indianapolis. Ind, May "a re-
markable operation has been Per
formed by DIR. Sterne and several col
leagues at the City hospital The pa
tient was Thomas De GOlyer, dray-
man of Anderson, Ind. who on Jan.
4 was the victim of IL peculiar acci-
dent. De Golyer was under his dray
making some repairs when his horse
ran away. His overcoat caught OH
the axle. He was doubled up and
turned two complete somersaults in
Il narrow space.
When picked up he was conscious,
though his neck was broken and his
I ody pGralyZed from the neck down.
DIR. Sterne removed 4 portion Of the
yertebra and announces that De Col
yer will recover. though the long time
which elapsed between the injury and
the operation has rendered the patient
exceedingly weak.

A Corkscrew steeple.

The steeple of the parish church at
Chesterfield, England. is often called
the "corkscrew,' steeple, for it has got
quite a big twist. This is due TO the ac-
ton of the sun on the wooden and iron
materials, and the warping is more pro-
nounced in the case of Chesterfield
church than in any other church in
England. Barnstable and Bristol and
one or two other places have leaning
steeples, but their tendency is decided
" to ''lean' and not to twist" The
church at Chesterfield is the nearest
rival in the United Kingdom to the
leaning tower at Pisa.

LONG RIDE OF A TOT

Back.

Jackson. Mich. May 9--This is the
way Marvin Powell, a 4-year-old jack
son boy. came to take q trip all alone
to Ann Arbor on the rear platform of
a fast Michigan Central train: The
babe. who is the son of Mrs. Martha
Powell. a widow, was playing about the
station, and while a crowd of passen-
gers was going through the gate TO the
1U:C5 train east, the little fellow also
slipped through and boarded the train
He was soon missed by the mother,
who notified the police. y dispatch was
sent TO the station agent at Ypsilanti,
giving d description Of the lad, and
asking him to keep the child there. The
agent found him in the hands of the
puzzled train crew, and in response to
a second dispatch placed him on the
afternoon train for the west. He ar
rived home all safe, apparently well
pleased with his trip.

storm that swept over this region last
Tuesday settled bet that was made
twenty-five years ago. and Method
ist church was mixed up in the wager.
over two decades ago Zack Snyder
and C. \. Mix concluded to put up a
joke on II. y. Jewett, then, as now.
Il cigar dealer in this city. The two
went into Jewett'S store and told him
that they had just made Il bet of a
box of 1O-cent cigars. the latter to be
paid for by the loser when the bet was
decided.
Jewett turned over n box of fine
HaVanaS to the pair. Then he was told
that Mix had bet Snyder that when
the Methodist steeple would blow over
it would fail north. but that Snyder
held out that it would go toward the
east. In all Of these years the trio
has been anNiOuSly waiting for old
BOreaS to decide the wager. Jewett

feet of the lofty structure and piled
it over on the road to the east, and

what the BIsIS Did to David Hardin
Havoc at Lohrville.
David Hardin was caught in the
path of the storm. and fifteen min
utes after it had passed was found
hanging TO Il tree. He was uncon-
scious all night and cannot recall
what happened to him. Eye witnesses
say that the tornado did not occupy
more than one minute in passing
through the town. The direction was
west To east. Wires are down i'm the
neiShborhOOd and communication with
the town is almost impossible. An
other severe storm is reported To have
taken place five miles north of Rippcy,
Green county, and fifteen miles from
Bayard. The school house was de-
stroyed and the barns of {. II. Fleet
wood, John Montgomery and J. "
Moore were carried away and reduced
to kindling wood.
Six We're injured. one fatally. near
LOhrville. 100 miles northwest of here.
and this was the third tornado within
an hour in as many different sections
of the state. The residence of a farm
er, j. w. Munirni, was in the path
Of the storm at Lohrville. and the
father, mother and four children SuS-
tanned serious injuries. The mothers
skull was fractured and she will die.
The house and OutbuildiEgs were de-
mOliShed. y school was torn TO pieces
and other buildings in the neighbor-
hood were wrecked. The tornado was
followed by Il terrific hail storm that
broke windows in many houses.
From AdaZa. Green county. comes
the report that Mrs. Harvey Miner
and two children were seriously in
jured and will die as a result of the
tornado in that village. Farnhamville.
in the same county. is said To have
suffered severely. not n building in
the place escaping from being injured.
1t is almost impossible to get the facts.
as the town is Off from the railroad
and the telephone wires are down At
Hiteman, in Monroe county. two farm
houses were destroyed and several
head of cattle are reported to have
been killed by falling timber i'm barns.
Cedar Rapids. Ia, May 3.-'The tor
nado which struck Bayard swept
across the country and did great dam
age to crops. farm buildings and agri-
cultural interests. Following the wind
there was a deluge of rain which in
some places reached nearly the pro-
portions of a waterspout. The wind
at this place reached velocity of sew
enty miles an hour and blew down
signs. y number of small buildings
were damaged. All the wires along
the St Paul road are down and
number of poles were broken.

SOLVES THE MYSTERY
Young Farm Hand Confesses That
He Killed His En-
pIoyer.

Hammond, Ind, May 2. - Arthur
Meyer, a 1O-year-old Lowell lad, has
confessed that he killed his employer,
Douglas Craft. a farmer. on April IS.
The tragedy. which created great SEN
sation, was heightened by Meyers for
mer assertions that Craft had shot at
him and then committed suicide. Craft
lay in the barn where he was shot for
twelve hours without his wife coming
near him.
Owing to the fact that Crafts clothes
were not powder burned. Meyer was ar
rested, and to his attorney and the
sheriff at Kankakee made a full confess
sion. He acknowledged that he shot
himself in the arm to carry out the inn
preston that his employer had first
tried TO murder him, and then commit
ted suicide.
