CYCLONE
STRIKES DAWSON.
Houses are Blown Away And Uu
rooted.
A DOZEN FINE MULES KILLED.
Wind WhistIed With Greatest Fury
as it Leveled Houses or Unroofed
Buildings, A. Partial List of the Sc
we're Losses There.

Parties arriving in Americas from
Dawson yesterday gave brief particu-
lars of the fearful cyclone which struck
that city in the early mornidg, twisting
houses in shapeless heaps and doing
great damage.
The entire tale of terror could not be
learned here.
Both the telegraph and telephone
wires were down, and all communica-
tion was cut off up to late hour yes
terday evening.
However. the particulars brought
here revealed to some extent the dam
age wrought. The cyclone struck in
the vicinity of the Central Railway
depot, where the greatest damage was
done to that building.
The entire roof was carried away
and the building otherwise very seri-
ously damaged.
It is said that the roof of the Dawson
Grocery Co.'S. building, large brick
structure, was neatly rolled up and
carried entirely away.
The Negro Baptist Church and Odd
Fellows Hall were blown down, or
nearly so, while dozen negro houses
in Sardis, surburb, were leveled with
the ground, All of the frightened i'm
mates escaped injury.
The oil mill was unroofed, as was
several other large houses.
Perhaps the greatest loser by the
sudden but fearful storm was Mr.. G9
w. Dozier, farmer, who is row n
Americas attending superior court.
It is said that the stockade and barn
on his plantation was carried away and
that eleven fine mules were killed by
the falling timbers. Mr.. Dozier's crop
loss may also be very considerable.
The cyclone struck Dawson at z
clock, about the time of the cloud
burst here in Americus.

BLACK PICNICKERS
UNDER INDICTMENT.
Andersonville Pistol Swingers Are in
Hook.
TWRNTY-THREE ARE CoRRALED
And Twenty of The Gang Already
Indicted. Pistols And Whiskey in
Abundance. It Was The Greatest
Haul at Andersonville.

The grand jury took a whack yester'
day at the gang of twenty-three ne
groes arrested by Sheriff Bell and the
litary companies at Andersonville
the dag before, with the result that
twenty have already been indicted and
the remaining three care a burning.
They are pretty near base, and will
go with the others today when witness
SEES sent for appear here.
The twenty-three prisoners were
marched to Jail between a double file
of soldiers and the cheerful sight OF
shining bayonets dispelled any idea of
escape. They were tied up in blocks
of four when brought here.
It was indeed a weird and rather IN
usual spectacle.
Twenty-one of the twenty three had
pistols when the officers nabbed them.
These are divided into two classes: one
having pistols concealed, while the
other displayed the guns.
The concealed weapon gang were
Frank Fuller, Geo. Woods, Sam Doug
las, Bidney :Gibson, Prince Fletcher,
Woodie Oorley, RUFUS Bishop, "Kid''
Willis and Homer Jemison. Such is
the charge against them.
Allen Jackson, levi Bailey, Jesse
Respass, Bob Jones, Eddie Jones, Will
Burnham, Neb Washington, LoUKett
James, Angie Birdsong, Alex Riley
and George Hobson made up the con-
tlngent who wore their beautiful guns
publicly and with pride,
The remaining two negroes, Lewis
Collier and Ross Hardaway, are charg-
ed with simple larceny.
The twenty-three pistols captured
were all fine guns, Sheriff Bell says, as
the average black pistol lugger will
have no other kind. The officers also
captured about seven gallons of whis-
key from the same gang.

GRAIN Is RUINED BY THE RAIN.
Fearful Downpour Did Considerable
Damage.


The most severe rainstorm ofthe year
swept over this section yesterday.
Great damage was done on the farms.
and the erstwhile beautiful fields oil
grain, both wheat and oats, are very
nearly destroyed.
The damage near Americas will
amount to very large sum.
Where two days ago the grain stood
waist high, awaiting the reaper, it was
blown heller SHELTER by the wind yester-
day and pounded into the ground by
the hard rain.
For several hours it poured down in
torrents. Fields of cotton and grain
were alike damaged and the ruin will
be considerable.
Many farmers had left their grain
shocked in the field, awaiting an op-
portunity to store ii, and portion of
this will be saved. The high wind yes
terday likewise did damage to the fields
and orchards.
From all sections come reports of
the ruin wrought by yesterdays fear
