* THE STORM KING.
A
, The storm which swept over .this city
Monday night , was the most severe am
.disastrous one that has ever visited tin
community. Early in the evening th
heavens portended a storm , but few an
ticipated one of as much force and fur
as broke upon us about tho quiet hou
of midnight. The storm was accoinpan
ied by torrents of rain and a powerfu
wind , which played havoc with a num
ber of houses in course of erection , am
a number of smaller residences , stable ;
%
and out-buildings about town. Street :
and cellars were flooded and things gen
erally were pretty moist for an hour or
two. The residence of Mr. Russell in
South McCook was struck by lightning
and entirely consumed by the devouring
element , together with almost all tin
effects in the upper story , in spite o
the efforts made by those who reachec
the spot to save the building. As Mr
Rus'sell had no insurance , the loss o
$1,500 falls heavily upon him. The
house of Geo. Meyers in South McCool
was also struck by lightning , but witl
slight damage. A number of the house
hold , ' however , experienced a narrow
escape from the destroying element , a
bolt passing diagonally across the bee
in which but a few moments before some
of the family were peacefully reposing
The bed posts were splintered and the
clothing burned. The house of Mr.
Chancy in the same part of town was
also considerably wrecked by the storm
his kitchen being blown over , causing n
loss of about § 75. The family had re
tired to their cave , and thereby escapee
injury. Mr. Eaton's house just south
of the round house also received a little
attention at the hands of Jove's thunder
bolts , but no damage was sustained.
The Pate brick building , which has been
rather unfortunate since its commence
ment , was again the victim of the storm
king , the east end being blown out and
some four or five feet of the south side
being blown over onto Mrs. T. Nelis'
millinery store , damaging the building ,
which is also owned by A. J. Pate , to
the extent of about $100 , and causing a
loss to Mrs. Nelis in damaged stock of
$200. Mrs. Nelis and aged fatherwho ,
is a paralytic , both sustained narrow es
capes from the falling bricks , which
broke through the roof and ceiling and
came pouring into the store room and
sleeping apartments , with scarcely a
moments warning. Mrs. ( Nelis was
awakened by a peculiar noise occasion
ed by the swaying and creaking of the
walls , and barely sprang from her bed
and rushed to the assistance of her help
less parent as the avalanche of brick ,
timbers , etc. , came in upon them , filling
their couches. Neither , happily , re
ceived any severe injuries. T. G. Rees'
residence on Marshall street , in course
of erection , was quietly folded up by the
wind and distributed around the neigh
borhood. Mr. Rees' loss is light , as
most of the material can be used again ,
the heaviest loss being the labor to re
place the timbers.
LESSER LOSSES , ETC.
Unless the loss sustained by Mrs. T.
Nelis is satisfactorily liquidated , she has
empowered an attorney to sue for dam
ages.
Chimneys , window panes , trees and
the like easily destructible things were
blown down , broken and tossed about
with aggravating numerousness.
J. E. Berger's wood shed also took a
tumble , and some base burners and oth
er articles stored therein were consider
ably the worse for the usage received.
J. P. Mathes' stable quietly collapsed
under the undue strain , and the mate
rial composing the same , was pretty
generally distributed in his own and
neighboring yards.
Half of the roof on the tank which
supplies the city with water was blown
off and over the intervening space to
Supt. Campbell's gate , where it was
carefully deposited.
The shed building north of the Rus
sell residence , ( which was destroyed by \
fire , ) was the victim of a complete col
lapse. Couldn't have been done more
neatly had the job been done to order.
W. W. Anderson's residence , south
of the Methodist church , partly com
pleted , was moved from its foundation
by the force of the wind ; as was also
L. W. Marble's photograph gallery ,
which had recently been moved upon
the lot north of the city cooler.
[
A bolt of lightning struck Church &
:
Whittaker's meat market , running along
the ddge of the roofcand out the back
end of the building , which was consider
ably torn. The lightning , Jim Cotter
says , was round and as large as a plum.
Cotter and Cain who were sleeping in
the building , and the family of Geo.
King , which occupies the adjoining
building , made narrow escapes.

Since the facts Lave become known
concerning the report circulated some
two weeks since of the outrage or at
tempted outrage of a German girl in his
employ by John Jones of the McCook
House , late of the Now England House ,
Hastings , a storm has been brewing ,
and the apparent inactivity of the au
thorities and the further insult offered
another woman , who applied to Jones
for lodging , precipitated the same , which
had been working quietly for a number
of days. Hence the salvos of side arms
and the huzzas and other vocalizations
which greeted the ears of the people ot
this city , Sunday , in the gloaming , the
initiatory steps in a tar-and-feather mat
inee , which shortly followed , were not
matters of much astonishment or popu
lar concern , and the work thus auspic
iously inaugurated with ceremonies moat
paralyzing to the intended victim , was
consummated before any large number
of the populace had arrived upon the
scene. But the work was satisfactorily
performed , and Jones was taken from
the hotel office , the while howling in
mortal terror with the lustiness of a
catamouutjto a point a little east of town ,
where without further ceremony his
manly ( ? ) form was bared to the chilly
breezesand , in lieu of better protection ,
his anatomy was generously treated to a
coat of tar and gaily decorated with
feathers. Whereupon he was allowed
to retire to his hotel , with the advice
that his future hcalthfuluess depended
largely upon his vamosing this city
within 48 hours , or as soon thereafter
as his affiairs can be arranged. Jones
hit the road running hotel-ward , where
he rustled the remainder ot the night
with his "coat of honor. "
Jones is now under arrest and his
case will come up before Justice Eaton ,
to-morrow , a change of venue having
been taken from Squire Fisher's court ,
and other postponements made. We
will withhold judgment in the case un
til after the trial , which will ventilate
the man's character and decide the de
gree of his guilt. The character of the
house Jones has been running , and the
reports that Lave reached the ears of
our citizens , from Hastings , will mili
tate heavily enough against him.
SOCIAL SAUCE Register and Mrs. G.
