Dr. Sprague of the Institute for the
Feeble Minded at Beatrice appeared before
Governor 1'ojntcr tcday , In accordance with
the order citing him to answer to the
charges preferred against him at Beatrice
several days ago Theoo charges were pub-
llshed several days ago , but the hearing this
morning was In executive session As the
governor was compelled to leave the city
at noon , the case was continued until next
week. Dr. Sprague appeared , with hla at
torneys , Hazlctt nnd Proutt of Beatrice , and
entered a general denial to nil of the eleven
charges No witnesses were sworn during1 .
the morning , but It H understood tint some j
testimony will bo Introduced In behalf of I '
the governor next week The friends of Dr. ] i
Sprague state unhesltatlnglj that none of I
the charges can be proven Steward Pholpa 1
and Engineer Adams , now employed at the
I
Institution , were at the capltol this morning
as witnesses In support of the charges
There were also present three teachers and
two ex-employes , none of whom were apkcd
to testify
The point was raised this morning as to
whether the governor should conduct the
bearing nnd act as judge , It being alleged
by Dr Sprague's attorneys that according
to the statutes the hearing should bo before
the Board of Public Lands nnd Buildings
The section of the statute giving the gov
ernor the appointing povvor says that the
superintendent of the Beatrice Institution
shall conduct the Institution under the rules
and regulations prescribed by the Doard of
Public Lands and Buildings and that the
governor shall have power to remove for
cause The section of the statutes rclitlng
to charges against public officers under tha
supervision of the board Is as follows :
"H shall bo the duty of the board to take
cognizance of all rharges or complaints
made against the said public officers and at
a regular meeting to give an Impartial hear
ing < o such charges nnd the defense against
them , If any , nnd report the charges , evl-
denco and their conclusions In the matter
to the governor within six days after the
determination of such Investigation. "
Dr. Sprague's attorneys this afternoon
filed an answer to the charges fired by Gov
ernor Holcomb , but It was not made public.
Governor Poynter and his secretary , Fred
Jewell , are exercising their efforts to keep
the affair quiet. The charges against Sprague
were served by Mr. Jewell last week.

HASTINGS. Neb , May 27 ( Special
Telegram. ) The most disastrous cjclono
that has visited Nebraska since the
Bradshavv storm circulated between
Minden and Kenesaw shortly after 8 o'clock
last night and completely drotrojed every
thing In Itn path Houses , barns , corncrlbJ
and sheds were crushed with as much cnse
as If they had been eggshells , and Block ,
dos , chickens and rabbits were killed at
various places. Had the cyclone came a few
nouns later ten or fifteen lives would have
been lost , but as It was the people saw
the danger In time and saved them
selves by crawling Into cjclono cellars or by
hugging the furrows In th plowed ground.
The cjclono orlgtnti'cd ' on tbo farm of I. A.
Hill , about three miles west of Minden. U
was first noticed shortly before 8 o'clock as
It advanced elowly down the Burlington
track , moving eastward toward Minden , but
when within two miles of the town It
changed Us course and went northeast.
The first real damage It did was when It
struck the farm of John V. Tennant , one
mile due north of Minden. Mr. Tennant ,
wlfo and son saw It coming and ran to the
plowed Held , where they burled themselves
In a furrow. They had no sooner dropped
to the ground than the cyclone struck their
home. Their two-story house was wrecked
and the cowshed and barn were crushed as If
they had been made of paper. All the
machinery of the firm , together with ve
hicles , were cairlcd away and scattered In
small pieces. A plow that had been stand
ing by tbo house was hurled through the
air and dropped a quarter of a tntlo away.
Largo trees were twisted , broken nnd torn
up by the roots. Sixty rods of fencing
were blown away nnd two heavy fence
posts mat nad been lying by the barn were
found driven Into the ground.
Wrpok nt llnjrr rnrm.
After leaving the Tennant farm the c > -
clone went almost duo cast for a mile , when
It struck the farm occupied by Joseph Bajer
and completely ripped everything from the
premises. The house was on a. good brick
foundation'and was surrounded by large
trees , but there Is nothing but a few scat
tered boards left to show that It ever ex
isted. Mr. Bajer saw the storm coming ,
headed directly for his home. He seized his
Infant child In his arms , together with a
heavy quirt , and calling to his wife to fol
low , made his way to a thick clump of largo
trees. Ono end of the quilt was fastened to
the bottom of a massive tree and Mr. Bajer
and family crawled under It and lay flat on
the ground till the storm had passed. The
trees under which Mr. Bajer and family
were lying were twisted and broken and al
most tied Into knots. Mr. Bayer said this
morning that It was a miracle how they es
caped suffocation and Injury ,
At this place the house , stable , corncrlb
and granary were so demolished and scat
tered that a common express wagon would
hold almost everything upon their former
slto. There was not a singFe thing of the
household goods saved. Boards nnd stuff
from this place were picked up two miles
east from the county road this morning.
Timbers of all kinds were scattered In every
direction. A wheelbarrow was taken from
the yard and dropped In a field nearly fifty
rods distant , where It was found In an up
right position. A sliver two feet In length
was driven clear through a six-Inch poet and
it took two men to remove It. One horse
and all the chickens were killed. The gar
den which was In front of the house was
made as smooth and clean as a lawntennls
court.
