ST. CLOUD, Mimi. April 15.-The work Of
devastation in the district visited by the cy-
clone is complete, as the Uttered and shiyered
remains of what were frame buildings will
testify. The scene to-day was one to appall
strong hearts. For width of about 600 feet
running from southwest to northeast, the tor
nado had Ieveled nearly everything before
it. An occasional building partially wrecked
was left to tell the tale of destruction, as if
hy contrast with the ruin to be seen on every
side Scarcely vestage of any structure re-
NAMED so as to be recognized, the ground
being literally covered with all kinds
of tfmbers Promiscuously tangled
together. 1t is estimated that 400 structures
were blown down, all of frame, and not costly.
The Manitoba depot was unroofed ana badly
wrecked, thus almost completely cutting off
Geographic communication. The only
depot injured was the brewery, and this was
badly wrecked and twisted. The small resi-
dences were mostly occupied by foreigners
whose names il has been impossible to Sc
cure with any accuracy. The Catholic hospi-
tai is filed with wounded, but only five or
six of them are considered to be III q danger

pital last night, besides number that were
taken to private residences. To-day there
are about forty in the hospital, two having
died and the others being removed. The
dead bodies at the engine house have been
neatly dressed and cofined. The

the rebuilding, but it is not believed that
there will be much delay in replacing the
structures, and tenement houses for labor

all night under the disadvantage of having
no splints or drugs, as the drug stores were

SAUK RAPIDS, Mimi, April 15.-The dismal
work OF searching for the dead among the
debris of the storm-swept section still con-
tinues while the recovered remains, black
ened and mangled, are being shrouded for
the grave. The wounded are receiving every
possible attention. Physicians from neigh
boring cities are still on duty, tire
less in their efforts. AS the re-
turns come in from the country
in the track of the tornado new fatalities are
reported, and many of the MANNED are being
brought in for treatment No pen can de-
pict the horrors of the scene. The final list
of casualties will surely swell the total of the
fatalities to 100.
