SAD TALE OF WOE.
Twenty People Have Very Close
Call.

The idea is prevalent that the Schur-
meir-Good cottages and the Mullancin
homestead were the only buildings de-
stroyed by the cyclone. Bad enough
as this record is, it is far from covering
the loss which has been sustained by
that stretch of country commencing 800
yards north of Kohlman house and
stretching in southwesterly direction
as far as Lake McCarron. On the
road from St. Paul to the Kohlman
house, a quarter of a mile before you
reach the latter place, is the home
stead of Fred Geotcka. There is not
stone of the house standing to-day. In
this house there were twenty people
during the storm-Geotcka, mis- wife
and three children and fifteen people,
most children, visitors from st. Paul,
who had sought refuge when the heav-
ems assumed serious aspect. These
people had a very narrow shave.
Geotcka told his exp erience III this
this simple way: 1.-The storm came.
| was sitting OH chair. The
rest were sitting or standing around.
All at once the house was lifted. l
don't know how 1t was done. The only
thing l remembered was that l was
thrown heavily to the ground and the
children screamed out in great fright"
How these people were not injured must
be placed among the already numerous
miraculous escapes that have been re-
corded. Mrs. Geotcka was cut badly
about the head. Her injuries were at
tended to by DR.. Stamm. A little girl
had her arm hurt. These, berond a
few slight bruises, were all the
injuries sustained. Geotcka was found
about the ruins of his homestead yester-
day afternoon. He was very despond-
ent. How was he to rebuild without
money. His house was insured against
fire and lightning, but not against cy-
clones. What he was to do he really
did not know. And thus he talked
| half-dazed, not knowing what he should
| do OF who he should turn to for aid. His
furniture was bestrewed about the field.

was truly pitiable. but further investi-
CATION proved that his was only one of

THOUSANDS WE'RE THERE
To View the Work of the Cyclonic
Blast.

The shores of Lake Gervais were
black with people yesterday. The
roads leading to the lake were all day
blocked with vehicles-vehicles of every
sort and description. The buggy, the
cab, the landau and the Victoria were
the general equipages, but in addition
there were scores of BUSES eXtempo-
rized out of dray carts, and sometimes
drawn by span of mules. These were
crowded with men, women and children,
all eager to see the work of the cyclones
deadly breath. The foundations and
ruins of the Schurmeier-G Good cottages
were covered with people. The cellar
in the foundation of the Good cottage
was viewed with intense interest. 1t
is but mere hole dug in the rear of.
the residence. The cellar is nearly full
of debris. A large ice-box has also
fallen in; and how five or six people
could have found refuge therein is a
mystery to every one. But this is not
the only thing which mystifed the pee
pie. They marveled generally when
they first saw the scene of devastation,
and the wonder was how any
one in either house during the
cyclone could have lived to tell
their experience. 1t is indeed truly
marvellous that so many escaped. No
one can even surmise how it was posi-
| BILE for any one to be in such a mael-
| strom and come out-as some of them
have done -uns cathed, and the major
portion with i'll juries of a temporary
| character. The pieces of wood, glass
| and furniture scattered for hundreds of
yards around indicated that, for a time,
the area must have been darkened with
death-lurking missiles. Many of the
missiles hit the unfortunate people
with terrible effect. There is
| Miss Minnie Mics. She is cut terribly
| about the head by pieces of broken
| glass. Hubert Schurmeier's hands are
| in a terribly lacerated condition. This
is accounted for in this way: He was
near his wife during the furious blast
and put up his hands to protect her
head. By doing so he undoubtedly
saved her life. for the missiles which he
guarded off would certainly have proven
fatal. The thousands of people who
yesterday saw the wrecked cottages and
the leveled trees can well under
stand how dangerous it must have
been to stand in the midst of such &
storm. Additional evidence was given
bv the stakes which had been blown
into the field hundreds of yards from
the lake. There was one field the sur
face of which was literally studded
with stakes. Had any of these blown
against the body of any person, the
force with which they had been driver
into the ground clearly demonstrated
that the blow would have killed the
strongest individual. 10 have stood il
the center of such deadly shower
not knowing which way to turn fol
safety, and escape alive is indeed mirac
uIous. 1t was amusing to see how the
people searched for relic" of the cy
clone. They took a bit eff everything
about, from piece of a bedstead dowi
to string of piano. There was moth
ing that escaped them.

