IT DEALT DEATH.
Many Human Lives Are Taken by
the Recent Cyclone.
Thickly Populated Portions Of lows and
Minnesota. Severely Stricken-Upwards
Of Seventy Arc Killed-Aiany Towns
Entirely Wiped Gus.
SCORES ARE sIAM.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 2s.-Tho cy-
clone Of Friday night that swept
through Minnesota and Iowa was one
Of the worst that ever visited this sec
tion. At least seventy persons were
killed and many others were fatally
injured. In addition several towns
were wrecked, some Of them being
totally demolished.
Path OF the Storm.
The storm was first observed q few
miles south of Spencer in northwest
ern Iowa about o'clock in the even
ing. Sweeping resistlessly across
the state north Of Emmetsburg
and Algona it wiped out the
town Of Cylinder, touched Mason
City, running buildings and crops
northwest of Usage. Here the cyclone
bore off to the northeast, crossing the
Minnesota line, and soon after 10
o'clock wrecked the little town of
Leroy, where bad fire added to the
destruction. Spring Valley was. in the
path Of the cyclone and suffered se-
verely. Turning again to the east the
little towns of Homer and Lowther
were badly damaged and at one
time reported completely wiped of the
face of the earth After crossing the
Mississippi and doing considerable
damage to farm buildings near Marsh
land, Wis, the storm seemed to have
spent its force. A smaller storm did
some damage at Dodge Center, which
was not on the path of the main
cyclone. The path of the storm was
not wide. but it had all the character
istics of the deadly tornado and the
dimensions of cyclone.
Upwards of Seventy Are Killed.
Just how many lives have been lost
is still uncertain. but the reports re-
ceived indicate that certainly not less
than seventy are dead while some re-
ports place the number from seventy
to 100. The towns damaged or de-
stroyed are Cylinder, Burt, Forest
City and Manly Junction, in Iowa;
Leroy, Spring Valley, Dodge Center,
Homer and Lowther, Mimi, and
Marshland, Wis.
Eliminating apparent Implications
of names Of dead the following from
points in Iowa is fairly accurate:
Algona, 10; north of Garner, IS; north
of Britt, 16; near Manly, 10.
In Minnesota the storm seemed to
start at Leroy, after travelling in the
air for several miles. Three persons
were killed at this place. At Chattield,
Minn., dance was in progress at the
opera house when the storm descend,
ed upon the town. The building was
blown down and many persons were
hurt. Sixty houses in all were demol-
ished and 100 persons were injured. At
Spring Valley three were killed.
Aid Is Needed.
LEROY, Mimi, Sept. 25.-The cyclone
sufferers are in a very destitute con-
dition. The loss will exceed 500, 900.
Thirty families are entirely destitute
and many business men have lost their
all. Money is needed. Three tho u and
sight-seers were here Sunday. The
local relief committee is doing all in
their powe, which is limited.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 94-In asen-
sational altercation with James Liv-
ingston, an Owens man, in the Phoenix
hotel, lesha Rreckinridge attempted
to stab livingston. Livingston, in a
moment of desperation, reached for
the glittering blade, which Breckin-
ridge had aimed at his heart. The
knife went between the second and
third fingers of Livingston's right
hand, cutting the third finger to the
bone Desha seemed to desire no more
blood and gave Livingston two hard
kicks.
The hotel clerk and several by
ISLANDERS rushed in and seized Breckin-
ridge, and at the same instant Matt
Lane, strong Breckenridge man, ran
up and said he would take hand in
helping Desha. Two witnesses say
that Lane also fourished big knife,
but Lane denies this. Livingston was
hurried into the wash room, where his
wounds were bathed, and he was then
taken to the office of physician,
where his hand was dressed.

The suggestion by the Woman's Re

that Memorial day be celebrated more
