fiercely during the whole night.
i The full effects Of the storm were not
apparent until daylight returned,and the
survivors could come forsh from their re
treats. A party Of a $50 fortunately ran
together upon low meadow below the
! bridges, ana all were saved. A family
Of five persons saved themselves By
jumping into shallow well. Another
family of the same number were all suf-
| f'1cated by like resort A large num-
Der threw themselves into the mill pond
and sustained themselves by clinging to
the boom and floating logs, at the same
time continually W ting the head to pre-
vent it from roasting
We saw many children, some only one
month old, which had been kept in the
water the whole night, and yet survived.
Some who were too Ill to walk were taken
from their beds and thrown into the
water.
A large number were drowned, some
by being trampled upon or thrown off
from their legs by the cattle and horses
that, madGened by the fire, rushed invo
the water. Many entire families persisted.
Eleven was lost out Of one family.
Some Of the bodies were so thoroughly
burned ard consumed that they could b.
sc0oped up and held in The double hands.
Bat the details and incidents are too
narrowing TO relate
The tornado came from the southwest
and swept over tract Of couptry eight
or ten miles in width and of ind finite
length The timber in its course was
| filed By the wind and burned by the fire,

was swept aWay,With two or three excep-
tons, Sometimes the wind struck the
earth with such force that the small IN
dcrgrowth was torn up and kept IN win
rows, while at other times it would skip
away from the earth. The whole p0pu
lation of Peshtigo village and Of the farm
lands In it's vicinity was 900, and fully
one third Of those persisted on that fear
ful night. O. the east shore of the bay,
reports place the loss oflife full as high
as ut PeshtigO, making the entire loss OF
life reach tue fearfuily large number Of
1900.
The immediate wants Of the survivors
are nearly supplied, but no ipconsiderable
amount will be required TO enable them
o live through the winter. The proc
lametion OF Gov. Farchild Of the 18th
states truthfully the demands these per
sons have upon us. and is meeting with a
hearty response from every part Of the
state Let the good work 60 on, for if
ever there was a case for sympathy surely
this is one. The people have been literally
