DAMAGE by Cloud Burst.

Breaking over Grand Rapids with
tremendous crash of thunder. early
Saturday night, the worst cloudburst
the city has seen in 20 years wrought
havoc with easements and street
pavements. Three inches of water fell
inside OF an hour, breaking all local
records for June precipitation.
Sewers backed up all over the city
and overlooked the streets, the water
rising as high as three and four feet
in some of the lower districts of the
west side. In some places passage was
possible only by boat. Street cars
were stalled, Easements in all parts of
the city flooded with two and three
feet of water and much damage TO
property was done.
A number of washouts have been
reported on the steam roads leading
to that city. A house was struck by
lightning and 6-foot hole torn in the
building and a 13-year-old girl rem
dered unconscious by the lightning
bolt.

MAKING MOVING PICTURES.

In a suburb of Paris is factory
where cinematograph films are made.
The company operating the business
has large tract of land fitted up as
an amphitheater, within which are en-
acted the blood-curdling scenes which
delight audiences in the moving pic
ture shows. Recently pictures were
made depicting the death of a young
Christian maiden in a den of lions.
Nestal virgins, courtiers and knights
marched around the arena and then
took seats safely outside huge cage.
A young girl was strapped upon a
cross within the cage and seventeen
real lions were let loose. The lions
were exceptionally hungry and made
short work of the poor martyr. They
had been borrowed from an animal
show and had been kept without food
for three or four days. They tore the
maiden limb from limb and spilled
her blood all over the cage, but the
maiden didn't even scream for help
her flesh was PAPER mache stuffed
with raw beefsteaks.

Strangely Enough, English Firm Failed

An English firm, whose shipment

Fighting a Booze Parlor.

the citizens in driving out the solitary
rum shop. the only one in commission
there in % years, that it is said most
of the men forget TO 60 home TO
meals. and the women forget TO cook

question is taking all the attention of
those who in other years have ar
ranged for the jollification. It's all be-
cause Harry Pickens started saloon

days business, as several OF the citi-
zens had it declared a nuisance. Pick

Was Leon Murdered?

Failure 10 find any trace whatever
of Leon Ling has caused the New
York police to give some attention TO
the theory strongly revived that the
missing man may not have killed Elsie
Sigel and that he was himself the
victim of the same hand that killed
the girl. This line of reasoning neces-
states the rejection OF the story told
by Chung Sin. who said he had seen
the murder.
In considering the possibility that
Leon was killed it is regarded as prob
able that his body was placed in a
trunk, as was Elsie Sigels and that
has drawn renewed attention to the

Bandalia Country club, over in Nir-
ginia, where he planned to pass a
quiet day on the links. Yet Marina
duke Keene was no stranger to wars
alarms His ear was accustomed TO
martial music and the deafening din
OF carnage Indeed, his first mad act
after escaping from college was to
fare forth in a very successful search
for experience. He was soldier of
fortune in South Africa, in Manchuria.
and in the Philippines: he explored
far-away countries at the peril of his
life, and sailed the seas on dangerous
filibustering expeditions; only return
ing TO the United States and TO tho
District of Columbia when summoned
by the illness of his mother. He was
then just so, with the worldly expert
ence of man of 60.
Handsome, athletic, resolute, a man
of unusual impulses and cool audacity,
he was possessed of a spirit that en-
abled him TO brush aside obstacles
and hew his way to success in any
undertaking. But Capt. Keene was
sealed his fate and put an end to his
globe-trotting At the inaugural ball
which he was induced TO attend. he
met the beautiful and accomplished
Marjory Ames, and surrendered TO
her without struggle. Miss Ames
was the ward Of the rich and infuen-
tial Senator Hockheimer, and was the
social attraction of the season in
Washington. Capt Keene danced
with her, talked with her, monopo-
lized her, and resolved in his heart
to marry her. The chance of failure
did not enter into his calculations Ii
did not matter to him that Miss
Ames had hundred ardent suitors,
or that one of them, a dark-skinned,
blue blooded foreigner attached TO the
French legation, might be regarded as
a dangerous rival, to say the least,
since gossip had II that he was al
ready engaged TO the brilliant Ameri-
can heiress.
A few days after the ball Senator
Hockheimer and his charming ward,
in company with gay party of eX-
cursionists, departed on a trip to Vel
lowstone park and the Pacific coast.
AS Count du Chatelet disappeared a
week later, Keene shrewdly guessed
that he had followed them. AS a
matter of fact. the love-smitten cap
tain was possessed of similar incli-
nation, but certain business matters
pertaining to the family estate kept
him in Washington. And thus it came
