STORM CONDITIONS
CYCLONIC CLOUD PASSED OVER
BRYANT LAST EVENING.

Trainmen from the north arriving
this morning report unusual storm
conditions along the line. On the
outward trip last night the trainmen
observed a genuine cyclone approach
ing Bryant from the west. The cloud
was of the regulation funnel shape,
gyrating high in the air, dipping to-
ward the earth and again bounding
upward. Finally the cloud sank to-
ward the earth and struck about four
miles west of Bryant, again rising
and passing over the town of Bryant
without material damage other than
of an unusually high wind. Upon
their return this morning the train
men made inquiry at Bryant and were
informed that the cyclone did not do
other damage than breaking down
trees on farms adjacent, buildings eX-
lcept in a few isolated cases escaping.
The trainmen say the cyclone cloud
was a wicked looking monster, trav-
cling rapidly and bounding and swirl
ing as it passed along toward the
northeast. So far as could be learn
ed the cloud spent itself after passing
Bryant as 10 damage other than to
local farm trees had been reported
this morning.
Coming down this morning the
train raj into a thunder storm as they
approached Lily and for a distance of
forty miles south there was a con-
slant d%ownpour of rain. There have
been rains all along the line during
the past two days and vegetation is
rapidly advancing. Small grain fields
have the appearance of velvet and
corn rows are conspicuous for a half
miles across the fields.
In this vicinity a slight shower pre-
vailed about 5 o'clock this morning,
with showers also early last evening.
Today has been partly cloudy. threat
ening and unsettled.

labors in a general way, according to
the Topeka Capital:
'Sixty-nine young girls were given

"~SiXty-two women in need were
given counsel and assistance.
The difficulties OF twenty-five
boys were helped out. None were
brought into juvenile court. Homes
and employment were found for some
of the boys and a number of little
runaways were given care and re-
turned TO their parents. Sixty chill
dren were sent home at night for
violating the curfew law.
Fifteen neighborhood disagree
ments were settled. None were
brought into court; though, when the
angry parties, both men and women,
complained, they wanted warrants
for arrests.
"Thirty-two complaints were inves-
.tigated and given to the proper au-
.thorities.
"Forty-seven men asked for atten-
tion to be given to individuals and
conditions. requiring police author
ity. A number of them we're profess
sional and business men, interested
in welfare work.

LODGE BENEFIT
ABERDEEN WOMAN CLAIMS
$4,000 FROM SOUTH DA-
kOTA A. O. Il. w.

Aberdeen, June 5.-An action
which will establish a precedent in
South Dakota when finally finished,
has been filed in the office of the
clerk of courts here, in which Mrs.
Bell Peterson is suing the grand
lodge, A. o. U. w, for $4,000, claim
ed to be due on a benefit certificate
held by her deceased husband, the
late Peter Peterson.
In the complaint the plaintiff al
leges that her husband joined the
lodge February /, 1897, paid his dues
regularly up to and including the as
sessment for February, 1915; that he
died on February 8, 1915, and that
the order has refused to honor the
proof of death and pay over the
$4,000 specified in the benefit c%ertifi-
cate, and payable to her and her two
daughters as beneficiaries.
In the answer to the complaint, the
grand officers of the lodge set forth
that the deceased set forth In his APP
plication for membership in the order
that he was a laborer; that in 1899
he entered the saloon business, and
was engaged in that business up and
until the time of his death: that the
by laws of the order passed Septem-
Der l., 1908, provided that any bene-
ficiary who should become engaged in
the liquor business, or who was then
engaged in that business, forfeited all
rights under the beneficiary certifi-
cate plan; that the deceased knew of
this law being passed, and that there
fore he was not entitled to benefits
under the laws of the order.
In reply to this answer the plain
tiff alleges that the receiving of the
assessments on the deceased's bene-
ficiary certificate, knowing that said
deceased was engaged in the saloon
business, constituted a waiver of all
defense under the provisions of the
by laws adopted in 1908; that the Of
ficers of the lodge at WATERFOWL were
cognizant of the fact that Peterson
was engaged in the saloon business,
but nevertheless continued to accept
his dues and assessments; and that
the officers of the grand lodge were
also possessed of the knowledge that
the deceased was engaged in the H.
quor business.
This latter allegation of the plain.
tiff will be one Of the material issues
in the trial.

DOCKS AT SEATTLE

Seattle Nov 30.-Federal authori-

That agents OF the central powers
