First Drop Didn't XIII Him Condemned
Mans Nerve Failed Him ut the Last
Had to BE Pumped Full of strychnine

HoUsToN, Tex, June 81. Jim Will
Hanson, a Young man, was hanged
yesterday at Wharton for his COM
plicity in the murder of the Crocker
family last May. Williamson's nerve
failed him at the last, and it was
necessary twice to inject strychnine
into him to enable him to mount the
scaffold He declared his father, also
indicted for the crime, was innocent.
Williamson was pronounced dead by
the attending physicians three min
utcs after the drop fell, but upon being
cut down was found to be alive. The
body was hauled up and again sent
through the drop, and was allowed to
hang twenty-five minutes. The first
drop was very hurried, as the con-
demned man nearly tainted when the
moose was adjusted.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 2.6-The most
ever known swept over this city last
evening, injuring scores of people,
some probably fatally, and destroying
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty. Topeka last night looked like a
city that had withstood a lombard
ment by modern war guns. There
were not dozen buildings in town
that were not almost windowless, and
many roofs were caved in.
Hailstones ranging in size from that
of II hen egg to that of an ostrich egg
began falling at 6:15 p. M. and for
twenty minutes or more the lombard
ment continued. Thirty minutes after
the storm, one hail stone was picked
up which measured fourteen inches in
circumference,
The heaviest losses were sustained

company, Hall Lithograph company
and Keith block. Nearly all the glass
in the north and west sides of these
buildings was broken. Halls ma
chinery was badly damaged The
Western Union Telegraph company
also sustained heavy losses Sky
lights were completely shattered and
greenhouses were utterly demolished.
The hail played havoc with the heavy
glass on the state house dome, and
shattered heavy glass in the govern
ment building and Rock Island depot.
At Washburn, number of expensive
colored windows donated by different
people were broken. More than twen-
ty runawayS were reported

THREE CYCLONES IN ONE.
Funnel Shaped Clouds Cause Heavy
Damage to Kansas Farms.

Damage To Kansas Farms.
LARNED, Kan. June 2G Twenty
five prostrations in the harvest fields
are reported. The heat reached its
climax Wednesday morning at :
o'clock when three funncl-shaped cy-
clone clouds were seen lowering over
the northwestern quarter of the coun-
ty. They appeared to revolve with
frightful velocity, but struck tho
ground only at long intervals. The
intense heat which prevailed at the
time is attributed to these clouds.
Wherever they struck they licked up
everything touched Farm houses,
barns, wind mills and cattle sheds
were wrecked. One man barn, gran
airy, wind mill and wagon, which
stood in the yard, were whislled off
and carried away, and he was left in
his house untouched, helpless wit
ness of the wreck Numbcrless freaks
of this nature are reported. Scarcely
II farmer in the west half of the coun-
W escaped damage, and the loss will
fall heavily upon many who are un-
able to sustain it.
