SAW .THE CYCLONE.
SAW IT FORM, AND THEN SAW
IT RUSH DFSTRUCTJTELT
THROUGH A CITY.
There Was a Calm Just Before and
Just After It Tbe Eye-Wit-,
ness Was , Within Two
1 Hundred Yards and
Watched It Form,
i Paes and Dis
. appear .
Gainesville, Ga., June 9. View
ed, froac one of the highest points in
the .city, the cyclone preeented a
most aweiaspiring xand spectacular
appearance.. The writer bad seen
just each a storm before. One nev
er forgets the signs of its approach.
From, the veranda of a cottage home
I saw the unfailing indications of
the coming tornado, and . while . I
little dreamed of the awful destruc
tion of life and property which was
to be. I knew that death and eoi -row
lined the lurid clouds which
loomed up from the southwestern
horizon. All day the weather had
been fickle, alternating between
sunshine and showers. . The tem
perature was lower than normal,
but barometric pressure extraordin
ary was noted. , About noon heavy
clouds gathered in tbe west, and
continuous reverberations of thun
der were heard. Though these heavy
detonations, were incessant and un
usually heavy in the west, the wind
stiffened, a brisk northeast breeze,
which soon grew to almost a storm.
The heavy rumbling, muttering was
continuous overhead, and directly,
despite the northeaster, the forma
tion of the cyclone was seen. It
seemed to form just southwest of
the city. A clear etreak of horizon,
with light,-smoke-like clouds, 'fly
ing in both directions at once; those
were the tokens of the coming cy
clone to those who had seen such
storms. Gradually and deliberate
ly, as if it would give fair warning
of its coming, the gathering forces
of the air cumulated into the' funnel-shaped
terror. Then there was
a death like calm. ,
'The northeaster sank to a mur
mur and the continuous rumbling
of the thunder overhead and west
ward ceased. The dead calm warn
ed those who read the signs again.
Then southwest of the town the un
mistakable roar of the cyclone was
heard, and skurrying, hurrying
rings of cloud joined the dark mass.
The roaring increased till it was
like a f core of heayy trains ru?hing
on. Then I saw it gather the , big
mill building of . the Gains
ville cotton mill in its death em.
brace, and the roof curled up in a
coil. The vortex of the storm was
now dark, and about it seemed to
play lighter nebulae of color. The
trail of the funnel-shaped cloud
kept close to the earth, and I .saw
the buildings in its path yield help
lessly to its force. Brick and frame
structures alike were unable, to
withstand.' .And then the terror
plowed its way along the ridge just
north of the, Southern Railway,
where the lower class of whites and
the bulk of tbe colored population
of the town live. High in air could
be seen the debris of homes, and
the roar was like rushing water.
The trail of death passed within
200 yards of me and there was
hardly a noticeable breeze, while
eastward the awful mass of moviDg
air and cloud and smoke and debris
raged for several minutes. It rose
just east of town and left several
homes directly in its wake compar
atively unharmed. Then it dipped
to earth again and cottage after cot
tage of the New Holland mill set
tlement 'went down before it. '
In the dark cloud, revolving with
an almost demoniac fury, I could
Bee little till the clear after-calm
revealed a clean-swept hill, where a
moment before stood a hundred
homes. The large two-story cot
tages of Pacolet mill were like pa
per boxes in the storm, and the
valley beyond the mill settlement
was literally covered with the splin
ters and scraps and fragments of
bat bad been but : this moraine
happy, if humble homes. Then the
storm passed on into the northeast
and was lost to sight and hearing
in a few moments......
As there was a dead calm preced
ing the burst of the storm's fury
so -there was a momentary, ominous
sUiloess immediately . succeeding
the eyclone. Then on the quiet air
came the shrieks and screams of
the sufferers or those whose loved
enes who met-death in the storm.
From New Holland, three-quarters
of a mile distant, and ' from New
Town and : tbe Gainsville cotton
mill district, rose the wail of the in
jured or bereaved, and between
these two sections tbe negro settle
ment laid waste and strewn with
wounded and dying and dead was
a scene of pandemonium.
The car line was paralyzed and
through the driving rain which fol
lowed the calm, every soul in the
city who was unhurt began the
work of rescue and search. The
merchants in the business portion
of the town, left their stores and
rushed to the stricken portion.
