Police win Not Hurry the Case. but Arc
Ready at Any Time.
San Francisco. May 6.-Theodore Dur
rant will spend several quiet weeks in
the county jail before he is placed on
trial for his life for the murder of Min
nile williams and Blanche Lamont The
police will not hurry him to trial. de-
string to give him abundant time to
prepare for his defense. The case will,
therefore, not be called until July.
Chief Of Detectives Lees said today that
the supreme court had passed STRIFE
lures on the police department for hav-
ing brought to speedy trial Fredericks,
who shot Bank Teller Herrick. Though
Lees believes the criticism unjust, he
said the supreme court will be given no
opportunity for finding the same fault
in Durrant's case. He added that the
case of the prosecution is complete, and
it is ready for trial at any time.
The police are dissatisfied with the
evidence of Organist King, who, in an
effort to shield Durrant. stated at the
preliminary examination that he de-
tected the odOr OF escaping gas in the
church on April 8. although this state
ment is contradicted by the janitor and
two plumbers.
Threatening letters have been receiv-
ed by the schoolgirls who identified
Durrant as Miss Lamonts escort from
school on the day of her disappearance.
The girls have been warned that Ii
they testify against Durrant again, they
will receive physical violence.

Path Of the Storm Strewn With
Many Victims.
SWEPT EVERYTHING BEFORE IT
Late Reports Are That Fifty People Were
Killed Aud a town Completely
Destroyed

Sioux City. Iowa. May 4.--Fifteen kill
ed and two score more or less injured
is the revised list of the victims of
Friday nights cyclone. which swept
the northwestern part of Iowa. The
killed are as follows:
George Marsden.
Miss Anna Marsden.
Alice Roster.
Turner Vorhoff.
Jacob Jensen.
Mrs. John Roster.
Miss Tillie Haggie.
Maurice Coombs.
Mrs. Belknap.
Mrs. Waterman.
Rudolph acknowledged.
Peter Simmer.
Besides the above. a number were
injured, some fatally. A curious feat
ure of the cyclone was the accompani-
ment of electric violence, and many
deaths by lightning are reported. Sioux
Center, Cotton, Orange City, Perkins,
Boone, Hall, Sheldon, Ashton, Sibley
and Lemars, were almost directly in
the path of the cyclone. The cyclone
was followed by a furious rainstorm,
which had not abated at an early hour
this morning.
Numerous victims were found lodged
In trees, where they had been hurled by
the storm. Where there had stood fine
residences could be found nothing but
cellar holes, and in some cases a few
twisted timbers, while strewn all over
the ground were portions of the build
ings and furniture, bearing not the
least resemblance to it's original form
and useless except for kindling. Fields
sprouting with grain are now bare;
trees are unrooted, and all is desolation
along the path of the cyclone.
CHILDREN SLAIN.
| A pitiful feature of the disaster is
the number of youthful lives crushed
out. Three schoolhouses near Sioux
Center were destroyed while school was
in progress, and at each three to ten
children were killed or injured. Many
children were carried a quarter to half
a mile befoe they were dropped.
Two little daughters of John Roster.
a farmer near Sioux Center. were pick
ed up when leaving the schoolhouse,
dashed against a wire fence. and both
killed. Two sons of c. II. Haggie, at
the same schoolhouse, had their legs

to have been no real cyclone, with
