They, too, had delved in those ruins
frantically, all Sunday night, in the
rain and wind. Yesterday they were
trying vaguely to realize the horror Oh
it all. They were too dazed to speak
all save those whose friends or rela-
tives were missing. Most of them
talked very little. Apparently they
could not remember how the storm
came, or what it was like. Every
hour or so a low groan broke from The
crowd land white-faced men and wo-
men hurried up to the soldiers. An
other body had been found.
All day yesterday soldiers and civil
ians searched for the dead in the
nearby lakes. On the west shore OF
Lake Alice many prominent citizens
had beautiful summer homes. Most
of these were demolished when the
storm swooped down over the lake af-
ter having cut it's path through the
town. The bodies of several of the
householders were recovered from the
lake yesterday. Many more are be-
ieved to be in the water. From One
Mile Lake they recovered the body OF

The suction also tore out the track

The death list last night stood at
a, one of whom had not been identi-
fed. The unidentified victim wom-
an, was taken from the ruins of the
Grand hotel yesterday afternoon. 1t
is feared, however, that many more
bodies will be found when the rescur-
ers come to that part of the hotel
basement into which the lobby col
lapsed. ....
Train service was restored yester-
day afternoon. Three telephone cir
cults and two telegraph commercial
wires were flooded with messages last
night. The Northwestern, Telephone
Exchange company issued statement
last night urging outsiders not to call
Fergus Falls except in cases of great
est emergency. Incoming business had
clogged the service and the calling OF
persons desired was declared to be
almost impossible because so many
residences had been destroyed.
No further arrangements had been
made last night for the burial of vic
tins, except that the original plan
for holding a community funeral We'd
resday were being held in allegiance.
Early estimates that the property loss
would be $1,5000,0O0 were maintained
last night, with belief that it would
exceed $2,5OO,00O.

Grand hotel registered 4:52 when re-
covered from the wreckage yesterday,
showing the time the tornado struck
Sunday afternoon.
