rible Cyclones.


LAKE CITY, July l3.-What will prob
ably prove to be the most disastrous cy-
clone that has ever struck this commu-
nifty passed over this city at 9 o'clock
tonight, inflicting the loss Of life Of
perhaps 100 or 200 people and damaging
property to an extent that at this writ
ing cannot be estimated.
Considerable damage was done to
property in the town, but the worst was
the capsizing Of the excursion steamer
on Lake Pepin. The steamer Sea Wing
which came down the lake from Dia-
mond Bluff, small place about seven
teen miles north of here, on an excur-
sion to the encampment of the First
regiment, N. G. s. M, which is being
held mile below this city. The steam
or started back on the homeward trip
about 8 O'Clock, and, although there
were signs Of an approaching storm, it
was not considered in any way serious
ard no danger was anticipted.
The boat was crowded to it's fullest
capacity, about $50 men, women and
children from Red Wing and Diamond
Bluff being on board and and about fifty
people on a barge which was attached
to the side of the steamer. When about
opposite Lake City the boat began to
feel the effects of the storm. But the
officers kept on their way. The storm
increased as the boat continued up the
lake, and in fifteen minutes was at it's
height.
Nearing Central Point, about two
miles above Lake City, the steamer
was at the mercy of the waves, which
we're now washing over the boat and all
was confusion. The boat momentarily
ran onto bar and the barge was cut
loose, and the steamer again set adrift
in the lake. A number of those on the
barge jumped and swan ashore. As the
barge also floated again into the deep
water, those on the barge saw the
steamer as it was carried helplessly out
into the middle of the lake, and as they
were being tossed about on the raging
waters, they were Mortified moment
later to observe the steamer capsize and
its cargo of $50 people precipitated into
the lake.
1t will be some days before the entire
list of dead is known, as full list of
the $50 passengers pretty certain to
have been drowned cannot be obtained.
Altogether fifty-nine bodies have been
obtained.

but on account of the hills, covered
with trees; lying in the direction from

by the occupants of the two houses, or
if seen was not thought to be dangerous

made in the Schumacher house to seek

LATER
THE CYCLONE,

LAKE CITY, Mimi, July 14.-The
wreck OF the Sea Wing has been search.
ed and a number If bodies recovered.
The total number of bodies found now
number sixty-five. It is not known just
how many passengers were on the craft
but the number 200 as first reported is
not far from correct. Sixty-fve have
been rescued and there are between
sixty and seventy yet missing and the
assurance is almost certain that
they are at the bottom of the lake.
This runs the death roll up
to about 100, making it the
worst disasters in the annals of the
state. The damage in the town is light,
the fury OF the storm having been ex-
pended on the lake. Most of the vic
Tins came from Red Wing, to which
place the bodies have been taken. The
work of rescuing has been carried on
by the First Regiment of the Minneso-
ia militia. AS soon as word reached the
camp volunteers were called, and everv
one volunteered to assist in rescuinp
the living or searching for the dead.
Adjt. Gen. Mullen Immediately took
charge of the regiment, and the search
was systematically begun and carried
on.

shattered woods around. The steam
barge on Gervais' lake, assisted by a
fleet OF boats manned by willing hands,
was actively engaged in dragging the
lake and disintegrating the masses of
wreckage which lined the shores, but At
nlghttall no trace of the missing bodies
had been found either in the water or
on land. .c
The first statement Of death was cor
