before the cyclone struck the build
ng and entirely demolished it. He
suffered severe fractures of the skull
rom which he died at the Rhinelan-
Ter Hospital at eight o'clock Monday
morning. His companion, Klimasze-
Tski, suffered broken legs, elbow,
ribs, and chin and was also rushed to
he hospital where he is recovering
Us well as can be expected at this
time.
CYCLONE MoWs DOWN TREES
For miles along County Trunk A
the highway is Uttered with massive
craes destroyed by the storm, many
Of them torn up by the roots. 1t was
necessary for the road patrol to clear
his debris away before traffic with
The outside world in that direction
could be restored
The first farm i'll the path of the
on the southwest edge of the village.
BARNS and outbuildings there were
flattened, the kitchen torn off the
house and the main structure, two
story frame dwelling was blown ten
feet off from it's stone foundation.
The neighboring farm, that of Tony
III sc e.s Lott a1.ft
Where once stood large two story
frame dwelling, barns silo, cattle
sheds and other buildings is now but
a waste space without even sign of
any building standing. The house is
a heap of debris scattered over the
fields, not a stick Of it within two
hundred feet of where the buildings
originally stood. To the owner it rep
resents complete loss without insur-
ance. A woman holding young baby
in her arms and standing in the door
way of the house was carried a block
without serious injury to either of
them
HIT ALMOST EVERY HOUSE
From that point the twister swept
on into the village unroofing houses,
cutting down trees, light and tele-
phone poles, and flattening BARNS and
garages like paper houses. The home
of Mrs. Sarah Dicken across the
street from Karwoski's suffered heavy
damage, the kitchen being smashed
beyond repair and the beautiful grove
of trees surrounding the place was
cut to the ground. Hank Anderson's
house across the street suffered SINH
lar damage. Not sign of the barn
and garage in the rear Of that place
remains. Automobiles and a tractor
were wrecked there. A CAR pulling in
from Rhinelander was seeking shell
ter in the garage just as the cyclone
hit 1t made the garage but a second
later the building sailed away and
landed in field several hundred feet
away, a mass of debris, with the car
on top of it, a twisted wreck.
Continuing down that street to the
railway tracks practically every prop
dirty suffered similar misfortune.
Trees, light and telephone lines,
porches, roofs and chimneys were
scattered right and left and smaller
buildings smashed beyond recogni-
lion.
DANCE HALL VANISHED
The Sutliff Lumber & Supply Com
pany's office was hard hit, the entire
front of the building being torn out
and the lumber shed completely ruin
ed with loss that will reach $4,000
Across the street Hairy Olkowski's
opera house and dance hall, big new
building put up by the M. w. A. about
ten years ago, was leveled to the
ground, nothing remaining but the
foundation and the floor. It is hard
TO believe that so large building
could be scattered so completely as to
leave hardly a trace of the walls and
roof, but such is the case. Dance hall
debris was picked up blocks away.
The Standard Oil tanks and sta
tion next to the lumber office was un-
touched but the G. & N. W.. depot
just across the tracks was torn in
two the south half which comprised
