Another Terrible Tornado.

At forty-five minutes past six on Tuesday
evening, the 2lst, at Rochester, Mimi, the
southwest interior OF the heavens assumed a
greenish tint which changed to a copper color,
then to bronze. 1t was noted that a decided
and dreadful inverted cone with height SEEM
ingly Unreasonable and murkiness appalling,
with the speed of a cannon ball came down the
valley at Silver Creek. When within half
mile of the city its roar could be heard fully
5000 feet in the air. 1t rose and In Its whirling
mass were trees, stones, animals and debris of
every conceivable description. The dome of
the court house melted from view. Trees
were stripped and twisted and lifted bodily into
the air with tons Of earth clinging to the roots.
Fifteen minutes of this and the monster had
departed. By eight o'clock the stars cropped
out and there was calm and silence, save as
broken with the groans OF the wounded and
dying. All night long citizens from the out
side toiled to render succor to the distressed.
By sunrise those Of the wounded who had
friends were taken to private houses, but the
majority were taken to large hall In Broad
way. The wounded were in a horrible plight
generally cut and bruised about the upper part
OF the body, and childish faces were seen with
wounds 80 CHASTITY that even the physicians
shuddered as they used sponge and needle. 1t
is believed that the tornado formed about six
miles south of Dodge Center, q small town in
the adjoining county, and travelled from the
southwest in northeast direction, passing near
Kasson and through Rochester. The portion Of
the city north OF the railroad, called the lower
town." suffered the most damage. Indeed,
there Is not house there that IL not injured,
and only about twenty are left standing. 1t

remains OF the houses show the terribly de-
structive force Of the winds As soon as the
cyclone had passed and the people In the more
favored portion OF the city began to learn of
the damage they went at once to the lower
town to render what assistance they could.
The dead and wounded taken from the debris
were conveyed to Bucks hotel, the Winons
house and DR.. Layers office and to private res
de noes. All knew that the destruction had
been fearful, but no idea OF It's extent could be
obtained until next morning, when its horrors
were appalling TO behold. From the appear
apce Of the ground 1t seemed M though ter
rife flood had swept over this section. In
many places where there had been residences
scarcely a board Is left on the premises. The
grass Is filled with dirt and sand as II a muddy
stream had poured through it, Details from
the surrounding district show that the tornado
swept over a territory sixty miles In length
and about two miles wide. leaving in its path
nothing but ruins To form an idea OF the loss
one has only to estimate the value of all i'm
provements that had been made In the section
visited and which are all gone. The damage
done ut Rochester is estimated at S400, 900, and
to the crops In that vicinity $500, 900. Twenty
six persons were killed and fifty wounded.
