THE IOWA TORNADOES.
The Visitation Carried Death and
Destruction.
Pomeroy Practically Wiped Out, And the
Death List There and Elsewhere
Simply Appalling-Some
of the Victims.

FONDA, Ia. July7.-The tornado that
passed west and south of this place be-
tween 6 and7 o'clockThursday evening
demolished buildings and groves, in
Juring many persons and causing the
loss of many lives. The victims are:
DEAD.
John Detweiler.
Mrs. Amos II. Carton.
Child of Mrs. a. Fl. Carton.
Sam Hearson and entire family.
D. E. Miller and two of his family.
Ed Sargent and entire family.
THE INJURED.
Mrs. John Detweiler.
Two children of Mrs A. II. Carton.
c. E. Shirley.
Mrs. c. E. Shirley.
Several members of the family of A..
w. Emo.
The buildings of the following per-
sons were demolished:
George Sanborn, barn.
Mrs. William Marshall, tenant-house
and barn where John Detweiler re-
sided.
Amos H. Carton, house and barn.
Harvey Eaton, barn.
Samuel Hearson, house and barn.
Schoolhouse.
The course of the storm was little
southeast, and was preceded by an east
wind and slowly-moving clouds going
westward. It was attended by heavy
fall of rain and some hail, and an I'M
usual electrical disturbance.
Sam Hershaw, wife and two children
are missing. Mrs. Hershaw was in con-
fnement when the storm broke. All
were blown away, and are thought to
be dead.
Farm buildings were RACED to the
ground, and cattle destroyed, trees up
rooted, fences leveled and general
havoc created over the small area
covered. Beyond and south of the town
of,Aurelia the storm wreaked its fury in
a comparatively thickly-settled neigh
borhood, and here the greatest loss of
life was inflicted, but it was impossible
to reach the scene, and the names of
the dead are not yet known. 1t is
known. positively, however, that if
teen or more people have been killed
there.
Not for years has this section been
visited by such a terrible and sweeping
calamity. Hundreds of people have
temporarily abandoned their avoca-
tons to follow up the line of destruc-
ton wrought by the tornado. The
boundaries of the storm are as clearly
defined as though it had been laid by a
line. In some places where trees stood
close against each other one is twisted
from it's roots and the other left unin-
jured. But in cutting through Usage
and arbor vitae hedges this is most no.
ticea ble, the cut being almost as sharp
as though it had been the work Of a
gardeners shears.
