THE CYCLONE.
Further Particulars Of the Storm
Meteor.

ST.. JOSEPH. Mo-, June 14.-A special
from Hopkins says:
The storm struck the earth in Atchi.
son township, this (Nodaway) county
travelling in a northearterly course,
dealing death and destruction to every.
thing in its way. Its path is near 80
rods wide, in which nothing seems to
have been left whole. The cyclone was
one of those funnel-shaped monsters
and was seen for many miles as it
waltzed across the country, terrifying
the people and drying them frantic in
to all possible avenues of safety. The
entire length of its track is about Il
miles.
The first building struck by the
storm was the Lone Star school.house,
which was totally demolished. The
next was the dwelling house of A. C.
Miller which was badly racked, win
dows and doors all knocked out and a
portion of the roof carried away. Mil
lers barn and out buildings were all
destroyed. The farm of Scott Bland
came next; the dwelling houses, barns,
and everything movable were swept
away, the family saving themselves by
escaping to an out door cave. From
this place the death dealing monster
waltzed over a short distance to the
farm of Zach Davidson, ana destroyed
everything on his place.
At King City. DeKalb county, a
CHRoSlcLE extra says the course of the
cyclone was little south of ofnOrth-west.
Coming this way it took the following
houses and barns away, not leaving a
board: Jasper Boyles, Mrs. Edwards,
John Bonhams, Job Pierce, L. G. Dan
gerGeld, Josiah Boyles, George Purvi-
ance, Israel Wood, Leb Garrett, r. c.
Nelson, and probably as many more of
which we have not heard. The dam
age resulting to building, fences, stock
and growing crops cannot be even ap.
pro1imated. A. Mclean lost 80 head
of fine cattle. Job Pierce lost head of
horses; Israe. Wood, $50 head of sheep
and several head of cattle and horses;
l.. G.. Dangerfield lost the most OF his
stock.
A faint idea OF the loss oan be formed
when we state that all the way from
Flag Springs to a point four miles
northeast Of King City. the cyclone
swept about 80 rods wide every living
thing before it, leaving bare the ground,
fully two.thlrds of the houses being
blown away.
In the second cylone at this point the
first house struck was John Calls; it
was swept out Of esistenoe aud all his
family injured. A small child has
since died. Another man whose name
we failed to learn was killed near Ber-
lin: also Cne woman fatally injured.
The killed and wounded are: Il. C.
Nelson, killed outright; G. c. Maynard,
killed: Miss Maynard, killed: man
near Berlin (name unknown) killed;
Mrs. George Raherts and child, both
killed; Miss Ager, injured and will die;
