! Fred E. Beck and Miss Roberts
were on the train pursued by the
cyclone, between White Bear lake
and st. Paul, Sunday afternoon.
And Fred says that it was a most
exciting race, the train making
telegraph poles while one counted
four. The funnel Of destructio On
moved toward the train, which
finally headed it off when about a
quarter of a mile away.
The cyclone. eight miles north of
st. Paul, Sunday evening about five
o'clock, which killed ten or a dozen
people and wounded many others,
passed south and assuming the
shape of II hurricane, struck Lake
Pepin about $50 in the evening,
reaping an awful harvest of death,
two miles north Of Lake City. The
excursion steamer, Sea Wing was
capsized, precipitating, it is thought,
more than 200 people into the angry
lake, about 50 Of whom escaped
with their lives. More than 100 of
the dead have been taken out, and
the sorrowful search goes on. The
party was mostly from Red Wing.
Capt. Wetheren is severely criti-
cised for ventdfing out in the
threatening storm and for staying
out when once upon the way home
from the camp grounds, and has
been taken over to Wisconsin and
put in Jail by his friends for safety.
The captains own wife and child
were lost. 1t is the most awful
calamity that ever bcfell the north
western states. The wind blew
down and demolished many houses
in Lake City and destroyed half the
famous shade trees of that city, but
no lives were lost tllerefrom. A
few persons from that place were
on the ill-fated steamer, but escaped.
Many of Wahpeton's citizens are
from Lake City and vicinity.
