After passing Fillmore the cy'chine continued in a northeasterly direction. \|| telephone wires were torn down, however, and no word of what damage was done north was not known up to noon. I lie Wind Strikes Ituggy. Three men were driving along the road near the Dlmler home just as the cyclone reached that place. The cyclone struck the buggy and rolled it into a field but luckily none of the men were badly injured. The names of the men are not known here at this time.

Sinclair home it struck on the farm of William Dimler near Fillmore. One barn on Hie farm was demolished. Hie roof was torn off of another, the wind mill was wrecked ami Hie home badly damaged. The storm pas i'd just west of Fillmore and did not strike the town. Telephone and telepraph wires were town down as the storm -wept over them and detail of the iffm were extremely hard to secure. Men Saw Storm \pproach. From John Volderauer, motorman and John Cox and Bert Walden, conductors of intenirban freight car, west. No. 7, comes a good description of the cyclone. The car had just left Fillmore and was about a half mile west of that town when the motorman saw the funnel shaped cloud approaching from the southwest. Hi; car at that time was directly in the path of I he cyclone. Realizing hidanger he turned on full speed and managed to get ahead of the stonn. He and Hie other members of the crew, after they had escaped, had a splendid opportunity to view the

Cyclone or Tornado. The storm at Fillmore this morning was distinctly cyclonic in its character. The cyclone is a wind storm with a circular motion, the greatest intensity at the center, and a decided lifting motion. The cloud is always funnel shaped. A tornado is usually formed by the meeting of two storms at less than a right angle The two then unite and move forward in a line that is the resultant of the force of the two storm clouds. There Is no rotary motion in Hie tornado, uid its force Is crushing rather tban lifting.

At " o’clock this afternoon Homer Blake, charged with assault and batterly upon Bdward Siddons, was before Mayor Hays. ICdward Siddons appeared as the prosecuting witness, together with members of his family. After hearing the testimony of the witnesses the Mayor found the defendant guilty and assessed a fine of >25 and costs amounting to V.5. The fine was stayed. The trouble occurred last Saturday night. Henry Blake gave Siddons a dozen bottles of beer to take to Blake’s home. Siddons : larted hut failed to find the right house and went home and to bed, leaving the beer in ihe yard. About 12 o’clock Homer Blake appeared on the scene and demanded to see Siddons. He was called by his sister and at length appeared on tin* porch. After some words Blake struck him and Siddons was rendered unconscious. He still bears the marks of the severe treatment lie received.

VOTES til THE STORM. Jacob Fogle, was driving a single horse near the farm of Walter Cooper, southeast of town, when the wind struck him. Horse, vehicle and man were wept from the road and overturned Fogle was carried to Hie home of Walter Cooper, but proved to be uninjured. Walter Cooper lost'more than two hundred shocks of corn fodder. It had just been shucked, and the wind i leaned tlie field. The general course of the storm was from southwest to northeast. It began not far from the Deer Creek crossing of tlie Cloverdale road and extended beyond Delmar.

The revival meeting which has been in progre : at Manhattan for more Ilian a week ha cloved. The last meeting i spoken of as remarkable, Hie house being tilled to overflowing and many people unable to enter the building at all. Tlie attendance throughout the series has been unusually large. Three additions have heed made to the church, and the whole congregation lias received a spiritual uplift. Tlie services were conducted by Rev. (J. A. Reinhardt and Rev. W. I Evans, and those who attended speak very highly of their evangelistic methods.
