MONTREAL, June ia cyclone struck
the little village of ST. Rose, fashionable
resort near here, yesterday and carried
everything before it. A little school
house in the outskirts of the village was
torn to pieces in an instant. In the
sehoolhouse twenty children were being
taught by Miss La Caisse. The children
scattered like leaves in all directions, and
the teacher was so badly injured that her
recovery is doubtful
Out OF twenty-five children two were
dead when found, one died shortly after
ward and twelve were seriously wounded.
The remainder were more or less in
jured. The killed were Wilfred Ouimet,
Julia Jolly and Stanislaus Druiden. The
bodies Of the children were terribly dis
figured.

the most damage being done in the open
country. The barns Of John Thomas and
Alphius Kimpton were blown away.
Mrs. Kimpton had her collar bone
broken, and her eight months old baby
had its skull crushed.
The scene at the schoolhouse after the
wreck was full of agony. Living chill
dren were found huddled together in
mortal terror, wounded, groaning and
shrieking. The lamentations of the
parents mingled with the manned and
helpless children. In addition to the
