SWEPT BY WIND AND WATER
“linens, Mm, ,Wrecked by a Cloudburst.
and Baxter Springs, Kath. Piled In
Ruins by a. Tornado—Jellbrson
City Flooded—Bridges Down.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., July 8,—A storm
awful in its terror and total in its work
of destruCtion wiped out the. town of Wt-
nona, on the Current river branch of the
Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis
railway in Shannon county, at half past
10 o’clock Friday night. It is known that
12 persons lost their lives, and eight men
are missing. ' '
The dead are: Rev. G. W. Duncan, Mrs.
‘G. W. Duncan, Mattie Duncan, Martha,
daughter of G. W. Duncan; Mrs. Craw.
ford, Gert Crawford, George Nevins, Nor-
man Evans, little daughter of Lloyd
Wright; John Morris, Mrs. Nevins.
The bodies of Rev. G. W. Duncan and
his wife and daughter, George Nevins,
Norman Nevins and the Wright girl were
recovered, but the others have not been
found. A slashing ruin preceded by a
fierce wind set in at 9 o'clock Friday
night. While the wind ceased, the rain
increased intensely until at 10 o’clock it
became a warring tumult.
At 10:15 four feet of water was on the
streets, in 15 minutes more buildings
could no longer stand the strain and be-
gun to careen and disintegrate in the wa-
ters. Vivid flashes of lightning pierced
the downpour, which came like the falls
of Niagara. Houses were smashed, and in
the waters Were hundreds of men, women
and children. It- was like a- shipwreck .
on land. Cries of terror and shouts for
help from the struggling humanity cling-
ing to pieces of timber made the scene one
that baifled intelligent efi'ort to save the
helpless. The strong current rushing down
the ravine or valley carried many to high-
er land and places of safety.
When the torrent had to a degree sub-
sided, the men who had seen to their own
families turned their attention to others,
and by 3 o’clock in the morning the worst
was over. Those who had escaped the
SWeep of the devastation stood shivering
with wet clothing and without an oppor-
tunity to dry themselves. When day
dawned, there was nothing of their homes
in the town. There was no shelter, no
food and no clothing. As soon as the de-
stroyed telegraph communication was re-
stored Mayor 13. F. Evans telegraphed to
this city for aid. The inhabitants of Wi-
nona are scattered among farmhouses or
have gone to neighboring. towns.
In all 30 buildings were destroyed. Wi-
nona, in point of population and business,
was the most import-ant town in Shannon
county.
Baxter Springs In Ruins.
BAXTER SPRINGS, Kan, July 8.—Bax—
tor Springs was laid in ruins, five people
were killed and 20 others badly wounded
by a cyclone that struck the town about 6
o’clock Friday evening. ,
A complete list of dead is as follows:
Sallie Webster, aged '70; Florence Web-
ster, aged 36; Ralph Webster, aged 3;
Thomas Shields, baby; H. Hibbs.
The injured are: Mrs. Neal, both collar
bones broken and internally injured;
James Neal, scalp wound and internal in-
juries; Roy Webster, right arm broken,
right hip and left elbow dislocated; Mrs.
Martha Smith, hip dislocated and internal
injuries; Ella Smith, internal injuries;
George A. Dicker, head injured; A. G.
Hamback, head injured. Three members
of A. Sharp’s family are badly injured;
Mrs. Thomas Shields, living nine miles
south, fatally injured. _
There seems to have been two currents
of wind which struck the toWn, one from
the north and the other from the west, and
they met near the M. 43. church, joined
forces and turned cast, doing serious dam-
age to property before meeting, and com-
pleting the destruction after coming to-
gether. The first object struck after the
meeting Was the M. E. church. This was
totally destroyed. and it lies in a heap of
ruins. The current turned slightly to the
southeast, doing a good deal of damage
until it reached a point just west of J. M.
Cooper’s large store, where it turned di-
rectly cast, striking the store building,
caving in the west end and badly damag-
ing the roof. The store was flooded, and
much damage was done t9 the goods. The
Christian church was directly in the path.
It lies like a pile of kindling wood. The
Episcopal- church was not touched, but the
storm struck farther up the street on the
south side, and from there on not a resi-
dence escaped. .
A conservative estimate of the damage
places it at $100,000. There was little it
any cyclone insurance. The damage to
property west of Baxter Springs cannot be
fully determined. It 'is reported that f01
many miles in the track of the cyclone
stone fences and barns were blown dovvn
and crops more or less destroyed.

side extends almost two miles back. The
water is nearly to the second story of the
