Satans Kingdom, June 16 R--A storm which had a touch of the cyclone in its make up swept over Indians Hill late last night leaving wreckage in it's wake, and cutting off wire communication all night. The path of the storm was from the south over Indian Hill and ending at Gilman's railroad crossing. which is at the end of the valley.

Roofs of many houses were damaged by the limbs
 The monetary losses will run into thousands of dollars as large acreage of tobacco planting has been spoiled. The tobacco raisers who suffered most were Henry Sachs, James Stewart. T. Scott, Bidwell and Son, and E. o. Gales. The storm was regarded as the worst in Litch- field county in years.

All OF the principals involved ad-
mltted today That they didn't know
what would come out OF it.
After all. 1t seems that Dempsey
is still the champion and that the
penalty Of being denied the privilege
of fighting in New York will not
break his heart as he is not in need
of money and seems to be interested
very little in the fighting business.
MuTlens Speaks
Paddy Mullens, manager of Wills
said today that he would not claim
the title for his fighter.
Eddie Kane, manager OF Tom Glib
bons, who also has a challenge on
file with the commission, said in a
message received here today that
Gibbons would not claim the title
until Dempsey admitted that he was
not going to fight again.
Tex Rickard, Madison Square Gar
den promoter. said that he was wait
ing to see what will happen.
Case Closed
James A. Farley, chairman Of the
commission, who led the campaign
against the champion. said the case
vas closed as far as he was con-
cerned.
The impression prevails here that
the action against Dempsey will
open the way for a fight between
Gibbons and Wills. Gibbons is will
ing to accept the match on suitable
terms, but Wills hasn't committed
himself definitely.
