Omaha, Neb., May ga special to

Word reached town Sunday afternoon
of a disastrous and fatal cyclone which
passed over the country in the vicinity
of Bijou hills, % miles south of this city,
Saturday afternoon between four and
five O'Clock, resulting in the death OF
seven persons and RI" serlous INJURY
of two others. The killed are: Charles
Peterson and six children, the latter be-
ing four boys and three girls, ranging
from three to fifteen years old. The
wife and two remaining children were
so badly injured they may also die.
The cyclone formed on a section in
plain view of hundreds and moved in
q southerly course, the first place
reached being that of Ara Coden, which
was totally destroyed. The storm then
destroyed a church and a schoolhouse,
after which it reached the Peterson
place, where the execution done was
simply appalling.
Strcwn All Over.
The dead and injured were strewn
all about the premises, all being bruised
and MANNED in shocking manner,
while the buildings were smashed to
splinters.
After doing its worst here, the cy
clone destroyed the Criegor premises,
then passing into the range of
hills, skirting the Missouri river,
where it appears to have been dissolved.
The path covered by the storm was
only about 90 rods wide and about
three miles in length. The wind was
accompanied by a heavy fall OF rain
and hail, the latter being as large as
goose eggs. The cyclone was fearfully
destructive, everything in its course be-
ing completely destroyed, a large
amount of stock also being killed.

replied that the first can he saw opened

had been on sea trips before and was
never seasick. The men of his
company complained of the meat
and the commissary sergeant re-
! fused to accept 1t. Some
of the meat was given to the surgeon
major who tasted it and said it was all
right. The sergeant commissary was
compelled to accept it, but did so under
protest. Nearly all the men of his
battalion were sick throughout most o
the VOYAGE as u result of eating this
meat. Colonel Davis, the recorder, or
dered a can opened and asked witness
if il was the same he had used III th'
service. Witness said it bore no re
semblance to the campaign article
The cans he had seen were ditferen
