Pathetic Incident.
Special from Staff Correspondent.

SAUK RAPIDS, April IA peculiarly
sad incident occurred this afternoon. Out
in the rubbish some rods from the depot,
wandering about the stricken neighborhOod,
was middle-aged man. He looked hag-
gard and took no notice of the curious peo-
pie who constantly passed him in their
search among the ruins. 1t was Charles
Shellgreen. His home had been leveled to
to the ground, and he was wandering near
the spot where his home had once stood.
He was poor man and had nothing but
his home. One of the visitors was the
Rev. Mr.. Pierce of Fergus Falls, who had
once preached at Sauk Rapids, and not
knowing how Mr.. Shellgreen had been af-
tlicted, he approached him and asked
if he had lost anything beside his house.
The man stopped, walked up and shook
hands with the man of God and said my
baby" He could go no further, but sat
upon the ruins of his home, and the tears
rolled from his eyes as his voice thickened.
His entire family had been killed, a wife
and four children. The woman and three
of the children lay over in the dead house
awaiting their eoffins, but the fourth,
little girl baby of some weeks, had not been
found. The minister could not say cheer
up, and he left the man sitting alone and
desolate, with the tears streaming from his
daZed ewes

being broken and his body badly bruised,
while in their collins lie his three children.
Mrs. Junglen was out of the city at the
time of the disaster and when she returned
this morning they told her that her children
were lying injured at the engine house, and
when she went to the house and found the
lifeless bodies the scence was sheart-rending-
ing. Mayor Ames sent two physicians, in
charge of DR.. j. I. Moore, this morning to
Rice's station to offer their services to the
afflicted in that vicinity.
FOURTEEN MILES AWAY.
As showing the force of the wind,
the sign board some feet in length
that was formerly on the Manitoba depot
was found to-day in a field fourteen miles
from where it started. A metallic stamp
used in the flour mill here was found in the
same field.

The fortunate ones who lived beyond the

THE SITUATION.


All day long people have been arriving in
the city from different parts of the country,
and tonight the hotels are filed to over
flowing and ''cots in the hall' even are hard
to get. Farmers have come in from sur
rounding districts by scores, and apparently
have no other business than to look over
the ground SO lately visited by the cloud of
devastation and stand around corpses and
comment on their appearance. Saloons are
doing land-Office business and restaurants
are driven to their utmost to accommodate
the hOrdes of hungry visitors. The Grand
Central hotel is headquarters and
the rotunda is crowded. The chief
topic of conversation is the ter
rible calamity. While St. Cloud
is accorded its share of sympathy, Sauk
Rapids is given the preponderance of pity,
as the condition of its citizens is
MUCH WORSE
than that of the former place. The report
comes from the lower portion of Douglass
county, just south of Alexandria. that
three farm houses were torn to shreds bv
the wind. but there is no intimation that
there was loss of life. Farmers from the
northwest part of the county tell almost
incredible stories of finding remnants of
buildings on their property, twenty miles
distant from this city, and portions of or
gans and pianos have been picked
up fifteen miles from the city
and brought in as curiosities. Prairie. a
