city, and for few minutes the streets
were flood OF water. Fortunately
the storm was not of long duration.
A few windows were broken about
the city by the hail storm of the morn
ing, but little damage as done at any
time, and the escape of the city from
the effects OF severe storm was for
tunate.
Reports from stations along the 500
line north and south are that heavy
rains fell, accompanied by some hail.
but no damage reports have been re.
ceived at the local Office OF the 500.
Later it has been learned that Mrs.
Graves lived but a few minutes after
being taken from the river where she
was hurled by the force Of the wind.
A special from the Jamestown Capt.
toll says: A terrific wind and rain
storm visited Stutsman county this
afternoon about $3.50 o'clock. coming
from the south east. At Ypsilanti,
the wind increased to such a velocity
that a young cyclone existed for near
ly fifteen minutes during which time
the farm: home Of George Graves was
destroyed and two children, whose
names could not. be learned, were
killed, while Mrs. Graves received a
number Of injuries that are said to
be Of very serious nature.
The roof OF the depse at Ypsilantl
was also torn of by the terrific force
of the wind and several other build
ings were damaged.
The wind came with the rain and
almost without moments warning
the Graves children we're killed by
flying debris.
The cyclone Travelled towards
Jamestown with lightning rapidity,
and struck the large barns at the
fair grounds, demolishing these In
the twinkling Of an eve, besides blow
ing down the grand stand at that
place and causing large property
loss. The large smoke stack at the
flour mill was also blown down and
other damage Of serious nature was
done near the mill.
The cyclone appeared to cross the
James river near the mill and twisted
itself around in such manner as to
strike a number OF buildings in the
of the Northern Pacific round
house, demolishing these in the twink.

Among the injured is a young
woman named Brace. She was in the
postoff1ce and the buildingg was
blown away. She was seriously hurt.
The residence of J. L. Hart was de-
molished after having been rolld over
a half dozen times with the occupants
inside. Mrs. Harris back was brok-
en-; little girls limb was wrenched,
and Hart and two other children were
seriously injured.
Depew was destroyed by a double
twister that was formed from that
striking Key West and travelled In q
northeasterly direction, and another
coming from the east. The tornado
wiped out Depew, then pushed north
east, spreading it's force presumably
q few miles further on.
Small tornadoes followed In rapid
succession in an atmosphere, that was
nearly humide. They rose high in
the air, circled about and dipped. AS
many as five were observed during
the display. The little tornadoes had
spent their forces whwen the big one
came at 5 o'clock. Preceding and
following it were terrific rain and
hail storms. The streets of Stroud
and Sapulpa were vertiable rivers.
A newspaper man tried at 10
o'clock tonight to reach Key West,
but was turned back by the high
waters. Not a wire was working in
that part Of the state and towns
within a radius of ten to twenty miles
have heard unconfirmed rumors.

The Peary Arctic club expects &c

the vessel cost more than that amount
but her uses are limited. The strong

TO ABOLISH BILLB0ARDS.
Detail Of Practical Method Adopted by
Kansas City.

Detail of Practical Method Adopted by
Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo, claims to be the
first city in the United States to pro-
vide practical method Of abolishing
billboards. BY the new city charter
the council is given authority to pro-
hibit by ordinance the construction or
maintenance Of billboards within any
district Of the city which it may pre-
scribe, but must remunerate property
owners for damages thereby caused
them. unless their consent be first OBJ
tanned. The damages paid and other
costs are to be treated as a public i'm
provement and assessed as such
against the property in the prescribed
district. The amount Of damages is
to be determined by jury. A\dvan-
taee Of the above provision has already
been taken by the owners Of one Of
the largest residence additions to the
CITY. who have fled their written con-
sent to the passage Of an ordinance
prohibiting bilboards in that district.
The charter provides for regulation
also. and an ordinance, which has been
upheld by the circuit court provides
that the height Of billboards must not
exceed ten feet. that there shall be a
clear space underneath Of at least
eighteen inches. that the ends must be
at least three feet distant from any
wall or fence or other obstruction
which viii prevent a clear passage
from the street TO the ground behind
and that no billboard shall be con
structcd within twelve feet Of the
property line. It was held that this
could not be applied to billboards al
ready erected. but on Jan. IS storm
blew down 40 billboards. which great
" assisted the reform.
Generally speaking. billboards car
be taxed in the same way as otheI
property. but It has been held uncon
stitutional TO tax them out Of ex
istence."

 Troy, Jan. 14.-(SpeciaL )--The case of Davis Whitehead, charged with the murder of John Richburg at Hopeweli Church, near Henderson some time last year, was called yesterday. The State is represented by Solicitor R. H. ParlxA assisted by Foster Sanford and Car roll and ex-chancellor w. L. Parks, of Andalusia, and John H. Wilkerson, of Troy. are defending young White head. The case is attracting much att tention and interest and the court house was filled with eager spectators before the trial commenced. All of the morning was consumed in selecting a jury as there were many challenges by each side and 1t was an hour or more after dinner before the last juror was accepted. There were a number of wit nesses to be examined by both the prosecution and the defense and it was way in the night before all of the tes- timony was taken. The arguments were commenced at 8 o'clock this morn ing and were completed by noon, strong speeches being made by the attorneys on both sides. Judge Pearce has given his charge to the jury and 1t is thought a verdict will be reached some time to- night.
 The case against Shut Johnson and Ephraim Brown. the two negroes in- dicted for the murder of Fox owens, will come up as soon as the Whitehead case is disposed of. These negroes were tried at the last term of court but a verdict was not reached. a mistrIal being made. Some additional evidence has been secured against these defend- ants since their trial last court.
