A boat 10-30 1m evening courier ar
rrvodtrom BmUww who Mid that
teat two hours before a cyclone had
track hie town, killing several people,
iajnriaf many and tearing down every
roaoa is town, and ssking that very
available doctor be sent out at once.
A train left on the B. A M. at 119
and the physicians, Dailt Times re
porter and m many citizens aa could be
reached in the limited time, left on
board of it, and many other citizens fol
loved in carriages.
The train reached the ill-fated town
at 11:40 and the physician and their
numeaou helper separated at once
aad went to the various parte of town
to care for the wounded. Care had been
ken to take along plenty of bandages,
lint, brandy, etc., and everything was in
risdiasM for rapid and effective work.
When half a mile from the stricken
town the passengers on the train could
see evidences of tbt storm in dismantled
fences and broken telegraph poles, tele
graphic communication having been cut
off. The town itself probably presented
the saddest picture any of our people
had ever before looked on. The depot
to total wreck. A dozen cars that oc
cupied the side track are piled in every
conceivable position. The first sign of
death met wss the body of a horse lying
at the earner of the depot and almost
cross the path that must be traversed
ia going up into what was once a town,
The town was all on the north of the
depot, and onoe across the track and be
yond the tangle of box cars that ob
struct the view a desolate scene to pre
sented.
The whole town is literally in ruins.
The twenty-four business houses that
extended on either aide from north to
south up and down the principal busi
ess street are inextricably mingled one
with another. They are crushed down
as though a roller ef mighty weight had
id over them. They are split and
timed, aa though they ha

it round not one souna
in the town. Of some the roof is
side creased in, the windows
the oorners agape. Of sotnenoth-
iaw more than a few boards and sticks
re left to mark their former sites.
The casualties were exagerated in the
ftat report, as they oftoa are, but they
were osrtainly serious sooogh. Yet it
to miraculous that doaen or more were
not killed outright under the eircum-
One man's family huddled around a
big bee burner. It. saved their lives.
Many ran for their cares and were
saved. One little girl dang to a young
maple tree and it undoubtedly saved
her from serious injury at tout One
woman and her two children got out on
lowed ground, laid down flat and got
off unhurt.

Mrs. John Miller.
Considerable difficulty was experi
enced on account of the lack of a build
ing suitable for hospital purposes, where
hot water acd warmth could be had
while the patients were being attended.
The doctors and their helpers worked
manfully until 4:30 a. m. when all had
been attended and made as comfortable
as possible. Besides the York phyi
sicians,Drs. Parley, Sedgwick, Shidler,
Forristal, Davis and Reynolds, there
were Dr. Allen of Brsdshsw, and three
Aurora physicians who arrived on a spe
cial about 2 p. m.
About 4 o'clock a. m. a number of cit
izens oongregsted in Burns' barbershop
and appointed a temporary relief com
mittee o'l nine as follows: R. C Burns,
Oscar Stubbs, F. C. Walrod, Henry
Koch, A.Z.T. Heath, Tom Sirrs, Joseph
Tiaha. Ed Felton. and J. H. Tilden.
The committee took charge of the cloth
ing sent out in drays from York and es
tablished headquarters at Burns' barber
shop.
The York neoDle came back on the
5:37 passenger to get breakfast and ar
range for more medicines, provisions
and clothing, for allot which articles the
Bradshaw people have a pressing need.
A little purse was made up on the train
ooming down by some kind hearted
young men and 95.50 was rained for the
needy.
The crowd that congregated was very
quiet and orderly. Ropes were stretched
around the business bouses and a patrol
estbulisbed, and Sheriff Si reck and
Marshal Afflerbach were on band, but no
act of vandalism was attempted.
Mayor Williams of York and many
other prominent Vork people came early
and stayed late helping to care for the
wounded and devising plans for shelter
ing the homeless. A number of ladies
drove out to lend their assistance and
others went out on a wrecking traij sent
out from Lincoln about 6 o'clock.
Company A-, N. N. G. under the com
mand of Captain Lundeen went out
this morning to assist in protecting
property. " .
In this awful emergency York and
her people have shown how they can
rise to surrounding circumstances, what
ever they may require.
tVOIDEim OF THE STORM.
When the storm set in W. W. Koch
wss driving 21 fat cattle into a car for
shipment Three head got away and.
the wind blew the oar containing
other 18 bead clear into York, a distance
of Sanies.
Thirty-five persons were in the hotel
daring the blow. The roof was torn off,
the sides partly caved in and the win
dows knocked ont, but no one was in
jured. Seven men were ia hall over a store
and remained there until the blow was
over. The hall and store are a mass of
ruins but not a man was hurt.
Some of the people who were in it de
clared the cyclone lasted half an hour.
A more conservative and probably a
more accurate guess was ten minutes.
Provisions and clothing the homeless
people must have and that without de
lay. Everything most of them had was
lost
The stocks of goods are nearly all a
total loss. The cyclone wss proceeded J
and accompanied by rain and small bail
effectually spoiling what the wind did
not make way with.
The Hallroed Defeated.
Waboo, Neb., June 6. The celebrated
Platte bottom cases were settled in the
district court of this county yesterday
afternoon. These cases have been pend
ing in the courts now about four years.
There are fifteen in nil aad arose out of
the improper construction of the rail
road bridge cross the Platte near Val
ley. In the spring of 1885, the toe
gorged above the bridge and caused an
overflow of the water on the lands be
longing to a number of the riparian own
ers. The farmers then brought suit to
recover from the Omaha A Republican
railroad company the damages sus
tained by reason of the overflow.
The company claimed that the ioe
gorges formed on an island a mile away
from their bridge, but in every case the
jury has held against the oompaay and
the state supreme court has as often af
firmed the judgement.

Tbe Edgsrcity council has decided to

Mr. Ellis now says if the licence is re
refused he will open up a shop for the

packages.
Mr. C D. Jeukins, who was in Lin
cnU a chamnion of the interests of the
Madison county people in their endeav
or to hare an equalization of taxes,
av in reirard to tbe same: The idea
prevailing in some quarters that to in
crease the assessment of railroad prop
erty throughout the stats for the pur-
pone of taxation would fcave the effect of
increasing the railroad oompanys' taxes
and thus imposing on them an uujust
burden is fallacious. It will be read illy
seen that where a given amount of rev
enueonly is required to be raised and all
property i i valued on a cash basis the
rate of taxation must go down in the
same ratio that the valuation goes up.
If it is true as it is claimed that railroad
property is now valued at 30 per cent of
its actual value, and farm and other
property at 20 per cent, the companies
now pay more than they would have to
pay on a cash valuation of all property
including their own. In the event that
the property of the companies should be
valued on a cash basis they will be in
terested in using their influence with
county boards of equalization in bring
ing all other property to a like basis, snd
this they can do by filing complaints
with such boar Is. The result is bound
to he beneficial and will place our whole
system of valuation and taxation on a
sounder and more equitable basis.
