The air was filled with the ruins
in an instant. Men and animals
were picked up and carried away
amid the horrible din, by power
they could not resist. The Gardner
House, a large hotel, at which
several Chicago people we're stop
ping, was utterly demolished. 1t
seems incredible tha: the loss of life
could have been 80 small as it act
ually was. This storm was over
in ABOUT fou: minutes and before the
stricken people could realize what
the matter was, it had passed and
left the streets filed with tho
wreck, mingled with the dead and
wounded. Nothing escaped Mills.
lumber, domestic utensils, and liv-
ing creatures were scattered every
where in one awful wreck.
1t was found after the wind had
subsidized that the width of the
! storm was about 1000 feet. The
forest through which it passed was
uprooted. Not a tree was left
standing, but all lay twisted and
broken in every conceivable shape
The tornado was in the form of .
whirlwind and irresistible in its
force. The depot was lifted from
| its foundation and carried some
| distance and set down again, with'
out having suffered much damage
Only three or four houses wer'
