Curious Tornado Effects.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press
One of the occupants of the Good cottage,
near Lake Gervais, on July IS, an elderly lady,
was very fond Of taking care Of fowls, and had
raised nearly hundred chickens and ducks.
These were all killed by the storm. The lady
had also made nice lot Of soft soap, of which
she was very proud. The soap had been left on
u board by the side OF the house, and Of course
was carried away by the wind. The occupants
of the house, it will be remembered, took
refuge in the cellar when the storm was seen
coming. All were more or less injured and
their clothing torn from their bodies 1t was
nearly half an hour before all were released,
more dead than alive. The lady spoken of was
half unconscious, and the moment she was
taken from the cellar she took one glance at
the work of the tornado threw up her hands
and exclaimed: "Oh! where are nv ducks and
my chickens, and where is my nice soft soap?''
Her soft soap has probably dissolved in Lake
Gervais, but the remains OF her ducks and
chickens were found here and there within
radius of q mile or more from the house The
idea that a tornado could pluck the feathers
from fowl as clean AZ could the most accom-
plished chef has been laughed at, but some of
the chickens and ducks belonging to the Good
family we're stripped of every feather. But
that was not the only remarkable thing about
them. Some of the chickens found nearly a
mile from the house had their necks stretched
to q remarkable length, the necks Of some, It il
said by those VINO saw them, being at least q
foot long. Another incident of the storm in
that one Of the ladies who took refuge In the
cellar was almost covered with oats the sharp
needles of which penetrated her clothing and
stuck to the skin. The husband of the lady
vouches for this occurrence, and says that Il
took nearly half an hour to remove the oats.

republicans. Besides Quay there we're present

HE THINKS HE is RICH.
A California Saloon Keeper Says He IL
Heir 10 S12,OOO,OOO.

A few days ago E. q. Bert was making q
comfortable living out of O saloon in the out
skirts Of San Francisco. Today he finds that
he is heir to an estate valued at sl2.OOO, 900.
Bert told his story as follows: my father was
French, his name being Etienne Gustave Bert
He emigrated when young man to Philsdel-
phia and was known Ed Bert There are
three Of us in the family-Chsrlss, Fred and
myself. My father had an uncle in France who
was a very wealthy land owner and msnufac-
turer OF champagne, Of whom i have often
heard him speak, and whose favorlto he was.
Being born in America, however, we boys took
almost forgotten him until the story Of his
having left large fortune, 10 which our
father and through him ourselves sre direct
heirs. came to us.
Alawyer named schick had q large claim
against the estate which, he could not collect
until il was administered upon In order 70
save himself he instituted q search for the
heirs and traced my father 10 Philadelphia
Here he found my two brothers, Fred and
Charles. who are now in the theatrical bust
ness there. He laid the matter before them and
advised them to procure proofs of their heir
ship and claim the estate. Fred upon this
wrote TO his son, Eugeue f. Bert, who il Q law-
yer, to get from our mother, Julia Bert, all the
Information she can give. Mother knows more
of fathers French relatives than we do be-
especially about this uncle, and / think she
will be able TO furnish proof that will put rs in
possession OF our rights"
Etienne Gustaye Bert, after living in Phils-
delphia for several years, went TO California in
IS49 and was well known in theatrical circles
there. He brought out the Royal Japanese
troupe, the first Japanese who ever exhibited
outside their native country. With these he
travelled through this country and Europe.
In St. Petersburg his fame became known to
the Emperor Alexander, who sent his private
carriage for him, and in interview asked
for private performance OF the Japs for the
imperial family. This Was given and purse
of 5000 roubles was offered TO the old gentle-
man and refused, whereupon the czar pre-
scented him with diamond ring.
His sons have followed their father in the
theatrical line and are well known over the
coast as managers Of leading theatrical COM
panies. Fred Bert was for years manager Of
the California Theater and Opera House and
the Oakland Theater, while Charles was treas
urer of the California Theater. Etienne q.
Bert died in San Francisco two years since. bus
his widow is still living with her relatives here.
The estate consists chiefly of Lands in France,
Germany and England.
