Lives Lot.
CHICAGO, June 14.-Yesterday after
Moons storm was much more destructive
than first reports indicated. At least
eight lives were lost In Chicago and vi
cinity and Is persons were more or less
injured, while it will probably take hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars to repair
the damage done by the tornado.
Following Is a list OF the killed and in
jured: Killed, Gustave Doering, Emms
Kline, John Michon, Charles j. Roberts,
Harvey Stewart and three unknown men !;
injured, K. Erickson, caught under fall
ing pile of lum Der and injured internally;
Edward Housman, ear cut OF by falling
telegraph wire; Max Jacobs, leg broken
by falling roof; Anna Kline, collar bone
broken and shoulder blade fractured;
Maggie Kline, right hip and right foot
crushed; John Lial, blown TO the ground
from roof; skull fractured; will die;
William Dossea, skull fractured by fall
ing bricks; may die; James McGinn, left
leg fractured by falling lumber at lum-
Der yard;J. j. p, O'Dell, President OF the
Union National Bank, cut in back OF
head, forehead and thigh, and severely;
Olson, injured internally, may die; Mrs.
Annie Paddy, struck by lightning, Is ina
critical condition; Mrs. NJ. Slattery, left
ankle sprained; Mrs. Shoal, deep scalp
wound by falling transom; May Wesley,
hurled against telegraph pole; badly
bruised.
When the storm struck State street it's
violence appeared to have been at its
height. Then IL seems to have lost
strength as IL howled towards the lake.
It's greatest force centered between 23rd
and 25th streets and the manner in which
IL twirled and destroyed objects along its
path would indicate that 1t had a rotary
motion and was n veritable cyclone.
While it lasted its path on State street
was the scene OF intense terror and ex-
element, and the people between 23rd
and 30th streets anticipated death every
minute. On the west side OF State street,
every telegraph pole from the one in
front OF No. 2320 TO one I'm front of No.
29ls was snapped asunder.
A seyen-story brick building at 246
West Madison street was so badly shaken
up that IL Is thought IL will crumble. A
wild rumor was circulated that some OF
the Worlds Fair buildings had been
damaged, but this proved untrue. The
telegraph and telephone poles In the
path OF the storm were torn down and
the wires completely tangled. Linsmen
were sent out Immediately, however, and
the usual prompt service IL promised by
ten O'Clock this morning. IL was the
worst storm that Chicago has experienced
