.-.s Storm Stories
The storm in Iowa started near STAN
wood and swept through the northeast
ern part of Cedar county. the southeast
ern part of Jones county, the northern
part Of jackson county. Nineteen per-
sons lost their lives and moro than twice
Is many were injured The property loss
will probably reach half million dollars.
In many places not a building of any kind
was left standing. Cattle, horses and
hogs were killed by the hundreds. In nu-
merous instances farmers lost everything
they possessed. From Iowa the storm
crossed the Mississippi river into Illinois
near Savannah. Considerable damage was
done on the Illinois side before the storm
spent its force.
The second tornado in Illinois started
near Stillman Valley ana swept northward,
wrccking farmhouses and killing as 1t
went.
At Lanark the storm ended its career
by wrecking the county almshouse and
killing three inmates. Three others were
fatally injured. There were over fifty per-
sons In the building when it went down,
and aE Of them were more or less in
1ured.
In Wisconsin the storm was more violent
than in any other place, but fortunately 1t
originated in the lumber district of the
northern counties, swept along the line
of the 500 road and spent its force In the
pineries. Nine people are known to have
been killed. Vague reports brought in by
train crews from the scene Of the storm
are to the effect that nineteen bodies of
lumbermen from q camp near Heafford
Junction are now lying in the railway sta
'tion at that place. 1t II said, too, that
ten lumbermen were killed near Elmhurst,
but this report also lacks confirmation.
The property loss In Wisconsin, while
quite heavy. will doubtless fall much be-
low that done in the farming districts along
the Mississippi in Iowa and Illinois.
