Glover 4 Co.'s planning mill was also un-

and nearly every tree broken down:
The storm crossed from north Of Minneapo-
lis 70 Marine, and thence struck dozen places
along the Northern division of the Omaha road
north of Hudson. The most serious traces arc
found in the towns of Star Prairie, Stanton and
Somerset
The storm did most of its destructive work
stantly coming in of divers and sundry disas-
ters. A house i'll the town of Star Prairie was
blown down, and Mrs Camp seriously injured.
lured it is feared fatally. In Jeweltown many
buildings were unroofed and ends taken
Of them Andrew Arnquist had his
house unroofed and his barn blown over.
The end of Fay's large livery stable was
blown out, and Ed. Corners had both house
and barn demolished r. X. Fay's hired
from its foundation, and broke both his legs
and otherwise injured him so that it is feared he
cannot live. 1t is stated that the wind did even
greater destruction farther north. Owing to
the cyclone the fair will hold over Friday. The
whose skull was crushed in. McFetridge had
horse fatally injured by flying boards in Jew
elltown.
Star Prairie appears to have Jared the worst
as nearly every building in the village was
town completely destroyed. Among the more
serious losses are:
House and barn of Mr.. A. R. N. Quist, valued
at g., SEQ: The large barn of r. X Fay, in
which boy had both legs broken. Ira Kid
Filpahs store front blown in.
The course of the tornado and cyclone, seems
to have been: From the center of Henncpin
county twenty -four miles north of east to White
Gear, Minn, thence northeast fifteen miller
to Marine, Mimi, thence fourteen miles slightly
| south of east to New Richmond moth of east
twenty-four miles (from Marine, and on the
theory of triple separation,) to Clear Lake,
and thirty mics northeast (from Marine) to
Clayton, thence east until further trace is lost
in the forest
At Marine Mills, north Of Saltwater, Mimi,
fully two thirds of the houses in the village
! were more or less injured, some being utterly
demolished, others moved from their founda-
tons, while others lost chimney or few
shingles from the roof. In tho south part Of
| the town tho handsome new frame house of n
p Root h1nuyn down and hrr1a6 into the
river The family were buried under the fall
ing walls, but were taken out unhurt aside
from a few bruises. The two houses
next adopting that Of Mr.: Root are
Westergren, and are just across the street from
| Walker, Judd Il VeaZies lumber yard When
the wind struck the lumber the air was full of
| boards, joists and scantling. Some Of these
pieces were carried into the street, others driv-
en- lengthwise through the two houses last men,
into the river, and others still carried across to
| the Wisconsin side and spread around on the
| hills.
Samuel Judd thinks $4,000 will cover the
| loss Of the firm, and says that the entire loss
in the village will not exceed $75,0 600 In the
country the results are far more disastrous, as
many of the farmers, in addition to having
| their homes wiped out of existence, have lost
the whole of their crops.
In the town of Oneka, near Marine, the de-
| ebI uCIOH WAS WOisc CllAn Ill Any Quiet OCallty.
Among those injured, but one, Mr. George
Rutherford, will not survive. He lost one car
and was nearly crushed in the chest by falling
tmbers. The names Of others more or less
seriously injured are-Mrs. Lord, Mrs Charles
Brickett, Annie Peters, Mr.: Emerson, Mr. T.
J. Withrow. The names of some of the prin-
cipal losers are F: D. Briggs, John 1utz,
Michael Pelican, E. c. Judkins.
For many miles east of the North Wisconsin
road, the country is heavily timbered and COM
parativey uninhabited, and as no record of
disaster comes from towns on the Chippewa
Falls 4 Northern, it is fair to suppose the
force of the cyclone was dissipated before
it reached that line. The advices received go
to show that wind first attained destructive
momentum IN Hennepin county, and
though Minneapolis was not affected
seriously, farm houses and barns to the cast
and slightly to the north of that city were
unroofed or otherwise injured, while grain
stacks were whirled abroad, and the sheaves
widely scattered. Leaping over the Mississippi
the next heard of the storm is at White Bear,
where, although powerful, it was not cyclonic
in character. White Bear is northeast of
Minneapolis and Marine as exactly northeast
from White Bear.
