For Three Years He Suffered - Gould

Mr.. A. M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,

worst form Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar
velous. Instead of seeking his couch,
glad for the nights coming, he went to

long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle TO breathe was before him.

is now known that he was always sup
piled with beer, whisky and wine and
it was unusual to enter his study and
not find him studying his sermon with
a bottle of wine or whisky on the table
before him.
Hermans was not at all particular
about telling the truth. George A.
Lowe threw some light on his dealings
with Hermans yesterday. The pastor
had a pair of horses and bought a
buggy from Lowe for which he was to
pay Sis. Mr.. Lowe received S25 down
and the balance was to be paid in

PONTIAC, Mich, May 25.-The
country in the vicinity of this city was
given its first taste of a cyclone this
evening, and the little village of
Thomas has been wiped out Meta
mora and lakewood were also touched
up and their inhabitants badly fright
ened, some being injured, and a track
of devastation left to within three
fourGlls of a mile of Ortonville. The
telephone and telegraph wires be-
tween here and those places are down
and the only data of the work of the
cyclone is furnished by survivors who
have come here for shelter. But from
comparison of their stories, it seems
certain that from fourteen to eighteen
lives have been lost. The following
names of the dead at Thomas have been
reported by their neighbors who es-
capped with their lives, but lost their
homes:
John Poorit.
Mrs. Joseph Bird.
John Mickey.
NJ. e. Torrance.
Mrs. Henry Quick.
ADIdm QUICK anu TWO CHlIQreH-
Mrs. Alice Mitchell and two children
Actual details of the devastation
caused by the cyclone are, of course,
meagre but all of the witnesses agree
that the storm was a regular western
twiSter. Its first appearance at
Thomas station was from the south
west in the form of a densely black,
funnel-shaped cloud, moving with al
most incredible swiftness and seeming
to take long leaps. 1t seemed to have
the elasticity of a gigantic rubber ball
and would strike the ground, then,
leaving a foot print of devastation,
bound into the air and travel a mile or
more before again touching the earth.

they belonged to his wife, who was
dead.
On December II Mrs. Engleman went
over to the church. It was about noon,
and Hermans met her at the door and
took her upstairs. He showed her the
trunk and began to look around for a
key to open it with. explaining that he
had lost it or mislaid it somewhere.
He went downstairs and after some
time returned with a key and opened
the trunk. 1t contained four or five
fine dresses, one ladies belt, ladies' I'M
derclothes, wrappers, night gowns,
gloves and various other articles. He
wanted to know how much she could
give him for it, and she replied SO.
He then showed her a bookcase and
asked how much she could pay him
for it. She told him about So. He
made no definite reply to these offers.
and Mrs. Engleman. thinking that it
would not be accepted, started to go
home. He followed her, took her into
another room, and showed her gui-
tar. She offered him 81. so for it, and he
said she could have everything at her
own price. The guitar, he told her,
also had belonged to his wife, but now
that she was dead he had no more use
for it. Before going away he showed
her some old ladies' hats, and told
her she could take them away, which
she did.
Mrs. Engleman says she then went
home, and after having dinner sent her
son with an expressman 10 get the
goods.
Mrs. Engleman states that she has
sold everything but the two dresses,
which are now in the hands of the po-
lice. As she is not required TO keep a
record of her sales, she was
unable to recollect any of her
customers who bought the various
articles. The bookcase as well as the
guitar has been sold and no trace has
yet been found of the purchaser of
Miss Clausef's guitar. A great many
of the things were sold about confer
ence time.
Mrs. Engleman's son, Sam, cor
roborates his mother relative to going
for the trunk and other goods. He
went in company with George Smith,
an expressman.

calls going to the church for the goods |

The dresses which Captain Donovan

belonged to Miss Clausen. One is made
from black china silk with patterns

material The dark dress could be
identified from the picture in posses

Last night, however, the chief took
the dresses down to the church where
many of Miss Clausen's intimate
friends identified them. Both gar

When the clothes were shown to the

ANNIE sAMUELsEN.
Fate of This Girl Still shrouded in
Mystery.

While every day brings to light new
evidences of the brutal murder of Miss
Clausen there are comparatively few
developments in the Annie Samuel
sen case. 1t is now generally ac-
cepted theory that she has met fate
similar to Henrietta If that be a
correct one the criminal has succeeded
in covering UP his tracks and every
vestige of evidence that would be Of
any value.
1t was thought the remains might
have been discovered linden the church,
but this has been set at rest by the
excavation of. the basement yesterday
If indeed she had fallen a victim to a
murder as foul as that of Miss Clau-
sen by the same hand and in the same
