Great Destruction of Property and
Loss OF Life In Wiconsin.
MADISON, WIS, May N--The tornado
which passed over this place last night proves
to have been more wide spread and destruct-
i've than was thought last night. The storm
came from the direction of the southwest,
passing through section of the State where
no telegraph communication is established,
hence details of the great destruction
and loss of life are meager, though
enough has been received, however,
to show that the devastation and sacrifice of
life and property has been appalling. Ia the
vicinity of Primrose, twenty-five miles south
west of this city, and from there through
Mount Vernon to Paoli, the storm seems to
have done widespread damage. From
twenty-five TO thirty barns and farm-houses
were blown down, some of them utterly de-
stroyed, and the debris carried off before the
mighty avalanche of wind, some of it falling
twelve and fifteen miles away, one shutter of
a house falling In Lake Mendoza, near this
city. Some sixteen or eighteen persons are
known to be killed, and large numbers seri-
ously injured. Graphic, yet terrible, descrip-
lions are given of the terrific effect of the
tornado. Teams and wagons are reported
taken from the roads, carried in the air and
dashed to the ground. At DIR. George Fox's,
near Oregon, two valuable horses IN pas
ture were taken up one hundred feet in the
air, carried fifty rods and dashed to the earth,
killing them instantly. The storm came from
the direction of Mineral Point, where it
wrought such terrible damage, and raised from
ground seven or eight miles southwest of
here, and again striking the earth near Fort
Atkins, northeast of here. Near Primrose
and Paoli the storm seemed from half to
mile in width, and swept everything before
and shrubbery as with ii scythe. Further re-
turns may be had tonight.
