- Dwelling House, Bars and Horses Swept Away, the Horses Killed - Nothing Left in its Track.
- Claude, Tex., April 18 - No further damages than were reported resulted from the cyclone yesterday, but additional particulars have been obtained. the cloud formed near the "J.J." headquarters, in the Palo Duro canyon and traveled north, passing two miles west of Claude. The ground in its course was swept as clean as if a fire had passed over it. About four miles northwest of Claude it struck Mr. J. C. PATCHING's house. Two men were staying with him and when the storm burst upon them were busily engaged fixing supper. One of the men ran out of doors while the other two, PATCHING and CHAMBERLAIN, remained in the house and were picked up and carried off with the house.
- PATCHING was found by a neighbor some six or seven yards from the house in an insensible condition, and died to-day at 12 o'clock.
- The other part will recover.
- PATCHING's horses were killed and carried some four or five hundred yards from the house, and the house and wagon were completely demolished.
- Mr. PATCHING was a very popular young man, and his tragic death has cast a gloom over our town. His brother, J. A. PATCHING is expected in to-night.
- Mrs. NEWBY, living about nine miles south of here, received a telegram from her old home in Illinois, that her husband William NEWBY, supposed to have been killed at the battle of Shiloh, was not dead and had returned to the old home.
- A NAUGHTY TEACHER
- Arrested for Embezzlement and Adultery.
- A Criminal of the Worst Kind.
- DeLeon, Tex., April 18 - Our little city was thrown into a state of excitement yesterday when Professor J. W. STOTTS, principal of our public school, was arrested on a charge of adultery with Mrs. Bettie SAUNDERS. Professor STOTTS came here last fall and was employed by the trustees as principal of our school. He brought a woman named Mrs. Bettie SAUNDERS and her little boy with him, claiming that she was his sister and with whom he has been rooming. Or people thought it was all right, as she was his sister; but it now turns out that she is not. Hence, the arrest. Our justice of the peace has letters and telegrams from Mitchell, Ind., charging STOTTS with abandoning his wife and three children, also charging embezzlement, and stating he is the worst kind of criminal. He will have his examining trial Monday and will also be held for the papers from Indiana. Our people are very indignant at such treatment.
