SCENE OF DESOLATION-MAN
WOUNDED BURNED TO DEATH.
THE TOWN OF HERMAN, NE
BRASKA, SWEPT BY A CY-
CLONE-TWELVE KNOWN TO
BE DEAD AND HUNDREDS IN
JURED.
NEW RICHMOND, Wis, June 13.-
Fully one hundred corpses, twice as
many mangled people, forty acres of
piles of bricks, shivered planks, scat
tered heaps of household goods, dead
horses through which the wind had
driven sharp splinters of boards,
Smouldering fires where houses stood
but yesterday and in the midst OF it
all, trees as bare of leaves as ever they
were in the middle of winter, and for
the most part stripped bare of bark
this is what the storm of yesterday
wrought in the space of three minutes
upon the town of New Richmond
There may have been cyclones which
created greater devastation, some that
have occasioned greater loss of life, but
it was only because there was more ma
terial for destruction III their path than
this small village could afford.
1t will be several days before the
number of dead in New Richmond is
accurately known. and it is doubtful
if the entire number of fatalities will
ever be chronicled.
