Fourth street. But they did not escape
because they were detached. The widen
ing of the storms front provided for
their demolition. In the four blocks
counting both sides of the street, there
were fifty-seyen business places of one
kind and another the majority of the
buildings facing on Main street Exag-
gerated language is so often used in de-
scribing the effects of great destructive
force that one feels that merely to say
that every one of these stores was crush
ed, overwhelmed, wrecked, scattered into
its component parts portions carried
long distances away and the rest left in
confused heaps, is a mild statement,
which does not convey an adequate inn
preston. But that is the simple truth.
At first it was actually difficult to tell
where were the streets and where were
the buildings. The thriving, active,
prosperous New Richmond business dis
trict had been obliterated.

of the task. The bare tree trunks sug-

casual observer would know that the
wind had not brought with it a mass

To give an idea of what the tornado
did 1t Is necessary to say something of
the plan of New Richmond. The town is
divided by the river, which flows through
IT from east tof west; north and south it
is again divided by the tracks of the
Omaha railroad The Wisconsin Central
crosses the town from east to west on
the north side of the river. Generally.
1t may be saidsthat the cyclone did its
entire work on the south side of the riv-
er A saloon and some small buildings
near the river, and the New Richmond
flour mills were caught on the north side,
but they are just beside the river. En-
tering the towif from the south the
storm covered about two blocks in width,
and for about two blocks moved straight
north on both sides of the Omaha tracks.
but as the blocks on the west side were
built up with rows of cottages, while
those on the east were not occupied,
the destruction is most noticeable there.
Some thirty ore forty houses all frame,
were dashed torthe earth in a twinklng
of the eye. They all have a flattened
look, as if the force that demolished them
had come straight down from the heav-
ems. The roofs are broken to pieces
and spread out fiat over the foundations.
Generally floors adhere to the founda-
lions, but not more than one dwelling

overwhelming wind ram. The Episcopal,
Lutheran and Methodist churches were
RACED, and large number of dwelling
houses completely destroyed and many
more or less wrecked. These were on the
edge of the storm. Sweeping out to the
river and raising havoc with Gollmer
Bros circus, the storm, with a final and
fearful wrench at everything within its
grasp, attacked the solid earth, was re-
pulsed and bounded into the air, continu-
Ing Its course for ten or fifteen miles to
the northeast. With its farewell exhibit
ton of strength the wind lifted up and
tore into a thousand pieces the solidly
built wagon bridge at the head of the
mill pond, thus cutting off wagon COM
munication between the two sides of the
town, except by: fording the river below
the dams The dam is right in the point
where the Omaha crosses the river be-
ing just above, and the flour mill being
just below the tracks The mill pond ex-
tended from the railroad bridge to the
wagon bridge, and was a magnificent re-
ceptacle for the debris of the DESTROYED
town Its bottom is strewn with heavy
objects, and Immediately after the storm
Its surface was covered with floating

the south side of the river was badly
handled, and Alfred Bakers residence,
near the tracks and not far from what
was the Omaha depot, was near enough
to the edge of the disturbance to escape
with It's frame intact, though badly shat
tered. On this west side of the town and
on the west flank of the storm MANY
houses were more or less injured beyond
the swathe of destruction that has been
described. The cyclone seemed to skin
one house to take whirl at one lust

trees two feet thick were pulled up by
the roots In some cases and in others
broken squarely off.

soon afterwards sent a large four-horse

the purpose of aiding the stricken peo-

the rest were utterly torn to pieces and
pushed down into the earth. The street
running north and south between these
dwellings is entirely overcast with wreck

smaller one. The company was re-
presented by J. Howard Pardoe, an
attorney of Watsontown. and d.
Clarence Willoughly, a "Jim Slick
er" of New York City. We do not
wish to say that the WhitneySatety
Fire Arms Company isnot all right,
but they failed to satisfy our COM
mittee that there wasany substantial
backing to support them and what
looks more suspicious is that there
was not enough money among the
outfit of representatives to get them
out of town and pay their hotel bills.
One of their number tried to get a
check cashed for $50 at the bank
here and Cashier Thompson called
up on the telephone the bank upon
which the check was drawn and re-
ceived word that the check would
not be honored. Here is a pretty
spectacle Of young fellow trying
to talk our people into deal involv-
ing an investment of $4,000 and
his check on his home bank not
worth $40 and he left town without
paying his hotel bill. The expenses
of his first trip over here was paid
by our people.
Surely such conduct on the part
of the representatives does not in
spire much confidence in the COM
pany.
