northern part of C1eburne county,
near Iron City, and moving south
ward Those who saw it say that
there was an immense funnel-shaped
cloud, and that it bounded along like
a rubber ball, rising at intervals and
leaping for several hundred yards
without doing any damage. Then,
when it descended, it would pick up
houses and crush them to pieces, up
root trees or twist them off level wit b
the ground, and sweep all before it.
Lewis Coffee's residence, a strong
double log house, situated on little
hill, was in the path of the storm. It
was swept away and the timbers scat
tered for mile Ten of its eleven
occupants were instantly killed. Ex-
cept the body of the baby, which was
found under the ruins of the chimney,

Judge Philips Aroused Over the St Clair
County Court Middle
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 2o-Not
only the st. Clair county judges, but
J. d. Campbell, the clerk, and Hugh
Decker, the sheriff of that county, are
liable to criminal prosecution for their
conduct in obstructing and evading
the process of the United States court,
which ordered that a warrant be is
sued and tax levied to pay ST. Clair
county's railroad debt. Judge Philips
said from the bench in the federal
court:
IT have not evoked all the federal
laws in this st. Clair county case
There is a criminal side of the stat
utes that covers this sort of con-
spiracy against the administration of
the law. This course can not be toll
Grated any longer. I'll exhaust every
weapon in the whole armory of justice
to put a stop to this thing. The
county clerk and sheriff in aiding and
abetting the judges in obstructing the
process of the court have committed a
crime, for it is a criminal offense to
obstruct or impede the process or order
of the court
The punishment for such an offense
as laid down by the statutes is i'm
prisonment for not more than twelve
months in Jail or a fine of not to ex-
coed $500.