MULLANCINs ALL RIGHT.
Found at the House Of a Neigh
Dor.

DOEs
: The Mullancins are not missing.
Their whereabouts was ascertained
early yesterday. when DR.. Ancker, of
this city, was requested to visit an in
jured man at cottage of Lake Gervais.
This man was M. Mullancin, son of Mrs.
Mullancin, whose homestead. To-
Gated just above the Schur
meier-Good cottages, also totally
disappeared in face of the cyclone.
So completely did the cyclone
do it's work with this homestead that
there is not piece of timber or bit of
household furniture left. There is only
the foundation to show where the home
stead stood. Mrs. Mullancin and four
children had very narrow escape =
how, they cannot tell. They remember
being dashed to the ground. That is
all. When they again came to their
senses, the cyclones fury was spent.
The woman and three children were
practically uninjured. but one SON
had not Jared quite SO well.
looked around for their house. 1t was
gone. The cattle were lying around,
some dead, others have their legs
broken and mutilated in diverse forms.
Mrs. Mulancin and family at once made
for the residence of a neighbor, where
they received every attention. This is
how the rumOr got abroad that they
were among the missing-the supposed
dead. The sons injuries assumed an
acute form yesterday morning, and DR..
Ancker was called. The doctor consid-
cred his condition SO serious that an
immediate removal to the city and
county hospital was ordered.

several of the injured was not of seri-
GUS nature, but there were two or three
who alternately verged between life
and death. Miss Minnie Meis was one
of these. Her brain is injured, and she
suffered serious hem0rrhageS from the
ear. Her condition during the night
was simply deplorable, and yesterday
the attending physician declared she
could not possibly recover. Minnie Meis
was visitor at the Good cottage. She
attempted to reach the cellar, where
Other members of the household had
rushed for safety, but it was too late.
The cyclone struck the house, and the
poor girl was dashed to the ground. and
her head was horribly cut by pieces of
glass that were blown about. Mrs.
Pfaefe lay near to Minnie Meis.
Her collar bone was broken, in addition
to a severe scalp wound and internal
injuries. 1t was pitiful to hear her anx-
ious inquiries for her husband-Rev. nj.
Pfaefe-who was among the missing.
''Have you seen my husband? Where
is my husband? | want to see my hus-
band!"
These were the pleading requests
throughout the long hours of the night.
No one dared tell her that he missing

pleased in the early hours of the MORN
ing that nature gave way, and she fell
into refreshing sleep. Joe Brennart
was another Of the most seriously
injured. His face was cut and
bruised in a shocking manner. An
arm and shoulder were also broken.
Brennart is q single man. He is the

ing note for the boss. He was near
the Schumacher and Good cottages when
the cyclone struck the lake. All that
he afterwards remembered was the side
of wall came flying out, knocking him
down. The wind then took him up and
dashed him against several trees. He
knew no more until he recovered con-
seriousness at the KOhlman house. Sew
eral doctors came to the lake shortly
after Z o'clock, when preparations were
made to convey the injured people to
the city. All were removed except
Brennart and Minnie Miss. Both had
a bad day. They could not secure
any absolute rest for the horde of peo-
pie who congregated near the house,
and their merry laughter sounded
strangely to the ears of the sick watch
ers within. Minnie Miss was con-
veyed to her home in the pa
troll wagon late in the even
ing, and Capt. Hanft will have
Brennart removed to the hospital as
soon as possible. DR.. Amoss and the
other medical men having charge of the
injured people now in the city report
that, with the possible exception of
Minnie Meiss, the rest. unless anything
of serious nature develops itself. will
recover. The injured people who were
accommodated at the Zoos cottage were
also removed to the city early yesterday.
Their injuries were not serious.

