CoNcoRDIA. Kan, April 20 The cy-
clone which swept through this section oil
the state ON Saturday evening was
probably one of the most severe that
Kansas has ever experienced. Its path
was about 400 feet wide and extended
fully twenty miles. 1t formed about
o'clock Saturday evening near the little
town of st. Joseph, I'm the western part
of Cloud county. and passed In north
essterly direction through the northern
part OF Clay and probably into the south
ern edge of Washington counties. Fortu'
nately 1t struck no towns, but its course
was through a thickly settled portion OF
the Republican valley. The cyclone was
funnel shaped and its power seemed un-
limited. Houses and barns were lifted
into the air aud dashed back 60 earth.
Trees were uprooted or broken of, and
everything In its track was DESTROYED The

EUROPE VERSUS AMERICA.
Big Six Day Bicycle Tournament at
Madison Square aarden.

New York, Dec. 5.-A six day inter-
national bicycle tournament will be
ron through the whole OF next week in
Madison Square Garden. Such famous
American professionals as Shock, Wal
Ter, Alberts, Golden and Ashinger have
entered. but the interest centers in the
world heaters from Europe. These in
clude such men as William Lumsden,
champion OF Scotland, who has beaten
Jimmy Michael several times; Tom Lin
ton, who holds the worlds hour record;
w. Chappie. former amateur champion
OF the same country; j. Platts-Betts,
holder OF the English record at one
mile, and the international one mile
Tecord in competition made at Copen-
hagen a few months ago, and A. A.
Chase, champion of the world at sixty
two miles, and his brother, Tom Chase.
Linton Is one Of the greatest middle
distance riders the world has today. In
Europe his name is a household word in
cycledom. He Is a brother of Arthur
Linton, who died last summer from ex-
cessive road racing. Tom has the honor
Of being the first man to ride thlrty-One
miles in az Nour. He did this IA few
weeks ago. e had no sooner done 1t
than j. w. Stocks went him a few
yards better, going 81 miles and AZ
yards. Then Linton went at the rec
ord again and managed to top Stocks
record, putting the hour figures where
they now stand, at 81 miles $50 yards.
Platt-Betts Is by odds the fastest
dash rider in England. As a goer
against the watch, he Is o such a
flier as John s. Johnson. Chase is one
Of the crack long distance men OF Eu-
rope. There are only two others in the
class with him: they are Stocks and
Constant Huret Of France. Stocks and
Chase have been having 1t" back and
forth tlr last summer as representa-
tives OF rival chain firms. 1t is expect
ed that in this match some indoor rec
ords will be made. The most pictur-
esque fellow o the track. n can rest
assured, viii be the by from bonnie
Scotland" Lumsden has an inclination
to wear h striking garb of his coun-
try and he has been charming Paris
lans recently by an exhibition of eccen-
tricity in apparel. The Chase brothers
are likely to do some tandem record
riding. October q, at h Crystal Pal
ace track, London. they cut the worlds
tandem record Of McGregor and Nelson
from 1850 10 to Las 1-5, and lowered the
five mile figures to 1923. or l 80 seconds
inside the previous best worlds record
The racing carnival begins this even

professionals and amateurs, and will
end with a IN hou paced contest be-
tween j. i. Starbuck and James Mi

were taken on yesterday mornings

wife's parents reside. The remains
We're followed to the train by a large
%concourse of members of the secret or

large body of sorrowing citizens. There
were brief funeral services conducted

remains as far as Canton, s. D.,
The cause of Wylie's rash deed Is n

Is somewhat doubted by some, as they
say no reason can be found to validate
this theory, and are inclined to believe
that IL was an accident.

FARMER BOYLE ROBBED.
Crime Is Supposed to Have Been
Committed by His Hired Man.

Peoria, Ill, Dec. 5.-Frank Boyle, a
bachelor, aged SO. who operates a farm
near Princeville, twenty-three miles north
Of here was drugged by acids and then
robbed last night. Boyle is still uncon-
pcious and DIR. Wilcox Is of the opinion
That he cannot recover.
Boyle's condition was discovered about
o'clock by a ~neighbor, who went to his
house and found him In bed unconscious.
his face and lips charred by acids. A
hasty examination OF the house showed
that It had been ransacked and Boyle's
money, about S5, is missing. Suspicion
Immediately fell on a man who sought and
obtained work of Boyle last Saturday and
a sheriff's force is now looking for him
east of Princeville, where he is supposed
to have gone last night.
Soon after the strager was hired he
asked Boyle to take care of a check and
by this means he learned where Boyle
kept his money. The check was a false
one. This stranger purchased acid from
DR.. Wilcox Wednesday morning. also sew
eral kinds of acid from a druggist. 1t Is
supposed that he induced Boyle to take
the poison, or forced him to take IL, and
then robbed the house.
