HAVOC BY STORM GREAT AT RIP
LEY.
TWO LIVES LOST AND MUCH DAMAGE RE
SUITS IN JACKSON COUNTY.

According to meagre details
which have reached this city a /
terrible cloudburst occurred Mon
day morning about four O'Clock
near Ripley the county seat Of
jackson county. The toll of
lives lost is said to have been
two while great property loss
was sustained as a result of the
opening wide of the heavens.
Owing to the telephone lines in
that locality being out Of com
mission due to the storm it has
been impossible to get into COM
munication with Ripley or any
place in that vicinity.
1t is reported, however, that
one house was washed down
Mill Greek and the two persons
who were in it at the time were
, drowned. SO far as reported no
other lives were lost. Horses
and cattle were swept away by
the terrible deluge of water
which came without warning
and left i'll its wake, death, ruin
and disaster. Mill Creek in the
course of very few minutes it
is said surpassed all previous
stages and with a great roar
swept down the peaceful valley
running the promising crops and
carrying with it small barns and
outbuildings, not to speak Of the
one hause and many fences.
The town of Ripley itself was
not directly in the cloudburst
zone it is said or the toll of>livcs
would have been larger Fur.
Their details regarding the disas-
ter will doubtless be received
here as soon as the phones are
back INTO commission. An eff
fort to secure information by tel
ephone from Sandyville, the
nearest town Of any, pretentions
from Ripley, failed as nothing
was known there because of the
lack of telephone communication.

having participated in the robbery OF
the Karrick home. but denies that he
shot the boy. He declares that he had
Z companion In the robbery, and, by
inference. places the blame upon that
person. This companion he declares
he knew only by the name Of Joe, and
had only known him a short time. As
TO the present whereabouts OF this
mysterious companion. Szirmay de-
clares he has not the slightest idea.
A strong chain Of circumstantial
evidence Ia being woven around the
~self-confessed burglar. Three times
since the murder Szirmay has at
tempted suicide. Once, the day fol-
lowing the crime. he attempted to end
his life by using %chloroform. but was
found by some boys and his life saved.
Again he slashed his wrists with the
blade of a safety razor, but declares
that the pain was SO great that he
| could not 60 on. Again, he attempted
to throw himself in front of a moving
train, but his courage deserted him.
A saw left In the cellar at the kar-
rick home led to the Hungarian's ar
rest. The ownership Of the saw was
traced to a family who had befriended
Ezirmay. and Its owner admitted he
had loaned the saw to the young man.
Bzlrmay says that when he read In
the newspapers that the saw had been
found In the house he had robbed, he
feared It would be traced back to him,
and that he would be charged with
the murder OF the boy.
The officers believe they have a
strong case against Szirmay, and 1t Is
predicted that he will yet confess that
he shot down the boy who had gone
to his home at loon from school, In
order to get his lunch. discovered a
man burglarizing the house, %grappled
with him, or attempted to escape and
give the alarm, and was brutally MUIR
dered, three bullets being fred into
his body by the cowardly house
breaker.
The capture OF the alleged murderer
was made by the sheriff. but talk of
mob violence caused that officer to
take Szirmay to the state prison for
safe keeping.
