Leach, his wife and their 6-year-old son, who are sup~ posed to have been stabbed to death by Mohammednns in Fsax, near Tunis, Africa. . - The triple murder occurred on May 7 or 8. A baby 2 months old was the only member of the family that survived. Dr. ‘Leach was formerly a practicing physician in this city. He was a member of the Amity Baptist church and known to nearly all of the congregation. ' He Went to Algiers eight years ago as a missionary, and from his letters it was supposed that he had been successful in his work. A few weeks ago he wrote to the Rev.

THE Wlillll STORM Many Persons Reported Killed by a Big Tornado In Iowa. ONE PLACE WAS WIPED OUT. Telegraph Wires Are Down, and Further Reports Are Expected to Largely Increase the Already Largo List of Fatalities. 1 Due Moms, May filo—The most alarm- ing reports were received here today re- specting the tornado which swept over Polk, Storey and Jasper counties shortly after midnight. ‘ Owing to the almost total prostratlon of telegraph and telephone wires it is not possible to verify the reports that have been received, but indications are that the casualties will reach 50 killed or in- jurcd. Twenty persons are reported killed in the three towns of Valerie, Bondurant and Ankeny. The tWO latter towns are in this (Polk) county, while Valeria is in Jasper county, directly east. _ So far as heard from, Slater is the only town in Storey county which suffered, but as there is no means of communica- tion with that section there is every prob- ability that the restoration of telegraphic communication will bring news of disaster as yet unreported. No details have been received from Slater further than the bare statement that the whole town was destroyed. The some report comes from Polk City, this county. A telephone message from Berwick says that a courier just in says that 24 persons were killed at Bondurant, 5 at Valeria and 3 at Ankeny. Later news from Valeria shows that 15 persons were killed there. Most of ' those killed were in the depot of the Chicago Great Western read, some of them having just alighted from atraln and others tak- en refuge there from the rain. The depot was literally blown to pieces. The west bound passenger train escaped the tornado but a few minutes. Had it remained at the station five minutes longer the list of killed would undoubtedly have numbered scores. A dispatch from Santiago, this county, says that the storm was unprecedented in its fury in that section. Three miles west of the town a house was lifted bodily from the earth, carried some distance and thrown to the ground a shattered wreck. The entire family of occupants was killed. The roads are almost impassable from de- bris, fences. outbuildings and branches of trees being swept together in piles. Nothing has been heard from the north- eastern end of the county, where it is feared the storm caused the greatest dam. age. A messenger from Bondurant, who on rived at 9 o’clock, says that R. G. Scott, a prominent farmer, was killed; also that a church at Ankeny was blown down and several persons were hurt. The town of Granger was badly wrecked. The number of farmhouses wrecked be- tween Valeria and Bondurant is very large. Mayor MacVicar has called a meet- ing at the council chamber to take active measures for the relief of the sufferers. A number of coffins have been shipped to Bondurant on the Great Western extra, via Berwick, the nearest point. Cattle Killed by Hailstones. MINOT, N. D., May 26.—A severe hall- storm swept over this section, causing seri- ous damage to crops and breaking many windows. Cattle on the ranges suffered severely from the storm, mainly being pounded to death by the hall. The stones were of enormous size and fall with ter- rific force. The storm was accompanied by severe lightning, doing considerable damage. One or two barns in the Moose. River valley were struck by lightning. Crops in the Moose valley are a total loss. Hallstones Smash a Train’s \Vindows. ST. PAUL, May 26.—A fierce hailstorm began as a passenger train was leaving Springfield, Minn. Every window in the train was broken, as were also many of the inside shutters. Many windows in Springfield were also broken.
