A GREAT STORM.
Swept Audrain Ten Years
Ago This Week.

The Goth of May, 1891, an aw-
full cyclone swept thru Audrain
county from west to east. The cy-
clone swept but a narrow path or
territory and the cloud had also
tornado features. The cyclone
passed Centralia just to the north
and Mexico about six miles north,
the cyclone going directly east to-
ward Laddonia but about one and
half miles west of that place it
turned southeast, striking August
Ahlfeldt's house which was crushed
into kindling wood, where the
twister spent its force. James
Quisenberry, now IL minister in the
Christian Church at st. Louis,
was in this house and made mi
raculous escape. The Ahlfeldt
family was away from home.
But the most appalling happen
ings were to the north of Mexico.
Three persons lost their lives,
houses and barns were torn down,
crops devastated and other de-
struction wrought. The dead
were: Balsen kunkcl, brother of
Henry and Martin kunkcl of this
city. Homer Rodgers and the in
FAINT daughter of John Doerge.
Mrs. Seal was seriously injured as
were also her daughter, Miss Ad lie
Seal, now Mrs. Worsham south
west of Laddonia, Miss Gertie
Fletcher, the nine. year-old daught-
er of John Doerge and many 9th
ers.
There are still many marks of
the cyclone remaining, such as
dead and twisted trunks of trees.
Hailstones as large as saucers fell
Immediately after the storm.
The seasons seem to have chang
ed-as well as the times, socially
and financially-as the clouds for
the last two or three years have
had scarcely any of the threaten
ing features that the clouds for six
or seven years, at this season OF
the year. had previous to that aw.
full storm.

Law Suit Settled.

The following from the st. Louis
Republic will interest many of this
section:
The Court of Appeals Saturday
in affirming the decision of the
lower court in the case of w. Ii.
Triplett against Mrs. Bette Sims,
of Audrain County, states that a
proceeding III the case before a JUS
tice was unlike anything hereto
fore known.
The record shows that Mrs. Sims
received second premium for farm
products at Il fair in Mexico, Mo.
in 1899, and Triplctt fourth pre-
mium; that Triplet sued Mrs. Sims
for $40, the amount of the pre-
MUM, and $50 damages, alleging
that Mrs. Sims exhibit was not
raised on her farm; that on the
day of trial the justice, before
whom the case was to be tried, be-
came i'll and it was agreed that a
lawyer should act in his place.
a verdict for 81 was given
against Mrs. Sims, it is stated
She appealed and the appeal was
dismissed.
Triplett then sued Mrs. Sims
setting up the Judgment in his IA
vor and the costs of the case
amounting to $276.2 %, for which
he asked Judgment. y demurrer
to his suit was sustained and 1t
appealed.
The Appellate Court states there
We're no good grounds for TIT
plaintiff : original cause of action.
Referring to the substitute of a
b. Cluster, the attorney chosen tc
act in place of the justice, the Ap
pellate Court states:
IF the affair was anything bet
ter than mock trial and farce
it was because \. b. Cluster was
de facto Mag istrate. We think h
was not even that, which is tn
most favorable theory for the APP
pellant. If he was these proceed
ings will not lie"
