Franklin. Neb., June 5.---Two tornadoes passed just east of this place about one hour apart today, causing one death and doing great damage to property. HENRY MADISON was caught in the center of the storm and killed. Probably 20 houses within five miles of town are completely wrecked. A large amount of live stock was killed.
