mention"
A large telegraph pole was broken
off at the ground nearly in front Of the
Sisters residence.
The large window front of j. B..
Williams marble works was broken in.
| Out in the yard some heavy finished
marble and granite work was tossed
around and broken. Monuments were
overturned and heavy dies picked up
and set elsewhere. A piece of joist 5
feet long shot INTO the shop where the
cutters were at work, and that started
them to look for holes in the ground,
thinking that all the other flying ioists
might be looking for them. A piece
of roof slate struck the window sill
and buried itself nearly two inches
deep in the wood.
The roofs in this vicinity show
numerous punctures.
The roof of the Mcmillan building
was dislodged and part of the back
wall broken in. John Chambers and
Archie McMillan's families were thus
uncovered, the latter particularly.
Chambers store below was damaged
by water, and the glass front broken.
The glass front of McAllister's saloon.
in same building. was also broken.
The upper Jandorf building, occu-
pied by John Chambers confectionery
and restaurant, and William Lewis
grocery, was but slightly injured.
Mrs. Lewis lost $75 in money she was
counting at the time. 1t blew away.
The walls of the lower building--Jo-
seph Bears clothing emporium, were
slightly bulged outward.
Across the street the building occupied
by Peter Lammert's grocery and Will
liam Engle's meat market was damaged
considerably in the window and
chimney line
The roof and upper story of the
frame structure occupied by Milton
Lindauer as shoe store were carried
away. Charles Ehms, who lived in
the upper story, went home to find
himself practically homeless.
Mrs. J. P. Moody's stable was de-
stroyed.
Down to C. F. Nickel's on same side
John Gels saloon incurred greatest
loss-the smash in of his window front
The stores of Edward Donohue,
printing office of J. M. Zimmerly,
stores of W. B. Spill, Mrs. Mary Croft
and Marx Wineland suffered more or
less from broken windows.
A windowsash blew in at Mrs. Mary
Croft's and a hurricane went through
the house, taking pictures off the
walls, moving furniture and carrying
millinery out the front window. Two
bolts of ribbon were unrolled and re-
rolled up on the Main street electric
wires.
c.. F. Nickel is one of the most I'M
fortunate losers by the cyclone. The
wind caught his metal roof, rolled it up
in scrolls and carried it off. while the
brick walls of the third story of his
building crumbled and fell. The rain
damaged his goods considerably and
put him to immense inconvenience and
discomfort in domestic way.
A number of lodges met in the third
story of Nickers building, all having
more or less of paraphernaiia. The
''Daughters of Rebecca,' the feminine
annex to Odd Fellowship, had just
equipped themselves with handsome
new regalia. All went glimmering.
The National hotel, James Asphalt,
proprietor, was slightly damaged, and
the stable looks like the angel of des-
olation had given it a special whack.
The front window of H. B. Colborns
merchant tailoring establishment was
broken.
Landlord Lynch, of the St. Cloud
hotel, suffered loss to stable, outhouses
and fences.
The metal roof OF H. B. Shaffers
business building was lifted off and
portion scared so feet high and de.
mollshed the gable of Ravenscraft's
Opera House. Luckily the floor of the
upper story is very heavy, otherwise
the rain would have damaged his
stock.
Beside the damage to gable por-
ton of the roof of the Opera House,
many windows and ceiling of the
upper story were badly injured. The
Women's Relief Corps, running fairin
the uppermost hall, sustained some loss
in the breakage of articles. The roof
of the gable. loosened by. the section
from Mr.. Shaffer's store, went oyer the
Opera House and shot down through
the roof Of Gehauf & Mayors shed,
opening up several square yards of
Skylight in that structure.
Mrs. J. NJ. Porter sustained con-
siderable loss IN damage to locust
shade trees in her yard. The cyclone
uprooted some and twisted others off
at various heights. A stump % feet
high was prettily curtained by long
section of Mr. Shatfer's roof, and frag-
ments of vater-snout feStoOnS hnnr