. The firebell called out the paid
and volunteer departments to the
houses which had become ignited.
Two thousand ready hands in ten
minuteB began the work of rescue
in the drenching flood which - fol
lowed the storm. The piteous cries
of the wounded as they were taken
from heaps of rubbish' and. debris,
and the heart-rending wails of those
who found loved ones crushed and
mangled beneath the mass of ruin
rent the air while no less pathetic
was the dumb sorrow and distrac
tion of those who could not find
children or parents or friends in
the terrible confusion, end the dsz
ed wanderings of hundreds in hum
ble life who wandered aimlessly
over the wreck and ruin in search
of the remains of lost ones. -
Havre, Mont., June 9. Authen
ticated adyice3 from. Hinsdale say
that Brown, of the Glasgow jail
breakers, was captured late this ev
ening by Sheriff Rutter. Rutter got
a tip that Brown was . to meet
friends near Hinsdale this evening
and went there to meet him. .
Brown seemed inclined to talk,
and when questioned by Rutter said
that he had come to Hinsdale alone,
having left the other three shortly
after. they left he brush. He had
no coat or bat. He says he did not
want to be with the gang when they
came in contact with tbe officers, as
he was sure there would be some
hard fighting.
He says the plan was 1 0 overpow
er the guards and put them in tbe
cell with Hardee and make their
escape without Hardee. The Bow
ers ranch outfit saw Brown at Van
dalia yesterday afternoon, but he
put them off by telling them some
story which they evidently believ
ed. - ,.: . V r ,,:
Brown says he does not know
who shot Williams but it was prob
ably Pierce. He says while the four
outlaws rode through the brush,
near Glaegiw they passed within 30
f.-et of some of the posse, e nd . that
they could have easily killed the
whole lot. Hardee remarked that
the officers were pretty bold to come
in there, but that he did not think
it best to sboot.
Nothing has been seen or beard
from the other three as vet.
"We dont make tHe cheapest wagon;
we' do make the best." This is what the
manfacturers claim for the "Old Hickory'
wagons, and justly so, as it is without
doubt the strongest and most durable

Kalkaska, Mich., June 10. Pros-
ecutor bmith aonounced today that
Mrs. Mary MoKnight, who has,
been under arrest here for several
days, has confessed to the poison
ing of her brother, John Murphy,
his wife and baby. A partial con
fession was made Monday evening,'
in which Mrs. McKnight denied,
killing the baby. Late last night
Prosecutor Smith again called at "
the woman's cell at her request,
and this time she made a complete
con'ess'on. In her first statement
she admitted giving Mr. and : Mrs,
Murphy capsules of strychnine and
quinine mixed. She said: ; ""'v . T
' I did not intend to harm any of
them. I did give tne baby the?
strychnine.V It woke up and cried
while its mother was gone, and X.
mixed up a little strychnine in a.
glass with nome water and gave a
spoonful to the baby. I did not
mean to. harm the little thing
at all. I confessed all to the Lord
this afternoon and I feel that ha-has
forgiven me. -
When Gertrude came home and
found the baby dead she got awful
ly nervous. She came to me and
said, "Mary, can't you give mer
something to quiet nee ssmething
that jou take yourself?'' I said that
I would, and I really did not think -it
would hurt her if I gave her one
of the capsules. . She had-spasms,"
right after that. I supposed - that,
the strychnine killed her. Then
John seemed to feel eo badly about,
it that I often thought after Gertie
died it wonld be better if he were to
go. too. John was feeling badly ona
night a couple of weeks after Ger
tie died. He wanted something to
J quiet him. I had two or three of
1 .1 i - ' j . j
tuts cttpsuies uu my uresbcr, ants
told him to get one of them. X
thought that it would soothe himL
and then I thought it would be foe
tbe best if he were to go away. He
helped himself. Then he went to
bed and by and by called me.
Mother came,' too, and he began to
have the eame spasms."
The whole of the confession waa
given voluntarily, and Mrs Mc
Knight signed it after Prosecutor
Smith had written it. y
East Las Vegas, N. M., June 10.

of the stones were larger than hens
eggs. Alfalfa was beaten to the
ground, other crops ruined, and
many theep on the ranges killed.
It is thought tbat uo human lives
were lost, though fear is ' expressed
for the safety of the sheepherders.
It is still raining in torrents in this
