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.
