The people of Council HI lifts were trentpi
to a genuine cyclone scare yesterday aft
ernoon nnd for n short while It looked ns
If the city was to feel the effects of a rca !
live twister. Shortly after 4 o'clock a ,
largo black , angry looking cloud was seen
approaching thp city from the northwest nnd
the wind commenced to blow a perfect hurri
cane. For a few seconds so violent wns
the wind that cvcrvone thought n cyclone
was at hand. It only lasted a couple ol
minutes or so , however , and the windstorm
continued on Its way without doing any
thing much more than cause n general alarm.
A few windows about the city were blown
In and broken and a number of trees were
blown down. Ono of the large plate glass
windows In the court house wns broken. A
tall tin smokestack was blown from thereof
roof of the Woodbury building on P < xirl
street nnd a section of the tin root wns
blown Into the street , narrowly missing a
passing pedestrian.
A panic almost occurred among the occu
pants of tbo offices In the upper stories
of the Baldwin block. The wind caused
a number of doors to slam to , breaking the
glass In them nnd the nolso frightened the
occupants so that they made a rush for
the stairway nnd hastened to tbo ground
floor ns fast as their legs would carry
them. Not ono among them waited to ring
for the elevator , but one nnd all scurried
down the stairway.

The opening of the season at Lake Manawa
was most ntisnlcloun. The onlv Inclilont to
mar the pleasure of the Immense crowd
that sauntered along the shady walks nnd
enjoyed to the utmost the best vaudeville
bill that has ever been presented nt this
popular resort was the dastardly attempt
of some unknown miscreants to wreck ono
of the trains. The track was torn up for
sonic distance , but Is now repaired , as weir
as the section of the road that was under
water , nnd Mannwa's patrons will flnd every
thing In readiness for their reception.

by the death of his 14-year-old son , Joe ,
who was killed by a motor car. Mr. Gor-
ham says the accident wns purely unavoid
able and attaches no blame to anyone. Ills
son iwas riding his wheel when he came
Into collision with the principal of the High
school , who was also riding a bicycle. They
wore both thrown under a passing motor
car. The principal of the High school saved
himself from being crushed to death by
catching hold of the front part of the car.
Ho was badly Injured , however , one arm
and his collar bono belns fractured. Ho
was also severely hurt Internally. Mr.
Gorham's son wns crushed by the wheels
of the motor , his body being terribly
mangled , and death must have been almost
Instantaneous. Mr. Gorham had only re
turned from Hockford n few days , where
ho went to attend the graduation of his
daughter , when ho was recalled by n tele
gram announcing the terrible nccldcnt to
Ills son.
The case of the State against Price Gib
son and F. M. Phillips , charged with Illegal
fishing In Lake Mnnawa , was submitted to

day on an agreed statement of facts. The
case was brought up on appeal from the
court of Justice Vlen , where the defendants
had been fined. The defendants appealed ,
holding that Lake Manawa was "boundary"
water and that therefore the law governing
Illegal fishing In state waters did not ap
ply. Judge Smith sustained the contention
of the defendants and dismissed the case.
The motion for a now trial In the Smith-
Jensen damage suit was submitted on argu
