NEW RICHMOND, Wis, June 15.-The
last sad rites were hastily said over the
remains of nearly forty of the cyclone
victims today. Two score of the dead
were buried in the Protestant and Cath
olic cemeteries, and the work of the un-
dertakers is practically complete.
The list of the dead is swelled to 119,
with a strong probability that several
more names will be added The work
men have handled over great deal of
the rubbish, but in several cases they
have not reached the floors of the cell
lars of the Main street buildings, where
1t is expected that several of the missing
would be found 1t is the general opin-
ion, however, that but few more will be
found, as nearly everybody In town has
been accounted for, although several
people came in from the country today
looking for their relatives.
The basement of the Williams store
was reached today and thoroughly over
hauled, but the investigation failed to
disclose any additional bodies
Several of those who were reported as
dead have presented themselves to the
committee, and the list was today re-
vised Tom Healey, who was reported
dead, is at his home nursing game leg.
He was taken out of the Williams build
ing several hours after the tornado
struck the city Patrick Heffron, who
was also reported dead was around the
streets, and Fred Hawkins the surviving
member of the Hawkins family, is at St
Joseph's hospital Several reports listed
him among the dead. Frank Hollenback
and Walter Hicks are both alive.
The following names were added yes
terday to the long roll of the dead:
BLATZ, Michael.
CAROUCH, Miss.
BERCE Charles.
ENGSTROM, two children.
HENRY, Patrick, Cylon.
KEATING, Patrick, Cylon.
LEGARD, Ida.
MCCLURE, Mrs. Sophronia.
NEWELL, Patrick
NELSON, Nels. Polk county.
PETERSON, Mary.
WALLIN, Lester.
Some other changes are to be made in
yesterdays list. Fred Hawkins and Pat
rick Heffron, reported dead, have turned
up alive. and Thos. MeNally, also re-
ported dead, is still lingering, though
very low. 1t was Archie and not Francis
xuho
Stacks name was also accidentally omit
ted from yesterdays list.
MORE BODIES FOUND.
The remains of Tom Martin, the bar
Der, were found early this morning in
the rear of Johnson's saloon His fea-
lures were very badly disfgured, and
every bone in his body was apparently
broken. His face was badly discolored
He was quickly identified by several
New Richmond people. Martin was found
under a great pile of rubbish, which was
not overhauled until yesterday.
The remains of three small children
apparently H. and years of age, were
found by the workmen this afternoon,
and the remains were turned over to
Father Degman, of the Catholic church.
AS SSkOIdl CIlllOTSu are missing, ne is
unable to determine their identity They
were uerecognizable. They were buried
in one grave in the Catholic cemetery.
One Of the most touching incidents con-
nected with the cyclone aftermath was
the discovery of the arm of an infant In
the ruins, by c.. R. Nichols, of this city.
Mr., Nichols took his find over to the
Congregational church, and turned it
over to the undertakers
SEARCHING THE MILL POND.
Interest now centers around the search
which is to be made of the mill pond
One Of the gates in the mill dam was
opened today, and large volume of
water rushed through the gates, down
the Willow river channel However, the
water has been very high during the
month, and it will be twenty-four hours
before the great body of water will be
out of the pond. Stats are placed on the
inside of the gate, so as to prevent any
bodies from being washed down stream.
A large crew will be put to work drag
ging for bodies tomorrow morning
The surface of the river is covered with
floating debris that can be seen for miles
down stream. The steel wagon bridge
had been carried from its resting place
and landed on the west bank of the river
IL
weighs many hundred tons, and the full
fury of the storm is appreciated by the
many sightseers, who are here today,
when they view the remains Of the
bridge.
The papers belonging to the Bank of
New Richmond are now safely lodged In
President McCoys house, having been
taken out of the vault.
NO MAIL SINCE MONDAY.
Since the storm the city has not only
been cut off from telegraphic communi-
cation, but no mail has been brought in
since Monday afternoon. A temporary
postoflce has been established by Mayor
Wears. and mail will be distributed to-
morrow.
It was reported today that the guards
fired on q man attempting to cross the
lines last night. Inquiry was made of
the military authorities, who denied the
story, but said that one of the deputies
had fired on q man. Further inquiry
threw no further light on the subject.
1t Is, however, certain that any one
caught attempting to trespass will be
sumE,arily dealt with.
