Extent of the Damage.
| EMpoRIA, KAN, May So-The cyclone
which visited Chase County Tuesday,
twenty three miles west of this city, was
terribly destructive of property and one
| life was lost with almost a certainty Of
another, and about dozen were more or
I less injured. Latest reports from the
scene state that not a house nor fence of
any kind has been left standing for near
| ly four miles in the track of the cyclone
and only bare trunks or stumps of trees.
| The point of most damage was near the
Santa Fe railroad track, about two
miles west of a small town named
| Clements, on the farm of Milton
Brown, whose house was RACED to
the foundation and he himself almost
instantly killed. His wife was fatally in
jured and his oldest son. Edward, had his
| leg broken. His daughter. Sarah, was
badly hurt internally and one of her legs
was broken, and his little taby's head
| bruised almost out of shape. A portion
of the house roof fell on and crushed Mr..
Browns head almost fiat and he lived but
a few minutes. The residence of Spencer
Pickard was totally destroyed to the
foundation. g. D!Haston lost all his bee

dence badly damaged. The residence of B.

ground total wreck. Job johnson lost his
windmill, orchard, residence, outhouses,
barns, etc, and himself and daughter
were injured, the latter so badly as to be
unable to be about. William Dawson wal
also hurt in the wreck Of Johnson's house.
At least fifteen or twenty other farmeri

Milt Hunt who took refuge in their cellar
| and escaped without a scratch to any OF
them, although the house was blown to
| fragments from over the heads. Another
family named Hoff escaped by flying te
the cellar of Mr.. Brown, who himself was
killed. Many peculiarities of the storm
were noted. Among them was the snap.
ping of of huge elm tree by
the wind. while not ten feet away
was a very small soft maple with
seemingly not a leaf missing. A,
one place the fence posts for long dis.
lance were stripped Of their WIRE it hav.
ing seemingly been blown away, and in
other places the posts themselves were
gone and the wire lay around loose. The
storm took with slight deviations an al.
most due east course and barely passed
the town of Clements by possibly half q
mile. Had it struck the town the loss Of
life and property would have been fearful
to contemplate. Mr.. Brown, who was
killed, was formerly from Rush County,
Ohio, and has relatives here. He also hal
relatives named Stevenson, who reside al
Burlington, Kan. He was q WELL to.de
