were destroyed and people killed.
The freight depot of the Manitoba
railway was destroyed, and portions Of
1t and the cars on the track were
blown half a mile away.

of the town, taking the best Of the
business portion Of it. In fact every
important business house in the town
save one was destroyed.

given for the village to move Immediate
