from Southern Dakota as far west as

to Cherokee it is 120 miles, and from Chero-

amount to 5000, 900; in Woodbury. county
100000; Plymouth county, 500, 900;
MOnona county, $4,000, and Ira county,
$4,000. AT this time there are reports al
damage in Beuna Vista, Sac, Pocahontas
Calhoun and Webster counties, but not
enough to form an estimate as to the loss.
Beyond Fort Dodge it was in the
form OF wind and rain, having spent
its fury. The number OF casualties
so far as learned is thirteen killed,
seven fatally and fifty severely wounded.
The following damages are in addition to
those already reported: AT SiouxCity, the
