Cyclone in Kansas.
Wichita Kan June 25. At 7:30'
this evening a terrible cyclone from the
southwest struck the village of Keigh-
ley Butler county and nearly wiped
die little town out of existence. All
tnc telegraph wires are down and the
information was brought by a courier
to Leon who rode on a swift horse.
Owing to the fact that the courier left
immediately after the cyclone passed
over all ihe details are meager. It is
known however that Ed. Thurman was
crushed to deaih in a stable. Many
were pinned under railing houses and
their fearftri wails indicate serious in-
juries. It is thought that many are
kihcu as me cycione swept on its
course as far east as the people could
see it. Two general stores the largest
buildings in the village were crushed
like effn shells.
A freight train was standing on the
Frisco track at the same time and six
cars were lifted up and turned upside
down. This would indicate that the
cyclone was at least 200 feet wide.
The wreck is standing on the track
oiled up thirty feet high and trains can-
not pass until some time tomorrow
night.

North Enid Ok. June 25. The
trouble at Hound Pond is getting more
serious every hour. The presence of
United States marshails has not had
the quieting effect desired. The crowd
ofcitizeos blew out ihe cattle guards
on the outskirts of the town. Saturday
night and warped the rails so that
trains could not pass for several hours.
That trains were not ditched is due to
the vigilance of the deputy marshals.
Last night three people were shot.
The mob attacked the south-bound
passenger train that came through the
town flying with a hot fusillade of bul-
lets from their Winrfirir xr.
than 100 were fired at the train and
some of the cars were perforated.
A Mr. Fosselt of Kingfisher who
was standing on the platform had his
hat shot off and received slight scalp
wounds and another passenger1 was
shuck in me throat by a bullet.
Johnson a newsdealer of Round
Pond was hit in the leg with a heavy
charge of buckshot.
During this delay the deputy mar-
shals did not fire a shot. Marshal Nix
said he wished if possible to avoid con-
flict which would surely result in con
siderable loss of life. Marshal Nix is
here today and says all the power of
the territory will be required to put
down lawlessness in Round Pond.
