Previous estimates of loss of life placed
the number at 10.
The force of the flood was such that
the tracks were torn up and rails
twisted. Heavily laden freight cars
were tossed about like corks and carried
with the torrent and thrown into the
Mississippi, where they were piled up
and wrecked. Lumber yards were
swept clear of great piles of lumber not

from foundations and went down with
property that followed the course of the
current, and heavy timbers were torn
up and broken like reeds.

OXFORD, Mich, May 27.-From re-

wind that swept this part of Oakland
county is beginning to be appreciated.
Everywhere is devastation. Villages
that were the homes of contented citi-

sisters mourn for those who met death

run to the hundred mark, for many
homes that were on the edge of the
cyclone suffered from its fury. At
Oakwood, hamlet 80 miles north of
Oxford, having population of about
200, not house is left standing. The
two churches are flattened to the earth.
The path of the storm was between half
and three e-fourths of a mile wide, and
extended in nearly straight course,
eastward for over distance of 80 miles.

other were blown in opposite directions,
some being swept northward and others
southwark. The following are known
to have been killed in this county:

and two children, Daniel Thompson and
