ELLIOTT NOT PROSECUTED
No Exposition People Appear Ia
Have Disturber of Peace
Punished.

When the case against Tannie Elliott for
disturbing the peace was called no one ap-
peared to prosecute and thereupon Judge
Gordon discharged him. Elliott is the
young colored fellow who smashed a couple
OF soldiers over the head with a beer bottle
the other night at the exposition grounds.
After the soldiers had dislodged him from
his entrenched position and robbed him OF
ammunition he ran to the headquarters OF
the guards and requested protection. 1t
was given him until he could be turned over
to the local police, who lodged him in the
city Jail.
Elliott said that when the soldiers were
attacking him several of the exposition
guards stood around and made no attempt to
quiet the disturbance or to assist him.
A similar action upon the part of the
guard occurred Wednesday night, when
George Dosius was followed from the grounds
by half dozen walters, who pummelled
him at the entrance until several citizens
interposed. Some of these citizens were
handled roughly while at least two of the
exposition guards stood by and watched the
trouncing.

A1NsWoRTH, Neb., July 7.-(Special Tel
egram. mo fatalities have been noted
along the path of Wednesdays cyclone other
than the death of Mrs. Lockmiller, who was
buried yesterday afternoon, the entire Ger
man element OF that portion of the country
turning out to the funeral. Hundreds are
continually travelling along the route of
the storm and incidents showing the queer
antics of the funnel-shaped demon are
topics OF general conversation. Subscription
papers for the relief OF those who lost
most heavily by the storm already amount
to hundreds of dollars and our people are
proving mcst generous givers.
Ainsworth is again assuming its normal
appearance after the effects Of Tuesday s
hailstorm. Every available mechanic has
been busy night and day and the barri-
caded fronts of store buildings and broken
windows of residences are rapidly giving
way to the old order of things. The loss
to Ainsworth by the storm is estimated at
not less than $4,000, while the less to stock
and crops is being continually added to as
reports come in and no figures can be even
approximately given.

LINCOLN July 7.-(Special Telegram.)-
The new scandal in popocratic circles in
connection with the state hatcheries is en-
crossing somewhat of public attention. Tho
resignation OF O'Brien was no surprise, as
1t has been understood for some time that
an investigation would soon be made that
would force him to let go. Part of the row
comes from the fact that several hungry
fusionists have been promised places that
have not materialized and are CUNNING for
vacancies. The appointment OF j. P. Rouse
OF Alvo was made today, to succeed ]. s..
Kirkpatrick, on the commission.

this afternoon about o'clock, Thornton,
the S-year-old son OF Rev. and Mrs. w. S.
Pryse, was swept away by strong cur
rent and drowned in Long Branch. The
companions gave the alarm and search
was instituted something like 200 people
Joining in the effort. The body was not
found until about o'clock this evening,
when 1t was located on pile of drift wood
in the Nemaha, about two miles below
where the accident occurred. Long Branch
had been considerably swollen by recent
rains, but was falling rapidly at the time
the body was found. Rev. Pryse is pastor
of the Presbyterian church of this city.

JOHNSTOWN, Neb, July ITO the Ed
itor Of The Bee: At noon OF the 5th the
heat was extreme aud as l drove to town
cloud in the west which promised rain
by night rapidly developed and spread over
the sky like a dark pail. From its north
ern edges rain was falling, while mufied
thunder came from different parts OF the
fiat mass of cloud. Almost overhead l no.
ticed space where the clouds assumed the
form of rays around a center, which pierced
to the blue depths of the summer sky above
and which played conspicuous part in the
terrible elimination of the combined forces
Of wind, hail and rain which followed. By
the time 1 reached Johnstown the cloud had
spread far east and north and from the
rear very heavy rain was falling. Then
all at once small clouds marshaled them
selves around the center spoken of, forming
ring upon ring of all threatening shades
of gray and indigo, revolving in circle
and each ring revolving upon an axis of its
own. Perhaps l can best convey the idea
by saying that the clouds were in a state Of
ebulliton, or boiling turning and whirling
in every direction. The whole looked like
a dome, or inverted vortex, every part OF
which was in motion and blazing with
electric fire.
Then about two miles north lofty dun
colored pillar of dust arose, driven by
hurricane and moving to the east. l sat
and looked with awe and dread at a phe-
nomenon which / knew to be carrying de-
struction, perhaps death, in it's course and
with swiftness and fury no human power
could resist. For several minutes this
scene lasted, when the dust settled and
long, light-gray column appeared about six
miles away, extending from the vortex of
the storm to the earth. From a distance
it appeared to be about the size of the
standpipe of ordinary waterworks, perpen-
dcular and uniform in size from top to
bottom. At top it was surrounded by
circle of clouds like inverted cones the
bottom l could not see because of slight
elevation between 1t and the point of OBJ
servation. Its progress, east, appeared to
be slow, but with wind and hail and
deluge Of water the destructive waterspout
swept on.
At the end of about half an hour its
power seemed spent and 1t first of all as
sumed the appearance OF long, narrow sack,
ending in a point, and finally 1t melted
away, or withdrew into the clouds which
had congregated around it. 1t passed just
north of Ainsworth to the Joy and gratitude
OF the people and had no power for harm
when it reached Long Pine. Along its track
are ruined crops, dismantled or shattered
homes, dead. or dying, cattle and human
beings. The financial loss will reach to
hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
