cut of supplies. as the settlement ex--

says the Jewell (kas) Republican was
the taking up into it's wI;rl of a 1900
pound white-face bull and slamming
him down again one mile from the
starting point. The bull was valued
at 500
Another feat which it performed was
to tear up the original prairie sod to
the depth of eight inches. One man
500 yards from the storm saw what he
took to be chickens being whirled high
in IT, air and then hurled to the
ground. On going to the path of the
cyclone he found the objects were not
chickens, but thirty Hereford cattle.
All were dead but four, and these had
to be killed.
A horse was given a mud bath While
in the sky that covered him like the
armor plate of a battleship. When un-
cased from its mud armor the horse
was alive and will recover. In addition
to the seven cyclones there was huge
waterspout that let itself down out of
the clouds and lashed its tail around
like a great serpent. The most sur
prlsing thing of all is that while many
houses were destroyed not one human
life was lost
