Terrific STORM IN IOWA.
Three Members Of Family Killed
Near Sioux City.
FATHER. MOTHER AND SON DEAD
The House of John Malloy, with It's In
mates, Lifted In the Air by the Wind
None of the Occupants Escaped In
tury-Otber Casualties.

Sioux City, Iowa, June ia tor
nado struck one-half mile from the
town OF Salix, near Sioux City, at $3.50
O'Clock Sunday evening, almost wiping
one family out of existence. The dead
are:
JOHN MALLOY, farmer.
KATE MALLOY, his wife.
y. HARRY 'MALLOY, 16-year-old son.
The injured are:
Bessie Malloy, 10 years old; skull
fractured; will die.
Thomas Malloy, IS years old; leg
mangled and injured internally. .
Fred Malloy. 26 years old; back inn
jured; serious.
Pat Malloy, IA years old; collarbone
broken and back wrenched; will re-
cover.
Jack Malloy, "a years old; arm cut
and body injured; slight.
When the storm came the Malloy
family had just got up from the sup
per table. Dick Malloy saw the cloud
and told the family to go to the cellar.
The members went and Dick went
across the road to the home of Mrs.
Cora Hassel, who is a widow with
seven children. He took them to the
cellar, and when their house was
blown away they were uninjured. The
man had to grab the legs of little
boy to keep him from being sucked
out Of the cellar by the air.
The Malloy>, family remained in the
cellar only few minutes. It's mem
bers had no more than ascended the
stairs when the funnel-shaped cloud
struck, and they were hurled In the air
with the flying timbers.
The homes of Philip Burger, Joseph
Bernard, Patrick O'Neill and Mrs. Has
sci are all close together, and only the
O'Neill dwelling escaped. The other
houses were scattered for half mile.
With the exception of the Malloys, the
families remained In the cellars until
their homes had gone, and they found
themselves unhurt.
A freight train was stopped before
II ran into the storm, and the con-
ductor took the injured to Sioux City,
where they were placed In hospitals.
After wiping up the houses in this
district, the storm seemed to rise, and
was not heard of again. At Homer,
Neb., mountaineering tent was blown
over and an unknown woman fatally
injured. At Leeds, north Of Sioux City,
a cloudburse flooded the streets of the
town but little damage is reported.

A Boys Strange Deed.

The 5-year-old son of Christian Mey-
ers, of near Centerville, was burned to
death, together with five horses, 700
bushels of corn and farm utensils
which were in the barn. Mr.. Meyers
was planting potatoes in the field adj
joining, and had his 5-year-old son
with him. He had not noticed his
boys absence until the alarm of fire
was given. The boy was found in an
oat bin partly buried in the oats after
the fire had spent its fury, burned be-
yond recognition. 1t is thought the
boy set the barn on fire with matches
and then became frightened and hid
in the oat bin, where he persisted. The
barn was insured.

POINTS ABOUT ALAnAsTINr.

Alabastine does good work over old
wall paper, but Is better alone on the
wall, and Is more healthful.
Cracks can be filed with thick Ala
bastine with the brush as the coating
proceeds, and 1t may be used clear or
mixed with plaster or fine sand for
patching.
Alabastine has wonderful advant-
ages as a fireproof coating for the in
terror of factories and barns, either
alone or under paint or over paint,
and for canvas. 1t Is a serious mat
ter to coat a factory with temporary
coats, which will fall from the wood
In time on machinery and stock. as
kalsomine does when repeated.
Every church and schoolhouse wall
should be coated only with Alabas-

yearly for this work.
Alabastine can be vanished by ap-
plying special water enamel over It.

Petrified Bodies Found Near Pontiac
Were In Good state of Preserva-
tion A Tank of Oil Set on by
Lightning Set Lake on Fire,

About midnight on the 5th a north
bound extra on the f. a. p. M. passed
through a severe electrical storm when
one mile south of Rose Centre, and
lightning struck tank car full of oil
while it was passing over a 30-foot
bridge. The explosion was terrific
and could be heard long distance.
Those who saw it claim that the flames
leaped thousand feet high, like rock
cts. The tank car was in the middle
of the train and when the engineer
saw what had happened he took all
the cars that had passed over the
bridge to Rose Centre and then went
to Holly to report. The oil spread
over the surface of the water and
burned for hours. Four cars of iron,
steel and machinery and six empty
box cars were totally destroyed and
the bridge burned to the waters edge.
No deaths are reported.
Petrihed Sheep and Mans Body Found.
While digging in sand pit near
Pontiac, Jack Wilder unearthed pet
rified sheep of more than usual size.
The animal had evidently been buried
for scores of years. The body, head,
legs and tail were perfectly preserved
and the weight was nearly 100 pounds.
Shortly afterwards workman in the
Pearce gravel pit unearthed human
skeleton. The skeleton was also in
perfect condition with the exception
of small hole at the base of the skull.
How any one came to be buried in such
an out-of-the-way place is a mystery,
and it is thought that perhaps the hole
at the base of the skull may have some
connection with the strange burying
place.
