Southwestern Minnesota and eastern
South Dakota suffered severely from a
fierce wind storm, or series of wind
stolms, th1 t developed cyclonic tender,-
cies at number of points. Details of
the damage done to life and property,
which have been coming in, indicate that
the storms travelled from southwest to
northeast in parallel lines, and that there
were three of unuf ual severity. The west
ernmOst arose in South Dakota, and
traN Nersed the east end of the state, strik-
ing Alpena, Mellette, st. Lawrence and
ABERDEEN in its route. The central storm
was terrific. 1t was first heard of at
Pipestone, in the southwest corner of the
state. It's record there was was one killed,
enc Injured and serious damage to prop
city in it's course The dispatches say
that its path was from 400 to 900 feet
vide. The storm passed over Tracy und
Echo without serious effcts, and is next
heard of at Renville, where it was only
40 rods wide and of corresponding in
teEsify of action. There was sTother
victim here besides many injured and a
record of devastation for buildings and
property. Litchfeld was the next in line,
but apparently the cyclone which passed
near there was one which developed sew
eral hours later. Two were killed and
many injured. The nnrthefnmost point
in the central part of the storm path ap-
pareDtly was Colegeville, In Stcarns
county, where the damage was principally
to the buildings of ST. Johns university.
The eastern end of the storm started il
with its work of devastation and death
at Window, about half=Iast seven, or an
hour and q half later than the central
storm. No great damage was done at
this point, but when the storm which
developed decided yolonio tendencies
reached Sleepy Eye shortly before 8
o'clock, its intensity vas incalculable
AT least one vas killed and a number
injured. The same storm next struck
Glencoe, where its work was death deal
ing. The number Of killed and injured
there has not been definitely ascertained
yet. but the Indications are that the
wind played as great havoc there as any
vi ere.
st. Paul and Minneapolis caught the
tail end of the twister, hut fortunately
the main portion of the storm did not
strike either city Considerable damage

Sioux City, I1wa, June 29.-Repcrts re-
