ln.-NO One Hurt.

Terre Haute, Ind, June 5.-Word has
reached this city of damage sustained
north of Watseka, H.. by the Chicago
g. Eastern Illinois railroad. An extra
freight train was struck by cyclone
while running at good rate of speed
and the wind carried five cars out of the
train and blew out two tracks for dis
tance of 60 feet, together with a good
portion of the roadbed. Two cars
loaded with barrels and two loaded
with heavy lumber were lifted bodily
from the trucks and thrown into the
ditch, while an empty box car was
hurled clear off the right of way. The
railroad company repaired the damage
and traffic was resumed on temporary
track. The damage to roadbed and
equipment will be heavy.
