toward the gates and M the people In the
crowd took TO their heels he fired after them.
The bullet plowed through tho leg OF Louis
Hulka, a farmer living along the line OF the
roal. lIulka was carried away by his com
rades. The citizens became enraged over tho
act OF the officer, which they pronounced
unIustifiable. aud the next night al III
o'clock they renewed the assault on the OBJ
noxious gates. They cut them down. car
ried them out on the prairie and chopped
them to pieces. Every yestige OF gate was
destroyed by the citizens. and the road is
now open from Fullerton avenue TO Ir-
wing Park. The raiders eyaded the police
aud departed as they had come. Feeling IL

A rible cyclone and clondhurst oc.
cufrcd about i've miles north Of Eariyiiic.
III. The fury OF the storm WAS awful. The
whirling tempest struck . little school
house aud In an instant the building was
torn 10 pieces. the material OF which Il was
composed being scattered lar and wide.
There were eigh. persons In the school,
room, and they attempted 10 rush outside.
IL was too late. however. and not one cs-
capped TO tell the fearful experience.
The tca'her, Miss Mcbride. aud her
seven pupils were instantly Killed,
aud their bodies were carried some
distance. All were fcarfully bruised and
some were crushed and pounded almost be-
You'd recognition. Several Of the bodies
were hurled into a little creek that flowed
near, which was now swollen Into torrent.
These were carried down stream and have
not yet been recovered The names OF those
who persisted In the wrecklng 81 the school
house 70 far as known are: Miss Maggie
Mcbride. the teacher; Edna Hunt. Jennie

driving by the school house. lie was car
rled some distance aud his llfcess body
dropped into hedge. Ills team and wagon
were also lifted bodily into tho air aud no
trace OF them has since been found. The
cyclone then swoopcd down on the house OF
Newton Wood, and not vestige OF the
structure was left. The family had taken
refuge In the cellar. This undoubtedly
saved their lives, though all suffered more
or less serious injuries. The noise that NC
companied the tempest was like the roaring
OF hundred freight trains aud brought
terror 10 any one who heard II. The whole
country from near Earlyille 10 Paw Paw.

were wrecked and eight more persons killed.
All fences, orchards and crops were
ruined, aud the damage done was very great.
Even the forests were unable 10 resist the
terrible force OF the wind. and huge trees
were torn up bodily or broken down rs II
they had been but reeds. The cyclone con-
tinued increasing IN violence on It's awful
way until IL reached the village OF Paw
Paw Grove, where the greatest destruction
OF life and property was caused. This thriy-
ing village was struck by tho storm aud left
/ in ruins. The loss OF life was here very
great and u Is reported that seventeen per-
sons were killed and many severely injured.

was shrewd man ms well ms an effec-

accident had revealed TO him a golden
opportunity. lie took advantage OF 1t,
and with cautious steps increased his
speed, feeling the ground well under
him ms he proceeded. Before the trst
month was over he stood side by side
with any other character In the play;
and at the end OF the run he was. In my
opinion. considerably In advance OF us
all. And his success In London. In the
same character. fully attests, whatever
may be said 10 the contrary. that as an
extravagant, eccentric comedian In the
modem range OF comedy he was quite
without n rival. His performances Of
