while coming through hurriedly in the coach OF
the Western Stage Company
The farthesl point West from which we have
heard Of the storm Of Sunday afternoon, is Fort
Dodge where the wind was very strong and the
hail aud rain copious but no serious damage
done, except the breaking of some window panes
by the hail.
At Webster CITY. in Hamilton county. about
twenty miles east Of Fort Dodge, almost every
pane Of glass In the west side Of buildings was
riddled 4 If . shower Of bullets had been fred
through them.
The rain was the most copious, while it lasted,
that has been known for wears in that part OF
the State, and the hail was of unusual size
Some Of the hail stones that were measured we're
seven and half inches in circumference, and
some Of them of long conicsl shape.-Dubuoue
Times.
From the Davenport Gasette
We have collected some singular incidents
connected with escapes, deaths, ETC., by the tor
nado, and in some cases illustrating its mighty
force
little girl. three years old, was found in
slouah in the North. western part of this county
this aide Of the i" Waubsey," near Mrs. Bradon's
residcnce. and probably couple Of miles from
the track Of the tornado. She was seen to fall,
and was found with her head buried in the mud
Taken out. she was found vet aliue. She was
taken care Of. and is now apparently well, ex.
ccptinc she is not altogether sensible. She can
not tell ANYTHING about herself, and is utterly
unknown.
From Rodgers Settlement, in Clinton county.
q child four years old was carried distance Of
two miles and killed.
OF Mr.. Walrod's family of six in the same
county, all were killed but one, little girl, who
was carried half mile, and escaped with life, but
was badly injured.
Mr.. Ames, who lived in q fine new brick, saw
the storm coming, and hurried or forced his fam
lily into root house. A few minutes afterwards
they came out, and found house, barns, etc,
in ruins. Several of his horses were killed,
. I'd one had rail driven completely through his

leaving the family in their position almost unn.
jured.
An apparent branch of the tornado crossed
the river about mile above Princeton, and nine |
below Camanche. 1t was in the form Of q column, |
and like water spout OF spray. II blew down 1
several houses on the other side of the river
Its edge appeared to pass, in the form of strong
wind, the upper part OF Princeton
A relative to Mr.. Eli Milliner, at Cananche,
in the exigency Of the moment, hurried his wife
and infant child to the cellar. They had safely
reached the bottom, when Eli attempted to fol-
low; but, at this instant, the wi..d lifted the
house probably six or eight feet He, however,
had made spring to reach his wife and child,
but was caught in the waistband Of his pants by
The floor rafters and carried under the house the
distance which it moved Wheni settled down,
a heavy pile Of timber lodged directly over his
breast He cried for help few times, and then
WAS chilled by DEATH, Mr.. Milliner seemed to
have foreboding Of his death; for few hours
previously, he adbeen speaking with his wife in
reference to his possible sudden death, and sta
ted to her the disposition which he desired should
be made Of their property.
Mrs. Chase, the wife Of the Post Master at
Camanche, was buried with her child in the ruins
Of their house: Her child, but one or two years
DID, was killed instantly, while she was uninjured,
save that her foot was held fast between some
part Of the ruins by large log. After some two
hours hard labor she was extricated.

standing on the portico of the third floor of the
Willard Hotel, when the wind took him up and
carried about two hundred feet, and let him down
