EIGHT DEAD IN
DAKOTA CYCLONE
Twister Cuts Wide Swath in
North Dakota, Leaving Death
and Ruin in Wake.
MANY HOUSES ARE WRECKED

Grand Forks. n. D., June /. - A
cyclone or tornado swept through
Northern and Central North Dakota
and Western Minnesota like a blast
from a furnace and blazed a trail OF
death and destruction.
Eight lives snuffed out like so many
flickering candles. five persons injur-
ed so that they will probably die, a
score of others more or less hurt, a
quarter Of a million dollars worth Of
property destroyed with n fell
swoop and Geographic and telephone
communication broken and crippled
is the record OF the whirlwind which
wrought terrific havoc in a few hours
Saturday.
The worst sufferer from the storm
was Langdon. n. D., where five per-
son were killed and twenty or o
injured. The loss to property there
will reach fully $4,000, and the gen
eral decentralization of business AUS
ed by the damage will reach a consid-
erably larger sum.
Forty Houses Raced.
With but little warning the storm
swept down on the town about 6
o'clock in the evening. With a wild
swirl it swept about the streets and
~roadways and in less than five min
utes forty houses were RACED to the
ground, the Methodist church was
torn from its foundation and scatter
ed. in the streets like driftwood in the
surf. and the huge grain elevators
were swept aside like so much kin
ding and left a pitiful heap Of broken
planks.
People rushed from their homes in
wild dismay and as they did so were
hurled by the wind like bits of paper.
YpsiIanti Is Wrecked,
From Jamestown, N. D., II Is re-
ported that Ypsilanti. a village thir-
teen miles south Of there, has practi-
caIly been destroyed by the cyclone.
The farm house of George Graves
was blown into the James river, and
Mrs. Graves and her two young
daughters, who were in the house at
the time, were instantly killed. Every
house in the village was either entire
ly or partially destroyed.
After leaving Ypsilanti the cyclone
sped down the James river, destroy
ing farm houses and wrecking every
thing in it's path.
Damage In Jamestown.
In jamestown all the buildings Of
tLo T,.,o,,or-, IN,;, ,.CDni,ttnr xrara
demolished, the Russell-Miller -four
mill was wrecked and a large portion
Of the Northern Pacific roundhouse
caved in, burying in the debris a num-
Der of locomotives and severely injur-
ing several Italians who had fed to
the roundhouse when the storm first
came up.
At Tyler, Mimi, a grain elevator
was lifted from it's foundations and
carried several yards away. Four
cars on the railway tracks were turn
ed upside down and three men in
them were severely injured.
At Lakota, n. d., several buildings
were struck down. At Wahpeton the
state fair buildings were demolished,
and at Devils Lake the Great North
ern wires and telegraph poles were
thrown down and communication cut
off.
Langdon Hit Hardest.
Reports from over the state last
night indicate that outside of Lang
don and Y~psilanti there was nc loss
of life in the cyclone Of Saturday.