Use for Pickpockets.
Special to the GioDe.
WAsECA, Mimi, July 14.-Without
the spur track the railroads could new
er have handled the crowds that came
to hear Mr.. Talmage at Maplewood
Park on Sunday. Two thousand people
came by excursion trains. There was
double this number from town and
country. The immense crowd was Or
derby, the only disturbance being the
arrest of two pickpockets. They we're
seen by young lady as they were rob-
bling a woman, She informed the Off
GERS and went into the train with them
and identified the two pickpockets.
They were arrested and are now in Jail
awaiting trial in the municipal court.
The Sunday excursions have created
great furore among religious people.
The ministers of Rochester wired a
protest on Saturday against Sunday
excursions. There will be a meeting of
Uses to be stormy over this question.
The presence of Dr.. Talmage closes a
chapter i'll the history of the Waseca
assembly. Two years ago DR.. Talmage
was advertised to speak at the assem-
bly,. He was greatly advertised, and
thousands were all ready to come and
hear him. Suddenly. day or two be-
fore his engagement, he cancelled
it and started for Brooklyn. This was
a great blow to the assembly, as many
believed it was only an advertising
dodge, and that DR.. Talmage had never
been secured. The assembly bided its
time, end when DR.. Talmage came into
the state last year papers were served
on him for damages to the amount of
$500, and the case was to be tried at
the fall term of the Waseca court. Fall
came and the case was postponed by
DR.. Talmage's attorney until this spring.
During the winter compromise was
effected. DR.. Talmage agreed to lecture
and preach at this assembly. and the
assembly agreed to discontinue the suit
This compromise was effected Sunday
and WaSeca assembly and DR.. Talmage
are wonderfully pleased with each
other and at peace.

The CYCLONE AT GERvAIS
Continued From First Page.


ruins of the Schurmeier-Good cottages
were first thoroughly overhauled. but.
as on the preceding evening, there was
not sign of human remains. There
were several carcasses of horses and
COWS lying around, considerable num-
Der of chickens, several of which had
scarcely feather on them, and broken
pieces of household furniture, but
not vestige of the three bodies.
During this necessarily hurried search
two dogs were discovered alive. One
was hunting dog, ownedby Emmanuel
Good. Both animals had narrowly eS-
capped being killed, and their safety was
owing to some timber having become
logged together and left space below
for the dogs 1t was evident that the
bodies were not in the ruins, and the
next most likely place was the lake. A
score of men at once dOnned bathing
costume and searched the shallow por-
tons of the lake. Boats were also
requisitioned and, with graphing
irons, large force of men
piled the deeper waters for
many hours. But nothing was diScOv-
cred. For thirty yards into the lake
kitchen utensils and other debris were
found deeply imbedded in the bottom.
As one of the searchers put it: "We
found everything except what we were
looking for.' A most systematic search
was made of the lake up to 5 O'Clock IN
the evening. At that time a relay of
men, with picks and shovelS, were put
on to the ruins, There was POSSIBLE
ity that one or more of the bodies might
be under a large pile of dirt and
broken fragments which lay near the
lake shore fronting the foundations OF
the cottages. The work was most eX-
hausting. The cyclonic disturbance
had lifted up huge earthwork about
the residence, and into it had been
driven hundreds of stones, broken
planks, chair legs, parts Of bedstead
and branches of trees. Butnothing was
found here, and to-day Capt. Hanft. of
the Margaret street police station, who
has charge of the search party, pro-
poses to have the surrounding ground,
within a radius of mile, carefully
searched. There is every probability that
the bodies have been carried over to-
wards New Canada. Possibly they may
| be discovered half mile distant from
| Lake GervaiS. The relatives of the de-
ceased are naturally suffering untold
agony, in their present feeble condition,
| at the difficulty experienced in locating
| the bodies Their recovery should be
made to-day, and, as a suggestion to
| the hundreds of sightseers, it would be
a mere act of humanity if a general
skirmish was made throughout the fields
| lying above the lake.
