SEVENTEEN DEATHS

half dozen people missing, and nothing
can be heard from them. For instance,
John Seibel was on his way to Hector
with team when the storm came,
and he has not since been heard from.
The number of killed, it is feared, will
be considerably greater than supposed,
while the wounded are turning up every
hour So many were injured that but
little attention is paid to new cases. Of
the injured a great many will never re-
cover The killed and wounded have al
ready been published In the GLOBE, but
as matter Of course, in the hurry and
confusion incident to such q catastrophe,
many of their names were mis-spelled
snd they are therefore reproduced. After
the report telegraphed to the GLOBE last
light, it was reported that family Of
Iine living a short distance in the county
had been killed, but this remains to be
confirmed.

APPEARANCE OF THE TOWN.
As before stated, it would be impossi-
ble to give anything like description of
New Ulm as it now is, except to say that
it looks like huge summer garden.
With but few exceptions the houses are
all unroofed and the windows completely
shattered. In many cases the gable ends
of houses are knocked out, and others
blown away altogether. There is not
single house in the city that does not
bear marks of the storm.
The streets on all sides are
covered with the remains of the
wreck, such as tin roofs, shingles, bricks
lattered up, farm machinery, fallen trees.
signs, glass Iamps-in fact you can pick
up remnants of almost any article. The
main business street runs east and west,
and is about quarter of mile from the
railroad. Coming from the depot
SIGNS OF THE CYCLONE
can be perceived in the shape of un-
rooted houses, ETC., but the full effect can
be seen upon emerging upon Main street,
where the devastation is simply awful
Hundreds of people who had heard
of the storm visited New
Ulm, yesterday and to-day, supposing
that the reports had been exaggerated,
but when they stood face to face with the
terrible work the general verdict was
that it was far greater than they had
conceived. To appreciate the
TERRIBLE SPECTACLE
of New Ulm, after the storm, one must
see it. Take, for instance, East Third
street unroofed, windows knocked out,
fronts blown away, the streets filled with
debris, making it almost impossible; build
ings propped up, walls bullying out,
ready to fall; pieces of trees and
farm mac hinery scattered promiscuously
wherever you go, and you have New Ulm
The storm seemed to have a special
grudge against brick blocks, churches
and school houses, as there is not one of
either left intact.
THE REAL SUFFERERS.
The real damage of the calamity has
not as yet been fully realized except by
the poorer classes of the people, who
have been rendered homeless and desti-
tute, and will be until the excitement
has somewhat died away, and the work of
rebuilding and cleaning up the debris
has been commenced. Although the
business men are the heaviest
losers, they will not feel it as much as
the laboring men who have no houses to
80 to, and nothing to eat or wear. Still
these more destitute sufferers are being
cared for as well as could be expected
under the circumstances.
Tie New Ulm Guards are on duty reg
nlarly every night, in order to protect
PROPERTY against thieves.
