Kobcy , president ot the board of trustees of the Homo of the Friendless , in : v communication to the BIH : yesterday , objects to the idea of the trustees calling in any citi/.cns to be as sociated with the trustees in examining the charges made against the manage ment. Ho dooms it almost an insult to intimate that th > trustees may bo preju diced in any way. Ho says : "Tho claim that the present board of trustees over examined any charges against the man ager , and endorsing him , is false in every particular. " Ho further claims that the investigation made eighteen months ago. and which lias been looked upon by many as a mere whitewash , was made by a committee .icting in an unollicial capacity. " The evident intention of Mr. Koboy in his communication wiis to give the public the impression that the present trusiee had not put themselves on record as hav ing examined charges against Mr. Lumen and having endorsed him. The report of that committee is the best evidence of the fact. The report ex onerating Mr. Lomcn at that time is signed by the following persons , who are still trustees of the Home : Kov. Goo. W. Koboy. Col. L. Bentley , Kcv. Win. E. Kamlall , J. P. Filoert , Kov. J. C. Carter and Samuel Harlan. Thus it appears , despite Kov , Mr. Koboy's statement , that six out of the nine men who form the present board of . trustees have already passed judgment. In view of this and other facts , it docs not scorn .such an unreasonable reque&t that disin terested citi/.ons vho have not already passed upon such a matter , should at least bo associated with the prcscnt board. Mr. Koboy , in his communica tion , should have stated that while the prcscnt board of trustees , as now organ ised , had never examined into the charges , yet six of the nine all but three had met here , and without .summoning any witnesses in support of charges made , and after spending a short time at the Home hearing what Mr. Lemon had to hay , they had heartily indorsed him and the work. That the public may know just the facts , and who constitute the board , the above statements are made , and with no desire to reflect upon the board or its intentions to treat the matter fairly. The only throe members who were not on the committee wore Kcv. Arthur Scott , W. W. Morton and Judge Dow. Dow.Why Why buy a poor gasoline stove when you can get a "Quick Meal" at the same price ?

Yesterday morning the manager of the Christian Home returned from Mon- damin , bringing with him the little girl , Belle Wallers , whoso case has attracted so much attention. Ho found the mother of the girl here , and at once began to straighten up matters as best ho could. He induced Mrs. Walters to sigh an nfli- davit which he admitted ho had prepared himself , and which was so worded as to imply that the BUK had greatly misrepre sented the matter in ono trivial respect , The HKB reporter understood her to say that she had been sending money to help pay for the board of the children. The atlidavit made by her , and which Mr. Lcmen presented to the Br.i : for publica tion yu&tordny , reads as follows : COUNCIL Ui.uj'KS Iowa , June 15 , 1SSO. .Mis. Maiy J.

" Mr. Lemon then broke in with , "Why , it was 11101103' sent in as a donation , just as anybodj would send in money , and not to pay for the children's board. " Ho was rouestMl | ( to lot the woman toll lu-r story .for herself , but did'not seem in- Cl I mill to do t > o. " "Wlia.t was this money to be used for ? " "Whyto ludp take , care of the chil dren.

" ' 'Then it is n fact that you liayo sent money to the Homo , but you claim that the money was to bo n cd for the of the Home generally , and not to apply specifically for your children's board'1' "Yes. sir. " Mr. Lomcn then informed the Br.i : man that what she said didn't amount to anything. When asked why ho did not prepare the affidavit go as to explain what the woman really meant , instead of trying to quibble about nnd convey n false impression to the public , ho had lit tle to snj' . It seems that Mr. Lemon U catching at nt straws , and despite the fact that he is trying to mtxko so much out of unimport ant quibbles , indicates that ho is in des- pcrato strait ? . Ho ought to havn had the woman sworn to a denial of the charges that ho misused her daughter. The alii- davit throws little light upon the main question , and is only gi\on because it shows the apparent desire to throw dust in the face of the public.

In the district court yesterday after noon the trial of the ease of Mr. Arch Coffman , for the killing of a man named Main , at Avoca , was commenced. There was some difliculty in securing a jury , there being a special venire of thirty and that nearly exhausted before twelve men tried and true could be agreed upon. The work of securing a jury occupied most of the time , and there was only a little tes timony taken on the part of the state be fore time came for adjournment. The state is represented by District Attorney Thornell and Colonel C. K Scott , of Omaha. The defense is represented by bnpp ob Puscr and Colonel U. B. Uniiy. Considerable interest is manifest in the case , and this will increase , doubtless , as the evidence proceeds. The indict ment charges manslaughter only , this , of course , prevents any possibility of any more serious crime. The defense is that the killing was in .self-defense.

