were wrecked. in one of which an en-
tire family. consisting of husband, wife
md four children, We're instantly killed.
So far their names have not been OBJ

ther casualties may be reported. The
list of casualties so far learned is:

lam Hilstrom and n family of six, near
Pike lake; names are not known.

About twenty-five others more or less

The house in which the MarowitZ
family lives was completely wrecked,
and the body of Mrs. Marowitz was
found fully 400 feet away, every bone
in her body being broken and her clo-
thing completely stripped off. The
body of her husband was found amid
the debris of their home, horribly mu-
tilated.
William HilStrOm was struck on the
head by falling tree and his skull
crushed. He afterward died at the
hospital
The engine house of the Duluth, Me-
saba & Northern railway was com
pletely wrecked and number of loco
motives and cars We're shifted from the
tracks and pounded into scrap iron.
The engine ON which Murray and An
dersOn were when the storm broke,
was blown from the track and the men
were pinned beneath 1t and horribly
burned by the escaping steam. Other
men at work near them had narrow
escapes. Several cars blown from the
tracks were found in the Duluth mine
pit, hundreds of feet away. Many of
the buildings destroyed We're owned by
the mining companies and tenanted by
their employees. The shaft house and
buildings of three mines were reduced
to kindling wood.
The tornado. which lasted less than
five minutes. was preceded by an unu-
srally severe thunder and rain storm.
The rain has flooded many of the open
pit mines and they cannot be operated
for some time.

Arthur Goebel, meanwhile, sat

Finally quiet was restored and Judge

Chao Shu Chiao. both bloodthirsty con-
spirators, are to punished as censorate
and board of civil offices direct.
The edict ends with the expression
of the hope that such punishment,
brought on themselves by the minis
ters who betrayed their trust, may be
accepted by the country as proper
punishment
This edict, inspired by the Empress
Dowager is in the right direction, and
shows that the bitterness of her pres
ent lot in exile has led to a repentance
which Christian bloodshed and suffer
ing never reused.
But these sentences are wholly mad
