by telegraph TO the Oispatch.l
LEMARs, a., June l7.-As reports
from the outlying districts come in it
becomes evident that the tornado which
swept over Plymouth and Cherokee
counties was attended with great loss
of life. The killed so far as reported
are: Mrs. William Gano and child, at
Marcus. twenty miles east on
the Illinois Central road Nick
Mackcl, aged sixty-fve years; Y.
Goetschle, aged twenty-six, fond
in the lake. lie was struck over the
head with plank and instantly killed.
Sixteen are reported killed in Cherokee
county. Those fatally injured are ::
Daniel Hayes, Nick Goedert, Mr.. and
Mrs. Rudolph Lane, Mr.. Kennedy, Of
Remson. ten miles east of here Mr..
MOecke, aged fifty years; Mary Moccke,
Lizzie Moecke, and Adam Goetschle.
Those seriously wounded are John
Swain, Mrs. Cramer, Mrs. ID. Hayes,
and two other ladies in the same house I;
John GOetschle, his wife, and two chill
dren; John Beaucaire and Mrs. Silas
Forbes.
The streams have risen so rapidly
that physicians cannot visit their pa
tients. There will probably be other
deaths and injuries reported as the
water subsidies. The course Of the tor
nado was as follows: 1t reached Sioux
City at 1915 and Lemars at l0:45. 1t
lasted about thirty minutes, and was
accompanied by rain and hail.
Until 1915 A. NJ. it rained, when
another tornado from the northwest
swept over Lemars, more destructive
than the first, lasting an hour aud a
half. This came from Southern Dakota
as far west as Yankton. The track, as
far as can be learned at this time, was
in the shape of the letter X, with the
base of the letter pointing east, the
junction being in Cherokee county,
where the largest amount of damage
was done. From Onawa, by way Of
Sioux City to Cherokee, it is nearly
eighty miles; from Yankton to Chero.
kee it is one hundred and twenty miles.
and from Cherokee to Fort Dodge it is
seyenty-fye miles. This will give ar
idea Of the storms course. The dura.
tion of the storm at Lemars was about
an hour and half.
The damage in Cherokee county will
amount to 900, 900; in Woodbury.
county, 800, 900; in Plymouth coun
ty, 100000; Monona county, $50,
600; and Ida county, $4,000. Al
this time there are reports of damag,
in Buena Vista, Sac, Pocahontas, Cal
houn, and Webster counties, but no
definite enough TO form an estimate o
the loss. At Bayard and Fort Dodg'
the storm was in the form Of wind anC
rain.
