z. z. SNYDER ARRESTED.
Is Found in ST. Louis by Jones County
Sheriff.

Anamosa, May 14.-Sheriff W. A..
Hogan of this county returned yester-
day morning from ST Louis, Mo-, hay-
ing in charge E. z. Snyder, the for
mer Olin banker who was arrested at
that place. Snyder was indicted by
the grand jury at the March term on
two counts, one for fraudulent bank
ing and one for embeZzlement. In
some manner the proceedings of the
grand jury became known, and Sny-
der left for parts unknown before he
could be arrested by an officer On
May 8 County Attorney, A. G.. Bauder
visited Des Moines for the purpose of
comforting with Governor Cummins,
and as result the governor offered
$500 for Snyder's apprehension.
Snyder was a private banker, who
began business at Oil some twenty
years ago with a capital of $4,000.
OF that amount he had saved $1,000
as telegraph operator, and the rest
was given him by his father, bust
ness man at Grinnell, la. Last Decem-
Der he made an assignment for The
benefit of his creditors. His liabil-
tiles were s143,000, and he will be able
to pay only about 10 cents on the
dollar. The money seems to have
been lost in bad loans, as Snyder was
not a Spectator. nor did he lead
wayward life. At the last he paid
high rates of interest ar his deposits,
6 per cent on al least 10000. He al
ways maintained his innocence of any
wrongdoing, and said that he was
ready TO meet any charge against him.
The officers here learned of Snyders
whereabouts through letters to Jones
county friends When arrested he
was employed as cashier and book
keeper in a large eating house.

TORNADO WAS DESTRUCTIVE.

Iowa City, May 11.-Thursday's
tornado at Hills proved more des-
tructive than at first thought. Six
farm houses were destroyed, and
about a dozen or eighteen barns and
smaller sheds. The funnel of the
tornado passed directly over the big
steel bridge across the Iowa, picked
1t up and dropped 1t in tangled heap
in the river about seventy-fve feet
down stream. The Hills creamery
was blown TO pieces. and the wind
wrenched large boiler out of solid
cement foundations and carried 1t
along for short distance. In two in
"tHu"oe where barns were carried off
the stock was left unhurt on the
ground. The total loss is expected to
reach about 100000.

DIES FROM FRIGHT.
Miss Martha Sinkey Comes to untime-
Iy End Near OnsIow.

Anamosa, May 13.-During a heavy
rainstorm Miss Martha Sinkey, a
domestic employed in the home of
the Hon. ohm Russell, ex-auditor. who
lives two miles north of Onslow, jump
ed out of bed on account of an extra
hard clap of thunder and dropped dead.
There is no evidence that the light
ming entered the house. so it is sup
posed that heart disease caused her
death. 1t is known that she had been
struck with lightning twice during
her life, and it is presumed that this
gave her the sudden fright which
caused her heart to give way.
