.POORIHOUSE'ESCAPES.
Norwalk’s Town Farm Has a .Thrilling Ex-
perience.
Joseph Kun, an insane Hungariam
set fire to the wash house of the Nor-
walk almshouse on Saturday and was
cremated with the building. I
K1111 was sent to the almshouse from
South Norwalk and arrived at the
institution at 11 o’clock. He . came
with instructions from Selectman
Merrill to confine him in a cell.
On his arrival he had an uniighted
pipe in his mouth and Superintendent
Hoyt asked him why he did not light
it. Kun replied that he had no match
and Mr. Hoyt turned the subject.
He was then removed to a cell in the
second story of the wash house, Which
stands about thirty-five feet north of
the almShouse, andlocked in. He at
once became violent and tried to break
his way out, but failed.
At 1.30 o’clock Mr. Hoyt heard some
children yell fire. Rushing out of the
house he found the wash house in "flames.
He attempted to reach the cell in
which Kon was confined, but the
flames drove him out.
Mr. Hoyt then got out the hose and
putting a stream of water on the build-
ing, he placed another in the big aims-
house and prevented that from catch-
ing fire.
At this juncture Augustus Martin
and Jack Tier'ney, who were in the‘
neighborhood, arrived on the scene and
both rendered valuable assistance.
Martin took charge of the hose and
soon had the flames in check but not
until the wash house was practically
destroyed.
The body of Kun was found on the
floor of the cell cremated, nothing but
the trunk remaining his arms and legs
having been burned "olf;""'1t -'was re.-
moved to the grounds and Medical
Examiner Huntington gave permission I
for its burial.
It is Mr. Hoyt’s theory that Kun set
fire to the straw mattress in the cell,
and the place being celled with yellow
pine, the building caught fire at once
and Kun was suffocated and failed to
call out.
It is said that Kun has been in the
habit of building fires on the floor of
his room and had .made several other
attempts to destroy himself, but this
information was not imparted to Mr.
Hoyt until after Kun’s death.

cision Against Charles
R. Helmer.
JUDGMENT FDR $617.66.
The Case of the Defunct Morning Call De-
cided.
—__.————
D
o
In the civil common pleas court on
Monday a. decision in the case of
Charles R. Helmer and others against
George Lauder was handed dowu by
Judge Howard J. Curtis. Judgment is
rendered for the defendant to recover
$617.66 on ,the counter claim.
' Plaintiff who was the publisher of the
defunct Morning Call, sued to recover‘
$1,300 damages for an alleged breach
of contract in selling the plaintiff a.
printing press and the appurtenances
of a printing office which were not ac-
cording to contract. Plaintiff claimed
that the press was not in good order,
that certain parts were missing and
that other parts were given that would
not work. Defendant denied all the
allegations in_ the complaint and put in
a counter claim for $750, the amount
due on two notes.
The court does not find that the
pIaimifl” s contentions are maintained
by the evidence. On the contrary, the
court finds that the plaintiff went to
the ofiice where the press, was in com-
pany with a practical printer and pur-
chased the property with a full know-
ledge of its worth. The court finds
further that the plaintiff failed to meet
certain notes which he gave and that
the defendant is entitled to recover on
them. ..
The plaintiff was represented . by
Joseph A. Gray and the defendant,
who is given the judgment by Leo
Davis.

. the Dczid and Missing.
Indescxibably sad are the s.3'.cncs of deso~
latiou wxought by Monday night 3’ torna-
do, that has practically swept‘ out of (EX--
istence the prosperous little city of New
Richmond. Out of 500 houses and store
buildings complising the town fully 300*
were Wtecked by the storm or destroyed
by fire. Almost every family has one on
more members among the (lead,inju1'cdl
or missing. and little groups ate seen ev—
tefns 01' torches, for loved ones who an
be buried in the piles of deb1is on ever"
has been conducted all day, and up to 9“
0 Clock last night 54 bodies had been:-
found, although the number of dead cer-I
tainly will reach 100 01' more. These
have; for the most pa1t,been taken lo~
the Catholic and Congregational church-
es, which, although in the very edge of
the storm’s path, miraculously escapees
its fury.
In these temporary molgucs the flights"
are such as to touch the hardest 119%
as the grief stricken living recognize the'
bodies, horribly mangled-and often dis-
membered, of missing dear ones.
. The wounded find temporary asylums
1n the uninjured dwellings on either side
of the path of devastation, where do:-
tors and nurses from nearby cities and
towns me doing heroic work without
sleep or 1est.Thc 1 umber injured can-
not be told, but will pxobably reach 400.
As many as possible of the injured whose
chances for recovery are considered good
are being sent to the hospitals at St.
Paul and Minneapolis, where they will
have better care.
It is the average resident of New Rich-
mond who estimates the loss of life most
seriously. They claim that hundreds are
fissing who were buried in the ruins and
there incinerated. One such is C. A.
Nelson, who owned the Columbiun res-
tam-ant, located on Main street. His es-
timate of loss is 400 dead. He says that
when the rainstorm which preceded the
cyclone broke notless than 20 persons
rushed into his place for shelter. He is
positive that. not more than four besides
himself escaped. The building was a
substantial frame structure.
The business portion'of the city cover-
was built solidly of brick and stone. This
entire space was swept clear, foundation
walls and in some places masses of de-
bris alone marking where the business
places formerly stood. Trees that had
lined the streets of [lie neighboring resi-
dence district were broken clear ofi or
twisted and uprooted. The tornado came
up the river from Hudson. where the
damage was comparatively slight. Fol-
lowing the general course of the river
and the branch of the Omaha road, the
storm gained in intensity as it progress-
ed and was at its worst when it struck-
tke business center of New Richmond.

OMAHA, June 14.——The tornado that
st1uck the village of Herman last even-
ing wrought fearful destruction. A con-
ductor on the evening train from Sioux
City passed through the place not long
after the storm, and he says not a build-
ing is left standing in town. He counted
12 dead bodies lying in the streets. The
fatalities will undoubtedly run up to
100, if not higher. A special train has
left Blair, the county seat, ten miles dis-
tant, for the scene of the disaster, car-
rying surgeons and all needed supplies.
“'ircs are all down north of Herman,
and it is not known how much farther
north the s orm went, but reports are
coming in to the effect that a large por-
tion of the country north of Herman is
laid \1 aste. The entire eastern portion
of Nelnaska is being swept by a ter-
