_ m <
The Tornado Struck the Southern '
End of Town and Cut a Clean Swath i
100 Yards Wide Through Its Entire
Length.
Marquette, Wis., Special.?When
darkness fell over this stricken city
Tuesday it was known that 26 lives had
been lost in the tornado that wrecked
part of Marquette early and did much
damage in this vicinity. Of the injured
36 were seriously hurt, and some of
.them may die. Several of the others
are suffering from broken limbs and
internal injuries. In several cases enire
families have been killed. A man
named Switzer, a night watchman at
the railroad yards, lost his three children.
N. P. Nelson, with his wife and
three children, were found dead. Two
ather children were not at home and
jscaped injury.
Tuesday night order had practically
ieen brought out of the chaotic condition
that prevailed and a relief com.nittee
had begun dispensing aid.
Among the relief sent from outside
rere 25 pupils from Bethany College,
who acted as nurses.
TRONADO 100 YARDS WIDE.
The tornado struck the southern end
>f the town and cut a clean swath 100
yards in width through its entire
length. Coming as it did at midnight,
ill the people were caught without a 1
moment's warning. A heavy rain storm i
,iad preceded the wind. When daylight ,
broke over the town it found the enlire
population in a state of panic.
Business was entirely suspended and 1
every one who escaped injury turned ,
ais attention toward aiding the
wounded. t 1
The tornado seems to have formed t
three miles south of Marquette and did c
aot spend its force until it had passed ,
many miles north of the town. In Marjuette
the residence portion west of the '
Main street suffered the principal dam- ]
ige. The houses in the course of the ]
tornado were all, with two or three ex- .
:eptions, completely wrecked. In this *
jection there were a number of modern
residences, of which only one was left t
standing. The Swedish Lutheran and 2
Methodist churches were among the c
Irst buildings struck and they, together \
with the parsonage adjoining the Meth- j
bdist church, were demolished. 1
Monday afternoon was hot and op- I
pressive. Late in the evening a terrific 1
rain broke over the town. The rain
rontinued to fall In torrents until midlight,
when the tornado struck. Within
less than five minutes it had wrought
.ts terrible work and passed on. Tele- f
jraph and telephone wires were carried
down and it was several hours "
before those outside could be apprised i
bf the plight of the city. (
It was not until 8 o'clock that physl- .
:ians and surgeons began arriving from
?urrouding towns. In the meantime E
iozens of volunteers set to work to I
rlear away the debris and extricate the
lead and injured. The Swedish Luth?ran
parsonage and several private
residences were turned into temporary I
lospitals. The dead were taken to a c
store room near by. '
NARROW ESCAPES.
Dr. Lund, the Lutheran pastor, c
passed about among the suffering, minstering
to their comfort, while thirty 1
pr forty other persons, working under t
ais direction, cared for the injured at t
Jther points. a
There were many narrow escapes t
from death. The infant daughter of t
Chas. Sailon was lifted in her bed and c
:arried to the middle of the street, re- r
peiving only a few scratches. Sailon c
ind his wife were seriously injured, t
rhe mattress upon which the baby
iaughter of the Rev. Smith lay was
ioubled up in such a manner as to
:over the child and protect it from falling
timbers. In spite of the destruction 1
Df the Smith house, the entire family t
jscaped uninjured. Mr. and Mrs. 0. S 1
Ellvin were carried on their bed a distance
of 500 feet and laid down without 1
being seriously injured. 1
