Details Of the Storm That Passed
Through the State Still
hIeaggre.
Known That the Death List in
Jasper County Will Reach
Seventy five.
Great Damage to Railroad and
Other Prop tty- Cloudburst
at McGregor.

MARsHALLTOWN, Ia, May &c. The
villages Of Valeria, Mingo and Santiago,
Jasper county, on the Chicago Great
Western railroad between this city and
Des Moines were nearly wiped from the
face Of the earth by cyclone, and all
adjacent counties were laid waste with
loss Of life and great destruction to rail
way and other property. Reports as to
the number of victims say Il were
killed at Valeria, 5 at Mingo, in the
coutry few miles west Of Bondurant
and 3 at Santiago.
A terrible spectacle was presented in
one demolished house in Valera. Seven
members of a family named Failous,
father, mother and five children were
found lying among the wreckage in one
room, all dead except the mother, who
is not expected to live. Two children
named Atkins were also killed outright
and a large number of people in the
village and the adjacent country were
severely injured. F..
Later reports say a man named
Charles G. Adm and his four children,
Mike, Susie, Lillian and Charles, Jr.,
were killed. His wife and two sons,
Willie and Dean, are also badly injured,
the former probably fatally.
The storm occurred between and 10
o'clock at night and was accompanied
by a deafening roar, a deluge of rain
and hail. Its track was several miles
in length and from a quarter to a half
mile in width. A great amout of live
stock was killed and the crops in the
path of the storm utterly
destroyed. It is not likely the railroad
will be repaired so that traffic can be
resumed for several days. The district
traversed by the storm is very fertile.
It is settled with well-to-do farmers and
villagers. Timber and dead stock are
strewn over the path of the storm in all
directions The death list will prob
ably aggregate %, as number of per-
sons are still missing, in addition to
those reported killed and injured The
Iowa river here is still rising.

RAPID City, SD, May 26. Several
suits have been filed here by some of
the stockholders of the Holy Terror
Mining company against officers and
directors to prevent the latter from sell
ing the shares of stock of the plaintiffs
who had become delinquent. This
mine is considered one Of the richest in
the Black Hills, if not in the United
States. Plaintiffs allege that the work
ings Of the mine disclose large and ex-
tensive bodies Of free milling gold ore
and that there is now in the ore bins
$50 tons of gold ore that will yield by
free milling process from $50 to $500 per
ton. %
Want Officers Removed
They also allege conspiracy on the
part of the officers and directors to de-
preciate the value Of the stock by. levy
ing an assessment of 5 cents share and
by shutting down their mill and aban-
doning work at the mine at this time
when the workings show extensive ore
beds which are easily accessible and suf-
fcient to pay all expenses and large and
continuous dividends. The plaintiffs
ask that the officers and directors be re-
moved and a receiver be appointed dur
ing this action who will Immediately
work the mine for the benefit Of all tho
stockholders.

WHEAT IN THE DAKOTAS.

Minneapolis Commission Men Prepare a
.rt.<@ ,- Statement.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 26. - Osborn,
Crosby e Co., grain and stock brokers
of Minneapolis, have been gathering in
formation OH the crop outlook in the
Dakotas for their correspondents. The
aim was to get accurate information
covering the amount of blowing and
seeding done, the acreage of wheat, the
condition Of the crop, and the amount
Of last years wheat remaining in the
granaries. .s- 49, +.
The report from several counties in
North Dakota indicate encouraging crop
conditions. Nearly all the reports give
the condition of the crop as good. The
exceptions are from some of the lower
counties where the heavy rains have SO
soaked the low fields and some of the
grain is under water. The average
acreage of the counties reported will
be about rs per cent of last years. Some
counties will have only about half of
last years while others will have about
the same area sown in wheat. Between
rs and IS per cent of the blowing has
been completed, and about 80 or 80 per
cent of the seeding. A few counties re-
port all the wheat in the ground Prob
ably fran 10 to 30 per cent of the old
crop remains in the farmers hands.
South Dakota Reports.
The reports from South Dakota show
that the season is well advanced Very
little blowing remains to be done. In
many places it is finished, and no where
have the farmers more than 10 per cent
to do. The seeding is almost completed.
Wheat is in the ground, and in many
places it is coming up nicely. The re-
ports on the condition Of the crop agree
that the outlook is good. The main diff
fcnlty reported is a prevalence Of weeds
in some places. The acreage will be
slightly increased over last year. Only
a few counties report a smaller acreage.
while many have increased from 10 q to
30 per cent. Very little Of the old crop
remains in the granaries It does not
exceed per cent s.5
