BEFORE THE CYCLONE.
The weather throughout the day had been
unsettled but not unusually threatening
Clouds would form aud disappear, forming
again heavier than before The Wild was
mostly from the southeast, blowing scud conds
with II, while away above the rain bearing
stratum drove from the northwest sll day
Abont 3 O'clock black clond rose in the west,
very threatening, but II passed harmle.siy by
with turions wind and some
drops Of rain At 8 low
black bank lay Ia HE southwest II rose rap
idly, but presented only tho appearance of all
ordinary thunder shower. As il neared the
city it began 20 assume horrible appearance.
The whole shy was t,nged ghastly green,
and the masses of clouds swept arourd
here aud there ia gigantic circles. Wherever
II wa possible people took 70 their cellars, and
III no case where that was done was life lost
la the upper part Of the city the darkness was
at no time great; bnt at the lower part of town
1t grew dark a. night,
FILLING EVERYONE WITH TERROR
Then came the awful roar so well known as the
precursor of cyclone, anl the storm burst
upon the doomed city. Houses wero AS strsws
IN the grasp OF this terrible
power aud no tree. OF whatever si2e in
thu track Of the storm withstood
it, 'ury, The wh'rling ssaying funnel loft
the broken country w,s, of the city and struck
tho farm ~ Mr- istrtute lying two miles
south, where the TIMBER buildings and grain,
both standing, shocked and stacked, were
wholly destroyed. Thence II moved down
the valley Of the Cascade toward the
northeast with u track about y mile vide
Tbs dwelling of Mathew EDgel, u large two
story frame bn lding, was raised Ia the air aud
dashed back n shapeless mass OF ruins His
barn, a new, large substantial one, shared the
same fate The house and ontbuidings on the
arm Of John X Cook were
CRUSHED PERFECTLY FLAT.
The family OF the tenant, Mr. Ecker was in the
cellar aud escaped On Mr. Ain.lic. place,
inst north OF here. All was laid n : but the
house, which was partly unrnpfed. On DIR.
Eaton's farm, the family took rcfnsi IN The
stone basement OF the barn and barely ped
with their lives The condition OF thing in
the northern uart OF the city defies description.
