prevented q panic at the fair grounds.
When the crowd appealed for protection
from the tornado, Pat corralled the
frightened people under the stands
and forced them to remain there. He
held a mob of about three hundred
in check ana it was lucky for them that
he did so. Everybody was tryiD 8 to get
out and wanted to make a break for the
south side of the stand. While Carmody
was holding them back the roof of the
stand was blown out and the debris fell
just where the people wanted TO go. Car
mody's good judgment saved many lives.
The roof OF the stand was blown in all di-
rections. Part of 1t landed on the natural
bridge road and several bodies were burL
ed beneath the debris. In the crush 4

an unknown number of men, women AID
children met an awful death. BY the
light Of few lanterns, assistant fire chief

meath, and o. Thomas, Harry and Will
liam Killisn, the latter boys under II
years OF age, were recovered, together
with that OF an unknown man. The

In an adjoining apartment were remains
OF tho ola French woman, said to nave
been taken from the demolished three
story building, operated as a grocery by
Il. A. Gundleach, on the opposite corner
at 1901 South Seventh street. 1t was stated
that moro bodies are in this Inter wreck.
while few yards south, at 1883, three
more people are known TO have been
caught in their collapsed home.
The Union station was crowded last
night by persons awaiting the departure
of trains on which they intended to leave
town. The hurricane created havoc in
railroad business which was virtually de-
moraliZcd for time. Incoming and out
going trains were either detained from
travel or stalled for hours.
Communication over railroad company's
wires was suspended in several directions.
The Vandalia train number 2l, due in
81. Louis at p. m, arrived via tne Mer-
chants bridge at 80 a. m. The through
train number 4, due at p. M, arrived at
i a. N. No Iron Mountain trains left
during the night. Iron Mountain train
mum Der 81 did not arrive. No east bound
trains left during the night.
The round house of the Union depot
was seriously damaged by the storm. The
St. Louis Refrigera,or and Wooden Cut
ter Company'a plant at Mann street and
Park was DESTROYED. The plant consisted
of four story factory, a tour story ware
house, bicycle factory and several small
Ter buildings. When the cyclone struck
there were at work between 400 and 500
men and women. The top stories OF the
warehouse and factory were blown of.
Fortunately there were only few people
on the top iioor and all bat two are
thought OF have escaped with slight in
juries.
Peter Hardie and brother, who were al
work in the warehouse. were injured. One
of the employees was seen shortly after
the crash and he was positive that at
least two of his fellow workmon had been
buried in the ruins.

Fire broke out In the warehouse Just
after the top floor was destroyed. The
panic-stricken employees rushed pell-mell
from the building, leaving many disable

Alarms were sent IN from all the alarm

were already useless. Chief Minglcy hap
pened TO be crossing the Fourteenth street

HALF KILLED HER TEACHER.
A Girl Puts Couple of Pins in the
Professors Chair.

New York, June 11.--Prof. Herman
Paul. teacher Of German in the public
schools at Fordham, West Farms and
fremont. is in peculiar condition, the
result, it Is believed, of what was in
tended as harmless joke by one Of his
favorite pupils. Last Friday afternoon
Gertie Reynolds, Is years old, placed
two pins in the professors chair, while
he was absent from the room. When
he returned the children of the class,
numbering over,4O. quietly awaited the
farcical denouement. But when it came
it assumed the form of ira gedy.
The aged professor jumped from the
chair with a scream. He ordered the
girl from school and later, finding him
self in great pain, called carriage and
was driven 20 his home. Almost i'm
mediately his legs began to swell. and
Or. NJ. Silverman was summoned. Prof
Paul was in great agony and the doctor
expressed the fear that blood poison
ing or lock jaw might result. Ter three
days Prof. Paul hovered between life
and death, and while he is considerably
better today, it is by no means con-
ceded that he had passed the danger
line. Gertie Reynolds said she had no
idea of harming her teacher and was
sorry she had made him suffer. Il only
did IL for fun" she said

LEBECK ! CORN,
THREE NEGROES LYNCHED.
Best Citizens of Texas Take the Law
i'm Their Own Hands.

Houston, Tex, June 11.-Louis White
head, George johnson and Jim Reddick,
three negroes, were taken from the Jail
at Bryan, one hundred miles north Of
here, last night and hanged. White
head and Johnson were charged with
attempting to criminally assault the
twelve-year-old daughter of DR.. r. H.
Wilson, Sunday night. Reddick had
been convicted of the crime Of RAPE on
an italian girl and sentenced to hang,
but the decision was reversed by the
higher court and he was held awaiting
a new trial. The doctor was absent at
the time. The negroes broke into his
medicine chest and got what they
thought was chloroform, but which
proved to be creosote and failed to pro-
duce the desired effect when put on the
young girls pillow.
The sheriff of the county was absent
last night and Jailor Gee, who was in
charge Of the Jail, was unprepared 10
resist the attack. He refused to de-
liver the keys, but the doors were bat
tered down. The mob built a fire to
furnish light to work by which gave
people the idea that the negroes were
being burned. The mob was 300 strong
and came from Kurten, nine miles west
of Bryan, where DR.. Wilson lives, and
where the attempted assault occurred.
The mob was composed Of the most
prominent citizens Of Kurten, none of
whom were masked.
