History OF tho StatO-The Town 81 Pom
erOy Entirely DOstrOyed-Ths Killed and
Injured.
PoMERoY, Ia, July l0.-Sunday was
. sad day for the people of Pomeroy.
All day long people loaded down with
flowers passed along the winding road
that leads to the cemetery, depOsiting
their perfumed burdens on the forty odd
new graves, where lie all that is mortal
of what were last Sunday happy and
prosperous people.
Two hundred and eight residences were
swept completely away. Not 3 board
was left. Hardly residence remains
untouched and the business portion is so
badly wrecked it can be said with truth
that Pomeroy is no moro. The dead
carcasses Of horses, cattle and hogs are
being taken from the ruins and buried.
Many More May Die.
The injured, so the doctors report, are
doing as well as could be. expected under
the circumstances, but the outlook for
their recovery is not regarded as favor
able as it was. 1t was thought no more
than 10 or 10 would die. But it is now
estimated that fully 81 will be unable to
survive their injuries. Among those who
are very low and for whom little hopes
are entertained for their recovery are
Mrs. John Davy, and her sister-in-law,
Miss Kate Davy; Ray Keefer, boy;
Joseph Demars, Mike Quinlan. whose
wife was killed; Mrs. Henry Gike, who
lost her husband, and Emma Spies.
These people are all injured internally,
besides having broken bones. The death
list has been increased by three. A body
of woman wasefoe,d under the ruins
of her house, together with two of her
children, boy and girl.
Vandsls at Work.
Many complaints are still made Of the
work of the human vultures who COM
menced operations Immediately after the
storm and who have kept busy ever
since. It is estimated that $4,000 has
been stolen from the ruins since Friday.
Money is coming from all the towns in
the state and there has been received at
headquarters upwards of $1,000.
