CAMP MEETING WRECKED.
storm of CyclOnic Fury with Death
and Terror in Its Wake.

GAINESVILLE, o., July H.-A fatal wind
storm, accompanied by heavy rainfall,
burst upon the camp grounds near Rose
vile, o., this afternoon, uprooting trees
and overturning buggies. The storm was
cyclonic in fury and before it had spent
itself two persons were killed and sew
eral others seriously injured.
The storm, accompanied by a roaring
sound, burst over the camp ground about
o'clock, while the services were being
held in the tabernacle and was all over in
a few seconds. A large tree was blown
over demolishing one corner of the tab
ernacle instantly killing Mrs. Clement
Wilson of GAINESVILLE, her skull being
crushed In. Patrick Deselm of GAINESVILLE
was caught by the falling tree and his
breast was crushed. He died an hour af-
terwards Miss Clea Ansel of Saltillo had
her left leg crushed; Lydia Jenkins, a 16-
year old girl of GAINESVILLE, was struck on
the head by flying timbers and seriously
injured Several other persons received
slight Injuries. The dead and injured were
brought to this city this evening.
Wadena, Mimi. July PA cyclone, NOV
ing with resistless force and velocity,
swept through the town of Deer Creek.
twenty miles west of here in Ottertail
county yesterday. For more than two
hours after the storm struck not a word
could be hearQ from Deer creek, anu a
dense cloud of dust hung over the place.
1t was feared that the town had been
wholly wiped from the face of the earth,
and that hundreds of lives had been lost.
Finally telegraph communication was re-
stored. and it was learned that nobody had
been killed outright, although some had
received fatal injuries. 1t was also learn
ed there was immense damage to build
ings and to grain. Surgeons have been
sent over TO the Northern Pacific Black
Hills branch from both Wadena and Fer
gus Falls. The general store of Arthur
d. Baker, the principal merchant Of the
place. standing directly in the path of the
cyclone. was completely wrecked. In the
second story of the building lived Jens
Famill. with his wife and three children.
Hamin was away. but his family was at
home and fell amid the crashing timbers.
Mrs. Hamill was severely cut and IS be-
Beved to have been injured internally so
seriously that she will die. A little girl Of
eIoht years was so shockingly bruised by
a 1ving sleeper that it is believed she will
die The other children were also terribly
r,angled but their injuries are in their arms
and legs, and it Is believed they will re-
cover.
Mr.. Baker carried a stock of goods valued
at $4,000. most of which is ruined. The
store building was wooden structure val
,ed at q 500. Mr.. Bakers residence, a hand
sorne structure valued at IS 900 was literally
demolished and scattered about the prairie.

tional Linseed OIL Company. at the cross
ing of Canal street and the Burlington
railway tracks, was totally destroyed by
fire early this morning. entailing a loss Of
nearly $500, 900. The fire was a fierce one,
and before the fremen could reach the
scene on the first alarm 1t was beyond
their control.
The building was saturated with oil
Oil was stored by the thousand barrels
on every floor, and it needed but the
touch of a match to start the huge bon
fire ablaze. The moment the fire had
fairly broken out the flames leaped in
great jumps from one spot to another, and
it was only due to the Isolated position
of the mill and the hard work of the fire
department, that the blaze was confined
to the buildings in which IT started. As
it was, lumber yard and small factory
near by were oftimes in great danger
The origin of the fire is unknown.

A BATTLE LONG AND BITTER.
Durant's Trial for the Murder of
Blanche Lamont Begins To-day.

San Francisco, July 21.-The trial of
William Henry Theodore Durant for the
murder of Blanche Lamont in Emanuel
Baptist church begins in the superior
court tomorrow Seventy-five citizens
have been summoned to report at that
hour, but such a strong public sentuent
existed against the accused at the time
of his arrest that it is believed twelve
men will not be obtained from this num-
Der. In order to overcome any possibility
of a jury not being secured, seventy-hve
additional Jurors have been summoned to
appear on Wednesday.
From the hour of opening the court un-
til the case is ended there will be a bitter
legal battle. The police are positive of
securing conviction, and the defense Is
just as positive of acquittal. The evidence
on the part Of the prosecution will be en-
tirely circums tantial. A complete chain,
which cannot be broken, has been woven.
say the police but the defense has inti-
mated that an alibi which will be present
will break every Link. Durant expressed
great confidence in the outcome He
maintains his innocence and has limited
that some startling evidence will be given
in his favor, but will not say what the
nature OF IL is.
It IS thought the trial will last at least
two weeks. Should a verdict Of acquittal
be rendered he must still answer for the
murder of Minnie Williams. The strong
est charge, however, is the one he will
face in the morning

William Walter Taylor, ex-trcasurer Of

train Tuesday morning. under custody of
the authorities of this state. Attorney
General Crawford returned to the city this
morning, and gives this information.
Tavlor has been fleeing from the detec-
tives through South America and they
were hot on his trail when he received adj
vices from bondsmen that lie should re-
turn. About three weeks ago he sailed
from Para, at the mouth of the Amazon
river in Brazil. for New York. and is to-
dayat his old home in Lafayette, Ind.
preparing TO star. for Pierre. where he
will confess his guilt take whatever
punishment the courts may decide is his.
and with his bopdsmcn make restitution
OF every cent belonging to the state treas
ury. The details of the transaction arc
fully understood except as to the punish-
mcnt. which a jury must decide. The
sum OF 100000 is to be paid over, certain
large property interests are to be turned
over and disposed of by sale. and the bal
ance made up by the bondsmcn. who were
made to understand that their only hope
was to send for Mr.. Taylor. by reason of
the vigorous manner in which our attOr-
ney general had drawn the chains of the
law about them, no compromise Of any
kind being possible.
Thus we see the beginning of the end of
an affair that has been talked the world
over. 1t has brought one hitherto good
man to ruin and disgrace. but the people
of the state will Gle long have back all
the money that was unlawfully taken
from them.
The credit is due to Mr. Crawford for
the success OF ibis case. He is more solid
in the esteem and admiration of his fellow
citizens. If il We're possible for him to be.
