4 SEVERE STORM.
Visited Morgan Township Monday Night
and Did Much Damage.
.orrespohdence Of the wArcHMAN.

So r@.Ze 7 Er-
Correspondence Of the WATERMAN.
Piney Woods, June IA ter
rible cyclone visited our section
las night about 10 o'clock totally
destroying crops. The cloud came
up from a northwest direc ton,
accompanied by a terrible roaring
sound, and lasted about 80 min
utes. Old men say it is the
fiercest storm that ever visited
this secJion, to their knowledge.
The storm, from the best we can
learn, was about three or four
miles in width, extending for
miles.
In some places greater damage
was done than in others.
Crops are totally destroyed, the
hail beating wheat, oats, corn md
all vegetables fiat on the ground
The section which was visited
by the cyclone is in a terrible
condition.
If wheat and oats was Just
blown down some wheat could be
saved, but the the straw is broken
and therefore is ruined.
T Jesse Fry's barn roof was blown
off and his dwelling house dam
aged.
Jacob Arey's dwelling house
was moved two inches off the pill
lars his wheat house and crib
blown down.
Il Ephraim Williams barn was
torn to pieces and was damaged
otherwise.
John 1. Shaver's barn was un-
rooted and wheat house., cribs,
ETC., damaged.
E. G. Shaver & Co.'S, saw mill
shelter was torn to pieces, also B.
P. Basinger & Co.'S. saw mill
buildings.
The above are q few who have
suffered losses of personal prop
erty, also lots of timber.
Hundreds of pines, oaks and
scrubs cover the ground.
E. G. Shaver says he had be-
tween two and three hundred
thousand feet of timber blown
down on 100 hundred acres of
land.
Charles Culp says be had a hun
dred thousand feet of timber on
his place blown down.
From what we can learn at this
writing the lower end of Morgan
township is the most affected by
the storm.
No loss If lives nor stock is 1e-
ported at this writing.
IA. Lisk says his house was
six inches deep IN water. A rock
ing chair that was sitting on his
porch was blown a distance of
about rs yards and over a FIVE
foot fence. The nice grove at
Luther E. L. church was COM
pletely demolished, but no dam.
age done to the church.
Many people are damaged Sc
verely by the loss of household
furniture, etc.
We think probably the corn
may grow out again but it will be
late and not half a crop.
John Basinger, an old Confed-
crate soldier, died at his home
Sunday afternoon at three o'clock.
He was II years cid and has. been
blind for four or five years. He
leaves a wife, two SONS and one
daughter to mourn his loss. He
was much loved by those who
knew him.
Rev. DR.. Atkins preached q
noble sermon at Zion M. E. church
Sunday. His sermon was on love.

UNIQUE CARS TO BURN WEEDS
Frisco Has just Put Two of Them
in Use.

The Frisco has just put in commission
two odd-looking cars for destroying
weeds along it's right of way. One of the
cars left St. Louis yesterday for service
in the first district, and the other will
be sent, in day or two, into the second
district.
The first district comprises the East
ern, Central and Southwestern divisions,
and the second district the Western,
Northern, Ozark and Southeastern dt
visions. The cars will, therefore. be
tried on all the Frisco lines in the south
west and west, 49,
Gasoline is used for both motive and
lighting purposes. The car is twenty
feet wide and eight and one-half feet
nigh, and has a canopy top. The body
is very low, being only about two feet
above the ground. In the body are the
gasoline engine, for running the car,
and the oil tanks.
The oil flows from the tank through
feed pipes in the burning apparatus,
which is at the rear of the car. Part OF
the apparatus is stationary, hanging
down over the track. Two parts each
about four feet in width. extending out
ON each side of the tracks, are sos ar
ranged that they may. be folded up
when not in use. III
AS the oil is converted into gas, there
is no danger of fire from the spilling on
the road. The flame burns the weed in
the track and four feet on each side of
the track The car runs at a speed of
fifteen miles an hour but, when des-
troying weeds, at four miles an hour.

LIQUOR CASE RULING.
An Injunction Applied Only to
the Parties Mentioned.
A. Live Court Trial i'm Which
Attorneys Talked Fight.

Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 2S.-Judge
Van B. Prather, of the probate court
yesterday handed down a decision in
the habeas corpus case of Mrs. Rosie
Znzich, arrested about three weeks
ago on a ''dary Doe" warrant issued
by Assistant Attorney General Trick
ett charging her with selling liquor in
violation of an order of the common
pleas court. The court rules the war
rant was void.
Attorneys Hale and Dean were en-
pIoyed by the defense and they con-
tested the validity of the John Doe"
warrant, also setting up the claim that
a liquor injunction restraints only those
meHtioned in the proceedings. The
court sustained the contention of the
defense released Mrs. ZuZich and as
sessed the costs against the prosecu-
ton.
Judge Prather's decision In part
follows:
THAT the warrant upon which said
petitioner was arrested and restrained
of her liberty was void for the reason
that the same did not mention the
said petitioner or describe her with
such particularly as to identify her as
the person intended TO be arrested
Hereunder.
That said petitioner was not a
party TO the~suit in the contempt pro-
ceedings under which she was at
tempted to be arrested and restrained,
and that she was not generally or par
ticularly described as one of the per-
sons intended to be enjoined in said
action, and that she had at the time
of the doing of the alleged acts
charged to constitute the contempt
complained of no notice or knowledge
of the tendency of said action or the
rendition of said judgment and could
not therefore be in contempt of said
court in the violation of said injunc-
ton
The decision is considered an i'm
port INT one, and if it is sustained by
the higher courts it will put a stop to
promiscuous arrests on John Doe
warrants for alleged liquor violations.
Mr.. TricEett fought against the re-
lease of Mrs Zuzich, claiming that
the Injunction issued against the prop
erty where she is charged with selling
beer applied to her and everybody
else. He contended that if she did
not know that an injunction had been
issued against the property her igno-
rance of the fact did not protect her
from prosecution for contempt.
Judge Prather held that a person
against whom no injunction papers
we're ever issued could not be in eon+
court holds that an injunction issued
against one person is not binding on
another.
AS soon as the courts decision was
read Mrs ZuZich started to leave the
court house, but she was placed under
arrest again on a new warrant issued
by the assistant attorney general The
complaint involves all the charges I'M
der which she was arrested by a
"John Doe" warrant She furnished
bond for her appearance in court next
Friday. when she will be again tried
During the examination Attorney
Henry Dean and Mr.. Trfckett all but
come to blows. Mr.. Dean questioned
Mr.. Trickett's tactics and invited him
out of the court room. 1t was agreed
