assassin and calling for vengeance against
the murderer and his supposed accom-

A CYCLONE IN KANSAS.
The Town of Keighley Almost Wiped of
the Earth-Meagre Details.

WICHITA, Kan, June 25.-At 1870 this
evening a terrible cyclone from the south
west struck the village Of Keighlev, But
Ter county, and nearly wiped the little
town of the earth. All the telegraph
wires are down aud the information was
brought to Leon by courier, who rode on
a swift horse.
Owing to the fact that the courier left
Immediately after the cyclone passed over
the details are meagre. 1t is known, how
ever, that Ed. Thurman was crushed 10
death in a stable. Many were pinned un-
der falling houses and their fearful walls
indicate serious injury. 1t is thought that
MANY were killed, as the cyclone swept
on it's course as far east as the people could
see it. Two general stores, the largest
buildings in the village, were crushed like
egg shells. A freight train was standing
on the Frisco track at me time and six cars
were lifted up and turned upside down.
This would indicate that the cyclone was
at least 200 feet wide. The wreck stand
ing on the track piled up thirty feet high
and trains cannot pass until sometime to-
morrow night.

TIE kIorINa KEPT UP.
All the Italian Cafes Looted and Many of
the mob Made Drunk.

LYONS, June 25.-As the night advanced
the riOtInE In the city became more wide
spread and at one time II appeared as
though the mobs would take full possession
Of tue town. In the GuillOtierie quarter
the disturbances were particularly violent
Thousands of men and bows paraded the
streets and attacked and sacked every Ital-
ian store they came across.
Much of the loot obtained by the rioters
consisted Of liquors. Part Of the wines
and brandies captured was drunk by the
rioters, while what was not so disposed Of
was either poured into the streets and set
on IRE or burned In the casks and barrels,
which were rolled into the middle OF the
thoroughtareS. Many acts OF violence
were committed, ana threats of death 10 the
Italians were freely banded about.
A number OF arrests were made. When
the trouble was 10 its height, the prisoners
were liberated by the gendarmeS, who
were v0ciferouSly applauded by the mob.
The streets are Strewn with debris OF every
description. The left side of the river
RhOne was the scene Of the worst acts of
violence. Here the troops, who were sum
moued 70 aid the tue police, had the utmost
difficulty IN restoring order. In the centre
of the town the mob were amenab bic TO Or
ders and the troops were repeatedly
Cheered. During the night . total OF 800
arrests were made.
The despatch OF detectives from Paris TO
CeJJe, from which latter place SantO came
10 Lyons, has caused CONSERVATION among
the anarchists there and many Of them
fearing the police drag net would be thrown
around them. fed the town. Late TO-DAY
the police searched the lodgings Of q dozen
anarchists, but so far as known found
nothing 10 impiicate them in Santos
crime. Four arrests were made.

that the presidents assassination was the

the deaths of valiant and Henry, the two
