NORTH ST. LOUIS
IS STORM SWEPT
Tornado Does Considerable Damage
in Worlds Fair City.
SCORES WERE INJURED
Many Houses Were UnrOofed, Build
ings Blown Down, and Telegraph,
Telephone and Street Car Serv-
ice Badly Crippled.

St. Louis, Aug. 20.--Two men killed
and twenty or more persons were in
jured in severe storm which descend
ed suddenly and almost without warn
ing on small section of North st.
Louis shortly after three o'clock Fri
day afternoon.
One man was killed and 20 injured
at Madison, Ill.
The storm spent most Of its fury on
North Broadway, in the vicinity of
Fair street, from 1900 to 3700. The
storm seemed to dip down out the
clouds which had been hanging over
that part of the city.
1t came in the form Of spiral tow
er, whirling forward with great force
and damaging everything directly in
it's path.
Telegraph poles for distance of five
blocks on Broadway were moved down
one after another as weeds before a
scythe.
Roofs were blown from houses. Troll
ley and feed wires and smaller wires
were blown down. Trees were up
rooted. IN
The air was filled with flying tim
bers and splinters and with debris and
dust. The people were stricken with
terror. AS many as had time sought
shelter in cellars,
The storm passed almost as quickly
as it came, leaving the people dazed
from the suddenness of the attack Of
the elements.
After traversing Broadway for five
blocks, the storm cloud turned east
ward, and, after doing considerable
damage between Broadway and the riv-
er, leaped across to Madison. Its gen.
eral direction was northwest to south
east.
A part Of the roof wa5 blown from
the factory of the Buck Stove & Range
Co.
Six persons we're injured at the
Neidringhaus plant at Second and Des-
trehan streets. A large smoke stack
blew down and crashed through the
roof into q workroom, where large
number of men were at work
The boiler house of large foundry
block east of Broadway was de-
stroyed.
Sun shone Elsewhere.
While the storm was whirlins
through North st. Louis the sun was
shining in the central part of the city
in West and South st. Louis and at thu
Worlds fair. Nobody in any of thu
other parts of the city knew that there
was a storm in Nerth st. Louis
Reports from surrounding towns, in
cluding Venice, Granite City, Madison
and Brooklyn, H., north of East st
Louis, and on the other side of tn
river from North st. Louis, indicate
that they received the very worst o
the cyclone
According to what seems at thi
time to be perfectly accurate reports
four persons have been killed.
The wife of the chief of the polio
Of the town of Venice. was one OF tn
quartet which lost their lives.
In all the towns named, number o
barns and outhouses were demolished
1t was reported on the wires that tn
total number Of injuries, including ia
talitiess and slight wounds, throughou
southern Illinois, as the result of tn
cyclone, is 100.
Many rural districts have not bee
heard from as yet, and the prospect
that this total will be sadly increase
when all reports are in.
