= HUNDREDS OF HOMES IN RUINS Watertown, S. D., Hit Hard by Cyclonic Storm. THREE STATES IN ITS PATH Heavy Damage Also Done by Wind and Hail in Southern . Minnesota and Western Wisconsin—Score of People Injured in Stricken South Dakota Town. St. Paul, June 25—Watertown, S. D, with a score of its residents-in- jured and 300 houses damaged, was the hardest hit of any locality in the storm which swept across South Da- kota, Southern Minnesota and into Western Wisconsin before its de- structive fury was spent. The damage at Watertown alone is estimated to be between $150,000 and $300,000, while many additional thousands have been lost in property and crops in Minnesota and Wiscon- sin. Communication with all points in the Upper Mississippi valley is diffi- cult because of the demoralized con- dition of telephone and telegraph lines, The only near fatality reported outside of Watertown is at La Crosse, where a transient was caught by a falling barn. From every point in Southern Min- nesota and from many places along the Mississippi in Wisconsin with which communication has been estab- lished come reports of great damage to crops. Shade trees and small buildings sufiered throughout the storm swept area. Watertown Homes Razed. the business dis- s not affected by the storm and several churches and school buildings also were spared. The path of the tornado through the residence district was from Third avenue south to Sixth avenue and cutting through for sixteen blo It left the resi- dence section at Tenth street east and First avenue south, going south to Fourth avenue south. Mrs. Carl Backlund and baby and Miss Mary E. Clove, three of the in- jured, were pulled from beneath their house by a rescuing party. The baby will die in all probability. The storm struck near the South Dakota Central roundhouse in the southwestern part of the residence section, wrecking between 50 and 300 buildings. the majority of them expensive homes. Property damage will run between $150.000 and $300,- 000, the exact amount of loss being undeterminable at this time. Many miraculous escapes from death in the storm are reported, some fam- ilies living in houn which were com- pletely demolished Several person re injured by fly- ing portions of buildings. Trees were blown down throughout that section. HEAVY HAIL IN SOME PLACES Storm Was General in Northeastern South Dakota. Aberdeen, S. D., June 25.—Reports received of the storm in the north- eastern part of this state show heavy hail at Bowdle, light hail at Aberdeen and Bristol, but damage to crops net extensive. There was heavy rain east of Montevideo, auompamed by much wind. The most extensive damage, aside from the cyclone ster at Water- town, was at Webster, where a tor- nado hit the village and demolished the Olson elevator and the Clark liv- ery. Store fronts on the east side of the streets were blown in. Reports told of many farm houses in the com- munity being destroyed, but wires were down and it was impossible to get more details.

CITY AGAIN IS PEACEFUL After Night of Terror, During Which Two Men Are Killed, Montana Town Quiets Down—Active Hostili- ties May Be Renewed at Any Time. Butte, Mont., June 25.—After a night of terror, in which twenty-three dynamite blasts were explodéd in ef- forts to destroy Union hall, the refuge of miners threatened by seceders, and the front of the building had col- lapsed, Butte was quiet again. Gov- ernor Stewart, at Helena, who had under consideration the question of | sending militia to the scene, abandon- ed the plan temporarily, but no one knows when . active hostilities may break out again and armed force be necessitated to bring peace. Men walked the streets armed, deputies patrolled main thorough- fares and few ventured near the dis- trict where two men were killed in the climax of hostilities that have lasted nearly two weeks. Repeated attempts were made to. dynamite Miners’ Union hall, evident- ly with the idea of annihilating Pres- oyer and other offi- iLel&. of the Weslem Federation of | Miners, who were to address a peace meeting. Tha first attempt failed and Moyer and others had fled the hall.

Although the mlnsrn\ ‘who had been at outs since the seceders broke up a union parade on.June 13 and wrecked the inside of Union hall, had been quiet’ for a week, President Moyer feared trouble. He had Dbeen in Butte for seyer-l dnyn, trying to induce the Teyolters to’ return. = His endeavors, had failed and the insurgents had or- ganized an mdependent organization. Mutterings against officers of the ‘Western “Federation of Miners had been heard and President Moyer ask- ed Sheriff Driscoll to have guards at the hall to prevent any interruption of the meeting, which was to outline new overtures of peace. Many of the 2,000 men who had left the old union declared that they would no longer adhere to its oflicers and endure what they termed"unfair treatment,“and announced that any efforts to entice back any of the se- ceders would be met with active in- terference. When President Moyer arrived and looked over the situation he asked that all the officers of the Butte union elected while the revolters were dis- franchised resign and the officers con- sented. This did not ameliorate the insurgents and they perfected a new union. It was to-adopt new measures for_enticing the rebels to retwn to the Western - Federation that. the meeting was called.
