yards and uninjure red. He also had couple
of COWS lifted up and one was hurt.
Sox Swenson had a COW and barn carried
a long distance, and his corn crib has not
yet been found. The sills Of his barn SIS
and thirty feet long, was lifted some forty or
fifty feet. The storm was very severe here,
but as at other points, only lasted few min
utes. From this point to Marine we find but
little damage done. The cyclone appeared
to move in an erratic manner. Sometimes
you drive half mile and not see a single
sign Of the storm, then you come to- dire
obstruction. But We at last come to the out
skirts of the
TOWN OF MARINE,
and here we have sight that will never be
forgotten. This pretty town Of 500 inhabit-
ants has very few houses that have not been
damaged in some manner. The destruction
to property is estimated at from $4,000 to
$50, 900, and the stoppage of the regular avo-
cations of the people will swell the amount
considerably. The sight beggars description.
In all directions the large trees, for which
the town is noted, can be seen twisted and
! bent, the sidewalks in places lifted bodily and
thrown over the fences, telephone poles bro
| ken like pipe stems, and lumber strewn in
all directions, some being carried completely
across the river st. Croix, and up the cliff on
! the Wisconsin side.
WALKER, JUDD & vEAZIE.
! The loss to this firm in lumber will be not
! less than between s5, 900 and 10000, as the
lumber caught by the cyclone was nearly all
clear stuff. The force must have been ter
rife that drove the boards end on into the
piles Of lumber, into houses, into trees, and
even into the ground, so that they were
ground up and twisted into all shapes. Both
/ Smokestacks on the mill were blown down,
and work was stopped. The lumber near the
river did not suffer as much as that near the
mill dam. Much of the lumber has gone
down the river and will not be recovered.
CHAs. wEsTERGREEN's HOUSE.
This handsome residence has been badly
injured, especially from the lumber being
carried against it. A Il foot board went
clear through the siding, sheeting and stud
ding into his parlor, the shingles were strip
ped from the roof and windows broken. His
large barn went over the cliff, while the trees
in his yard were cut and broken. His loss is
heavy. He also had shed blown down at
his new house near by.
y. p. ROOT
Had his house demolished, and his family
had a narrow escape. Mrs. Root and child
were buried beneath part of the building,
from which they were eXtricated by Mr..
Schmidt, late state representative. He
thought they were killed. The oldest daugh-
ter was up stairs at the time, and the build
was carried off with her inside, yet she did
mot suffer the least harm. Roots barn and
pig pen went down the cliff some fifty feet,
and the pigs were taken up yesterday all
right. A tree foot thick was broken off and
carried clear over the house and left in the
back yard.
A. G. LINDQUIST
Had his house much damaged by lumber be-
ing drove through it. The roof was partly
unshingled.
OLE wEsTERGREEN
Had his house badly twisted, and had mar
row escape on account of falling trees. 1t
is partly off its foundation.
GUS. CARLSON
Had his barn and driving shed moved of
the foundations, and they are badly wrecked.
L. c. cAvER's
House shows freak of the storm by being
unshingled on the side opposite to the wind,
with no other damage, whilst a house owned
by George F. Sabin, and occupied by S.
Sanstrom, couple of rods away, is past re-
pair.
ROSE & MAGNUsoN
Had their warehouse, containing a large
]
and it was swept away.
The slaughter house over small creek
was blown down, and boy who was inside
had narrow escape.
The mill race to the old Judd grist mills
has suffered loss of $50 feet, the high por-
ton from the hill to the mill being blown
down. The mill is now occupied by Rose
& Lohman. Their loss is large.
The Oddfollows hall suffered to the extent
of having some windows broken and chin
neys blown down.
Mr.. vEAZIE.
Has suffered goodly amount of damage tc
his handsome new residence, the tall
chimneys being blown down falling through
the roof. The roof is also gone over the
kitchen addition, while the stables and barn
are minus half the roof.
ORANGE WALKER.
At this large residence, only the chimnevs
, are parity gone, but the stables are demor
allied, and the choice shade trees and shrub
berry are uprooted, and cannot well bt
t replaced.
THE ST. CRoIX HOTEL,
Occupied by Walshon, has the roof of the ]
portion gone as well as the gable. A larg,
5 Lombardy poplar in the front came dowr
I with rush but did no damage.

l A door was blown in starting partition. Tn,
E fine elms, planted in 1850, are laid low.
4 The house of Peter Cutteau was PLACED
5 across the street, but the women and child
= ren in it at the time were not hurt.
