A TERRIBLE TORNADO.
Two Minnesota Towns Almost
Swept Out of Existence.
Scores Of Men, Women and Chill
dren Instantly Killed.

AT 4:50 o'clock, the other afternoon, tor
nado struck the prosperous city of St. Cloud,
Mimi, passed northeasterly through the
centre of the pla"e, leveling everything in
it's path, then &C: oss narrow strip of prairie
and through the town of Sauk Rapids. The
path of the tornado at st. Cloud was right
between the resident and principal business
sections of the city. The freight depot of the
Manitoba Railroa company was scattered be-
fore the wind like chaff, and every car on the
track was sucked in the mighty vortex and
demolished A drenching rain and terrific
lightning accompanied the rushing winds,
adding to the horror Of the situation. Many
of the inhabitants seemed to have a promoni
tion of this disaster and sought the safety of
their cellars just in time to escape with their
lives.
The tornado began about 3 o'clock in the
basin of the Masonic cemetery, forming
whirlwind of l(0 feet in diameter. 1t took
almost every tree in the circle from the
ground or twisted it off at the trunk. Great
stones were torn up and carried along with
the wind. Moving slowly along in north
easterly direction it wrecked the Catholic
chapel and several houses. In its course
across the prairie adjoining the town

large brick house and scattered fifty or more
smaller frame houses like so many feathers.
In most cases nothing was left to mark the
site of the dwellings but the cellars. The
prairies were strewn with timber, furniture
and clothing. The freight depot of the
Manitoba railroad was a total wreck. Nu-
merous cars loaded with freight were
blown half mile and the rails wrenched
from the track.
The storm passed the limits of the town
Just west of Lieutenant Governor Gilman's
residence, killing several horses. It GRO 'sed
the Mississippi at the Sauk Rapids wagon
bridge. which it demolished. 1t here widened
to 600 feet and levclled Stantons gristnlill
From there it swept through the centre
of the town, taking >, the best
ing the court house, hotel. nublic
school and every important business building
in town except Woods store. The village is
virtually wiped out, four-tifths of the build
ings being leveled. The fatalities in st.
Cloud thought great, are not equal in num-
ber to those in Sank Rapids. In every house
most all the inmates were more or less hurt.
The storm is the worst known in the stat,
since 1888. when Rochester and Elgin were
devastated by tornado.
