ANOTHER FEARFUL STORM.
Central Dakota and Mime.
sofa Devastated.

Eight Persons Killed, sixty-Five
Wounded and Eighty-Five
Buildings Wrecked
M st. Paul Pioneer-Press, sd.
The hurricane on Saturday morning
seems to have originated in the vicinity
of Hitchcock. on the northern boundary
Of Beadle county, Oak, reaching from
that point north q far as Redfield. M.
merous buildings were torn down and
several persons wounded, some fatally.
Passing east the storm is next heard of
in CodiDgton county. where much dam
age was done, particularly to the crops
So far ss can be learned from the dis
patches, it was next heard of at Sleepy
Eye, Brown county. where it was accom-.
panied with terrific hail. From there il
went to New Ulm, and. crossing ths
Minnesota river, passed on through
Nicollet county to st. Peter, laying
waste the crops in its course. From
st. Peter it seems to have fol-
lowed tho general course Of the
Winona & st. Peter road through
Kasota, Janesville. Waseca, Meridian,
Owatenna, Dodge Center and Mantor.
vile to Rochester, where it made q
sharp turn to the northeast to- the vii.
lage of Elgin, Wabasha county, which II
almost completely demolished. Beyond
this point the force of the storm seems to
have been broken, little damage being
reported from the eastward. The list Of
casualties is long one, and the damage
to the property is very large. Thus far
eight are reported killed and about sixty
more or less seriously injured. The
blowing OF passenger train from. the
track near Owatonna resulted in the in.
Jury of some forty people. The town d
Elgin suffered most severely, being
almost completely wiped out, and several
being killed. A complete account of
this disaster, however, is unattainable
owing to the tslegraphic trouble
and the fact that the town is some dis.
tance from the railroad. The loss ol
property cannot as yet be estimated, but
is very great. Dodge county, particu.
!arly in the vicinity Of Mantofville. VA
the scene OF disaster and general wreck
both to buildings aud crops. Owatonns
and Waseca are also heavy sufferers
the buildings on the State fair grounds
at the former place being entirely de
stroyed, As yet returns are 30 incom
plete that no estimate is attempted 81
the loss either to the crops or to othei
property, but as the path of the storm
was through productive agricultural
country, the aggregate amount will un
doubtedly be very large.
