Destructive Tornado.

Our dispatches this morning con-
tain a highly-wrought account of a
tornado which swept over portions Of
Iowa on Thursday. 1t vas a half:
mile in width, and literally de-
stroyed everything in its curse.
Several lives were lost and many
people seriously injured. In N in
stance a girl fourteen years of age was
caught up and blown a distance of a
mile, crushing her to a jelly. Cattle
were bio wn into the ground, and hail
stones, nine inches in diameter, fell
thick and fast. Houses and barns
were leveled and huge timbers filled
the air. 1t was certainly n of the
most destructive hurricanes that has
ever visited the Northwest.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1873-05-24

south Of Walton. The tornado was
about half a mile wide, and tore into
fragments everything that came in
its course. Houses, barns, fences,
trees, cattle and human b. ings were
caught up and whirl,d through the
AR like mere TOYS, and then dashed on
the ground with such force as to pro-
duce instant death with animated be-
ings. Houses and barns were torn TO
fragments and scattered for miles
around. The fields are dotted with
large timbers driven into the ground
at an angle OF 80 deg, and cattle were
actually driven headtoremoSt in
10 the ground. One can scarce
ly conceive of the devastation
OF realize the force of the
tornado. Already we have heard of
Is farm houses and many barns that
were literally torn to pieces, and sew
eral Others badly damaged. The
SchoOl-houSe, six miles north, was
torn TO pieces, and the 14-year-old
daughter of Henry Rathnell carried
about Il quarter OF Il mile from the
schOol-house, dashed to the ground
and crushed to a Jelly. Miss Smith,
the teacher, and six or eight scholars,
were hurt, some badly. Henry Wal
terS was killed, and Miss Gardner and
IA son of Alexander Gibson laid at the
point of death from the injuries re-
ceived. n gentleman, who was near
the tornado when it passed, reports
that it was balloon->haped, with the
small end to the ground, and moved
at the rate of about 20 miles an
hour. 1t commenced its fearful work
near keoka, where it demolished
several residences. We next hear of
it about six miles northwest, where it
destroyed two or three houses, and as
it passed on north and east it scattered
to the four winds. The fine residences
and barn of Alex. Gibson, j. A. Bah.
cock and j. c. C~ullingham were lev
elled to The ground: also the dwelling
of c. Cancer, +, and II. Walters, MIR,
Carringer and Mr.. Kerr. MANY per-
SONS, lives were saved by hastily get
made with all kinds of stock. From
an v witnesses description it is al.
most a miracle that anything in its
track escaped alive. He says he
could see large pieces of timber
hurled from the cloud us though shot
from IA canon. Hail fell that meas
ured nine inches in diameter, Some
were brought to this city and tOul
hours after they were picked up were
as large as hens eggs. The roaring OF
the tornado was fearful and could
have been heard easily ten miles. AT
this place, six miles away it WAS per
fectly appalling, surprising anything
we ever heard, except the roar ano
din Of a terrific battle.
A telegram from KeOka, last even
ing says FIVE persons were killeC
about three miles from that place
One child was orn to pieces. Our re-
ports are only from "a few points or
the line of the hurricane, and we cam
estimate the amount of damage, but
it must be many thousand dollars
Many mole lives were lost than prob
ported, and no estimate can be made
of the amount of stock killed.

alone and talk over matters, that both
parties might come TO an amlcapie
understanding. No Modoc would
surrender without a reace talk. FAR
child says the squaws are as one

told the squaws to return To the MO-
docs and tell them he would not come

dams must om to hfm il they ante
to talk. He would allow a surrender,
and they had till Friday morning TO

YREKA, May %.
From }. H.. Mccoy, who just came
in from Fairchild's in eight hours and
fifty minutes, we learn that the Hot
creek band were brought in by Fair
child's party and surrendered TO Gen
eral Davis, apparently uncondltion-
ally. They gave up their arms and
were put under guard. The band
numbered fitty-tive ONE and chill
dren, including fifteen warriors ;
among the number, Bogus Charley
Shack Nasty jim, Curly-head, Doctor
Frank and others, the best fighting
men Captain Jack had. Boston is
believed to be killed, and Hooka Jim
is hunting him. 1t is supposed there
are twenty warriors with Captain
Jack, whose whereabouts is unknown,
though it is surniiSed he is in tue Pitt
river mountains.
General Gillem has been super.
seeded by General Wheaton. General
Hardie, General Gillem, Lieutenant
Rockwell and others are expected in
from the front this evening. when we
will probably have further particu'
lars Of the surrender. Mccoy SAYS
General Davis was very bluff with
the Indians, and gave them to under
stand If they attempted to escape they
would be shot by the guard.
