When the boat reached its destination a
barge was in tow which carried 100 of this

Late this afternoon the party re-em-

unmanageable. At once the barge was
cut loose, and after an hour drifted To the

The other two hundred or more were

A Rough Practical Joke Upon -. Louis

ST. Louis, July 13.-A most amusing
practical joke was carried out success
fully at the natatorium, corner of Nine
teenth and Pine streets, yesterday, but
the perpetrators are to-day threatened
with prosecution by their victims.
Claude Marins and Thomas Crouch, two
horse dealers who are widely known as
practical jokers, prevailed upon hostler
To dress up i'm n policeman's clothes and
go the natatorium. Thither also repaired
Crouch and Marins. The two jokers were
soon engaged in seemingly desperate
fight, and the policeman sprang in TO
separate them.
Like flash he was tossed over the rail-
ing into the water among the throng of
bathers, Who had been opcn-mouthed
spectators OF the struggle. Rising To the
surface the policeman drew his revolver
and began firing with the widest haste
and recklessncss. The now panic-stricken
bathers hurried from the water and
rushed from the building in various stages
of deshabille.
One of them was arrested as "a lunatic
two blocks away. Others ran through the
streets creating CONSERVATION among PEE
dcstrians to seek safety in saloons and
doorways, In the melee the iokers es-
capped. IL took the bath attendants long

flames across 10Th street to the east side
and Atkinson's lumber yard also caught
fire. The extensive wall paper msnufac-

Later advices from Lake Gervaise indi-
cate the loss Of life at that point may
reach 80. The most alarming news comes
from the keeper of the boat house. AT
Lake Kohleman this man says he let out
this afternoon at least 10 boats. None of
them had less than two occupants and
some three or four. Since the fearful
storm passed over the lake no trace Of the
boats or the unfortunate passengers
has been found.
Still il cannot be positively stated to-
night that these people are lost. II will

tomorrow. Should il be true that they
have all gone down il would swell the re-
ported loss Of life at the various points to
at least 80. Il is most difficult To obtain
any definite news tonight, as telephone
and telegraph communication is inter
rupted. Many people feel certain that
the loss of life will not exceed 10.

ST.. PAUL, July IA, I :l5 "A. ma report
has just been received that "A cyclone or
hurricane struck the little city of Lake
City, located OH Lake Pepin, about ten
miles below here, and that large num-
her of people were killed by the sinking
of a steamer. The steamer Red Wing
was coming up the lake at about 9 o'clock

There were on board some $50 people

loss of life runs over 100 at the lowest.
From Lake Gervaise, the cyclone passed

ever, all down and no dispatches can get

The scenes at Lake Gervaise, along the

Whole Towns Swept Suddenly
Away and Scores of Pleasure
Boats Engulfed - Scenes of
Destruction and Death.

ST. PAUL, July ia cyclone struck the
northern side of this city this afternoon,
and the latest estimate of the loss of life
is 36. Ii is reported that from IL to 10
were killed at Coleman's lake, and 20 to
30 at Little Canada, two or more at Lake
Joanna and several at Bass lake. II is
said also that the cyclone reached White
Bear lake. The first reports are from
the people who have come from the de-
vastated districts and they also report
great damage to property. IfWhite Bear
lake was in the path of the storm the loss
there will be very heavy, both of life and
property. Great crowds were out there
to-day.
A few moments before o'clock this
afternoon clouds which had been threat
ening storm, began to collect over the
region OF Lake McCarron two or three
miles north of this city. Soon they took
on rotary motion and the terrible APP
pearance of a cyclone. Hundreds of citi-
zens watched the clouds as they swept to-
gether and followed their course TO the
northwest, i'm which direction many
friends had gone TO spend the day at some
of the many little lakes scattered over the
county.
The cyclone developed from terrific
storm of wind, rain and hail which set in
at $3.50 o'clock and ragged with unabated
fury until nearly 8 o'clock. At the latter
hour the clouds i'm the southwest sud-
denly assumed funnel-like shade, the
edge being fringed with lace work of
ficecy white.
When the eddying monster gained its
full momentum the wind suddenly yeered
from the east to the south. Almost in n
twinkling the great swirling mass spread
out like a fan and, sweeping across lake
Gervaise, leveled everything in its path.
Anxiety for the absent drew many down
during the evening to learn the first pos
sible particulars of what was thought to
be undoubtedly disastrous storm. A
young man drove i'm from Lake
Coleman soon afterwards, with
the information that at least two persons
had been killed and over one hundred in
jured at that point, He had been out
there with young lady, and hav-
ing gone after buggy 10 drive home, on
his return TO where she had been stand
ing he found his companion seriously in
iured by the storm which had suddenly

Other reports followed thick and fast,
each being little worse than what pre-
ceded II. To the north ::and east of the
city there are great number of little
lakes which are sought by the multitude
every Sunday, and on the shores of these
lakes many campers pass the hot months
of the summer. Lake Coleman is one of
these and the damage there was very
heavy.
