The Warner weekly sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1885, 1883-09-01

stands the large Cole mill, with a cyclonic bite
naken from its western end. To the south Of
it is o train Of eight loaded
cars turned and twisted as il Of straw, while
in the race at the northern side are two more
cars bloan bodily from the track and into the
water. The owner of the mill was lifted fifty
teot vertically and hurled against a bank and
killed. Not a bone in his body was left IN
brcSen. Rochester, as every one knows,
was q beautiful city, aud rs much on &C
ooppt OF its trees as anything. A
1c,re of years will not restore its pristine
loneliness in this direction. Some Of the
streets in the best pert of the city are i'm
passable, snd looking up or down them one
sses aothing bnt a tangled mass of
trunks and foliage jammed across the
roadway. Scarcely a residence-Mr Van
Dusen's is about the only one-that has not
suffered more or less: and in many cases
heavy chimneys were crashed through the
roofs and garrets into the floors below. But
description is utterly unable to portray the re-
suits of a storm which, in the worst Of its
path, absolutely
SWEPT PART OF Il EARTH AWAY,
leaving nothing Of grass OF tree, or shrub.
The relief committee is doing all possible, and
residents are subscribing all they can,
but help is needed, and speedily. Roch-
ester gave literally to relieve those
who suffered in the July cyclone, and now
feels justified in calling for aid to meet the
horrors and alleviate the sufferings consequent
on the worst calamity Minnesota has ever
known, confined in the same space. Superin-
tendent Sanborn, Of the Winona & ST.
Peter, is here, and is doing all pos
sible to repair damages. Passengers
transferred around the ruins Of the bridge
over the Zumbro and the Horton elevator,
which lies bodily across the track. The tele-
graphic facilities are vely poor, Not a pole in
or near the town was standing this morning,
and hundreds of messages are sent in for
transmission to absent friends. In addition to
