M Minneapolis, Mimi, June 1.-THE
town of New Richmond was almost
wiped ont of existence Monday night
by one of the most severe cyclones that
ever visited that locality. The number
of killed and injured will probably
reach $50.
The news of the disaster was brought
here by !. A. Carroll. travelling man
from Portage, Wis, who was stopping
at the Nicollet house in New Rich
mond when the cyclone struck. lie
saw the funnel-shaped cloud as it came
up the principal street and took refuge
"a the basement of the hotel, which
was completely wrecked. together with
every other business house in the city.
Mr.. Carroll further says that fire fol-
lowed the cyclone and what was left
is being consumed by fire. Many peo-
pie are doubtless killed and the damage
will run into hundreds of thousands Of
dollars
Relief is being sent to the scene of
the disaster as rapidly as possible, but
owing to the fact that the railroad
track is washed out in many places
succor is arriving slowly. Many have
driven overland and everything possi-
BILE is being done for the sufferers.

ports that the whole town has been
wiped off the face of the earth, and
while no definite news can be obtained
at this time of the casualties it is pre-
sumed that many were injured and
possibly SOM killed. 1t is known that
Dave Hefferon is severely injured and
/! his wife killed.
| At La Crosse, Wis, nearly five inches
of rain fell. Fifty families in northern
La Crosse were compelled to desert
their homes in boats, and the water is
still rising. over 100 head of live stock
were drowned. Nearly every bridge
in the La Crosse river valley is gone.
The towns of Elroy, Wis, and

New York, June l0-James j. jeff

Robert Fitzsimmous, and an American
again wears the championship belt.
The fighting lasted just eleven fast
and furious rounds. and after the end
of the first round there was but little
doubt in the minds of those who wit
messed the mill that Jeffries would
prove the winner.
The first round was very tame, not a
single effective blow being exchanged,
but in the second Jetfries downed Fitz-
simmons with straight left on the
jaw. The third and fourth rounds
were fast and in the Califoruian's S
favor. Fitzsimmons made his best
showing during the fifth, when he
landed on Jeffries left eye and sent a
torrent of blood coursing down his
cheek, after which Fitz forced his OPP
ponent against the ropes, but the Cali
fornian slipped away from him.

The ninth round was all Jeffries'.
He sent the Australians head back
with series of lefts, put his right on
