WEBSTER CITY. Ia, Nov. 28.-At 8:l5
last night Nick Casey, wealthy
farmer, was brought to the county Jail,
being under $1,000 boads for attempt at
murder. Casey has 1870 acres Of land
aud several thousand dollars, and is no.
to.ious in Kam,ar, near which town he
lives, as an uncomfortable tough and
soandaIous wife beater. His wife al

done it. She sent her sisters to KAN
rar, two miles away, to tell officers Of
her condition. Physicians say she is
dying.
Officers went from Kamrar and ar
rested Casey, aud large crowds gath
cred to mob him. At the depot a riot
prevailed, and had the train been 20
minutes later nothing would have saved
Casey.
Kamrar is seven miles south of here
and when Casey left the cars at the de-
rot to go uphill TO the Jail he was pale
as q ghost aud vrembled like an aspen
leaf. 1t is rumored that a crowd
will come from Kamrar to see if his

not be done unless by special order, the
grand jury having adjourned, they may
threaten summary vengeance and will
notify others at Kamrar, who will come
up later. The Jail is now guarded to
prevent trouble and telephone reports
from there say excitement is intense.
AS showing his treatment Of his wife
that has inspired the community to
such feverish heat, he has not allowed
her to leave the farm for ten years, but
has kept her prisoner. 1t was known
that Casey kept an iron trunk in the
house to which he alone carried the
key, and that it contained substantial
food, from which he alone ate, while
for months at time he compelled his
family to subsist on what food they
could extract from corn in the cribs,
ground up in a small coffee mill. His
family consists Of two grown-up sons
and one daughter.

DEATH AND DISTINCTION WROUGHT
BY THE STORM.

II Steamer Portland Has Gone Down List
Many n Day Before Full Import Ii
Realized Shores Strewn with Wrecks.
Boston, Nov. 29.-It is known def
nitely that more than 70 lives have been
lost in the wrecks of tugs, schooners
and coal barges during the storm of
Saturday night and Sunday morning,
and if the steamer Portland has now
gone down, as seems possible, the list of
casualties will rise to 140, with over 100
vessels of all descriptions ashore, two
score of them to be wrecks and an un-
known number probably beneath the
waves of Massachusetts bay.
There is scarcely bay, harbor or in
let from the Penobscot to New London
that has not on its shores the bones of
some staunch craft, while along Massa-
chusets bay. and especially Boston har-
Dor, the beaches are piled high with
the wreckage of schooners and coal
barges.
The record is still incomplete, for that
ocean graveyard of Cape God is still to
be heard from.
The annoyance and inconvenience of
the railroad and street car embargo COW
ering the whole of southe New Eng
land sunk into insignificance before the
story of destruction wrought by wind
and wave, yet it will be many day be-
fore the full import Of the disaster is
known or even realized.
The islands of Boston harbor are with
out exception strewn with wrecks and
wreclrage. No less than 20 vessels are
ashore at Gloucester, and over 20 in the
supposed safe harbor OF Vineyard Haven
parted their anchor chains aud are high
and dry on the beach.
Nantasket beach saw two schooners
and coal barge dash to pieces on its
sands, the rocks of Cohasset claimed q
staunch fisherman, Scituate well known
pilot boat, Manchester a down east
lumberman, while one tug and three
barges known to have been between
Cape Cod and Boston are unaccounted
for and probably lost. The upper har-
bors of Boston, Plymouth, Salem, Ports
mouth, Portland and other places where
vessels were supposed to be compare
lively safe were the scenes of numerous
collisions between the ships and the
wharves. Every life saving crew per-
formed deeds Of heroism in rescuing
crews and tug boats risked life and
property in their endeavor to save life.

 The morning following his arrival he went down to the docks to look for a ship. and was particularly struck with two vessels lying side by side-a ship and a brig-both of which were to sail in a day or two on trading trips to Java and the adjacent islands.
 Finally he hit on the ship as the vessel of his choice, and was about to go aboard to apply for the berth he knew was va cant when a dog with a tincan on its tail ran past and he started to chase it. The pursuit brought him far up town where he fell in with some boon companions, and it was two days before he again got down to the wharf. where he found that the ship had sailed and the brig was to go the next day.
 He at once shipped on the brig, and in the morning went to sea in her.
 Seven days afterward they overhauled the burning wreck of the ship, which had been boarded by Chinese pirates, who had murdered every soul on board. Had it not been for the dog, Captain Harding would have been on board her and have shared the fate of the rest
