A Tornado Does Slizht Damage in Several Towns. S1. Pavr, Minn,, July 17.—Another heavy storm prevailed in this state y e ing. At Red Wing and Lake City the rain is thought to have done some damage to crops, but that is all. Marine, a little town near Stillwater, as well as Stillwater itsclf, was re- ported wiped out, but tie latest reports from there discredit the story. Anoku suffered some loss from leveled fences, but the worst of the storm there passed north of that city, from which section nothing has yet been heard. Clear Lake, Wis., according to one report, was a severe sufferer, but more defi- nite statements from there state that the dam- age was very slight. The worst of the tor- nado was felt in'St. Paul's northern suburo, North ~ St. Paul, where the storm played havoc with property, but no 10ss of life resulted. There was the wildest consternation for a short time, but the storm veered off tothe eastand moved on, The only damage was to the plant of the Acme chair _company, which “was totally wrecked. The loss™ will probably reach £10,000. CAPTAIN ——— WETHEREN'S STORY. He Tells How the II-Fated Sea Wing Was Wrecked, 1.