Detroit Free Press : We camped on the opened prairie , seventy miles from the nearest range of hills , with not a tree or bush in sight as far as tlio eye could range. A few rods to the cast was a dry ravine , perhaps six foot deep. It was ono of those queer freaks of the pruirio , beginning nowhere , ending no where , and not to ne seen until ono rode into it. It crooked and turned like the trail of a ser pent , but ono looking across the prairie saw nothing but a dead level. Night shut down as soft as n whisper , and the stars came out and looked cheer ily down on the faces of the men who rested after a hard day's work. There was not wind enough to turn a feather. Khnre was no sign in the heavens that danger menaced. At midnight tlio wake ful sentinel felt a gentle pull'of wind lift his long hair , and from some distant point the bark of a coyote was wafted to his ears. Ton minutes later the grasi about him was bonding to a breeze , and tlm unsecured flaps of the tent began to whip. Ono of the sleepers was aroused to make things secure , and ho was none too soon. Away oil' to the west win heard a mignty rushing as the grass swished In the wind , and do/.ens of dark forms skurried past thrt tout in the direc tion of the ravine , The animal lito of the prairie * h.ul become aroused. Not in pulls , but with a front like a wall the wind came out of the west , in creasing in strength every moment. An hour after midnight the sontincl could no longer stand against it , and tlio sleepers had been aroused to hold the tent in place by main strength. A quar ter of an hour later it wis picked up as the human breath blows a feather away. Men shouted and screamed at each other , but the wind look the words from their lips and whirled them away unheard , lilown along like so many puppets the band fell into the ravine for shelter , fol lowed two minutes later by all the horses , Tlio alarmed animals crowded up eloso to their human friends , and they all lay down for further security. The wagons wore hoard rushing away to tumble into tlio ravine further down , and now and tlion saddle or blanket or cooking utensil flow over the ravine or fell among the fugitives. Afar np the mighty mountains a vial of wrallv had been uncorked. Through the gloomy canyons down tlio awful preci pices over the pino-clad slopes rublicd a hurricane in search of victims. It leaped down front mountain to foothills with the roar of an angry sen , nj'd ' it left the foot hills for the level pisiinc bent on terrible destruction. Across 'seventy miles of Ifvel it dualicd at us with the fury of a tidal wave. It grow ; with Its fury , and at 3 o'clock no living thin * ' cottH have faced ft. At 3 the storuVswcpl prairie kcpl up a continuous trembling , as if n volcano was about to break forth near us. At ! . when daylight broke , the air was choked with grass torn up b.y.Jho roots , and the roar was appalling , Men clung to each other nnd to the grusshnd now and then , as the roaring dicdoutfnr , ; a few seconds , the frightened horses neighed their ter ror. When the wind blows sixty miles an hour it Is a littrrlcaito. It was blowing harder than that to , tear up the strong pralrlo crass out of the soil. When the wind blows seventy miles an hour great trees are uprooted and barns are blown down. It was blowing harder than that to swoop up and carry oil' our heavy picks aim axes. More than sev enty more ) than eighty more than ninety aj'ol that mighty wrath was dashing over the prairie ut the rate of 100 miles an hour. Wo felt .sullbcatcd for ( ho want of air.Wo were deafened by tlio continuous roaring. We were exhausted by this desperate struggle to present being - ing scooped up bodily and carried out of the ravine , lilt was so with us. sbel- tercd from the fury as wo were , how must it have been with those exposed to Its full force ? A great wolf , from whom the life was beaten out , rolled down among its. The bodies of dozens of coyotes and rab ; bits , in which every bone boomed broken , dropped into . the ravmo. The wagons were caught i up ntdavllghtwhirled in the ir for I a moment and then 'disappeared jrevcr. Even the iron nxlrsworo not to bo found. Two or three objects , which no one could make out , tumbled over tlio bank below the horses. Some hours later we found thorn to bo mauled and pounded and bone-broken bodies of bull'alocs. At G o'clock the climax was reached. It appeared as if the earth rose and fell under us One of the horses struggled to his feet , and the next instant ho van ished to the cast. The force of the wind bruised and pained. A rock weighing tons , blown , perhaps , from the foothills , plowed down one bank and rushed up the other to continue a plaything for the wrath. Our breath came by gasps. Tlio air thickened until it became twilight. Half an hour later the wind began to Rill , the roaring to die away and the sky to lighten up , and at 7 o'clock wo wore searching the prairie in hopes of recover ing some one article belonging to what had been a well-stocked camp. On the prairie we found absolutely nothing. In the ravine a couple of axes , two or three saddles , an iron kettle and portions of harness. The mighty wrath had hun gered for our lives , and , failing to get them , had vcngefully sought to rob us of our all. Fire had not t swept the prairie an army had not swept over it -i Hood had not been let loose. It had encountered a worse enemy. A howling , roaring , grinding hurricane had made it a desert on which a hare might search in vain to satisfy its hunger.
