Further details of the terrible work of
Saturdays cyclone, on the homestead Of
Mrs. Van Norstrand, sister-in-law of Mr..
Thomas Lewis, near Springfield, Ills, is
given in Sundays Register as follows
"The young man Hulett was the only one
who succeeded in getting into the cellar.
The foundation was of brick and the cy-
clone seemed to descend from above and
crush it out of sembance. William Van
Norstrand, who died yesterday morning at
10 o'clock, was pinned to the floor of the
ruined house by two heavy timbers falling
on top of his head, crushing in head and
face. He was chopped out with an ak

ticed near the Sugar creek bridge, and did
not look to be more than twenty or thirty
feet high. Almost all the stock were killed
or are missing from this place. The loss
is very heavy, but was insured for $4,000.
The casualties would not have been any
here, but William, in his attempts to induce
his mother, who is an old lady, to 60 into
the cellar, delayed too long. The earth
trembled, as If with an earthquake.
In the storm OF Saturday near Spring
field, Ills, house belonging to Mr.. Thorn
as Lewis, of this city, and occupied by
nephew, niece and sster-in-law OF Mr..
Lewis, was demolished, and all the inmates
were injured and Mr.. Van Norstrand, the
nephew, young man about thirty years
of age, died from the injuries he received
and was buried Sunday. A Springfield
Register reporter, who was on the scene OF
the catastrophe soon after the storm, spoke
of the terrible work OF the
wind on this premises as follows
"This house was struck just as the family
were preparing to seek safety in the cellar,
and was completely demolished. The de-
struction of the house was by far the hight
est feature of the disaster, as all, or nearly
all, of the inmates were wounded, one of
them fatally. They we're soon after taken
by the neighbors to the residence of Mr..
McVeight, and Drs. Matthews and Morgan
were summoned from the city to attend
them. They found William Van Nor

Van Norstrand, had shoulder broken his
sister Maggie, had a thigh badly broken
by falling timber; and younger sister had

inmate OF the house, had his back hurt, not |

house and barn to be between $1,000 and |
$4,000. He will go to Springfield to-mor-
