Three Terrific storms.

Three distinct tornadoes, awful in
their effects, broke over Iowa and Mis-
souri, yesterday. The first struck
Creston, going from west to east, in
jured several people and demolished
dwellings and outbuildings, but fortu-
nately no one is yet reported killed.
The second also having an east
erly course, struck first at Botna. vii
age in Shelby county, destroying the
little pixie entirely. according to tele-
graphic reports. Owing TO the fact
however, that but few details are OBJ
tainable, it is not known how many
deaths, if any occurred there. This
storm rushed on eastward into Polk
county, striking Des Moines, where
three deaths occurred, then turning
northeast to Marshalltown. Attthe lat
ster place the winds fury had ahated
somewhat and the damage is all to the
property, no deaths or injuries having
resulted from the storm at that point.
The Iowa Soldiers Home was damag-
ed and several of the inmates narrow.
ly escaped being struck by falling de.
bris.
The Missouri tornado evidently orig
mated in Iowa, but is reported first as
having done damage at Elmo, little
place just over the Missouri line about
eight miles south of Blanchard, town
in southwestern Iowa. Here nine peo-
pie were killed and much property was
ruined, while the cyclone kept fiercely
on its way southwest, demolished farm
houses and barns
