south DAKOTA STORM
DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN CEN
TRIAL PORTION OF THE
STATE.

Highmore, June 16.-Fatally in
juring two women and one man, and
infiicting serious hurts on a half
dozen others, a tornado yesterday
swept more than forty miles parallel
with the Northwestern line, from
Blunt TO Rec Heights. The tornado
formed near Rosseau about 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon. Passing
through the north half of the city of
Blunt, it destroyed more than thirty
buildings. fatally injuring Mrs. Hilda
Owens, a woman more than SO years
of age, and seriously injuring l.. HI.
Trask, a lumberman there. Eight
f~armhouses north of Blunt were de-
molished, with a heavy loss of live
stock and crops. No reports of
deaths or injuries in the rural dis
tricts surrounding Blunt have been
received, as the country telephone
lines are all down. The storm passed
north of the railroad track from
Blunt, toward Harold, passing with
in a few rods of that town and sweep
ing every farm and outbuilding in
its path.
The tornado broke up four times
in its course from Blunt to High
more, reforming again in its prog
ress and leaving some of the build
ings untouched. After skirting the
town of Holabird, the storm reform
ed a mile west of Highmore, remain
ing almost stationary for fifteen min
utes, while the residents watched it

ening, being doubtless the largest
tornado that has ever reached this
section of the state, the last in this
vicinity being on July Is, 1885. The
roar of the storm was heard plainly
at Highmore when more than a mile
away.
Just west of Highmore the storm
crossed the railroad tracks TO the
south, roofing up telegraph and tel
ephone poles. 1t passed through the
corporation limits of Highmore, less
than two rods south of the city
standpipe.
1t tore the south end out of a barn
belonging to Joseph Wiley and then
passed over the cemetery, blowing
the tombstones to the ground and
uprooting fences and decorations.
From the cemetery, the tornado
passed to the farm of e. w. Lowe, a
half mile south and one west of
Highmore. All the buildings were
utterly demolished and Miss Clara
Wright was fatally injured. She is a
cousin of Orville Wright, the avi-
ator.
The property loss so far reported
will run in the neighborhood OF
$500, 900. Hailstones as large as
base balls in some instances, and OF
an average as large as an egg. fell
along the path of the storm in ar
area about two miles wide. The
greatest injury to crops in this To-
cality was that to rye and winter
wheat, which had headed out. Other
small grain being delayed by the ex-
tremely wet and cold weather, es-
capped somewhat the ravages of the
storm.
In Highmore, Blunt, Harold, Hol-
abird and Rec Heights practically
all the window lights were broken
by rebounding hailstones, in many
instances the stones penetrating the
windows after passing through the
screens The storm was accom-
panied by terrific discharges of light
ming and a heavy rainfall.

Miller, June 16.-Entering a plea
of not guilty to the charge of passing
worthless checks, Andrew Myers, a

at Chicago and brought back to Hand
county, was held for trial in the
state circuit court and in default of
$500 bonds has been lodged in the
county Jail. His home is said to be

Myers are as an alleged Grim
inal was brief, but while he had a
chance he gave a good example of
high finance. Leaving the employ of
Frank Hart, a Buffalo county farm
er, he proceeded to Miller. Pretend
ing to have a deposit in a bank at
Gam Valley he had a citizen endorse
a check for 500 drawn on the bank
in which he claimed to have funds.
Armed with this endorsed check he
entered a jewelry store and purchas-
ed goods to the amount of $50, ten
dering the check for 500 in pay
ment. He received the difference be-
tween his purchase and the amount
of the check in cash. AT another
store he made a purchase of $12 and
is charged with having rendered an
other worthless check, receiving the
difference in cash.
Then he purchased a ticket for
Chicago and fled. When information
was received that he had no funds in
the Gam Valley bank the authorities
at Chicago were wired to arrest him.
He was taken into custody as he step
ped from a train in the Windy city.
His trial has been set for August 8.

CHILD SAVES HIS LIFE
Five ear-Old Boy Gets Help When
Father Is Caught in Shelter.

White, June 16.-The presence of
mind of his wife and 5-year-old son
saved the life of William Cochran,
a farmer living some miles from
here, when he became caught in a
corn shelter. The little SOL was
with him when he became entangled
in the belt. The little boy, instead
of becoming panic-stricken. instantly
ran to his mother for help. Mrs.
Cochran reached the scene just in
time to save his life, as the belt was
rapidly tightening about him and
drawing him into the shelter, where
in a minute OF two, he would have
been crushed to death. He was ter
ribly bruised from his hips to his
shoulders.

Got Them Mixed.

It happens that my stories are read in the family of a wellknown probate judge up in Danbury, Conn, writes Irwin s. Cobb. Otherwise the judges household is above reproach. Not the least important member of the family is the queen of the kitchen. the old colored cook, and she has her fling at the magazine every week as soon as the new one arrives.
 The judge is a keen follower of all the war stories by different writers in the magazine. and he knew that the old nanny had been looking over some of the stun herself, as she had expressed her opinions about the Ger mans and "alleys' on several occa- sions.
 One day soon after the story of my in- terview with Lord Kitchener was pub lished, the judge casually asked mann. my how the war was going along, and if she thought they'd ever stop fight. ing
 "Jedge," she said, "dat wah gonna last jes' three years"
