p. m. 1t formed in a waterspout four
miles south of Hudson on Lake ST.
Croix. 1t was witnessed by hundreds
of people and seemed to follow the lake
and to be making directly for the city,
but about two miles south it veered to
the east and left the lake and crossed
the country. 1t was about twenty
rods wide and destroyed everything in
it's track.
The first building struck was on the
farm of Il. c. Mattison. One edge of
the storm struck his buildings. twist
ing his barn out of shape and throw
ing his windmill some rods. 1t then
struck the Gridley farm. The fam
lily, seeing 1t coming, fled for large
stone quarry about twenty rods from
the house, where they remained safely
until it passed. The house is small
brick one, and held to the foundation,
but the shingles were torn from the
roof. The cyclone yeered to the north,
leaving the buildings unharmed, but
tearing. up large oak trees three feet
in diameter out by the roots and twist
ing them into every conceivable shape.
About one-half mile northeast from
there it struck the buildings of H. L.
Mattison. Just before the storm
reached the place the family and farm
help fed to the cellar. The cellar door
had just closed when the crash came.
This place was directly in the line of
the storm, and not a building, tree,
wagon or piece of machinery is left
whole. The house was completely swept
from its foundation, and nothing re-
mained but the floor, which covered
the people in the cellar. Not one of
them was harmed. Every piece of fur
niture was carried for rods and liter
ally torn to shreds.
Outside the house there We're two
large barns, machine sheds and out
buildings, and all were destroyed.
Forty cattle and 100 sheep cannot be
found at this hour.
w. J. Gilpin, who was passing at the
time. drove in there for shelter, but
was unable to reach the cellar. He says
it was not over two seconds after the
cyclone struck him before it was all
over and he found himself under part
of a lumber wagon, with timbers,
horses and machinery everywhere
about him. He was unhurt, but badly
shaken up.
The storm passed on to the north
east, destroying everything in its wake.
