Man Killed.

Man Killed.
NEWTON, Kan, March "a tornado
struck this city Thursday afternoon at tive
o'clock, coming from the southwest, blow
ing down several houses, tearing down
fences and uprooting trees. heavy ram
accompanied it, Immediately followed by a
heavy shower of hail The high wind
lasted but a few seconds, but when it had
subsidized it was found that several build
ings had been blown down and the roofs OF
many houses taken sway.
Just before five o'clock dense, smoky
cloud was seen approaching from the west.
Almost at the same instant an intensely
cold wave from the north met it and there
issued forth dark cloud that moved rap
idly in the direction of the southwestern
part of the city. The first building struck
was the Newton buggy factory. The roof
of the main part of the building was
stripped off and hurled 10J feet east. One
timber struck William Lacey, an employe,
who was running home, on the head, Kill
ing him instantly.
The cloud next struck Waits addition to
the city, demolIshing and scattering IN all
directions six dwelling houses and num-
ber of barns. Miss Annie Hobble, who
was in one of the houses, was struck by a
flying timber and will probably die. Mrs.
Mary Smith, an inmate of the same house,
had her shoulder blade dislocated and was
otherwise injured, but not seriously. A
number Of horses and cows were killed
while fences, walks and trees were strewn
for many blocks. The loss TO property in
Waits addition win be fully $1,000.
William j. Lacy, the man killed, is un-
married, thirty-seven years old, and came
here from Kansas City year ago. He has
a brother in that city and sister in Mil
waukee, Wis, and one in Chicago.

They ColIided and Thus Saved the Life
of IA CoIored Gentleman.
There are good many bear stories
going the rounds nowadays, but we
have one which actually occurred in
this parish. On small plantation
mile or two above Bayou Goula
black bear was seen to enter
turnip patch and at once proceed to
help himself to as many turnips as his
appetite demanded. 1t is said that
colored man witnessed the unauthor-
lied levity of Mr.. Bruin and deter
mined that he would enter the patch
and drive the invader out. Acting on
the impulse he Immediately entered
the inclosure and started in Bruins
direction. As soon rs the mans
presence became known to the
bear he discontinued his vegeta-
BILE repast with the evident intention
of embellishing it with meat.
and, with ears thrown back and head
erect he started toward the son of
Ham with the apparent intention of
testing the qualities of his makeup.
The darky saw him coming and at
once decided that he did not wish to
drive his bearship from the field, and
rather than attempt it he would
leave the field himself So he
graciously turned his face in
the opposite direction and
made for the railroad. The bear APP
peared 10 be socially inclined and
willingly followed his visitor, excel
Grating his speed as he travelled.
Sambo initiated him aud quickened his
pace. Aud thus they had il
for some time straight up the
railroad; run BEAR run man, and
the devil take tho hindmost.
Suddenly the colored man heard
rumbling noise down the track. and
knew at once that the night express
train was coming. In a short time it
hove in sight running at tho rate of
thirty-fiye miles an hour. When the
train came in sight the eolored man
Jumped from the track and continued

around saw the iron horse, with its
red lights and its terrible Wheeling

He seemed to lose all thought of the
man, and turned his attention to the
new foe which threatened him. Rear

terday were as favorable as ever. The
morning one said that the German
Grown Prince was on the balcony
OF his villa in the morning, but was
most of the time invisible from the outside.
He looked and felt better than for several
days past. At midnight the report was
that the Crown Prince had passed salts
factory day. He coughed less frequently.
The patient spent a good deal of the day on
the balcony. DIR. Mackenzie still declines
to admit that the existence of cancer has
been proved. Sir Spencer Wells, the Eng
lish surgeon, has sent some springs to be
used in place of a tube in keeping open the
cutting In the Crown Princes throat. 1t IS
doubtful. however, whether the German
surgeons will adopt the suggestion.
