swallows his meal at a gulp so he can

this up day after day, year after year,

FITz MAY CHALLENGE AGAIN.
Meanwhile He Has Plenty of Money and
Wants No Benefit.

New York, June 13.-Manager Brady,
for Jeffries, and Manager Julian, for
Fitzsimmons, met last night and dis
cussed the advisa bility of giving a bene-
fit for Fitzsimmons at the Coney Island
Athletic club next Saturday night AT
the conclusion of the conference Martin
Julian stated that no benefit would be
held.
He said: ''Fitzsimmons is not in need
of money; he was not in need of money
before the fight with Jeffries, which
netted him a handsome sum, and he
does not care for a benefit. 1t is quite
probable that Fitzsimmons Will, within
the next ten days, challenge Jeffries
to meet him again in the near future in
another fight for the heavyweight
championship"

wHIRLING TERROR NEAR HUDSON.
Formation Witnessed by Hundreds
Everything I'm Its Path DESTROYED.

Minneapolis, June ia special to The
Tribune from Hudson says: One of the
most terrible cyclones ever witnessed by
the citizens of Hudson passed through
the country here at about $50 d. m. 1t
formed in a waterspout four miles south
of Hudson on Lake St. Croix 1t was
witnessed by hundreds of people. and
seemed to follow the lake and to be
making directly for the city, but about
two miles south it veered to the east and
left the lake and crossed the country. 1t
was about twenty rods wide and de-
strOyed everything in its track The
first building struck was over on the
farm of F. G. Mattison. One edge of
the storm struck the buildings, twisting
his barn out of shape and throwing his
windmill some rods.
1t then struck the Gridley farm. The
family. seeing it coming, fled for a large
stone quarry about twenty rods from
the house, where they remained safely
until it passed. The house is a small
brick one and held to the foundation
but the angles were torn from the roof.
The cyclone veered to the north, leaY-
ing buildings unharmed but tearing
large oak trees three feet in diameter
out by the roots ana twisting them into
every conceivable shape. About one-half
buildings of H. S. Mattison. Just before
the storm reached the place the family
and farm help fed for the cellar. The
cellar door had just closed when the
crash came. This place was directly in
the line of the storm, and not a build
ing. tree, wagon or piece of machinery
is left whole.
The house was completely swept from
its foundation, and nothing remained
but the floor. which covered the people
in the cellar. Not one of them was
harmed. Every piece OF furniture was
carried for rods and literally torn into
shreds. Beside the house there were
two large barns. machine sheds and out
buildings, and all were destroyed. Forty
cattle and about 100 sheep cannot be
found. w. ]. Gilpin. who was passing
at the time, drove in there for shelter
but was unable to reach the cellar. He
says il was not over two seconds after
tl,a cyclone struck him before it was all
over and he found himself under part
of a lumber wagon with timbers, horses
and machinery everywhere about him.
He was unhurt, but badly shaken up.
The storm passed on to the northeast
destroying everything in its wake and
was followed by rain in torrents and
terrible lightning. The Gridley barn
which was left standing was struck by
lightning by the later storm and burned.
Telegraph and telephone wires are all
blown down and adjoining towns can
not be heard from.
