ly with terrific crash, bounded from
earth, and came down again near the
house of Mr.. Gore, which IL passed
through, leaving its sidewalks standing.
The funnel-shaped cloud then rose high
in the air and disappeared in the north
west. The heaviest rain ever known in
this section accompanied the tornado,
actually deluging the country it passed
over.
ST. LOUIS, June ].
No particulars of Friday evenings
cyclone in Marshal County, Kan, have
been received to-day, but a report
comes from Brookville, Kan, at least
seventy-five miles southwest of Irving,
the town where the most destruction
took place, that terrible wind storm
passed over the country northwest of
there Friday afternoon, and doing
great damage to farm property and
killing several people. A cyclone also
struck the outer edge of Kirksville,
Adair County, Mo-, Friday evening,
demolished about n dozen houses,
badly damaged several others, and Sc
verely injured several persons, one
woman being reported killed. Very
high winds also prevailed north and
northeast of st. Joseph, Mo. A grain
elevator at Hopkins, Mo-, was de-
stroyed, several small dwellings, barns,
etc, were blown down, and an eleva-
tor at Craig Station, on the Kansas
City, st. Joseph & Council Bluffs Rail-
road, destroyed. Considerable damage
was done to other buildings, trees were
uprooted, fences and barns were blown
down, and crops damaged all along the
line of the storm.
1t is not unlikely that these storms
had common origin out on the plains
in Western Kansas, and that some local
cause broke the original cloud into
fragments, that separate storms were
formed from these, one of which trav-
ersed the northern tier of counties in
Kansas, another travelled eastward,
striking the earth in Jackson County,
Mo-, thence moved northeast to Kinks
vile and beyond, and the third and
weakest one of the three passing over
the country in the neighborhood of st.
Joseph.
A dispatch from Sabetha, June I'd,

eral casualties are reported in other

storm. 1t is therefore certain no less
than forty have been killed and seventy

severely.
The destruction of property will foot
up very large, but no reliable estimates
can yet be formed of the amount
Hundreds of houses have been de-
stroyed, and crops in the path of the
cyclone are utterly destroyed. The
track of the cyclone varies from three
fourths of mile to one mile in width
at intervals, as it occasionally left the
ground for a short distance and again
descended. Wherever it touched the
ground it swept everything clean of
houses, trees and crops. Where it
crossed the Blue River it lifted every
drop of water in its course, and in
passing well in Irving it scooped it
dry.
