aas Woodriver, Nebr., when storm
istopped them They were driving
down the main street Of the town
when the storm became severe and
khey got out of the machine and went
Into building close by for protection.
Soon after they left the car the wind
grew stronger and picked their car up
of the streets and carried it a half
block off.
The machine was damaged but an
other car which had been parked a
half block further up the street from
the Keokuk car was picked UP by the
wind, turned over and practically
ruined The Hollands are still in Ne

BOYS INTERESTED IN KITE FLYING CONTEST
 AT COUNTY SCHOOL

Many little Jefferson county kite-makers are hoping that Friday will be a good day, so that the county kite-fying con- test can be held as officially scheduled. The meeting will be at the County High School at Boyles. and some of the boys are said to be rubbing yard after yard of kite cord with beeswax. This is said to make it about twice as strong as it would be if the fibers were left to unravel and suffer from the moisture in the air
 The big event will be at ocloc, Friday afternoon if the weather permits, and if it rains the contest will not be held. The boys are not trying to equal Benjamin Franklin in flying a silk kite in the rain to see whether there is any thing like electricity around the Boyles schoolhouse. All they want to do is to send their kites as high as they can and win $1.50 knife or a set of fishing tackle.
 The manual training supervisor is send ing out letters to every contestant in the district events held last week in- viting them to come to Boyles.

late last night, is being held on a charge of vagrancy, but an investigation has resulted in establishing the fact that he was in Meridian Sunday at about the hour the murder of Miss Hatcher took place. The hunt is being continued as vigorously as possible, Sheriff Martin again leaving for the scene of the mur- der this afternoon with fresh party of men who will relieve those who have become fatighed from their exertions and loss of sleep. Only the most meager description of the suspect is all that the posses have to work on. All doubt as to the manner in which Miss Hatcher was killed was removed today when three physicians of Meridian, Drs. W. A. Carpenter, H. F. Tatum and A. c. Bryan, designated by Circuit Judge R. w. Heidelberg, who is engaged in hold ing court here, and District Attorney Martin Miller to hold an autopsy, an- nounced death was due to strangulation by choking and that there was not the
 slightest indication of drowning. as was first believed, because of the body being found partly in a shallow brook that flows through the marsh in the pasture where the girl had gone to
 drive the cows home for the night
 They also announced that there was no
 trace of criminal assault, which
 strengthens the belief that the girl was killed in the struggle with her assail-
 ant before he could accomplish his pur- pose and became frightened and placed his victim in the water to create the im- rression that she had been drowned. The funeral of Miss Hatcher was held this afternoon, the interment taking place at Barker's cemetery, near Marion. Many sympathizers from this city and the surrounding country were present.
