Kidnapping of Mulholland Is Proved to Be Frank
Victim Reports to Police and Is Taken on Second
(Science Service)
Ride
The alleged kidnapping of Edward Mulholland, c235, of Topeca, on which he was held, up and taken to the outskirts of Lawrence, and Tuesday night he was taken to the stadium, and his life threatened, so he was moved, has been definitely proven to be a brisk of designing *schoolboy* games. He came from several authentic sources. On the first occasion Mulholland reported to the police, whereupon he was sent back to school. His life was not worth anything. He was given the alternative of going to Kansas City with his trousers on, or resuming his schooling. He chose the latter, and returned home late that night to tell a story of what happened for fear of a return, he went to Topica Wednesday where it is thought he recuperated from the terrible ex-trainer.
Montine, Mr. Mulholland has received columns of unpublished-for-asked books from the University of the Karan, in two issues of the Journal-World, and in the Sunday New Yorker.
His friends believe that he will be able to sleep much better, now that the affair has been discovered to be a prank.

St. Louis has suffered from tornadoes more than any other American city. In May, 1836, one of these "twisters" killed 253 people, and again in Sept. 1927, 45 people were killed in a tornado and $1,000,000 worth of damage done.
The tornado itself is a whirling vortex or funnel of winds reaching high elevations. The wind speeds can reach 40 miles an hour. The velocity of its whirling winds has never been measured, but meteorologists say they do metrology say their speed must reach 400 and 500 miles an hour. In the storm's center, a slight vacuum exists that increases the force for many miraculous feats credited to tornadoes. When this area of how air behaves causes the structure to explode, because of the higher normal atmospheric pressure remaining in the house which causes the structure to explode.
Meteorologists have not yet satisfactorily explained the conditions existing between the Rocky and Appalachian mountains which are adjacent to the valley. They believe that currents of air blowing in opposite directions at the cloud level set up the initial whirl which at certain times causes the air to ground and form a ternado.
Nine per cent of tornado damage is done in Iowa, Missouri suffers next, and Arkansas experiences no necropsia. Illinois and Wisconsin follow in order. Eighty per cent of the damage is done in Arkansas.