DpRcrlhen the Storm.
Thomas Bayer , father of Joseph Bayer ,
lives half a mile south of his Ron. He had
been watching the storm and gave tbo fol
lowing description of the- scene at his son's
homo to the correspondent this morning.
"After the cyclone left Tennant's place It
separated , but came together again Just
befcro It reached my BOD'S place. When It
struck his homo all that I could sec was a
bugo black mass. Then In an Instant I eaw
a house about sixty feet high In the air
going back wastward In the direction from
which the cyclone had just come After It
had gone about ten rods It seemed to stand
perfectly still for a few seconds and then
btibt forward In a northeasterly direction. "
This statement Is substantiated by the
fact that a large portion of the flooring Is
still Ijlng in the field about thirty rods from
where- the house stood. The cyclone con
tinued northeast after demolishing the
Bayer property until within four miles of
Hartwcll , where U changed its course and
started in a southeasterly direction , cross
ing the Burlington track one mile west of
Hartwell. Here It continued In Its south
westerly direction across open fields until
half a mile south of the town , where It
struck Peter Bllllsbach's
farm and owcpt
ever ) thing before It.
Hunch the Celliir in Time.
As the cyclone had been maneuvering so
much every person in the village caught
sight of it and Immediately ran Into cellars
or caves. Mr. Bllllsbacb , with bis family
of eight , has Just succeeded In entering
their storm cave when the cyclone crossed
the road with a deep roar and a big Jump
and landed in the front yard. It was all
over In a second , as Mr. Bllllsbach said ,
and the crash that accompanied it was al
most deafening even In the.cave. When the
family ventured from their place of safety
they were In the midst of a lot of debris.
Not a building was to bo seen upon their
farm. A largo grove that surrounded the
place was heaped up like so much old
brush and for miles around the lumber from
the house was sticking In shrubs
and grain fields A largo barn , corncrib -
crib and granary were also picked
up and generously distributed around
the country for miles. Three horses were
In the barn at the time of tbo disaster , but
so far no trace whatever can bo found of
them. An Iron windmill seemed to defy the
storm , but it was easily carried away. It
was nearly a mile from this place where a
chair was found driven deep Into the ground
all ready for occupancy.
Between Hartwoll and Kenesaw a largo
barn was relieved of Its roof as slick and i
clean as If a hugo cheeseknlfo had severed
It with ono stroke. The cyclone continued
towards Kenesaw , but when about three
miles from Hartwell It went straight up
and t > eon vanished.
To in-hex I'll Hnrtwcll.
Wbllo tbo main part of the cyclone was
destroying Peter BlllJsbichs' property a
small portion separated and went uptown ,
where It twisted through the Hartwell
Lumber company's yards and distributed
lumber or all Kinds throughout the village.
The town of Hartwell was also visited by
a heavy hall storm , but as the stones came
straight down only a couple of window lights
were broken. The ball stones measured
from six to nine Inches In circumference ,
They came down with such force that chick *
ens , rabbits and domestic animals were
killed. At 7 o'clock this morning hall stones
were found In the street that still measured
over four Inches In circumference. Between
Hartw'cll and Kenesavr there was a terrific
tain storm which almost resembled
a cloudburst. Tbo water rose as
high as four feet along the
callrcad grade. Draws that bad been dry
all iprlne were turned Into small rivera
nnd nmall lakes dotted tht flold * The path
of the tyUono wan narrow and about twenty
rallra In length If It liad como direct , but
fin It changed cotire * o often It covered a
much larger territory
When the cjclono was formed It looked
llko a huge black funnel and seemed to
move very slowly There 1 hardly ft man ,
woman or child In Mlnilen or Hrirtwell but
saw It , nnd they nil give the same descrip
tion. In traveling It teemed to go on the
hop , step and Jump order , only touching
hero and there , which accounts for the
ftmnll amount ot damage done as compared
to the vast amount that ( hero vvfoild hnve
been had It stnjed clone to the ground.
No Innurniirc.
Whllo the cyclone was In progress at
Hartwell , It cnucht n header , picked It up
bodily and carried It a quarter of n mile nnd
let It drop upside down In n grain field.
The path of the cyclone was about 100
feet wide , but varied In places. Everything
demolished bj the storm U a perfect loss ,
ni none of the farmers were carrying tor
nado or cv clone Insurance.
Those who were nearest the cjclone say
the noise was almost deafening and they ore
not desirous of another such experlenc. A
farm hand near Hnrtwell claims ho saw n
cow fljlng through the nlr while the IHllls-
bnck property was being dcstrojcd But
this Is not believed ns It In thought the
object ho saw flying amid the debris was
a part of a v\agon that was found nbout n
mile and n quniter from the farm house- .
The first sight caught of the cyclone wan
when It was coming down the B. & M.
track , three miles west of Minden. It was
so low nnd black that It was mistaken for
an engine pulling n train , but ns soon as
It began to ascend the word spread nnd
everjbody was hunting a cave or n cellar
