storm. 1t is therefore certain no less
than lorty have been killed and seventy
or eighty wounded, all tho latter very Sc.
yerely. The destruction OF property will
foot up very large, but no reliable esti.
mate can yet be formed OF the amount.
Hundreds OF houses have been destroyed
and the crops in the path OF the cyclone
utterly destroyed. The track OF the cy-
clone varies from three-quarters OF mile
TO mile in width at intervals, as it occa.
sionally left the ground for a short dis
tance and again descended. Where 1t
touched the ground it swept everything
clear OF houses, trees and crops. Where
It crossed the Blue River it lifted every
drop OF water in its course, and in passing
over well at Irving gscooped 1t dry.
The committees from this city and St.
Joseph he!da meeting at Irving and issued
the following address:
IRVING, KS, June 2, 1870.
At meeting Of the Relief Committees
OF the cities Of st. Joseph, No., and Atchi-
son, KS, held at this place yesterday, il
was decided to jointly present to the char
itably disposed persons Of the neighboring
and other localities, that having come to
this place and made a thorough examina-
tion, We find the destruction Of life and
property occasioned by the tornado OF the
S0th ultimo, is Unprecedented in the
history OF our State; that many OF the
inhabitants OF the territory thus visited
are left entirely destitute OF house, cloth
ing, food and farming Implements, and
that unless immediate relief is afforded
great suffering must ensue. To the &C.
complishment OF this end We propose to
exercise the discretion accorded us by our
localities respectfully, and in addition to
the assistance already furnished, hereby
authorize the Relief Committee OF
Irving 70 draw at sight on the
Hon. ]. G. Tomlinson, chairman OF the
relief committee Of Atcheson, for the sum
OF $500; on Hon. s. ]. Smith, chairman OF
relief committee Of 81. Joseph, for like
sum, $500 Of such money TO be used by
said relief committee Of irving as in their
judgment may seem best toward relieving
the dcstitution. in Marshall county.
All the wounded mentioned are severe.
ly injured, scarcely any escaping with less
than broken limbs, and quite number OF
them are dangerously and some mortally
