CYCLONE HITS IOWA.
Sweeps Through Fremont And Page
Counties.

Clarinda.-A cyclone swept through
The southeastern part of Fremont
county and into the western part of
Page county on the evening of the
18th, claiming one victim in death.
Mrs. Will Finley, near Northboro,
lnjuring several others, destroying
many homes and farm buildings, and
lnfiicting heavy damage.
The cyclones first damage was re-
ported at the little town of Watson,
Mo-, near the Iowa line, comprising
few houses, which were practically
wrecked Five or six were injured
here, but none seriously. Then it
swept into Fremont county, striking
Lone Willow schoolhouse and demol
tshing it and wrecKing the Will
Finley farm home, in which Mrs Fin
ley met her death from falling tim
oers. The storm then came into
Page county, inficting its first Sc
rous damage at the Henry Wieland
nome four miles west of Northboro
which was destroyed, with its farm
buildings. 1t moved northeasterly
for distance of half a dozen miles,
destroying the homes OF Claus Myers,
Tom Anderson, George Dalbey, and
the country home of b. L. Benedict
Of Coin, several miles west of Coin
Practically every building in the
path of the storm here, which was
about forty rods wide, was destroyed
and many cattle were killed. There
was no loss of human life, nor any
serious injuries.
The cyclone then seemed to rise,
but dropped to the ground again in
Nodaway township, about six miles
west of Clarinda, where it destroyed
The barns of Fred Herzberg and then
lost itself.
In Nodaway township near Clarinda
there was for few minutes a terrific
rain of boards, shingles and other
debris from the cyclone clouds. The
shingles were coated with ice when
they fell. The trees in the path of
the storm were stripped of their
foliage and various remnants of
homes deposited in their bare
branches.

FlENDISH ASSAULT.
Awful Fate of Aged Woman In
Hands of NEGRO

Des Moines.-Mrs. Mary Mann, a
white mother, SO years old, was
beaten and assaulted and finally rob-
bed by a negro at the end of the
East Sixth street bridge at II O'Clock
p. m. Her arms were torn by the
teeth of the black beast, her face
was chewed and her body is a mass
of bloody bruises from the vicious
blows and the unnameable practices
of the negro.
Mrs. Mann was crossing the bridge
on the way to her home at 1915
Southeast Fourth street, when she
was dragged into the bushes to the
west of the south end of the bridge
and there assaulted
Alarmed by stealthy steps behind
her, Mrs. Mann turned as she came
to the middle of the bridge and saw
negro running toward her. She
fled. But at the end of the bridge,
directly under the arc light, the negro
threw his arms about her and the
fight began.
Resisting with all her senile
strength, Mrs. Mann scratched and
tore at her assailant's clothes. But
he liftes her from her feet and
crushed her in his arms, whispering:
IF you speak I'll kill YOU"
Selling her by one arm, the negro
dragged his victim along tortuous
path for $50 feet. The struggles of
the woman broke branches and
marked the ground so that Detec.
tive Jackson followed the trail to the
scene of the final infamy.
Angered by her resistance, the ne
gro bit her in the face. He choled
her to quiet her screams, but the
woman still fought. Struck blow at
ter blow in the face and on the body
the weakening woman at last could
only throw up her arms in defense
to shield her face from the hideous
kisses of the black man. Sinking his
teeth in her white flesh the Negro
tore her arms and breast.
With all hope gone, the woman
suddenly heard the crunching rumble
of wheels on the bridge not far away
Renewing her screams she attracted
the attention of Assistant City
Physician Morse, who was returning
to his home from a CALL
AS DR.. Morse jumped from his
buggy and ran down the bank to
ward to woman the negro rose from
the ground and ran west
DR.. Morse found the beaten and
bleeding woman lying on her back
where the negro left her. He lifted
her in his arms and carried her tc

home and cared for her there.

PROPOSED EXTENSION
A Party Of Railroad Officials Visit

Several directors of the A. N. g. S.

are promoting the extension south

and returned Friday afternoon,

town being about half way between
Corning and Grant and in direct

road builder as "pudding." But
the Corning people are good boosters

interests. Villisca is fully alive,
however, to the situation, and has a

Stock Gambling Operations Of
Croker Discovered.
Stock

Chariton.-lt has just been dis
closed that in the two or three years
preceding his suicide. the late Cashier
F. R. Croker, of the defunct First
National bank, paid more than a half
million dollars to one firm in his
stock gambling operations. The
greater part of this was during the
asst few days of his life, when he
poured money into the rat hole of his
speculations at the rate of 100000 to
100000 daily, in the hope of saving
himself.
Crocker's speculations were through

was shortly after Mr.. Crocker's death,

Only Iowa DistilIery Loses Its Entire
Stock

kaloosa.-Absolute mystery sur
rounds the cause of the fire which de
stroyed $150,O00 worth of whisky in
the bonded warehouse of the Hoover
Distilling company of Oskaloosa II
is not believed that the fire could
have started from the heating plant
which is used to keep the warehouse
at 80 degrees temperature, for this
is located in a separate building. The
is also denied. Incendiaries might
have set fire to the structure, but
the Hoovers scout this theory also.
More than 5000 barrels of whisky
were burned in the warehouse, repre-
senting three years output of the
Distilling company, which had been
in operation only that length of time
AS the barrels burst under the ter
rife heat their contents added to the
intensity Of the. fire, which was the
worst in the history of Oskaloosa. Be
cause the warehouse was to tightly
fireman had difficulty in getting in;
when they did they found the interior
like furnace and the water was un,
awaiting against it. To add to the
futility of their fight the fire main OF
the water works plant burst under in.
creased pressure and workmen had
to dig down and put in new section
before direct pressure could be had
The fire, however, was confined to the
warehouse, and the still itself and
the cattle sheds near were saved.
The Hoover Distilling company
lost $150000 on the stored whisky and
building on which there was insur
ance amounting to $4,000 The United
States government lost $4,000 ir
unpaid revenues.
The Hoovers will probably continue
their plant here as it is the only one
in Iowa.
