HAVOC WROUGHT BY STORM.
Damage Far Less Than First Reported.
Not a Life Was Lost.

SHEBoYGAN, Wis, Aug. 21.--A care
full review of the havoc caused here by
yesterdays tornado shows the damage
to have been far less than was at first
thought. The number of buildings de-
stroyed or partially wrecked is not over
IS and the pecuniary loss in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
The most remarkable feature of the
storm is that not life was lost. The
storm originated at Marinette and from
reports from the north it seems to have
followed the line of the Chicago and
Northwestern road down as far as Osh-
kosh. There it veered to the east and
apparently spent its force on Lake
Michigan.
