TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE.
The City of New Richmond Wis, Des-
troyed by a Cyclone.


New Richmond. Wis, Staff
Correspondence, Pioneer Press
June l3.-Almost unparalleled in
it's absolute ferocity vas the vista
ton Of the destructive forces of
the air which overwhelmed New
Richmond on Monday afternoon.
A cyclonic storm swept down
upon the little city just at 6
o'clock, and as a man would crush
an eggshell in his hand the bust
ness section Of the city, with the
residence portions Immediately to
the south and north, were RACED to
the ground.
The destruction was sudden and
complete. A furrow eighty or a
hundred yards wide was literally
plowed through the town from
southwest to northeast, it's greatest
extension, and not one stick or
stone was left upon another.
Happy homes and prosperous
business establishments were piled
in promiscuous confusion. Frame
structures were reduced to kindling
wood and brick buildings were
dashed in upon themselves in
utter ruin. Sturdy stone blocks
with massive walls offered no APP
parent resistance to the irresistible
fury of the storm. Huge trees
were uprooted or broken, stripped
of their foliage, bark and branches
and twisted into fantastic shapes.
And in this wreck of human
handwork it could not be expected
that human life would be spared.
: The mournful roll of death is
growing rapidly. It has reached
almost to the hundred mark al
ready, and no conservative esti-
) mate places it below that number.
It may be half as many more, and
there are those who think that it
will reach we'll up to two hundred
when the confusion that now
exists is reduced to a semblance
of order.
The loss of life among the resi-
dents of the city proper is probably
already established withreasonable
defniteness. The city was filed,
however. with farmers from the
whole countryside around the city,
and there we're many visitors from
na;ohhorino villages. It will be
several days before they r all
accounted for, and there is NO
escape from the conviction that
some Of them will never be &C.
counted for other than as missing
The fire which ragged among the
ruins during the whole of the
night and day following the de-
} struction of the city will unques'
tionably destroy some Of the evi:
dence of the loss Of life. Severa.
partially incinerated bodies have
already been rescued from the lire
but the ruins Of several buildings
in which it is positively known
that some lives were lost were
totally destroyed before any eHec
tive work was organized to proven
the spread Of the flames.
Over 1000 people were seriously
injured.
Money is pouring into tn
stricken town to help relieve tn
suffering.
