Storm Near Fort Dodge.

special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge. June 3o.-Reports OF the
damage done by last nights storm are
as vet very meager. There has been
two reported thus far. Lightning
struck the house owned by
s. T. Robertson which is located near
Moorland. A bolt crashed into it scat
tering the bricks of the chimney In all
directions and taking off part OF the
roof
Another lightning prank was played
about three and a half miles south
west of town on the dwelling house
standing in the old Gray farm. The
chimney was the seat Of operations as
before. The bolt travelled down the
inside of the chimney and then over
to the cistern, out of which is knocked
a few tiles. Enroute to the cellar
the lightning blew the cap in the
stovepipe hole opening into the parlor
out and completely covered all the
contents of the room with SCOT. A. D.
Loomer, the present occupant of the
farm, said that they were all awake
when the crash came, but were not
aware that the house had been struck
until the peculiar odor of the scattered
SCOT reached the sleeping room. Then
upon examination the amount of the
damage was ascertained.

Lake City, June 3o.-The mystery
in the alleged poisoning OF Cyrus Pratt
was deepened yesterday by the an
nouneement by Mrs. Pratt that VIII
persing, the hired man who is under
arrest with Mrs. Pratt. is to we'd a

motive that the authorities thought
they had discovered.
Yesterday Mrs. Pratt talked freely.

not the faintest idea of how II was
administered" said she. "Persing
gave him medicine occasionally during
the early part of his sickness but I
do not attach any significance to this.
Why should he desire to kill my hus-
band? Not for love of me. because he
is to we'd girl near Fonda July 80.

Accused In the Pratt Case
Are Condemning
POISON FOUND IN STOMACH
Chemist, However,, Will Withhold Re-
port Until Investigation of the EN-
balming of the Body Is Made-Hired
Man and Widow Were Anxious
About the Life Insurance.
Special to Times-Republican


Auburn, June 30.-The Pratt poison
ing case continues to be a source of
such excitement here. Word has
reached here that the chemist at Des
Moines found quantities of arsenic in
! the dead mans stomach sufficient to
have caused death. The report of the
chemist, however, will not be made Of
ficially until he has ascertained wheth-
er the body of Pratt was embalmed
and if so an examination of the em-
balmng fluid will be made. In the
meantime Mrs. Pratt freely acknow-
bought arsenic in the drug store at
Yetter's and signed the register both
times. Will Kersing the hiredman is
alleged to have stated the DAY the fur
that no poison had been bought nor
was any used about the place, which is
in contradiction to the statement made
by Mrs Pratt. There are, however,
many suspicious circumstances in con-
nection with the case. Since the ar
rest of the couple many things have
come to light. 1t appears that both
Mrs. Pratt and the hired man gave it
out after Pratt's death that the
farm would be disposed of and
Mrs Pratt would invest else
where, where the neignpors would
be more congenial. 1t is said
that Mrs Pratt and the hired mans
actions have caused much comment
during the Illness and after the death
of Mr. Pratt. Mrs Pratt is now being
guarded at her home, while Will kers-
ing is in Jail at Rockwell City. 1t is
said that both parties were unusually
anxious to have the funeral over with
and showed uncommon anxiety about
the life insurance which the deceased
carried. In this vicinity the story that
Kersing the hired man is to be married
July 80. to an Iowa girl is not given
much creaence. although it is admitted
If this is true 1t takes away the strong-
est motive suggested for the crime.

MISS THOMPSON DENIES.
Insists That She Did Not Talk With
White About His leavinu.

Des Moines June 3O.-Miss Della
Thompson, friend of the mysterious
Virgil White, and the lady acquain-
lance with whom he was last seen be-
fore his disappearance, denies the
story contained in the alleged diary
kept by White at the Ferguson farm
during his employment there.
Il cannot understand it ALL" said
Miss Thompson this morning after
reading an account of the finding of
the diary and its contents referring
to the games Of golf at waveland
park on the Sunday afternoon Virgil
White was last seen. 1--WE did not
play even one game of golf, and see
no object In Mr.. White writing about
It, If he really did write this diary,
which l. do not believe.
II was unaware of his intentions to
go away and did not plead with him to
stay. I knew nothing about it then,
and never knew that he was going
away until he disappeared. I am I'M
able to understand the reference made
in the diary. We went to the golf links
at Waveland Sunday afternoon, but we
sat down and watched those who play
ed We did not take part in the game
at ALL and I am puzzled to think that
Virgil should say such a thing, if he
did
Miss Thompson has been gradually
failing in health and spirits since the
strange disappearance of Virgil White,
and her connections with him which
have been so widely advertised and
she is under the care of Dr. w. L. Mil
Ter, at whose home she boards. Miss
Thompson has been employed steadily
all summer by President Bell of Drake
university, and the strain of hard work
during the past few weeks has left her
nervous and unstrung. She is allowed
to work only few hours day, the
object being to divert her mind from
thought of Virgil White, and his mys-

During Mr.. Hume's absence in Des

his farmers clothes and disappeared.
Together with Sam Wadsworth, a
Council Bluffs attorney, and an old
friend of the family, Fred White was
