DEATH AND pEsTRUCTIoS ~ MINNESOTA.
ST. PAUL, July 1.-THE town Of New
L IN, on the Minnesota river. about
sixty miles from here. and containing
about $500 people, was wrecked by a
cyclone late on Friday afternoon. 1t
seems that two currents Of air swept the
valley simultaneously. coming from dif.
ferent directions. The scene waa ap.
palling: stone and brick buildings were
raised from their foundations and the
air was full of debris. The town and
its suburbs are now mass Of ruins.
The people hre organizing for the work
that is before them, and will be prepar.
Ell to commence the rebuilding of their
city tomorrow. Workmen from ST.
Peter and Mankato are on hand, and
things are beginning TO assume some
system. The Governors Guards are on
duty protecting property. Large crowds
visited the scene of the disaster, to-day
and a special from Redwood Falls was
run. The following is a partial list Of
the killed and wounded in New Ulm !:
Laura Reitz, Anna Warner, Anna Leisch
Meggari. Wounded Mrs. Warner,
struck by lightning. She WAS lying on
the floor with a small babe, which was
killed. The bolt struck her on the
breast and extended TO her feet, leaving
the body as black ss a coal. She can.
not remember an event in her life an.
terror to the time she was struck, and
will probably die. Mrs. Reits' arm was
broken twice. Ida Leisch left leg brok.
en-. A Swede boy, name unknown,
badly wounded in the neck and head
Mrs. Leisch, skull fractured and inter.
nal injuries. probably fatal. Many 9th.
ers were more or less injured. Loss,

Pos8cssion Of by II Band Of RoJJers-Th
Conductor Shot Through tie Hcart-An.
other Man Meets Death by SHOT in Me
Hcad.
KANSAS City, Mo-, July lG.-Informa.
ton has been received here by an in
coming Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
ciiic train Of u daringly planned and
successful train robbery at Winston, on
the Rock Island Road, a short distance
east OF Cameron. The robbers were six
in number, and were supposed TO be
under the leadership of Jesse James
The men boarded the train, which leaves
this city at g l.. NJ, at Cameron. At
winston, when the train stopped, they
stood up in the aisle of "a car with drawn
revolvers. One of the bandits advanc.
ed with revolver in each hand toward
William Westfall, the conductor, and
ordered him to hold up his hands.
The conductor was slow in complying
with this demand, and was shot through
the heart by the desperado. One OF the
other men shot through the head John
Mccullough, stonecutter, of Wilton
junction, who turned outward in his
seat The men then went through the
train to the express car and overpower.
ed the United States Express messenger,
Charles Murray, who was intimidated
into opening the safe, from which $1,000
was taken. The desperadoes then went
10 the engine and told the engineer TO
start his train. This he could not do
on account Of the automatic brake, and
he was at once fired upon by the rob.
b9rs. The engineer put out the lights
in the cab and crawled along the foot.
board to the pilot, and after extinguish.
ing the headlight lay down in the pilot.
The robbers made no search for him,
but departed. No attempt was made
TO rob the passengers. The populace
rose en- masse, and armed men are now
seeking the desperadoes.
CHICAGO. July lG.-Prcsident Riddle,
Of the Rock Island Road, has received
a dispatch confirming the report Of a
daring train robbery at Winston, Mo.
The superintendent of the road offers a
reward af 5000 for the apprehension
of the robbers. Tho officers Of the
United States Express Company say
that the amount taken from their safe
cannot exceed 5000.
kansas CRY, Mo, July l7.-There is
considerable evidence to show that the
train robbery on the Rock Island Road
last Friday evening was done by the
notorious James gang, and 1t may prove
