Came From Southwest.
The area swept by the storm was
two blocks wide and nearly fifteen
blocks long, striking the city from the
southwest. Three dozen houses were
affected, but most Of them we're not
irreparably damaged. The Catholic
church and parsonage were virtually
wrecked and the new Washington
school building, costing 100000, was
unroofed.
The plants Of the Maytag company
and the Automatic Washing Machine
Company were most seriously dam
aged, the entire fourth floor Of tho
Maytag building being blown away.
Valuable manufactured goods were
stored on this floor and were scattered
far and wide by the twister. The Par
sons plant and the Rock Island depot
were damaged, and the buildings at the
garbage plant were wrecked.
Elm Park, one Of the best suburban
residential districts, was hard hit,
porches being blown off. and windows
and roofs damaged. None Of the houses
was destroyed, however, owing large
ly to the substantial character Of their
construction. First avenue west and
Second avenue west were badly dam
aged. buildings being unroofed and
trees and poles and wires being blown
down.
The lumber yard Of the Denniston-
Partridge Company was partially
wrecked. the roof and part Of the brick
walls of the storage house being de-
molished. This building was erected
within the year.
All the factories are out Of commits
sion today because Of Jack of electric
power, and two-thirds u the city was
without lights during the night.
Typical Tornado.
The storm struck here at $3.50 last
evening, and was a typical tornado,
with funnel-shaped cloud sweeping
up from the southwest and travelling in
northeasterly direction. It's path thru
the city was about a block in width.
and 1t travelled zigzag course. The
greatest damage was about four blocks

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, May 22.-Death and destruc-
tion followed in the path Of storm
that seemed to lend most Of it's force
ito section just north and west of Ell
dora last evening between the hours Of
s and o'clock. Henry Finster, for
years a prominent farmer living in
Clay township few miles northeast Of
this place, was killed in the storm, his
neck being broken, one leg almost sew
cred from the body and the body other
wise mangled. A man employed on
the Finster farm, named Homer Nc
Claim, also was severely injured and
may die as result Of the wounds in
flicted. He was taken to hospital in
Marshalitown.
A dozen houses, barns and outbuild-
ings were carried by the tornado cloud
as tho they were straws. The build
ings on the Fred Sprain farm, west of
Eldora, about twenty in number, were
leveled to the ground, not one being left
intact.
Farm Buildings Ruined.
The barp on the Pleasant View farm,
directly west Of this place, was moved
from its foundation and other buildings
were more or less damaged. The
bridge across the river north Of EldOra,
"a structure 120 feet long. of steel and
wood, was blown from it's moorings.
The house, barn and other buildings
on the Perkins and Huff farms north
Of this city a few miles we're torn down
and scattered over a vast territory.
John Walker, farmer living q half
mile to the north Of the bridge to the
north Of Eldora, was badly bruised by
being struck by falling timbers, but 1t
is now believed no serious results will
follow his injuries.
Groves Moved Down.
In many instances large groves were
literally moved down as sharp
scythe would cut grass. Trees were
uprooted and a torrent of rain and hail
fell Window lights at the Pierce green
house and in buildings in Eldora were
broken in great numbers.
How any in the path Of the storm
escaped with their lives is mystery.
At the Fred Sprain home, northwest Of
this place. they and their neighbors,
who were in the center or force of the
storm, took to the cellars when the
black cloud came over. Had they re-
mained in the buildings there is little
doubt now but that the number Of
deaths would have been great.
