DEMONIAC WORK.

Shelton, Aug. 22.-The chief of police
OF this place was summoned Sunday to
Isinglass, small outlying village, and
found that a young man named Charles
Thomas had ruined the home of himself
and his aged father and left for parts
unknown.
According to the fathers statement,
the son, on being demonstrated with in
regard to some trivial matter, worked
himself into rage, and, running from
the house, procured an axe. Returning
with this he smashed in all the windows
and their frames, badly hacked the door
and then entering, swung everything
right and left with the axe, smashing
to kindling wood the furniture and
dishes and cutting great seams in the
plaster on the walls.
The father sat at table in the CEN
ter of the room, and, approaching this,
the son demolished it with the axe,
some of the blows falling close to his
aged fathers head. He then took a
horse and carriage belonging to the lat
ter and left, not having been heard from
since.
The home presented a sickly sight af-
ter the fracas and the father is broken
hearted. The father and son were the
only occupants of the house.

With large part Of the affected county.
Clebourne county, Alabama, seems to

the county vary from six to 20 and
many more are said to have been in
jured.
At Sellers and Lnverne, Ala much
damage is reported and at Rob Roy,
Ark, one man was killed and several

practically wiped out Of existence and
several other towns in the vicinity suf-

killed at Hickory Flat, Miss. and as
the farm houses in the vicinity suffered
heavily, it is not unlikely that many
fatalities occurred which have not yet

A Decidedly Novel Claim.

A claim once made on the explorer,
Cameron, in the neighborhood Of Ga-
boon, Africa, shows the peculiar work
ings of the native Africans mind.
Some of Cameron's possessions proved
unduly attractive to a native, and he
determined on transferring the owner
ship to himself. He accordingly paid
another native $500 to procure for him
the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money and did
his best to earn it, but Mr.. Cameron
had perversely locked up the very arti-
sles that the fellows employer had set
his heart upon. The man could not car
~ out his bargain, and neither did he
feel that he could part with the money.
Therefore he ran off with it. What
more logical than that the man who
was the loser by $500 should expect the
explorer to make the loss good? This he
assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr.. Cameron and told
him the story, demanding in the first
place the $500 which he, Cameron, by
locking up his goods, had compelled the
complainant to lose, and, secondly, the
actual price Of the goods themselves,
which, but for these arbitrary measures,
would now have been in his possession.
It is not stated that his expectations
were realized.
