CYCLONE IN KANSAS.
TWENTY BUILDINGS WRECKED
AT WICHITA.

Lightning and Killed.

WICHITA (Kas.), Oct. IA cyclone
struck here to-day. About twenty houses
and barns were wrecked, but strangely
enough there was not q single person
killed. Trees were strewn about in all
directions. The path of the cyclone was
about fifty feet wide. It progressed with
fearful roar, and was regular twister.
Three children were hurt, and two men
were reported killed at police head
quarters, but their names could not be as
certained.
Owing to the terrible rain which ac-
companied the storm, and has lasted
since, it is impossible to ascertain the full
extent of the injuries.
Lightning struck little boy named
Fitzgibbon and killed him. Lightning
also struck the Fifth street depot and car
stables of the electric street railroad, and
completely consumed it, with all its con-
tents, before the tire department could do
anything for it. The Fairmount electric
stables were completely destroyed.
Roughly estimated, the loss in the city
viii be $4,000. 1t may exceed that sum
good deal.
Reports from Keckit township say the
twister played havoc there, but owing to
the continuance of the rain storm it was
impossible to obtain any details. The
cyclone passed within ten feet of Gov
ernOr Lewlling,s home
