The Last Story of the Bell Buzzard

Mr.. John r. Davidson whose
farm is near Elkton heard the bell
and saw the buzzard Tapping about
in an unnatural manner on the
ground. He went to the bird and
found the cord which fastened the
bell to it's neck was choking the
buzzard. Mr.. Davidson cut the
cord and unbelled the bird. The
belled buzzard will no longer
furnish newspaper paragraphs.

Sunday night the large store of
Mr.. George Walker, situated in the
lower part of the town, better
known as the old Halls Cross
Roads store stand, and the large
twelve room dwelling house, which
was attached to the store, also a
fine drug department and DR..
Arthur Cronin's dentist office, be-
sides a large warehouse and fer
tilizer shed, were entirely consumed
by fire.
There is scarcely enough water
in the entire town to extinguish
one large fire. Water was carried
in buckets for nearly half a mile.
Mr.. Chas. B. Osborn's barn, which
stands about $50 yards from the
fire, ignited several times, but the
fire was extinguished before much
damage was done. There was be-
tween $1,000 and 81 900 insurance
on the building and stock in the
Hartford and Baltimore County In
surance Companies. There was an
oil lamp kept burning constantly
near the partition of the oilroom.
1t may have exploded. This seems
to be the general opinion, as the
fire was discovered in the oilroom.
Among the hard workers at the fire
was Congressman William B.
Baker.

SWEPT BY A TORNADO
Seven Persons Killed and Their
Bodies F~riyhtfully Mangled
DesoIated Illinois Homestead-It was Torn
to Fragments and Scattered To the -Four
Winds-Nsrruw Escape OF the Town
of San Jose-Othsr Damages

SAN JOSE. Ill, July 3I.-A terrible
calamity befell this Little city last
night. A tornado struck this region
at seven o'clock, and left death and de-
strucCion in its wake. At IL o'clock
seven deaths had been reported, and
three more persons were severely in
jured. 1t is probable that there were
other casualties in outlying districts,
which will be reported later.
After a day OF terrible heat, about six
o'clock the clouds began to gather and
the air grew thick and oppressive. The
heavy nimbuses in the north especially
grew dark. Every n instinctively
feared the coming of a tornado.
About seven O'Clock, quite suddenly,
darkness fell upon the earth, broken
here and there by vivid flashes of light
ming. Soon with a rush and roar came
q tornado from the north, carrying
with it terrifying clouds. Everyone
ran for places of safety, many seeking
refuge in cellars.
1t vas a tornado in all its character
istics, with the funnel-shaped cloud,
the rumble as of heavy wagons and
the frightful greenish color of the sky.
San Jose escaped damage only because
the storm rose north of the town and
passed above it.
Half an hour after the passage OF
the storm a messenger came gallop-
ing into the town on a foaming horse.
He reported that terrible carnage
and destruction had been wrough,
on the farm of A. C. Mcdowell,
"a miles north, and summoned the as.
sistance of surgeons and the populace.
A rescue party fastened to scene, in
which were all of the village doctors.
A terrible scene was that at the
home of the McDowells. The tornado
had struck the farm at its northern
line and swept across it, cutting path
way of destruction. The Mcdowell
homestead was utterly demolished,
the house twisted from its foun.
dations and torn into fragments, its
timbers and furniture scattered in all
directions. The barn shared the same
fate, and its contents We're blown out
of sight. .
Seven persons were killed here, and
their bodies, mangled and torn, were
scattered about the ruined homestead.
The dead are: A. c. Mcdowell. Mrs.
Samuel Brownlee and three children,
a grandson of A. c. Mcdowell and Jesse
Groves. The injured are Mrs. A. c.
Mcdowell, Charles Mcdowell and Mary
Mcdowell.
The tornado also struck the farm of
John Mcdowell and de stroyed his
barn and fine walnut grove. The
house escaped, the tornado passing
within a few yards of it.
During the passage of the storm il
was dark as midnight, and deluge re-
sembling a cloud-burst followed.
At Mason City lightning struck the
spire of the Presbyterian church and
set it on fire.
