That Twister at San Miguel Was Cen
uine.
SAN MIGUEL, Jan. 17.-Further par
ticulars OF yesterdays storm show that
it was q genuine cyclone. A heavy
thunderstorm came up in the afternoon,
accompanied by lightning. The rain
came down necessarily. Suddenly the
eky southwest Of town became very dark
and funnel-shaped cloud, unmistsk-
ably cyclone, came whizzing along.
About one mile west Of town WAS the
little house OF M. A. Hughes, who was
in town st the time, and when be went
home an hour later he was unable to
find his house, which had been splin-
tered. Passing along to the Sittenfeld
place the cyclone lifted the outhouses
into the orchard, 100 feet north. 1t
then passed on and about mile north
OF town turned eastward, and, passing
through an oak grove, tore up the trees
by the roots. Crossing over the river
it took off the tops OF cot
tonwood trees along the bank
and fences and telegraph poles went
with the other debris. The Fairfield
stage was on the road, but one of the
passengers who knew a cyclone when
he saw it advised lying on the ground.
By so doing the passengers escaped in
jury, an when the cyclone struck this
gpotit was rebounding anu they felt only
the suction, which waa strong enough,
however, to overturn the stage and
right it again, tsngling the horses in
wire fence. Robert Kirk was driving in
g buggy aud sew the storm coming. He
WAS unable to take the necessary precau-
tions, and was struck by q flying tree
and the buggy was overturned. Two of
Kinks ribs were broken and one lung
was punctured. After the cyclone had
passed the rain continued. with thunder
and lightning.
The rainfall during the past "a hours
was 2.23 inches. The Salinas river is
rising rapidly and the Estrella stage
was unable to make its trip today. as the
unbridged streams are very high. The
storm ceased this afternoon and it is
