SAUK RAPIDS,
FRIGHTFUL DEVASTATION.

ST CLOUD, Special Telegram, April IA
The one once prosperous village OF Sauk
Rapids, due north of St Cloud, is now the
scene of utter ruin and demolition. 1t is
reasonable to say that no town OF it's size
was ever devasted to the same terrible ex-
tent The pictute presented last evening
when the detachment from the Minneapo-
lis physicians, accompanied by several
police officers and representative
of the PIONEER PREEs, reached
the scene, was one which certainly
beyond description. The earlier dispatches
from the unfortunate city were by no means
exaggerationa Terrible as seems the tale
which the telegraph told, it was not half re-
lated. The loss of life, the number Of in
iured and the loss OF property was much
greater than the meagre dispatches late in
the afternoon would lead the sympathlz-
ing people Of St Paul. Minneapolis and OF
Minnesota to believe. The death dealing
elements struck the town at the northern
commencement of its business section, and
went through with such force that practi
cally nothing of the business portion of the
city remains to tell the story of its former
pride. The cyclone crossed the Mississippi
river at point 4bout one mile
the city, and it's terrible ravages
covers territory extending the whole
of the city, and leaving width of about
fifty rods The dead number between
twenty-five and thirty, while the injured
will probably reach at least sixty. About
one hundred structures, some of them quite
| noble buildings for town of the pretensions
of Sauk Rapids, were completely demolished
A majority of them have not one board
upon another, but were scattered to the
| four winds The detachment of physicians
from Minneapolis was boon to survivors Of
the ruined city, The corps was organized
under Dr. Kilvington, and consisted of Drs.
Higbee, Freeman. g. D. Allen, Lee, Bunker,
schuley and Miller. The doctors were met
hy a gladened committee near where the
depot formerly stood. They were escorted
over the ruins of Broadway to the Beatty
hotel, which was one of the very few large
buildings which escaped the wrecking ele-
ment. The hotel was used as receptacle
for the wounded, and its inmates were un-
firing in their efforts to ALLEVIATE the suffer-
ings Of those unfortunates who were broughu
to the house for treatment
A tour of the stricken village revealed the
fact that no less than twenty-fv persons
had been instantly killed, and whose bodies
were recovered from the mass of ruins.
They were as follows:

power of the order to bear upon the man

the men OF 1916"
Mr.. Powderly in an interview at Scran-
