His oats and 100 acres of corn are entirely destroyed. Most of the other cornfields in the path of the hall were only partially stripped , some portions tions of the injured fields being com paratively unharmed. At least a car load of windmills was necessary to replace those torn down by the high wind.

AN ELEPHANT ON HAND. Sioux City People Do Not Know What to Do With Insane Man. Sioux City authorities begin to think they have an elephant on their hands In the person of Henry Everett of Bus- sett , who Is a paroled patient from the Norfolk hoslptal for Insane. Of this case the Journal says : Provoked by the seeming Indiffer ence of Mrs. Henry Everett of Bnssett , Neb. , whoHe husband , Henry Everett , Is insane In the Woodbury county jail , Col. M. B. Davis , commlHsIonorot Insanity , yesterday rebuked the wo man severely. Everett's case has become a serloiiH problem for the colonel , who has been doing a lot of correspondence In or der to get authority to place the man where he may receive proper treat ment. Ho says he has been unable to get any word from Mrs. Everett. "It was twenty days ago that Ev erett was taken Into custody here af ter having run away with a horse and buggy belonging to Phil Carlln , " said Col. Davis. "It was expected his rel atives would come and get him. Wo found that Everett was a paroled pa tient from the Nebraska asylum at Norfolk , and that the parole specifi cally placed him In the custody of Mrs. Everett under an agreement that she was to secure treatment for him in Sioux City. She did bring him here , but now it looks to me as If nhe ia trying to wash her hands of the mat ter. Everett is rapidly growing worse. We have no right to send him hack to Nebraska if his relatives will not take him , and wo cannot send him to our own asylum without a permit from the state board of control. We have waited patiently but In vain for some action by Mrs. Everett , In whose nominal care the patient Is at the pres ent time. " WANT BASEBALL TOURNAMENT.
