BEFoRE H YcloNE.
The 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 il, while away above tine rain b~carina
stratum drove from the northwest al day.
About 8 o'clock a black cloud rose in the west,
very threatening, but it passed harm!essly by
with" furious wind and some
drops of rain. AT S a low
black bank lay i'll the southwest 1t rose rap
idly. but presented only the appearance OF al
ordinary thunder shower. As it neared the
city it began to assume a horrible appearance.
The whole sky was tinsed a CHASTITY green,
and the masses of clouds swep. around
here and there in gigantic circles. Wherever
it was possible people took TO their coIl4rs, and
in no case where that was done was life lost.
In the upper part of the city the darkness was
at 10 time great; bnt at the lower Fart OF town
it grew dark as night,
FILLING EVERYONE WITH TERROR.

precursor Of a cyclone, and the storm burst
upon the doomed city. Houses were as etraws

the broken country west Of the city and struck

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 a track about q mile wide,
This dwelling Of Mathew Engel, a large two
story frame building, was raised in the air and
dashed back a shapeless mass of ruins. His
barn, a new. large substantial one, shared the
same fate. The house and outbuildings on the
farm Of John r. Cook were
CRUSHED PERFECTLY FLAT.
The family of the tenant, Mr.. Ecker, was in the
cellar and escaped. On Mr.. Ains!ie's place,
jus. north OF here, all was laid fiat but the
house. which was partly unroofel. On. DIR.
