The Storm In the West.
CHICAGO, October 17th.--A terrific wind
prevailed all day yesterday, doing much
minor damage. The South Side rolling-mill
stack-house was torn down. -Four men were
buried in the ruins and fatally injured.
Others were slightly hurt.
CHICAGO, October 17th-The wind con-
tinued throughout the day with somewhat
less force. 1t was far less disastrous on the
lakes than might have been expected. because
warning sufficient had been given to allow
most of the craft to seek q harbor. The
only accident of serious nature reported Is
that the schooner B. W. Wells, Captain
Thierkauff, with iron ore from Escanada to
Chicago with crew of eight persons, foun-
dered off this port last night. and as none
of the crew have reported it is pre-
umed that all were lost. Its masts and spars
were sighted this morning. but no trace of
any of its crew We're found. The damage by
the wind will in the aggregate be very heavy
in this vicinity. The force of the wind seemed
most marked about the space included within
a radius of 100 miles from Chicago, but the
blow itself extended much further, Omaha
being about the western limit, Michigan the
eastern, central Illinois the southern and
Wisconsin the northern. The telegraph wires
remain in precarious condition. Many Of
them are entirely useless at present.
MILWAUKEE. October 17th.-The wind
storm here yesterday and last night was the
severest known in this section. The barome-
ter was never SO low. The wind came from
the south, blowing between 90 and 20 miles
an hour. Dispatches from La Crosse say the
storm all along the line of the Southern
Minnesota Railway is the severest known
in years. Passenger and freight trains
along the line are blockaded in snow-drifts
ten to twelve feet deep, and teams with
provisions have been dispatched to their re-
lief from several points. The train which
left La Crosse Friday has not been heard from
since leaving Fulda. That night all the cuts
of Paramount were filed with snow, packed
hard. Reports OF cattle, horses, ETC., having
persisted are constantly received. Loss of
human life is not yet reported. 1t is the
worst storm ever known in southern Mime
sofa and eastern Dakota, and is still raging.

Mrs Gardner sued the Central Denosit Com.
nany and Mrs Maria TO obtain nossession
of this property. The case was tried in the
Supreme Court The interest in the suit lay
particularly in the testimony of Mrs. Ma.
rina. She said that when she separated from
her husband in San Francisco she received
from him gold check for $50, 600, which she
gave to Gardner in trust soon after forming
his acquaintance He exchanged this check,
she says, and used $50, 900 of its proceeds
in purchasing bonds for her. For the
remaining $4,000 he gave her a
check for SlOG COO. which is in the box
in the Safe Deposit Company's vault.
Some of the bonds he had bought for her,
Mrs. Marina said, Gardner borrowed of her
to obtain funds to loan Read $500, upon
which amount he turned Reads note over to
her. Mrs. Marina's attorney, Frank w.
