SALTWATER. Mimi, July 15.-Three
minutes after o'clock yesterday after
noon yellowish cloud came up from
the west and swept through saltwater
along lake st. Croix, thence across tho
lake and spent itself in the Wisconsin
woods to the southeast, Two persons
were killed here. These were William
Anez and Samuel Simonson. They,with
others. were at work in the rafting
sheds of the Atwood mill in lake st.
Croix. The storm struck the building
with full force, lifted the shed bodily
and carried it into the lake. Several
buildings were blown away and about
n dozen people were injured by flying
debris None of the injuries were SO
serious as to warrant the belief that
thew will be fatal Six or eight boys
were fishing at slip of the lake side
and all were blown into the water, one
of them far out, but by prompt work
all'were saved.
Reports from Wisconsin are meager
but hcyond the destruction OF fences

piosIon of Fireworks.
CHICAGO, July 17.-By the premature
explosion of fireworks bomb at III
o'clock last night at an Italian picnic
four people were killed and number
Of others injured.
The bomb was fred from an extern
porized mortar, and was intended to be
exploded high in the air, the explosion
to be accompanied by shower of bril-

about to be fred, there was deafen-
ing roar and the liquid fire
and burning explosives, together
with the pieces of the mortar
containing the bomb were hurled IN
every direction. Hundreds OF persons
were standing about the spot and the
flash and the report were followed by
the cries of those stricken to the earth.
No lights were at first to be had and
the dead and wounded lay together be-
meath the feet of those who were able
to escape. Many fell bleeding and
| bruised and before they could be cared
for all the lights on the grounds were
extinguished and increased darkness
added to the panic.
The fire and fragments of the mortar
seemed to plow their way through thu
dense crowd to the outmost circle o
onlookers. In moment the picni
grounds were the scene of unlimited
confusion. The merry making ha'
been in progress all evening and at tn
approach of darkness those presen
concentrated near the spot from whic
the display was to cmanate Some pre-
caution had been taken to keep orde
among the onlookers, and an effort wa
started to keep all save those in oharg
removed from the stand where the Ill
! exploded fireworks were stacked VI
This was partly successful, and thos
