Marietta, O., June 1.-THE factory of
the Marietta Torpedo company blew
up yesterday afternoon and at least
two men, Clyde Porter and Carl Harte,
who were seen with horses when the
accident happened, were killed. The
factory was totally ruined. The eNplo-
sion shook windows all over the city.
Two horses and a wagon were blown
to atoms. Trees for 500 yards were
stripped of foliage and the limbs Of
some trees were strewn with the flesh
OF the two men and of the horses. The
theory is that the explosion was caused
by the carelessness of Porter in unload
ing nitro-glycerin.

The Shooting of Judge Underwood.

A press dispatch from Oklahoma City
hnder date OF June Z, says: A shoot
ing affray occurred yesterday four
miles east of Choctaw City, in which
Judge Henry Underwood, a respected
farmer, was seriously wounded by the
three Filson brothers, of this city.
1t appears that the Eilsons had teen
been over in the Creek country and
were headed this way, when they
camped near Judge Underwood's
house. During the night their horses
got into the orchard and they were
doing some damage to the trees Uu-
derwood sent his son 10 the Filson
camp TO tell them of the damage and he
was met with some pretty strong Ian
guage. Underwood heard the disturb
ance, and taking down his gun started
toward the camp. The Filsons warn
ed him TO stop or they would shoot,
and upon his approach one of them
fred a load OF No. bird shot at
him. The entire charge took effect,
scattering over his body from his knees
20 .he shoulders and penetrating the
abdomen. Another of the boys fired a
revolver without effect, and Under
wood returned the fire, whereupon the
bows hurriedly left on horse eback and
started northward, while the other
two came toward lhis city in the
wagon.
One OF the Filsons has been arrested
and posse is after the others.

Terrible Work at Herman, Neb.

Omaha, Neb., June IA tornado
struck the town of Herman yesterday
evening and wiped the place out of
existence. Herman is place of about
800 inhabitants in the extreme north
ern part of Washington county. 1t is
on the line of the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha railroad. The
tornado wrought fearful destruction.
A conductor on the evening train from
Sioux City passed through the place
not long after the storm and he
SAYS that not a building is left
standing in the town. He him
self counted 12 dead bodies lying
in the streets. The fatalities will un-
doubtedly run up to 100, il not higher.
Advices received up to IL o'clock last
night state that every building in the
town is destroyed except the public
school and one small dwelling, both of
which are on The outskirts. The force
of the wind was terrific as scarce one
piece of any of the many structures de-
stroyed was left intact. The scene in
the streets of the once thriving and
beautiful little town is one of destruc-
tion. Wrecked buildings and broken
furniture scarce recognizable in its di-
lapidated condition are strewn all
around. while dead bodies lie in many
places, the corpses badly disfigured and
some of them hardly recognizable.
