Destruriion by the Hurricane.
DEs MoIsEs, June 2l.-A report from
Storey county indicates further destruc-
ton west of Kelly. Mrs. Clark and
daughter were killed at Garden Prairie.
and Turner's house and barn were de-
stroyed and his horse carried mile and
dashed to pieces. Roberts lost his barn
and three horses. Geo. Lewis's house
was wrecked. He and his wife and
daughter held to wire fence. Irving's
barn and other buildings were wiped
away. All accounts seem to indicate
that the tornado originated in Boone
county, having been seen but little
further west of there. Prof. j. X. Mac
Comber, of the Agricultural College,
puts its commencement in the southeast
corner Of that county. After damaging
the barn of Mr.. Lewis, it divided, one
branch going north one and half
miles. tearing Clark's house to splin-
ters. A half mile further ON the houses
of Turner and Roberts were completely
wrecked. South of Ames eight head of
cattle were twisted up and torn to
pieces in a wire fence. Wickham's
house in that vicinity went next. and
then MsFarland's and half mile fur
ther Tsmpleton's. The width of the
funnel, MacComber says, was 200 feet,
tearing trenches in the ground from one
to three feet deep and fifty feet in length
in the sod or hard road indiscriminately.
It is thought that these trenches may
have been plowed by the wrecked
houses. A branch OF the tornado went
toward Kelly, whittier the darage has
already been described in the telegram
The south branch started at Garden
Prairie, Boone county, at N O'Clock.
1t was south Of Ames at 7:45, at Grin
nell at S:45 and $40. and at Mount
Pleasant at IL. Many describe the
storm cloud az like long rope, swing
ing back and forward, and reaching
from sky to earth. Hundreds of per-
sons were seriously hurt, and probably
fifty of them fatally. Over 800 families
have had their houses totally destroyed.
and there are at least 1900 homeless and
in want. The loss in property will OK
ceed two million dollars, and may reach
three millions. In Grinnell alone over
800, 900 dollars in property was de-
stroyed, in which there was not cent
of insurance, as in case of fires. 1t will
take at least 500. 1910 to put the people
there beyond need and dist ress, and it
will take 100000 at once to put the
wounded people in condition to be cared
for. twill take a million dollars at the
lowest to keep the sufferers from want
and help them put thehumblest of roofs
over their heads. The people of Dcs
Moines and Iowa are responding gen.
erously. Citizens of this city have sub
scribed 5000, and will make it $4,000
before night, in money. and are also
sending provisions and clothing besides.
