But the sensation of the day was sprung just prior to the withdrawal of the grand jury, when Dr. Eben Hillyer, the Foreman arose and in a few well put remarks, in behalf of the jury requested his honor to issue an order that would result in the placing of the Grand Jury in the County Commissions present quar ters. The order was granted and the sheriff instructed to make the nec essary changes so that the grand jury could occupy the quarters this afternoon. It will be remembered that the architects plan of the new court house named the County Commis sioners chamber as the Grand Ju ry room and that three grand ju ries have recommend that the charge of apartments be made.

Mrs. Penick was seriously bruised about the face and head, while Mr. Pen ick is internally injured and his wounds are dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. A little further on the cyclone demolished the home of Jim Col lier, colored, snd two of his child ren were caught in the falling tim bers. Their limbs were broken and they were .horribly mangled and may die from their injuries. Trees, fences and farmhiuses were blown away.
