A later Kansas City dispatch says from meagr,
information received by telegraph there seems L
have been a cyclone or destructive wind som'
1 200 miles south Of here, which originated II
Eastern Indian Territory and passed northeas
into Southern Missouri spending most OF its fore
at 0ronoto, near Joplin. For a greater part o
| the distance IL seems TO have passed high abov
the earth, doing injury at only few places. Tn
| storm which swept this city started about tw
miles southeast OF here, and passing northess
came down again ut Liberty. II continued In th
1 same direction II would pass in the vicinity O
/ Macon, which Is over q hundred miles further on
So the storm reported at the latter place may be
/ continuation of the one experienced here.
Dispatches from Parsons. Lawrence and EN-
poria, Kas say 10 high winds were reported 4
