town Is badly damaged. A fire about
the same time destroyed hotel and
three stores. Spring Valley suffers
heavy losses, and three are killed and
others fatally injured. A farmer from
Beaver township reports young girl
killed there, and says vast amount
OF damage has been done to the north
east of lie Roy. Many farms are laid
In ruins and there has been consider
able loss of life In places which can
not be reached by railroad. Reports
of fatalities are arriving almost hour
ly, but no names or actual losses can
be ascertained. A messenger from
Spring Valley reports five killed and
fifteen badly injured at that place,
but he can give no names. He says
the cyclone destroyed vast amount
of property and laid waste many
farm buildings and machinery there
in. Considerable live stock was de-
stroyed at LIE Roy. The streets are
choked with ruins, and the desolation,
Is well nigh supreme.
Definite advices from Spring Valley,
just received, shows but four dead
there, as follows: HI. III. King, of
King & Hole, machinists; and Mr..
and Mrs. Dodge, old people, and Mrs.
Rose and one little child. There are
twenty injured, but not fatally. The
damage in the aggregate will reach
$4,000. Nineteen residences, seven
teen barns and one business house
were destroyed. Previous reports
were exaggerated. The business por-
ton was uninjured.
Close figuring over last advices put
the total loss at LIE Roy at 100000,
and 1t will probably go over that.
The little village of Burr Oak, about
four miles northeast of Usage, Iowa.
was totally demolished by the cy-
clone. The killed are John Perry,
Mrs. John Perry, Mrs. Pat Larogan
and all old lady, name unknown and
the two Perry children. The storm did
not leave an outbuilding at Burr Oak.
1t is strange all the inhabitants were
not killed. Thirteen farm houses In
tn vicinity were totally demolished,
and even fences and stumps Of trees
were blown away and uprooted. At
Usage there was severe hail storm
and considerable wind. A play was
being presented at the theater, and
wild stampede of the audience re-
suited In severe injury to many. In
the vicinity of Burr Oak a wagon
was picked up and hurled into the
top of a tree, where it still remains.
Farm buildings were strewn over the
prairie for distance of several miles,
and the damage will mount up into
the thousands. 1t is said great distress
prevails all along the path of the cy.
clone.
