City Of New Richmond Practically Swept Out Of
Existence BY Cyclone. Monday Night-0ne Hum
bred People Dead. Many Injured and Others
Missing "A Great Calamity.

| Aside from the dispatch received by
Mayor Boyle from the governor, little
particulars were known here Of the ter
rible calamity which befell New Rich
mond, until the La Crosse papers arrived
Wednesday evening. We summarize:
Congressman Jenkins wired the gov
ernor. The city wiped out by storm
Every business building and contents
md over half the dwellings and contents
total loss. Many hundred dwellings,
and contents partly injured. Over one
hundred wounded. Forty dead bodies,
many missing and ruins burning. Local
people making heroic efforts ant. giving
freely of what little they have left.
They can be furnished for short time,
but with few exceptions have no food or
clothing. Not an article of goods, wares
or merchandise left by noon There will
not be a mouthful to eat; must have inn
mediate relief. Will require aid for
some time Not a coffin or article to
bury the dead Practically restitution
prevails. Almost every family has one
or more members among the dead, in
jured and missing.
TORNADO CAME FROM HUDSON
The tornado came up the river from
Hudson where the damage was compar-
atively slight. Following the general
course of the river and the Omaha road,
the storm gained in intensity as it pro-
crossed and was at its worst when it
struck the business center of New Rich
mond. Outlying residences in the path
of the storm were stripped of shingles
and boards In5 sides blown Off.
