JEOPARDY
DENIsoN, TEX, May Is. The city OF
Sherman was visited by the worst cy-
clone in the history of north Texas about
o'clo ck thi evening.
Tie path of the destroyer was 15C
yards wide.

spread and spent its force.
The track of the cyclone is grue-

erything in it's pathway being destroyed.
The loss of life will probably reach
100, with as many more bruised and
wounded. The city hall and the store
room, formerly occupied by S. &.
Holmes, have been turned into Temporal

gled and mutilated bodies are awaiting

badly damaged. The cyclone passed
directly west of The North Texas Female

SUNDAY SCHOOLS PIC MIC.
Parrott and sardls Had An Enjoyable Pic
Mic at Bottoms Mill Friday.

Last Friday, 18th inst, as the sur
roe bright and clear over hilltops and
trees, in almost every home in the neigh
borhoods of Parrott AMI SaIdis fathers
and mothers, sons and daughters were
astir, and activity characterized every
household. What meant this9 great
commotion? 1t is all explained when
we say that the crown of all social gath
erings, the picnic, was on hand.
| The Sabbath schools of the two places
aboye named had appointed this time as
the day of days on which to pass away
the hours in social enjoyment.
When we read of the marriage of
Cana in Galilee, the visits to the home
of Martha and Mary, we
feel that in our Great Exemplar We
find the social element in some promi-
hence. Why then should we hesitate to
lay aside the strain and cares of our
everyday life, nd by sweet intercourse
and association forget them?
The place selected for this occasion
was Bottoms mill, and long before we
arrived on the grounds the smiling faces
of our county officers, Captain Roberts,
Walter Dozier and Dave Christie, were
In waiting to welcome, as it were, the
crowd. Our two big-souled citizens,
Charlie Ward and Nath Bolton, had pre-
pared that role so delightful TO the cpl
cure, the old fashioned barbecue, which
was so bundant that we deemed it suf-
ficient of itself. But when the great
boxes and baskets were opened and their
contents spread before us we decided
we could spend the week without fear of
hunger. We do not wish to be heard for
our "much speaking and as simplicity
is strength we will say in our plainest
language it was one of the incest AMI
most abundant dinners we ever saw.
Ice lemonade flowed as freely
as the spring water. Of course
in every public gathering the gentle
men are always the most gallant and
ladies the fairest, but in this gathering of
men and women, girls and boys, satire
or attempt at flattery would be out of
place. So when we state that the men
were as manly, the ladies as queenly,
the girls as fresh and fair Indeed they
were the queen roses in. the rosebud gu-
den of girls) as those of any assembly we
give facts.
And now goodbye, sweet day; good
bye. Long will the memory of your mo-
ments serve to refresh us, and when we
become disc )uraged or fatigued with the
hardships and trials of life we will have
but to remember this occasion of social
JOY in order to gather fresh strength for
duties. z. W. G. and NJ. r. D.

Little Minnie, the six-year-old daugh-

her foot, called her fathers attention to
it. An examination disclosed the i'm

Two Desperadoes.

COLUMBUS, Ga., Oct. 14.-About
2:3O o'clock this afternoon ]. A.
White, a shoemaker, and Henry
White, his son, foully murdered two
policemen on thirteenth street, this
city and fatally wounded another on
Sixteenth street shortly afterward.
There was no cause for the commits
sion of the crime other than the fact
that both men had been summoned to
appear before the recorder tomorrow
for some. trivial otfense. Richard
Adams was the officer who summoned
the two men to court. Immediately
after he summoned them with the sub
poena both men armed themselves
and returned to Rumsey's bar on Thir-
teenth street, near where Adams was
standing. The elder White deliber-
ately levelled the Winchester with
which he was armed and shot Adams
just above the heart, killing him al
most instantly. Officer William Jack
son, who was patrolling the adjoining
beat, heard the shot and ran to the
scene. He was met by both the
Whites, who began firing on him as
he turned the corner from First ave-
nue.. lie was shot four times, but
lived until T o'clock tonight. After
the commission of the second murder
the two men walked leisurely up First
avenue to their home on Sixteenth
street, where Officer Charles Roberts
went to arrest them. In answer to his
knock upon the door, Roberts received
a bullet from Whites Winchester
through the stomach. He staggered
to the street mortally wounded, and
at this hour, though alive, no hope is
entertained for his recovery. BY the
time the third policeman had fallen a
crowd of over 500 armed men had
reached the scene and the murderers'
house was surrounded. Tom Jackson,
marshal of Girad, and Zeno Pickett,
an extra policeman of this city, volun-
teered to run White out of his house.
Four other brave men offered to follow
them, and the crowd charged on the
house, firing hundreds of bullets into
the windows and doors. When the
fusilade ceased Jackson and Picket
forced open the door, whereupon
White began firing upon them. The
two men rushed in upon him, and af-
ter shooting him a half dozen times
dragged him into the streets. lmme-
diately after delivering Whites body
to the sidewalk from the effects OF
what is believed to be mortal wound.
He was taken to a nearby house,
where he is still quartered, and though
in critical condition, there is faint
hope for his recovery. The young
White escaped from the house and
crossed the river near by into Alaba,
ma, where he was capture ID tonight at
1880 o'clock by Officers Osborne and
Threllkeld of this city. lie was
brought to this city and placed in Jail.
