Whole Blocks in Ruins.
The wonder in the, mind of every
person who has seen the blocks and
blocks of ruins: the shcpeless heaps
OF wreckage that were houses; and has
learned the authenticated instances by
which the houses were blown from
their foundations and dashed, four
stories high, against sturdier struc-
lures and of the tumbling about Of To-
cornotiyes on the Missouri Pacific
roundhouse little shuttlecocks of the
wind, is that the death list is not
greater. One explanation brought for
ward is that the tornado came at an
hour when a great percentage OF the
people were on the streets than usual.
Before the storm there had not been
even a puff Of wind. AT Ave O'Clock
the clouds piling up from the south
took on an awesome greenish tinge. In
the minutes before 5: 45 O'clock the
sky turned to inky blackness and
the wind came. ~, D..
