ner and reports thirteen dead in Elling-
ton township. north of Garner, twelve
near Manly junction and sixteen north
of Britt. Collins for the dead are piled
up at every station. and scenes of wild
est grief are enacted. The storm as
witnessed from this place was one of in
describable grandeur. Funnel.Shaped
clouds of inky blackness swept along
TO the northeast, Illuminated by almost
continuous flashes of lightning. The
roar of thunder was deep and c0ntin-
uous. The opera house was packed
with people to witness play, and almost
panic was occasioned by the war of
the elements. Robert Stevenson, living
four miles north of Whittemore, was the
first victim. He was hit in several
places. His grove looked as though it
was moved down with scythe. Calvin

thirty rods, one of the children being

and was found seated on piece of
roof. The wife of Swan Peterson had
her skull cut open in two plac ces, and
the exposed parts of her head were lit
orally packed with sand, plaster, hair
and grass. Particulars are coming in
ali the time which indicate that half of
the terr0rs of the cyclone are not told.
The scene of desolation was visited all
day by great crowds, every available
conveyance being chartered. The de-
struction of property will not be less
than 100000. Most of the farmers are
weli-to-do with snug bank accounts, and
others are welthy, but numbers of VIC
tins are renters. who lost everything.
