We've Had a Cyclone,

A cyclone formed mile north OF Ian
sing at the edge of Jones lake on the night
of the 14th, and swept In northeast dlrec-
ton leVeling fences and woods ana tearing
buildings into fragments. SO far as heard
from no one was killed or seriously lnJur,
ed. After forming WHITMAN seemed
to stand still for moment in the road ana
then moved off about as fast as one could
walk, gradually increasing in size and color
and velocity as il moved. 1t was blue-black
and funnel shaped 1t Rugged the ground
all the way and did not touch the cIouus
above. 1t cut a clean swath quarter OF q
mile wide through all the woods and
orchards that came in it's way. The largest
building destroyed was barn OF Mr..
Shutter, on the Downer road, which was
torn to minute fragments. Ills horses
were in the basement of the barn and one
was sucked up and left on the haymow,
while the the other was buried under the
ruins The house and buildings of a
family named Fairbanks were all blown TO
pieces. The whirlwind passed across the
bic Chandler marsh, four miles from Lans-
ing, nearly in the middle, striking Mlchi'
gan Central freight train, unroofing cars
and hurting Conductor Kane into the
ditch
The cyclone seems to have have widened
out and spent its fury on the Chandler
marsh The only person injured was Josh
Fairbanks who was struck on the mead by
q flying timber while descending into ms
cellar. Every one of his buildings was
swept away. Mrs. Sloan and two sleeping
children were alone in small house stand
ing on posts near the Briggs woods. She
heard the roar of the whirlwind, and saw
rails and trees flying through the air. She
fell in a faint. When she revived the
house was surrounded by trees and debris
piled high, but the ruilding had not been
touched.
A heavy wind and rain storm struck
Albion on the afternoon of the l4th, flood
ing the streets in ten minutes from the
time it began. Five OF the seven stores OF
w. II. Brockway's brick block were un.
rooted. The elegantly furnished A. o. u.
w hall, over two of the stores, is com
plete wreck, and the furniture is in bad
condition. The roof was torp up bodily
and hurled into the river, several rods
away 1t was not exposed, but on the
contrary, well protected. Circus bill
boards and small wooden buildings neal
by were undisturbed. Damage estimated
at g., 600 to $1,000.
