DEATH At THE CIRCUS.
lightning Strikes the Center Pole
During q Performance.
SEVEN OF THE AUDIENCE KILLED.

Distressing Scenes as the Bodies Were
Removed from the Tent-Panio Averted
by Prompt Action Of tho Ringing
Brothers, Proprictors of the Show.
ST. PAUL, June 22-During severe
thunder storm at o'clock this afternoon
ut River Falls, Wis, just over the Min
nesota line, lightning struck the cehter
pole of the circus tent of Ringling Bros
Seven people were killed instantly, and
quite numter injured, none of the latter
fatally
The killed are: o. A. Dean, Eugene Rey-
nolds, A. Carpenter, a Il yenr-old son of
Q. r. Wiggins, a 12-year-old son of Cortis
Aldrich, j. A. G1endening, town clerk of
Oak Grove, and an unknown boy.
The greatest CONSERVATION followed The
rain continued falling In great sheets, and
the clothing of the dead was soaked
through before they could be removed As
soon as possible the Ringing brothers and
their employees did everything in their
power to alleviate the condition of the
wounded. The dead bodies were taken
down town and laid out on the floor of the
engine house, where they were, with the
exception Of the unknown boy, identified
In few minutes after their arrival The
scene as relatives identified their dead was
distressing. One elderly gentleman, the
father of young Dean, tainted and was
carried out of the engine house.
The clothing on some of the dead was
torn In shreds, while others presented no
external evidences of the fatality except
the awful stare and fixed, rigid features.
The number of wounded is estimated all
the way from ten to thirty. Most of them
were taken home as soon as possible, and
are nowdoing well The presence of mind
of the Rnglings and their employees pre-
vented stampede, which undoubtedly
would have been attended with still
greater fatalities, The crowd was held in,
check and the dead and wounded removed
as soon as possible.

WRoNGED HUSBANDS REVENGE
Killed His wife's Lover with Burning
oil Lamp.

MILAN, Tenn, June Z2-For some time
past DIR. John Hood, Of Adam, sixteen
miles north of here, has suspected that
improper relations existed between his
wife and William Piper. Dr. Hood left
home ostensibly on visit to patient, but
instead, hid in an outbuilding near the
house. In less than an hour Piper entered
the house. DIR. Hood forced his way to his
wife's bedroom and found his wife and
Piper in compromising situation. The
doctor attempted to shoot Piper, but the
pistol snapped. Snatching coal oil lamp,
burning on table near by, the wronged
husband dashed the missile at Piper's
head, the glass horribly cutting his face.
The lamp exploded, the oil running in
streams offfre over Piper's body, burning
his right ear off, destroying the sight of
both eyes, literally cooking his breast and
shoulders and burning his hair and beard,
He died in less than an hour The un-
faithful wife threw herself upon the body
OF the mass of charred flesh and cried for
death to take her with her lover. All the
parties are prominent people in their Sec
ton
