A Devil Turned Loose Last Saturday, or Saturday night, • lit* home of old Mr. Leek, one of our most worthy German citizens of tin* west side of the county, was vis ited by a fiend incarnate, and from reliable sources it is learned, almost destroyed the old man’s home. It seems that the scoundrel, with a spade or an axe smashed in every window in the house save one; then kicked the parlor stove over anti scattered it through the room, in the case of the windows, the sashes were smashed in, chairs and furni ture turned topsy turvy; about four hundred pounds of flour, in sacks, was distributed through every room, the start being made by a pile in the center and a ring enlarging as they went until the fine carpets were en tirely covered. The bicycle and large range which belonged to Mr. Leek's son John and wife, were not molested although both were m the house. Then the Satanic scoundrel went out and to the northwest cor ner of the house, (the building is of concrete) and so badly destroyed the corner that our informant says the house is liable to fall. From there he went to the buggy shed and with the same characteristic vileness of bedlam, cut the old man s buggy top in shreds, broke the braces and his last fiendish stroke, apparently, was to smash down the side of the vehicle so that the whole top col lapsed. The buggy was a nearly new one and was built to Mr. Beck’s order to accommodate him and his good wife, both of whom were very heavy people. Mrs. Beck died less than a year ago and at this time Mr. Beck was living alone and had taken a car load of fat cattle to Omaha when this dastardly work was done. G. II.
