessor into an
interesting romance. Sometime last
spring a gentleman, n newspaper pub
Usher In northern Arizona, advertised
for an opportunity 10 exchange a GER
tain variety Of plants. The advertise
ment came under Mrs. Potter's notice,
and she replied 10 it by letter. A cor
respondence followed. which resulted
in a proposal Of marriage from him.
About this stage Of the proceedings
he informed her that his business was
such that he could not 80 east for her,
but would send n representative. Not
long afterwards a oOmmotiOn was &C.
easioAed in that quiet hamlet by the
landing Of Mrs. Young, third wife Of
the late lamented Brigham, Of Utah.
It soon TRANSFERRED that she had been
delegated 10 come east 10 plead the suit
Of the ArizoLian lover. How well she
performed the task assigned her may be
inferred from the fact that last week
Mrs. Potter sold her residence, closed
out her personal effects, packed her
Saratoga, and started unattended 10
meet her contemplated husband. The
distance Of five hundred miles is To he
travelled by stage after leaving the rail
road; there her afhanced will meet and
accompany her the remainder OF the
distance. Mrs. Potter is intelligent,
refined, and highly respected. From
remarks dropped by Mrs. Young, that
he was lone OF our people," some OF
Mrs. Potter's friends incline TO the re-
lief that he is n mormon.
