New Richmond Wis, June l4.-ln-
describably sad are the scenes OF des-
olation wrought by Monday night
tornado, that practically swept out OF
existence the prosperous little city OF
New Richmond. Out OF the 800 houses
and store buildings comprising the
town, fully 800 were wrecked by the
storm or destroyed by fire, Almost
every family has one or more men,
bers among the dead, injured or MISS
ing and little groups are seen every
where searching, by the light OF
lantern or torch, for the loved ones
who may be buried in the piles OF de-
bris on every hand. With frantic en-
ergv the search has been conducted on
everv hand and SO far 125 bodies have
been found, although the NUMBER ol
dead will certainly exceed that num-
her. They for the most part have
been taken to the Catholic and Con
gregational churches, which although
in the very edge of the storms path,
miraculously escaped its fury. In these
Temporary morgues the sights are such
grief stricken living recognize III
bodies, horribly mangled and OFTEN
dismembered, the remains OF missing
dear ones, The wounded found tenn
porary asylums in the unin1ured dwell
ings on either side of the path OF ae-
vastation. where the doctors anu
nurses from nearby cities and towns
