A Piece of Land Sinks Four Feet-Twenty
Inches of Rain In Seven Days
CoTToN PLANT, Ark, June "A heavy
wind and rain storm passed over this
town on last Wednesday evening, doing
much damage.
Three miles south of town terrific
tornado spread death and destruction.
Many farm houses and barns were
blown down. East of Bayou de view,
in Monroe county, the damage was even
greater.
The plantation of John Gazlow was
left without house of any kind stand
ing. At the railroad tank on Bayou de
View the engine house was blown
away and the boiler thrown from its
foundation. The width of the tornado
was about one and one-half miles and
very little tim Der is left standing.
On William Clifton's place one colored
boy was killed and another seriously
wounded. The rainfall here for the
past seven days is more than 90 inches.
All telegraph wires have been down
for more than Sc hours, hence details of
the damage done blythe storm are hard
to get.
The tornado cloud was of the regula-
tion funnel shape and travelled, as
usual, from southwest to northeast.
The most wonderful incident after it
had passed was land sink on Mr.. j.
r. Hudson's farm, where piece of land
twenty feet wide and sixty feet long,
in his corn field, sunk about four feet,
leaving square banks on all sides

REIGN OF TERROR.
Quarrymen Near Chicago Go on q Strike
and Raise MERRY Ned.~


CHICAGO, June 3.-There was reign
of terror along the route of the Chicago
drainage canal, between Lemont and
Romeo. Four hundred quarrymen
struck for an increase IN wages, and,
armed with clubs and revolvers,
marched from one quarry to another,
forcing the men to quit work, thus
gaining additions to their ranks and
stopping at many saloons on the way
until, almost crazed with liquor, they
left the quarrieS and rushed upon the
nearest camp of contractors on the
great drainage canal line. Camp after
camp was visited and each man was
driven from work, and where they had
temerity to resist were assaulted. Many
men were painfully beaten, and it is
thought that one, James Powderly, will
die.
The strikers encountered no serious
opposition at any of the camps until
they reached that of the Mccormick
Construction Co. They were met by
Mccormick himself, and he told them
not to do any damage to the property.
They began to hurl rocks at him, strik-
ing his horse and bruising him. Nc
Cormick retreated and procured Win
chester rifle, at the sight of which they
left. His men, however, are all quiet
AT Mason, Hogan & Kings camp. the
rioters struck and wounded Peter King,
brother of the contractor. A freight
train on the Santa Fe killed one of the
strikers, who was on the track near
Romeo. The strikers number about
1900 men, 1900 of them being employed
on the drainage canal. The cause of
the strike is that the stone companies
reduced the wages from 1715 cents to
10 cents per hour.
