EroRE THE CYCLONE
Tn weather throughout the day had been
unsettled but not unusually threatening.
Clouds would form and disappear, forming
again heavier than before. The wind was
mostly from the southeast, blowing scud clouds
with it, while away above the rain-bearing
stratum drove from the northwest all day.
About 8 O'Clock q black cloud rose in the west,
very threatening, but it passed harmlessly by
with furious wind and some
drops of rain. At . low
black bank lay in the southwest It rose rap
idly, but presented only the appearance of an
city it began to assume q horrible appearance.
The whole sky was tinged . ghastly green,
and the masses of clouds swept around
here and there in gigantic circles. Wherever
it was possible people took 10 their cellars, and
in no case where that was done was life lost,
In the upper part of the city the darkness was
At no time great; but at the lower part of town
it grew dark as night,
FILLING EVERYONE WITH TERROR.
Then came the awful roar so we'll known a. the
precursor Of 9 cyclone. and the storm burst
upon the doomed city. Houses we're as straws
in the grasp Of this terrible
power aud no troe. of whatever size, in
the track Of the storm withstood
its fury. The whirling, swaylng funnel left
the broken country west of the city and struck
the farm of Mrs. Fatroute. lying two miles
south, where the timber, buildings and grain,
both standing, shocked and stacked, were
wholly destroyed Thence it moved down
the valley of the Cascade toward the
northeast, with . track about . mile wide,
Tbs dwelling Of Mathew Engel, . large two.
story frame building, was raised in The air and
dashed back . shapeless mass of ruins. His
barn, . new. large substantial one, shared the
same fate. Tho house and outbuildinRs on the
farm Of John R Cook were
CRUSHED PERFECTLY FLAT.
Tho family Of the tenant, Mr.. Ecker, was In the
eellar and escaped. On NJ. Ainslis's place,
Just north Of hero, all Was laid aat but the
house. which was partly unroofed. On. DR..
Eaton's fam, tho family took refuge in the
stone basement Of the barn and barely escaped
with their lives Tho condition of things in
the northern part Of the city defes description.
A few splintered stumps and scattered boards
remain to show where tho Third ward
was. The buildings in this part
Of tho city were mostly one
story frame houses. Many Of them withou.
