storm Destroys Property In the Town
of Bradley.

Bradley, Neb., June 27.--Early Sun
day morning a twister struck this
thriving village and wrecked it. The
storm came from the north with tre-
mendous roar and aroused every body
from bed. Floyd A. Walworth was
caught in the debris and seriously
hurt. The post office was totally
wrecked. The ground was plowed up
by the wind and some stock killed.

The San Francisco call., 1899-07-09

%HROUGH the portals Of a new
made grave on Lone Mountain
has entered into q unique niche
in history one of those martial
figures that, living in one cen
tury, appear to have been controlled by
the daring spirit of former age. The
simple headstone informs the infre-
quent visitor to the city Of the dead
that beneath reposes the clay of Colonel
Alfred Swingle.
The story of Colonel Swingle's life
discounts the most thrilling romances
of a Mayne Reid or an Aimard.
In any one chapter Of his varied life
there is material sufficient to furnish
forth the most realistic melodrama. In
his short campaign in Nicaragua in 1857
with Walker the manner of the man is
probably better to be determined than
in any other period of his life. 1t
stamped him as not only an intrepid
and active leader, but as man fertile
in resources, any or all of which he
brought into play as the circumstances
might require. At the siege of Rivas

Swingle was the great filibuster's
chief Of artillery, and, as such, was in
direct charge of the guns. These were
six-pounders, which he managed with
damaging effect until his supply Of can
non balls gave out. Equal to the occas-
sion, he began Immediately the manu-
facture of substitutes, by making in the
sand holes of the proper size, filing
them with small scraps of iron and
pouring in melted lead. When they
cooled he had serVieeable shot until the
supply of lead and small bits of iron
gave out. Then he had TO turn to again

physics. He had enough to enable him
to build a crude furnace with hot air
blast which enabled him to melt large
pieces of metal, with which he cast the
first iron cannon balls ever made in
Central America. When he ran out of
iron he transformed into round shot all
the old church bells he could find, and
used them as a convincing argument
against the enemy. Even this sort Of
