1t is an impossible task tonight Every
thing is excitement and confusion, and one
can hardly tell who was his next door neigh
Dor. The Grand Central hotel at midnight
is filed with people discussing the awful
event, and rumors from the surrounding
country are coming in about disasters to
life and property, but little of Il reliable
character, however, can be CLEANED. Tom
Van Etten of Sank Rapids, who weighs over
500 pounds, was picked up bodily and car
ried some 400 feet He was badly bruised,
but not seriously injured. He was covered
from head to foot with yellow mud. The
depot sign, 'Sauk Rapids" was found
at Rice's, thirteen miles away, and
siso a basket full of law books
from the same place. The air was full OF
flying boards and timbers at Rices, carried
by the cyclone from Sank Rapids. Andrews,
employed as u clerk on the boarding car OF
the Manitoba road, had his skull crushed in
by a heavy timber, and he was past all aid
He was in the boarding car, which was
standing on the track near the freight house,
with several other at the time, and the car
was completely demolished and all of the &C.

there saw the cyclone pass by at Il short dis
lance to the east Late last night S o.
Greer, travelling for Donaldson Il Ogden of
ST. Paul, came from Rice's to ST Cloud and
informed a PIONEER PRESS reporter that the
cyclone had demolished a house about four
miles east of that station, where u wedding
party was in progress, and nearly all the
guests We're killed or badly wounded. The
news was brought into Rice's Station
by a badly scared boy, who was on horse
back. He was badly hurt himself, and said
that the cyclone struck the house without
the slightest warning. There were about
thirty persons in the house, and he was the
only one that was not seriously hurt. The
boy said that nearly all were dead. Several
citizens and a couple Of physicians started
out to the place, where a horrible sight met
their gaze. The dead were strewn about for
a distance of fully O feet 1t was found
that sixteen were dead, and since then it Is
said that six more have died. The details al
