Washta, Ia, July M.-Carried six
rods and dashed to pieces by striking
on Its roof. the farm house Of Ell
Crum, a mile west of Washta, was
wrecked by a cyclone last evening
about 6 o'clock. The house was occu-
pied by the family Of Jim Williams,
but they took refuge in a cave and
thus escaped. The barn, occupied by
seven horses. was also destroyed. One
OF the animals was slightly scratched,
but the others escaped injury. Hog
houses and other outbuildings were
blown down.
Starting from near the same locality
an %incipient cyclone plowed a path
about IL feet wide through q corr field,
struck the river and went into the air,
coming down again about three miles
east OF Washta, where it overturned a
buggy being driven by Ernest Keck.
His mother, Mrs. John Keck, and her
mother, Mrs. Baker, were thrown from
the vehicle n only slightly injured.
Barns on the Carey Wise farm, the
