THE northern portion OF Handusky
county was visited by a terrific cyclon
Monday afternoon which carried
death and destruction in its path and
was undoubtedly the most severe in
that section. The path of the cyclone
is marked from point about two
miles east of the village of Hessville
and extends in a northeasterly di-
rection for about SIX miles, and about
half mile wide and is nearly leveied
to the ground, only here and there
a piece of property and a few trees
remaining. During the day there
had been an occasional shower, but
other than this there had been nc
sign of approaching danger. There
are six or eight reported killed and
several probably fatally injured.

HETTY GREEN'S BIG BLUFF.
She Found . Man Who Took Her 1t Her
Word Promptly.

Word Promptly.
'"The way Hettie Green got her first
million-two or three at least-was By
Inheritance" said z. A Chase, of Bos-
ton, at the Hotel Page. "She has added
good many more millions to the orig
inal pile left by her father, the late
Edward Mott Robinson. Robinson got
his start in life up our way; he was a
New Bedford man and laid the fouHda-
ton of his fortune by close attention
to the whaling business. His boats
made many a capture Of these monsters
of the deep and they turned to gold in
the hands of Robinson. Afterward he
went to New York and became one Of
the greatest traders on the seas of his
day. He did not leave all his wealth
TO Mrs. Green unconditionally, but
finally the bulk of the estate passed into
her keeping.
Mrs. Green at one time did bushes.

deposited with them her cash, bonds,
securities and other forms of money,
running into big figures One day she
went to the bank to express her dissat-
isfaction with the way some matter
of hers had been conducted. Mr.. Cisco,
the head of the concern, argued the
question with her in a temperate way,
but her wrath was aroused and she
would not be appeased. Finally she
stated her intention of withdrawing
from the bank, then and there, every
sumarkee that stood to her credit. She
said it with emphasis and not in the
way of one who merely puts forth
bluff. Anyway, Mr.. Cisco took
her seriously and told her itwould
give him the greatest pleasure
to accommodate her; that shs
should have every dollar that was hers
on the spot, and straightway ordered
an employee to get out Mrs. Green's gold
and silver coin, greenbacks, treasury
notes, stocks and bonds and all other
kinds of lucre the lady possessed. The
clerk was good while at it, but he a.
length piled 100000 or $4,000, 600 in
front of the owner. who had been re-
garding the task without comment.

remarked the old banker, please re.
move it.

Gun keep it.
Excuse me, madam, but we don't
care for your patronage any longer.
Please take your money away
old Cisco was deaf to all her plead
ings to let the stuff stay. He was just
as resolute as she had been wrathful,
but he consented to let one Of his men
go out and buy trunk to pack the cash
and other financial tokens in, and then
let the man accompany Mrs. Green and
her trunk to another DEPOSITORY.
