A , Death Dealing Cyclone Doves?

‘ tates Central Missouri.

STREWN WITH DEAD BODIES

Ten Corpses Found, and It In Believed the
Number of Killed Will Reach Forty. '
Many of the Victims So BadlyI
Injured That They Will Die.

MEXICO, Mo., May 22,—0ne of the most
terrible cyclones that ever visited Mis-
souri swept through the central portion
of the state. The climax of its destructive-
ness seems to have been reached in this
neighborhood. So far ten' bodies have
been found and many people are missing.
It is believed that when all are accounted
for the number of dead will run up to
forty. .

The dead' are: John Crane, a. farmer;
John Doerger, a. boy of six years; Joseph
Kendall, Benton Kunkel and several
others living near Worcester, nine miles
north of Mexico, whose names could not
be ascertained; a baby of Mrs. Norris,
A. R. Rogers, a. farmer living at Rush—
ville, and many others are reported killed
whose names could not be obtained.

The wounded are: Miss Doerger, a girl
of twelve, fatally; Mrs. Doerger and two
children, fatally; John Doerger, fatally;
Miss Fletcher, daughter of Samuel Fletch-
er; John Harrison, a wealthy stock deal-
er, living near Centralia; H. C. Hunt, a.
prominent farmer; Caleb Norris, will re-
cover; Mrs. Norris, will die; a. son and
daughter of Norris, seriously; Mrs. Nor-
ris, mother of E. B., fatally; Mrs. Emily
Seal, aged sixty, will die; William Yost-
meyer, fatally; Mrs. Yostmeyer and two
children, fatally.

Dead and Dying Everywhere.

The cyclone passed three miles northeast
of town. It struck Bean Creek neighbor-
hood about six miles northeast of the
town. Going in a. zigzag direction north-
east, it laid waste the country as far as
discovered for ten or twelve miles, carry-
in g everything before it.

A dispatch was received here calling for
doctors and help. All the doctors of the
city responded. The first house reached
was that of a Mr. Duflt‘y, who lives half a.
mile south of the path of the cyclone.
There Were found six members of one fam-
ily in the storm district—the family of
John Doerger. A boy of six was killed in-
stantly. He was mangled almost beyond
recognition and covered with mud. .Mr.
Doerger and his daughter, twelve years of
age, were in bed. The daughter is fatally
injured, with a large hole in her side, one
leg broken and several severe cuts in the
head.

Mrs. Doerger is seriously wounded, and
presents a terrible sight. Mr. Doerger had
cuts in his head, body and arms, and was
probably internally injured. He will die.
His house was swept from existence, the
barn blown down and two horses killed.

The next house was William Strau-
berg’s. There were there William Yost-
meyer, wife and baby and little girl. They‘
injured. Yostmeyer’s
house and everything in the place were
swept away.

The next place visited was E. B. Norris.
There were found seven injured. The first
was Miss Fletcher, daughter of Mr. R. S.
Fletcher. She is fatally injured. Her
skull is broken and her head laid open.
Caleb Norris is badly hurt, but not dan-
gerously. His wife is fatally hurt, and
his son and daughter are seriouslyman-
gled. Mrs. Emily Seal, a widow aged
sixty, will die. Mrs. Norris’ mother is fa.-
tally hurt. The cyclone seemed to be the
hardest at this house. The house, bedding
and furniture are scattered over the fields
for half a mile.

One Man Torn to Pieces.

The house of Valentine Erdle caught
fire and was swept away, including barns
and outhouses. The residence of T. B.
Hall was blown down, but his family was
saved by going into the cellar. A horse
was carried half a mile and dashed to
pieces. Thomas Werkman’s house was
swept away. The home of Beston Kunkel
was swept away. Mr. Kunkel was picked
up and thrown against a wagon and in'-
stantly killed.

A farmer by the name of Rogers was
killed and several others whose names
could‘not be learned. Fences werebloWn
down, and the wheat fields are as flat as if
mowed in harvest time. A farmer named
Crane was caught in the storm in his
wagon and literally torn to pieces. Joseph
Kendall’s house and barn were blown
down and Kendall killed. He had just
left the house and gone to the barn as the
barn was lifted up. The barn was scat-
tered all over the fields.

James Dillard’s house was blown down
and a mowing machine was carried about
100yards and literally torn to shreds. A
large iron roller weighing 1,000 pounds
was taken up and broken to pieces. There
is no doubt that great destruction of prop-
erty and life has occurred further east.
Great trees were taken up by the roots
and broken off. The scenes here are heart-
rending in the extreme.

T. S. Morris said: “When I first noticed
the storm the wind blew a gale. I was
holding my baby in my arms when the
cyclone struck the house. I was dashed
against the house and the baby was car-
ried a. hundred yards and dashed against
atree. I picked it up and went back to
the house to find it strewn in every direc-
tion.”

The path of the cyclone was 300 yards
wide. The people of the neighborhood are
all Germans, of moderate means, and are
rendered entirely destitute by this terrible
visitation.

An Adventuress in Agony.

CHICAGO, May 22.——Tossing upon a. bed
of agony at the county hospital lies Mrs.
George Bond, the adventuress. This is
the woman who forced her way into Mayor
Washburne’s ofiice last week, alleged that
she was the daughter of the late ex-Gov-
ernor Marcy, of New York, and telling a
gauzy and flimsy yarn about her marital
troubles and the subsequent death 'of her
husband, begged to be sent to New York
city. The woman is suffering from mor-
phine poisoning, self administered and
with suicidal intent. The fact that Mrs.
Bond is not the daughter of New York’s
former governor has been fully estab-
lished. Governor Marcy’s only surviving
daughter at the time of his death died in
Europe two years ago.

Rothschilds to the Rescue.
LONDON, May 22.—The Rothschilds will
Friday send bullion to the value of. £1,-
000,000 to Russia. So strong is the effect
of the influx of gold in weakening dis-
count rates that the importatidnof bullion
is likely to be. checked.
