A CYCLONES WORK.
Farmhouse In Iowa Demolished
Three Inmates Killed and
Three Badly Injured,

Minneapolis, Mimi, June IA spe-
cial to the Tribune from Sioux City, Ia,
says: A tornado at $3.50 Sunday aft
ernoon struck two miles southeast
of the little town of Salix, 16 miles from
here, and killed three people outright
and one more will die. The dead are:
John Malloy, farmer; Mrs. John NAL
10y, his wife, and Harry Malloy, To-
year-old son. Miss Bessie Malloy, the
1S-year-old daughter, had her skull
fractured and is not expected to live
Thomas and Pat Malloy are badly hurt.
None other members of the family of
father, mother, seven sons and daugh-
ter were injured. So far as can be
learned no one else was killed or in
jured.
The family was Mt supper when the
funnel-shaped cloud was first seen, and
Dick Malloy told his parents TO go to
the cellar. He ran to the home of Mrs.
Hassell. widow, across the road. to
warn her and her seven children. He
took them to the cellar and the house
was whirled away, injuring no one.
He had to hold one boy by the legs as
he was being drawn up by the suction
OF the wind. But the Maloy family
across the road only remained in the
cellar about five minutes, and the ia
Their suggested that the cloud was only
rain. They came UP, and in an instant
the house was demolished.
The dead and injured members were
scattered among the ruins. The con-
ductor of a freight train saw the cloud
and stopped his train before it got in
the storm, and when he reached the
town he held his train long enough TO
bring the injured to the hospital in
Sioux City.
Wild rumors are afloat of more dam
age in Woodbury. county, but this can
not be verified. At Homer, Neb., a re-
vival tent was blown over and an I'M
known woman was fatally injured.
