his head indicating that he had
been struck by flying timbers
or branches of trees. The bus
was torn into pieces, fragments
lying around in many places, the
larger part being thrown up
against a tree several rods from
the road. The horses were found
later without having sustained
any injury, but looking as though
they had been rolled in the mud,
and the harness had been torn
from their backs.
The trees in the path of the
cyclone were broken and twisted,
bereft of branches and in some
cases uprooted, and these evi
dences of the wrath of the storm
were particularly noticeable
here.

The cyclone continued in a
southeasterly course across the
fat land at the foot of the lake,
leaving a wreck of telegraph
poles and wires in its trail, and
striking the railroad just east of

railroad construction work. Four
or five of these cars were lifted
from the rails and turned over,
