The Texns CYclnne.

Dallas, Texas, July 6.-Reports Of
the loss of life and damage to property
caused by the cyclone which swept
through Montague county yesterday, are
as yet meagre, owing to the wires being
down. 1t is known, however, that fifty
persons were killed and it is probable
that when all the returns are in the
death list will be fully one hundred.
There are scores of injured, many of
whom have not yet been found. The
little towns were spared but scores OF
farm houses have been wiped away by
the wind. The damage to crops and
live stock will amount to many thOus-
ands of dollars. The tornado appeared
to zigzag and to take in houses which
would have been spared had the wind
kept 4 straight course A dispatch from
Jacksboro, capital of Jacks county,
Texas, says that wind storm struck
there yesterday destroying a large num-
Der of windmills, several houses and in
juring half a dozen persons. All the
injured, with the exception of Mrs.
Travis Calhoun, it is believed will
recover.

Attempted to Kidnap Young Woman.

Attempted to kidnap Young woman.
A bold attempt at kidnapping or as
sauit was made on Miss Grace Nee, a
pretty young woman of 90 years, before
daylight in Wheeling, w. Va, yester-
dgy morning. Two men gained entrance
to her bedroom, seized and gagged her
without disturbing the two other young
ladies who slept in the same bed, aud
dragged her to the middle of the floor.
A drug was evidently used as the young
woman remembers very little previous TO
finding herself in the middle of the floor.
She struggled toward the bed and clutched
her sister by the foot, awakening her. The
sister screamed, andD. NJ. Nee, her father,
who occupied an adjoining room, ran
into the room and was struck blow
which fractured his nose. The two
men, one of whom stood guard in the
hall, then made their escape. Robbery
was not the motive, as jewelry on the
dressers in the room was not disturbed.
Miss Nee's arms are badly bruised and
her mouth is laceraied from the gag.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Midshipman
Minor Merlwether has been acquitted

nection with the death of Midshipman
James X. Branch, Jr. He has been
found guilty OF conduct %unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman. n has
been sentenced To dismissal from the
naval service.
Believing that conditions and not
viciousness in his character were re-
sponsible for his action in fighting
Branch, the court has recommended
that the secretary OF the navy exer-
else ~leniency in disposing of the case.
This Is the result of the court.mar-
tial OF the midshipman for his partici.
patton as a principal In the i'll fated
pugilistic combat at the Annapolis
naval academy. The department Is
observing such close secrecy with re-
gard to the case that 1t Is difficult TO
ascertain exactly the reasons which
prompted the court to acquit the mid
shipman OF the manslaughter charge.
Apparently 1t believes that he is the
victim of a condition rather than OF
any intention permanently to harm
young Branch. The court established
to its satisfaction hat during the
fight Meriwether several times offered
10 give up, but the midshipmen who
were interested spectators urged him
to continue.
