Scott jackson will Hang.

The trial of Scott Jackson, charged
with the murder of Pearl Bryan, has
ended at Newport, KY, and the pris-
oner was found guilty. The jury was
out about three hours and there was a
death like stiffness when the foremen
gave the verdict as follows: 1--WE, the
jury, find the defendant, Scott jackson
guilty of murder in the first degree and
fix his penalty at death" The Judge
had previously announced that no dem
onstration of approval or disapproval
by spectators would be permitted.
Consequently the verdict was heard
with silence, but Immediately upon the
adjournment of court the spectators
rushed TO the jurors and shook their
hands heartily.
Jackson himself received his doom
with no manifestation or emotion eX-
cept ashen paleness of the face. None
of his relatives were present. The
aged father of Pearl Bryan and her
brother, Fred Bryan, were present
when the verdict was rendered. In an
interview Jackson admits his surprise
over the verdict and claims that he had
proven an alibi He still maintains
that Walling killed Pearl Bryan.
Walling was also interviewed and ex-
pressed his satisfaction. He asserts
that Scott Jackson killed the girl and
in his interview repeatedly stated that
jackson deserved hanging.

Kansas suffers From cyclones.

A funnel-shaped cyclone struck the
north part of the town of Sabetha,
kas, near the Nebraska state line, de-
stroying the Grand Island railroad
depot and elevator and about 90 resi-
dences. Twenty people were wounded
several of whom will die. Twenty
families were rendered homeless, losing
everything they had The cyclone
passed off towards Falls City, and evil
IDENTIFY did great damage in the country
A devastating cyclone passed through
Seneca. Everything its path was com
pletely wrecked and four people were
killed and a number injured. Couriers
from the country report great damage
to property and probable loss of life.
There were many miraculous escapes
from instant death. The streets are
impossible, blocked with debris of
buildings and fallen trees.
At Oneida several buildings were de-
stroyed and three children of James
Sherrard killed. The west half of the
village of Baileyville was swept away,
but no one was killed.
A terrific cyclone swept down upon
the town of Frankfort, Kas. Every
thing in the north and west ends of
the town was completely wrecked.
Probably three score of buildings were
RACED to the ground. Some of the best
residences of the town were blown to
atoms. Reports coming in from the
country, where heavy damage has been
done, will materially swell the loss.
Many are reported painfully injured,
but so far as known no one has been
killed. Many head of horses, cattle
and other stock have been killed.
Another cyclone visited north central
Kansas, starting in the northern part
of Clay county, and passed in north
easterly direction through Riley county
and into Marshall and Nemaha coun-
ties. The little hamlet of Bodaville, in
Riley county, was entirely swept away.
Several are reported killed there and
many injured, but nothing can be
learned definitely At Spring Valley,
the storm demolished a church in which
$50 people were worshiping. Many
were injured.

SCORES KILLED IN A STORM.
At Least so Killed and 900 Manned by
Cyclone I'm Texas.


Cyclone I'm Texas.
A cyclone terrible in Its effects passed
over the state of Texas. The funnel
shaped cloud in its disastrous passage
whipped up within its vortex every
thing in its reach, leaving death, SUI
fering and destruction in its wake.
Fully so persons were killed, while the
MANNED and mangled will number zoe
more. The destruction of stock and prop
erty and the money loss is incalculable.
The town of Sherman suffered most
severely and at least so people were
killed. The towns of Howe, Denison,
Justin, Denton, Marshall and the in
tervening country were struck by the
monster and lives were lost at every
point.
The first blast of the cyclone was
felt at Justin, in Denton county, more
than 100 miles from Sherman. The
work of ruin was quickly accomplished
there. From there the cyclone swept
through Gerald, Denton and Mingo, to
Gribble Springs and on to Mustang. A
hundred miles was travelled in an hour.
