Wright is a grocer at New Augusta and

was on the witness stand the greater part
of the day, and claimed that the defendant
became engaged to her about Dec. 20, 1901
and they were to have been married the
Christmas following.
1t was claimed that the plaintiff often re-
asserted his engagement. The wedding was
postponed from Dec. % until May Is the
following year.
The defense opened it's case by putting
the defendant on the stand and introducing
a number of letters that Wright received
from the bride TO have been. The only let

Indifferent suitor.
1t contained pathetic and ardent en-
treaties TO the one she loved 10 return and
show her the attention of which she was

you don't love me. then you love some one

loves you more than anybody in the world
and thinks of you ever. Don't forsake me
any longer, don't stay away, but come,

TORNADO SWEEPS OVER
THREE MISSOURI TOWNS
Many Buildings Are Wrecked and
One Man Is Fatally
Injured.
HAIL A FOOT DEEP
Stones as Large as Hen Eggs Fall
Following the Terrific
Windstorm.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 21-A special
to the Times from Higginsville, Mo-. says
fifty buildings gre partly wrecked. one man
is fatally injured and several others are
hurt, the town is in darkness and the
streets strewn with debris as the result of
a tornado and haistorm which struck this
place at 4:45 o'clock this afternoon. .
The hail on the streets was a foot deep
within five minutes after the storm came
and some of the stones were as large as
men eggs. Dozens of trees in the town were
blown down and several horses were killed
on the street.
The storm came without warming The
wind and hail came first and were followed
by a terrific downpour of rain, which
flooded nearly every cellar in the town. The
storm came from the west travelling east

1t kept within narrow path. at least
the tornado portion, only about two blocks
of the business portion of this place being
damaged. Corder and Alma were in the path
of the storm and are said to be consider
ably damaged. According to the meager
reports which came here tonight, several
houses in both places have been wrecked,
but the exact extent of the damage is not
known.
The grocery store of j. w Ensley. in
the business part of Higginsville, was
wrecked by the storm John Holzen. a
clerk, was fatally injured and probably
will not live through the night One leg is
broken in two places and he is internally
injured.
1t is estimated that 1900 windows were
broken by the force of the storm. Owing to
the fact that the electric light wires are all
down and the electric plant damaged the
town will be in darkness all tonight and
probably tomorrow night. Little progress
can be made in the darkness and the dam
age may be greater than first supposed.
The most careful estimate of the financial
loss is SAC. 600
