Vol. XXII, NO. 21


           (following an article about the cylcone in Racine, WI.)
           - The cyclone struck portions of the township of Elbridge and
        Crystal, this county, about six o'clock Friday, causing great
        damage to property lying in its track. At. Mr. B. MOOR'S mill
        buildings were unroofed, the smoke stack blown down, and one
        building leveled to the ground. At Beanville, in Crystal,
        NICKERSON & COLLISTER'S mill was partially unroofed. Houses
        twisted on their foundations and seven unroofed; Mr. MAGAHN'S
        picked up and carried a number of rods, striking the ground
        and entirely demolishing it. Mr. MAGAHN, wife and child were
        in the house when the storm burst upon them. He saw the clouds
        coming down with that peculiar, twisting motion noticed in
        cyclones and tried to get his family into the cellar, but was
        too late, and the next he knew he was lying upon the ground,
        his wife and child sitting near him uninjured. Messrs. SANDS
        & MAXWELL had a valuable tract of pine lumber, estimated worth
        $10,000, which was greatly damaged. Acres of timber, variously
        estimated from forty to over 100 were completely leveled,
        scarcely a tree being left standing.

           Last Friday, Beantown, Crystal township, Oceana county, had
        a cyclone after the most approved fashion of other climes. Several
        houses were unroofed, and an eye witness says that saw logs were
        picked up on the mill yard, hurled through the air and tossed
        about in a lively, and to the beholder, fearful manner. Houses
        were blown down, but no loss of life or serious injuries were
        sustained.
