SENECA MAN HOME
AFTER PASSING THRU
MINNESOTA CYCLONE

&. w. Johnson. Seneca well driller,
arrived in Ottawa this morning highly
elated at his good fortune in being
alive after passing through one Of the
most thrilling experiences falling to
the lot of an ordinary civilian. Mr..
Johnson Is a survivor of the Fergus
Falls cyclone. which Sunday after.
noon swept through the Minnesota
city. leaving $4,000, eco damages in its
wake and a death toll Of fifty or more
persons Fortunately Mr. Johnson
came out of the tornado unscathed
He was a passenger on train
which was compelled to side track on
the outskirts of Fergus Falls to per
nit passage of a St. Paul limited. The
limited carrying, thirteen steel
coaches, was hurled from the tracks
in plain sight just after crossing a
high trestle But while the cyclone
rocked and threatened momentarly
to pitch his train off the rails, Mr.,

to give much heed to the catastrophe
being enacted before them until after
the funnellike cloud went on in it,

Rushing through the torrents oi
rain that followed the cyclone John
sOn and others on the train bound for
Chicago pitched In and helped rescue
people caught in the overturned lin
tied. While none of them We're killed
they were all cut and bruised.
He said the cyclone was visible for
miles as ii bore down nnon them and
when they saw the limited racing at
great speed it was very apparent the
engineer was trying to beat the storm
across the trestle He made the other
side of the rayine by hairs breadth
but had no sooner gotten across than
the tres'le collapsed and his coaches
overturned in the ditch.
The thriller occurred on the Great
Northern Railway.
From HIS point OF vantage the Sen
eca man could see the devastation
being wrought at Fergus Falls, only
a short distance away.
