Duluth, July S.-Fourteen people are
now known to have been killed In the
cyclones and cloudbursts in this section
Of Minnesota Tuesday and yesterday.
The storm was general, and 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the amount Of dam
age. The cyclone, which was central
near Glenwood, was the worst that ever
struck this state. The telegraph lines
are down for rs miles each side Of there
and particulars are hard to get. Rail
road traffic is paralyzed because Of the
heavy fall Of rain. The rain came SO
suddenly and SO fiercely in some places
that trains ran into washouts before
they had any intimation Of danger.
Crops have been damaged and O large
amount Of live stock killed. Reports Of
washouts, foods and cyclones are being
received almost hourly. Every railroad
In the state has had some damage to the
tracks and rolling stock. The damage
will probably exceed 100000
