Three Dead; Four ^ Fatally Injured; Thirty four Hurt. 1 t t Owatenna, Minn., Aug. 31.? c Tho wreck cn the Northwestern road Uve miles west of hero hist , ? t night probably was tho worst that ever happened in this section of , * the Stater Three persona ure f dead four fatally injured und others received injuries, some of ( them of a serious character. Investigation shows that tho j storm which wrought such dam- , age to the train was hut LOO feet ^ in width. From all reports it is , evident that the engine escaped j the fury of tho tornado by but a | few feet, but it remained standing on the track, while the oix coaches j in the train were picked up as if i they were feathers and rolled over j and over down tho steep embank- . merit. Four of the coaches caught . the full fury of tho storm and were carried much further than were ^ the other two. In these four j coaches occurred all the deaths ^ and the majority of the injuries. The baggage car received the ^ 9torni's full force anil was liter- , ally smashed to splinters. Con- ^ ductor Kensic may not survive ^ tho night. j The storm destroyed the grain ^ stacks of Thomas Haikc, 011 whose ^ farm tho wreck occurred, then passed between his house and barn, leaving them unharmed. It then , passed northwest through Modford, where a number of tg barns were demolished and several j( houses and other buildings overturned. ? ^ t ^ - b For the Usual Crime Was A ^ Georgia Negro Lynched. ^ Monticello, Ga., Aug. 31.? i in ., John Brown, a negro who attempt- 1 ed to criminally assault Miss ai Johnnie Choffin, a 12 year old < white girl, near Monticello yes- ru terday, was lynched early this p< morning by a small posse of men CI seven miles north of this place. lit Brown was captured six hours B after his crime and given a pre liminary hearing before a district C justice of the peace who ordered pi him sent here for safe keeping. n When seven miles from town to the deputy having Brown in cus- p tody waft, surrounded by a posse who demanded the prisoner.
