CITY of Mexico, June 29.--The inter-
nal troubles in Mexico which developed
several days ago along the northern
border of the republic have brought
out serious features. Today's storm
centers around the city of Torreon and
in the country between that place and
Jaral where bandit bands are operat-
ing in conjunction with the insurrec-
tionists.
Government troops are rushing 10
the scene and already $500 federal SOL
diers have reached Torreon to rein
force the garrison there. Two hum
dred more have reached Juarez, IN
Chihuahua. Soldiers are patrolling the
streets, and public houses and jails are
heavily guarded. It Is the belief OF
the Mexican government that the revo-
lutionary movement Is fomented by
band Of agitators who long have made
their headquarters in the United
States. On this ground, it is believed,
Ambassador Cereel, when he reaches
Washington, will appeal to the United
States authorities to assist In appre-
hending the revolutionists.

down thru the plastering just above
a chair which only moment beforeI
had been vacated by Mrs Spaight and
her little baby. She had gone to close
a west window, and doubtless that
circumstance saved the lives Of her
self and her child. The plastering was
scattered in great pieces over the room
and the lathes were torn from the
joists During the same storm, light
ming ran in over the electric light wires
at the A. H. Simon store, and Mr.. Si-s
mon, sitting at his desk, was stunned
by the bolt. No damage was done to
the contents Of the store. and only
small damage to the building. The
storm was accompanied by heavy
rain, which left the interior Of the
Hagenbeck- Wallace tents veritabls
pond and greatly marred the evening
performance.

one third of the towns residence sec

the town, farmhouses and buildings
are in ruins and cattle are lying dead
in the fields.
Contrary to the most universal rule
in tornadoes, this storm came rushing
out Of the northwest instead Of the
southwest In five terrible minutes its
work OF devastation was complete. and
southeast OF the town. Its path can
be traced for about three miles north
east Of Clinton, but the severity of the
storm appears to have Increased as 1t
approached the town.
1t was 5:45 p. m. after q day OF
growing heat and humidity, that the
long threatening storm assumed its
identity as death dealing tornado.
The house Of Martin Higgins, two or
three miles in the country. was first
struck No one was killed there, altho
the house was wrecked. Three OF four
persons, children, were injured. one OF
them severely.
The death roll was the heaviest at
the home Of Thomas Rothwell, about a
mile and half northwest. Rothwell
himself and two guests of the family
Miss Kate Mills and Mrs. Peter Van
dermark-were almost instantly killed,
and Miss Mate Rothwell and Bert Roth
were seriously injured.
The others dead-Mrs. Nicholson
and her babe-lived In the town and
perished in the ruins Of their home.
There were many thrilling, even mir
aculous. escapes
About twenty houses, all In the one
part Of the town, were blown to pieces.
Among those in the sweep Of the fun
mel shaped twisters were the homes Of
Olaf Nicholson. s. III. Beatty. A. F.
Warner, C. Gs Bronson, 8. r. Finberg,
G. NJ. Johnson, S. O. Steen and John
Hagarman.
The Methodist and Norwegian Luth-
eran churches were destroyed. Scarce
ly piece of timber remains on the
original site of either. The office OF
the telephone company was damaged
and the printing Office and residence
OF Fred r. Condit were completely
wrecked.
With the exception of livery build
ing, no building in the business part
OF town sustained any great amount OF
damage.
The total property loss will foot up
100000 or more.
