Work of q CYcInne.

SPRINGFIELD, No, May PA terrific
wind-storm swept over the mining town of
Aurora, tf1irty-f five miles south of here,
Friday morning, which blew down nearly
all the tents in the camp, leaving hundreds
of people without shelter to battle with the
storm. There was no loss CT life, and the
only reason assigned for this il that the
people were in tents instead of houses. A
great deal Of stock in the surrounding
country rerished by falling buildings,
which demonstrates that had the miners
been IN houses there must have been a
great loss of life.
