CRIME CALENDAR
IS BIG ONE IN
STANLEY COUNTY
Homicides, Highwaymen and
Cattle Rustlers to ProIong
Court Term.

Pierre. S. D.. July 19.--In past years
the court terms in the Empire of Stan
ley have not been long affairs, and
thai county has not added a great deal
to the business of the big Sixth circuit.
But the term of court which begins in
that county this week promises to be a
long one, attorneys interested expect
ing IL to least at least Il month If the
calendar is cleared. The criminal cal-
endar Is especially a long one this time,
with two homicide cases, three highway
robbery charges and about thirty other
cases In which rustling cattle and
horses is charged. Besides this criminal
calendar. several civil cases are up for
action.
Under the law of last winter it was
the intent of the state board of equali-
cation and assessment to place the as
sessnent on railroad property of the
state early in this month, but the rail-
roads came In with the plea that it
would be impossible for them to pre-
pare then reports as required by tho
time demanded and the assessment of
that class of property will go over until
the 18th of this month. The work OF
assessment of railroads will be much
more complex under the new law than
the old, and the board will probably
be in session from July % until late in
August.

FOUR TWlsTERs CHASE
A PASSENGER TRAIN

Sioux Falls. S. D., July IA thrill
ing story of the tram upon which he
was u passenger being chased for miles
by four %tornadoes. which raced after
the train as If determined to overtake
and destroy it and all its passengers,
is old by w. A. White. who has ar
rived here after having been in the
medSt of the severe storm at Mitchell
and vicinity Saturday night.
The formation of n Of the four
twisters was witnessed by MIR. White,
this taking place west of Mt. Vernon,
twelve miles east of Mitchell. Mr.,
White was a passenger on a train on
the Omaha railroad.
The tornado" said he, first started
west of Mt. Vernon The clouds had
f1cen looking bad Tor some distance
back, n just before we. reached Mt.
pearance of a tornado. Finally some
one of the passengers on the train re-
marked:
Boys, It's a twister, sure as you're
born
And when we looked we saw the
black cloud racing around near ground
level, whirling faster and faster and
picking at things as they whirled. The
formation at first resembled an invert-
ed funnel, With the point flying in the
ar. While the lower body swept every
thing into it's center.
Pulled Out Ahead of It,
We left Mt. Vernon just ahead of
the torn. The tornado seemed to go
around h town, clearing it to the
north. From there on it was a race
between the train and the pursuing
twister.
THE tornado was running parallel
with h track and in the same direc-
ton with the train. and at about the
same speed. The engineer was running
Tor all h boilers wou tan Then
we noticed another tornado to the
north and two to the south.
The n Immediately on our left
seemed to raise in The air just before it
reached Mitchell. For some miles back
It's form had been changing. reversing
TO an upright funnel shape. Finally
the little tail lifted from the ground,
leaving slight whirls as it rose, and
before the storm reached Mitchell it
had risen into the CLOUD and the main
body passed over the town without do
ing any harm. making it's presence
known by dropping debris. grass and
grain and bits of wood. and limbs and
twigs of trees. out of the obscurity,
out a part of this tornado remained on
the ground and did Il great deal of dam
age on the outskirts of Mitchell.
Storm Divided.
After the main body had split and
begun to rise we saw this off-shoot con-
tinue its way, still hard at it. For Il
moment or w it was hidden by some
houses as we sped on to the town, and
when we again had a view of the stu
alton we saw the wreck of a large
frame residence and a large barn lying
where they had been left by the storm.
This section passed around the
northwestern corner of Mitchell, and
when l left Mitchell l had not learned
what damage it did after 1t passed out
of our sight. We could see the main
section passing owe Mitchell. We pas
sengers arrived in time to get up town,
n W. were standing ia the streets as
we watched the menacing thing pass
over our heads"
