Kcv. G. W. 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.

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 :

After reading the nflld.irit the BEE man
asked Mrs , \Vnltors :
"Do you moan to say , Mrs. Walters ,
that you have not sent any money to the
Home for any purpose1" !
No , 1 have tent money at diflcrcnt
times , a littlg nt a time. Some of it wns
my own money and some that 1 luid'col
lected. 1 have sent about $15 in all. "
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. " .
"You fceut it to go into tno general
fund , and to hdp pay for thf board of all
the children , your own included ? "
"Yes , that was it. "
' '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.

The Coffin.m Trlnl.
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.

AN UNSHACKLED FURY.
Vlvlil Description ofn Wind-Storm on
the Prairies.
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.
