HUNS DROP ACID IN
EYES OF S. D. SOLDIER
Corporal Roberts of Iroquois. Plans
Revenge on German Colonel Who
Gave Cruel Order.

Baltimore, July 5.-Probably no
more horrible tale of wanton cruelty
by Germans has come out of the war
than that told by Corporal Edward
M. Roberts, A Company, Sixteenth in
fantry, first division, of Iroquois, S.
D.. who has just arrived at Fort Nc
Henry hospital here. The story is
substantiated by entries in Roberts
service record.
Corporal "Bob," as he was called,
was taken prisoner by a German pa
troll and brought before a German col
onel. When he refused to give mill
tary information he was beaten and
on his continued refusal the Germans
destroyed his eyes by dropping acid
in them.
Corporal Roberts says he knows the
name and address of the German COL
onel who gave the order, and declared
he will pay him a personal visit, if
justice of an allied tribunal does not
beat him to it.
Eight of Party Killed.
The corporal was in command of a
raiding party in the Toul sector on
February 8, 1918. Coming back it en-
countered a German patrol in ambush
which greatly outnumbered the Amer
leans. However, the Americans e
ed fire with rifles and hand grenades.
Eight of the raiding party were killed
and three were captured.
Corporal Roberts was taken to the
dugout and questioned before his
wounds were dressed. He was shot
in both hands and a leg. At that time
he says his eyes were in perfect con-
dition.
He refused to answer questions and
was beaten by a German underofficer
until insensible. After being in a coma
for eight days, Roberts regained con-
seriousness and found his wounds had
been crudely dressed and there were
bangades over his eyes. When these
were removed he said he could not
see through one, while through the
other objects were indistinct. He ask
ed what was wrong with the sight and
was told that he was blind. When
he asked how this came about he was
cursed and threatened.
Roberts again was taken before the
German officers and questioned, and
when he again refused to answer was
beaten. This time he was in a coma
for eighteen days. When he recover
ed his sight Vas gone.
When he could walk he was taken to
Tiffen and after staying there for a
time was forced to walk six kilomet-
ers. He had been given nothing to
eat except thin, unnourishing soup and
chunks of black bread.
In August he vas taken to Rastatt,
an American prison camp. He was
compelled to walk through Frankfort
at the point Of a bayonet with large
signs saying, "This Is theWay We
Treat American SWINE"
On November %, after the armistice
was signed, Conrad Hoffman, a Y. M.
c. A. secretary, who also had been in
termed at Rastatt, obtained releases
for both and they started for the Swiss
border.
Roberts is "a years old. He enlist
ed almost at the outbreak of hostili-
ties. He expects his discharge soon.
On his clinical report is written eds
ability 100 per cent, treatment need
less"

TERRIFIC GALE SWEEPS
OVER SHERIDAN COUNTY
Wind Storms Does Considerable Dam
age to Property.-Man Killed
Near Homestead.

A terrific wind storm closely bord-
.ering a tornado struck this section OF
the county last Sunday evening. About
$3.50 o'clock heavy black clouds were
noticed forming on the western hor-
lion and in an incredibly short space
of time the storm broke with one of
the hardest winds experienced for
some time.
Medicine Lake and the country to
the east seemed to be the hardest hit
as but little or no damage is reported
from the country west and north OF
Antelope. Plentywood and the
try west and east had an extremely
high wind but no damage. Antelope
reports a few buildings blown over
and a few windows blown out. AS
the storm passed south, however, it
became worse and barns and sheds in
the vicinity of Reserve and east
through the Dagmar country are re-
ported to have been demolished.
At Medicine Lake the storm broke
with all its fury and hardly a build
ing remains in town but what shows
some damage. The estimated total
damage to the residence and business
sections is placed at some thirty or
forty thousand dollars. The large fur
niture and hardware store Of H. S.
Sparkling was wrecked, the entire east
side being blown out from the bot
tom and a considerable amount of
goods which were on the shelves on
that side of the store were carried
away. The P. E. Johnson & Com
pany's large plate glass front was
broken and considerable goods ruined
by the rain, wind and dirt. The large
bungalow of Cashier Fulkerson was
badly wrecked, the roof being taken
off and clothes from the beds and
closets were carried away through
the roof. The cross on the church
was carried away. The powers that
be handed a few to j. C. Wigmore,
demolishing four buildings belonging
to him, the large hall is a wreck, his
restaurant building is badly damag-
ed, the entire front being taken away,
his livery barn is strewn all over
town and a small residence is in kind
ling wood. A barn of J. o. John
sons is tipped absolutely bottom side
up, a number of private garages were
destroyed, badly damaging cars which
they housed.
The electric light and telephone COM
panies will suffer a very heavy loss
as the wires were one tangled mass
and numberless poles were broken
off at the ground. Continuing east,
the storm took everything in it's path
and the damage in the Dwyer district
is reported as very heavy.
A large amount of livestock was
killed and heavy damage by hail which
followed the storm to the east of Med
icine Lake is reported.
South from Medicine Lake the storm
abated somewhat until it reached a
section east Of Homestead where more
damage was done and where one mar
who was in a shack was killed.
Farther east in Dakota much dam
age was done, several towns being
hit as hard as Medicine Lake. The
storm was one of the worst that has
visited this section for some time but
the rain which accompanied it helped
considerable to offset the damage

Some Of the great accomplishments
of American business during the war
are just beginning to creep to the sur

ARMY OFFICERS TO
GET Jobs FOR MEN

An employment service, composed
Of army officers. to find work for dis
charged soldiers and sailors will be
organized by Col. Arthur Woods, head
Of the new Emergency Committee on
Employment for Service Men.
Woods believed the service Is neces-
sary because OF the scrapping OF the
United States Employment Service,
due to lack Of funds.
These officers will be stationed
throughout the country to list all the
opportunities for the employment OF
service men," Woods said.
The 1000 volunteer bureaus. organ
i8ed by the employment service to
md work for service men. will be CO.
ordinated into the new organization,
Woods said. Through the United
States Chamber OF Commerce. the
committee is appealing to provide all
the buffer employment possible for
the service men.
Woods advised against the ruthless
6IscharEe OF civilians to make room
for soldiers. stating he did not believe
this necessary.
