FRANKFORT IN RUINS.
Luckily the Residents Were Warned
of the Cyclone in Time.

FRANKFORT (Kan.), May ia
cyclone devastated this city at 3
o'clock. 1t came from the southeast
and was preceded by a heavy fall of
rain and hail. The funnel-shaped cloud
came in an opposite direction from the
wind that was prevailing and trav-
eled slowly, thus giving people time
to go into cellars. This warning un
doubtedly saved many lives. Several
farmhouses were destroyed before the
storm reached the city, but as far as
learned at this time no one was hurt:
Nearly fifty residences, besides barns
and outbuildings, were totally destroyed
in this city. Many of them We're the
finest in the city. At least 200 people
are homeless. No one was killed so
far as learned. Henry Kennedy's nose
was broken by a flying board. P.
Cudmore was hurt about the head and
Mrs. Moran and child were badly in
jured. The Methodist and Christian
Churches are total wrecks. Many
buildings are slightly damaged The
storm passed on to the northeast It's
track is about eighty rods wide. 1t is
reported the storm did great damage
near Bigelow and Vleits. The entire
is razed to the ground. Some miracu-
lous escapes are reported. Had the
cyclone come upon the city without
warning the loss of life would have
been terrible

SUPPOSED ELOPEMENT.
A Prominent RanCher of Long Beach
and a Married Woman Disappear.

Los ANGELES, May 1.-THE good
people of Long Branch are agog over
the disappearance of F. G. Butler, a
prominent rancher, and the agent for
Washburne, Crosby & Co., flour manu-
fecturers of Minneapolis. Simultane-
ously with his going the pretty wife of
George Mckenn left her home, and
scandalmongers profess to find some
connection between the incidents.
Some time ago George McKenn, for-
merly real estate agent of New York
purchased a ranch near Whittier and
came with his pretty wife, who formerly
lived in this city, to California for his
health. He later purchased a home at
Long Beach and then returned East.
McKenn's wife went to Beach CITY.
Among her early acquaintances was
Mrs. +. G.. Butler. The latter woman's
husband made the acquaintance of Mrs.
McKenn, who had, during the absence
of her husband gone under the name of
Mrs. Tell. When McKenn returned he
found a decided friendship between his
wife and Butler, against which he en-
tered vigorous protest. Despite this
protest the friendship continued, in
Guiding visits to Los Angeles and other
places together.
On one occasion a few months ago the
enraged McKenn met the pair together
in this city and proceeded to thrash
Butler. But the visits and the intimacy
continued until the last night of the
fiesta when the injured husband met
them again in company with each
other, and again mauled Butler.
Butler afterward paid McKenn's fine
and sued for peace. A day or so ago
Butler disappeared and his whereabouts
is unknown. Mrs. McKenn is also alb
sent "in the East" her folks say. Mrs
Butler is with her parents at Vernon,
il this city. Their name is Mcclure
She, it is claimed, will soon institute
suit for a divorce McKenn is in this

chase, he is without means
