Rain, Wind and Hail Does Much
Damage Near Aberdeen-Farm
Buildings and Windmills Wrecked
and Wheat Pounded Into Ground
Crons Totally Destroxed.

A good rain fell in the vicinity of Aber-
deem Sunday, July 80, the first in several
weeks. Near Houghton severe wind and
hail storm is repor:ed. Crops in the track
of the storm were totally destroyed Wind
and hail did considerable damage near
Fredericks, Hillview and other points.
Later reports from the storm indicate its
being the most destructive that ever visited
this section of the State. The storm formed
west of Aberdeen and divided, one part
going north and the other south of that
city, Heavy hail and high wind accompa-
Enied the storm, doing immense damage to
crops and farm property.
Great losses from hail are reported around
Hillvew, Eureka, Frederick and Hough-
ton. The hail in places piled up foot
deep. Scores of farmers lost the entire
crop. Farm buildings and windmills were
wrecked all over the country in the track
of the storm. Near Frederick several
buildings were destroyed and great dam
age was done by hail near Houghton in a
strip three miles wide and several miles
long. The crops were all pounded into
the ground. Nothing is left of wheat fields
which were good for twenty bushels per
acre.
West Of Mansfield the crops were entirely
wiped out in strip four miles wide and as
many miles long.

Awful Crime OF an Old Grocer at
Fort Wayne, Ind.
Fort Wayne, Ind: William Hilller, a
grocer of this city, is under arrest on the
charge Of criminal assault. The case is a
most revolving. Hilker is about so years
old, a widower with two grown children.
Minnie Reamer, aged l6, living in the out.
skirts, got into the wagon to ride back to
the city with Hilker. The latter, instead
of driving back to the city, drove east from
town to a roadhouse four miles distant.
What happened after that the girl cannot
tell.
Some farmers caught Hlker in a
drunken condition with the girl in the
wagon beaten into Inconsistencies, with
her clothes torn to shreds. Hilker at
tempted to escape, but the farmers pursued
him and Hilker threw the girl out of the
wagon, but held to her foot and she was
dragged along in this manner for two
miles, the horse going at a gallop. The
girl is unable to tell what happened or to
recognize her relatives.

AWFUL DEED OF BLOOD.
infatuated Man Nearly Sewers Head
of 13.Ynar-Oid Girl

OF 13-Hear-Oid Girl.
Washington: A horrible murder was
committed Sunday in the northeastern
section Of the city. The murderer was
Benjamin FL. Smell, civil examiner in the
Pension Department, man about As years
ot age. His victim was Liza Wissenber-
ger, girl of 13 years, who had been en-
ployed in his household until few months
ago, when she was taken home by her
parents, who became suspicious of SHELLS
conduct towards her. Smell seemed to be
infatuated with the child, and paid her a
great deal of attention, which, however.
she resented. Smell went to his victims
house and entered at the front door, passed
On through the middle room, where the
girl was sleeping, TO the dining room door
While standing at the door the mother
ordered him out of the house. Smell started
to go, passing again through the room
where the Child was. He bent over the
sleeping child and drew her from the bed.
Awakened suddenly she screamed with
terror. Twisting one hand in the girls
hair and throwing back her head Smell
drew razor from his pocket and swept it
across her throat twice. The head was
almost severed from the body, and both
the murderer and his victim were drenched
with blood.
Attracted by the girls screams, the
mother ran to the rescue, grappled with
the murderer and was badly slaShed with
the razor. The murderer attempted to
escape, but was soon captured by the
police and locked up. He refuses to give
an explanation of his acts, and says he re-
members nothing about them. The
murderer has wife and two children.
