Queer Franks of
Wind IN Custer
Concrete Foundation of Barn Scat
tered Over Lot-Another Car
ried to Adjoining Farm.

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Aug. A-(speciaD
The long drought was broken in this part
OF the county Tuesday night when a severe
rainstorm mingled with plenty Of hail
swept over town. The wind at times
reached the proportions OF a small tornado,
breaking off branches OF trees blowing
over telephone poles and creating other
small damage. Out in the country the storm
seemed to be more severe, committing many
vagaries along its path OF destruction. At
the farm Of Thomas Noonan, south OF town,
the barn was lifted bodily and set on top
of a large corncrib that had previously been
unroofed, while all Of the outbuildlngs were
blown to pieces. Mrs. Robert Brindle,
whose place joins Noonan's, was amazed
to see her stable containing one horse &C
company the wind across the boundary line
and deposit itself on Noonan's property.
The horse was found amid the wreckage on
the interior with hardly a scratch on him.
A new barn with concrete foundations on
the Martin place, four miles south, was
completely demolished, the foundations
being scattered all over the yard. over two
inches of water fell in little less than an
hour. The rain was badly needed here and
1t is now confidently predicted that over
70 per cent Of the corn will be saved Some
damage is reported from the hail, but not
enough to offset the general benefits Of the
storm.

MACHINE IS
BURNED BY, lNCENDlARY
OIL Poured Over New Separator OF o.
G.. johnson of Central City and
Match APPLIED.

CENTRAL CITY, .Neb,, Aug 4-Was the
threshing machine OF G. J.. johnson, living
south OF town destroyed by some enemy,
or by some competitor, who was provoked
because no would not increase his charge
for threshing grain the same as other oper-
ators in the neighborhood had done? This
is a question that is hard to answer, but
there is an interesting story connected
with the occurrence and several features
of more than common interest. Tuesday
night he brought his outfit home and left
it in the back yard. About 1880 o'clock
Johnson was aroused by his wife, who had
been awake, and looking out Of the window
had discovered the separator on fire, He
FASTENED out to the burning machine, but
he says that although the fire was just
started he discovered that 1t spread with a
sweep over the whole machine, indicating
that oil or some other highly inflamable
material had been spread over it. In few
minutes the machine was a mass OF ruins.
johnson was thoroughly convinced from
the manner in which the machine was con-
sumed that 1t was covered with oil, and the
finding of an empty can near the scene
added to his suspicious. He has not an
enemy that he knows of in the world, which
adds 70 the mystery. The only ones he
thinks who could have wished him Ill are
other operators who might be displeased at
his intention to pull over across the river
and thresh at the old rate for the Hamil-
ton county farmers while other operators
have lately raised the price
The machine which was burned was a
large Gaar-Scott, which Johnson had taken
from the cars here only a few days before
The separator cost 1890 and was insured
! for 5000.

lRlpPENS LAWYER AT WORN
Solicitor Newton Makes First Move in
Preparing Defense.
CONFESSION RUMoRs ARE DENIED
Officers Mt London and Quebec say
Reports Arc without Foundn-
tion-wardresscs and Of
ficcrs sail.

LONDON, Aug. 4.--Solcitor Newton, who
has been retained to defend Or. Crippen,
made his first move today when he filed
a formal application asking the authorities
to permit an Independent physician to cN-
anime the bits OF human flesh found in the
Crippen cellar.
1t is understood Newton will contend thai
they cannot be identified as having be-
longed to the body OF Belle Gilmore.
Scotland Yard is kept busy denying all
sorts Of rumors concerning Crppen and
Miss Leneve, the most recent describing
an alleged confession by the doctor eman-
ating from Quebec. Superintendent Froest
treated the report lightly, intlmating that
Inspector Dew would not be likely to give
out information in quebec, which he had
not first cabled to HEADQUARTERS here.
Officers Go for Prisoners.
The superintendent pointed out also that
had Crippen confessed it would have been
necessary to send Sergeant Mitchell to
Quebec with dispositions taken in London
in order to gain the extradltion of the prls-
oners.
Sergeant Mitchell accompanied by two
wardresses, who will take charge of Miss
Leneve, sailed this morning on the steamer
Lake Manitoba for Quebec.
The question whether Crippen and his
companion have been married has been
revived because of It's bearing on the
status Of the woman as a possible witness
against Crippen. 1t is known that the
police, hoping Miss Leneve will make a
strong witness for the crown, but IL it is
proven that she is the wife Of the doctor
she may refuse absolutely to take the stand
against her husband.
Discussing this feature of the case, Sun
erintendent Froest said an exhaustive Off
cial investigation had failed to produce any
evidence Of such a marriage.
Inspector Dew Disappears.
| The Quebec provincial authorities were
insistent today that Dr. Crippen had not at
| tempted a confession. They maintained
this attitude in the face of persistent ru-
mors that some sort of a statement had
been obtained from the prisoner.
This much Is known: Inspector Dew and
the Canadian detectives have not visited
Crippen's cell or had any direct communi-
cation with him since yesterday morning
Dew breakfasted early today at his board
| ing house and disappeared. Whether he
left town or not could not be determined,
but members Of the provincial police ex
pressed the belief that he had sought Sc.
| ,lusion in order to avoid the annoyance
Of being obliged to deny frequently erron-
Gus statements attributed to him.
Crippen has changed much In facial ex-
preston since he arrived here Monday. He
is not allowed to shave and a four-days
growth of beard gives him quite differ
ent look, The jail governor said the pre-
cautions against an attempt at self-destruc-
ton were so strict that the prisoner would
neither be allowed to have a razor nor be
trusted in the hands of the Jail barber
