The noise Of the storm, the crash of falling
houses and the cries and screams of terrified
people made scene of horror that beggars
description.
Seventy.one victims of the storm have
been buried and twenty five or more are re-
ported in dying condition. 1Ae number
seriously wounded is about $50. A babe,
about eighteen months old, whose mother was
killed, and whose friends were all wounded,
was found on the next day, in ravine north of
the town, where it lay at night. 1t is doing

on the same afternoon in tree top, where
it had been nearly.four hours. 1t was con-
siderably bruised, but will recover. 1twas
claimed by its parents, who live two miles
and half from the southern portion of
the town. The chld's aerial flight, there

A wagon has been found that was carried
four miles by the wind, and section of
smoke stack of mill that was carried three
miles and half. 1t is reported from thirty
to forty persons have been killed by spurs
of the tornado in the country. and that the
town of Corsicana, in Barry county, is as
badly wrecked as Marsh6eld.
The storm was also severe at Champaign
and Ell Paso, Illinois, and at Jone>ville,
Wisconsin. At the latter place property was
damaged to the amount of 100000. The
destruction of property at MarshGeld and
vicinity will aggregate 100000. OF the
800 inhabitants of Marshfeld, seven-eighths
of them are now without houses clothing,
food, or the means to procure them. The
destitution and suffering are terrible.
Ending Of an Old Feud.

ing, Charles DsYoung was shot and killed in
San Franssco by I. NJ. Kallocb, son of the
Mayor of that city. The tragedy was the re-
suit of an old feud, dating from last summer,
when the Chronicle, of which DeYoung was
editor, was violent opponent of the elder
Kalloch in the municipal election, and pend
ing which DeYoung shot Kalloch, inficting
severe wound. The telegraph gives the fol
lowing particulars Of the affair:
Just before the occurrence, Charles De
Young entered the business office of the Chron
icle, on the ground floor, corner of Kearney
and Bush streets, and stood talking with
some gentlemen, leaning against the counter.
Directly door opened, I. NJ. Kalloch enter
ed, and drawing pistol, without, rs far as
can be learned, speaking word, began firing
on DeYoung. The latter ran through a gate
in the counter behind desk inside, Kallnch
firing at him as he ron On reaching the desk,
DeYoung turned face to face with his oppo.
nent, with a pistol in hand, when Kalloch,
leaning over the counter fired again, the ball
striking DeYoung in the mouth. Kalloch
then started for the door. DeYoung raised
his pistol as if to fire, but strength failed him,
for the pistol was not discharged, and sink
ing backward, he fell to the floor. Bystanlers
ran to his assistance, but the ball had evi.
IDENTIFY pierced the base of the brain, and in
few minutes he expired. As KalIoch ran out
of the door he was seized by citizen, and at
the same moment an officer came up and took
him in charge and conducted him to the city
prison, where he was locked up. News Of the
murder flew through the city like the wind, end
in few moments the street in the vicinity Of
the Chronicle Office was crowded with people,
eager to learn the particulars of the affair.
Policemen were at once stationed at the doors
of the office, to keep out the inquisitive crowd,
and only personal friends and reporters were
admitted in the office. w. H. DeYoung.

Young kalloch, on being arrested, was, as
the arresting officer remarked, the coolest
man he ever saw. He still carried the
smoking pistol in his hand, which he surren-
dered to the officer on the way to the station
house. He observed strict reticence on be.

to have any intercourse whatever with repre-.

any explanations from the assassin, of the
cause of the act, it is generally understood to
be attributable to pamphlet which has re-
Gently been circulating about the city, at
tacking Mayor Kalloch, the father of the
young slayer. During his recent visit East,
it is believed the deceased devoted great at
tention to gathering up matters regarding the
past life of Mayor Kalloch, for the presumed
purpose of either using it at the expected tri.

Kalloch, last August, or Of making it sub

above referred to was document Of some six.

loch's scandal in Boston and other matters
of a scandalous nature. The pamphlet was
anonymous, butyoung Kalloch evidently con-
sidered that deceased was responsible for its
