hlg storm devastated. Is entirely cut off from
communication , the wlre.s only working to
Aurella , the llrsl station from Cherokee. All
the bridges across the Llttlo Sioux at Cherokee -
koo nro gone , together with the railroad
trucks nnd wires. Later reports of the storm
Indicate that It was worse than at first re
ported ,
The courier Just arrived from Clierokeo
f iJivcs the Information that 100 houses nt
Oherokuo were washed away. No further
loss of life Is reported there beyond the four
persons drowned as reported yesterday , It
Is impossible to learn their name * or how
they met their fate. Everything Is In the
wildest confusion ,
The same is true at Corroctlonvillo and no
word by telegraph can bo received from there
until communication Is established at Chero
kee. It Is now known that six persons met
their death in the country round about Cor-
rectlonvlllo and the number by later reports
Is Increased to eight. Houses , barns and out
houses floated in the Little Sioux past Cherokee -
keo all day. It is presumed they came from
fcouthorland.
No loss of llfo Is reported from upthccoun-
try. Aurella reports from two to four fcetof
water In the streets there. Cellars are
flooded and thousands of dollars worth of
danmgo have been dono.
At Storm Lake the merchants are unable
to get into their stores on account of
_ Jie water. All passenger and freight
"Ttranie west of Aurelia Is
abandoned. The railroad brldgo at Clierokeo
Is lodged In the river half a mlle below town.
Material is being moved rapidly by the rail
road company to repair the datnaro.

CHICAGO , Juno 25. Advlcos received nt
the headquarters of the Chicago & North
western railroad in this city this morning In-
dlcito : that , the destruction by the cloudburst
In northwestern Iowa Is moro widespread
than the dispatches received yesterday sug
gest. From the damage to its line actually
reported It appears that the deluge covers at
least portions of thu counties of Sioux ,
O'Brien , Clay , Plymouth , Cherokee , Buena
Vista , Woodbiiry , Ida , Sac , Moiiona , Craw
ford , Carroll , Harrison and Shelby ,
covering a territory three counties In width
nlong the western border of the state and
five counties in length , beginning within ono
vV tlorof counties from the northern boundary
- \MLtho stuto and extending southward.
Wttii telegraph lines In this territory ore
greatly'de-moralized and It is next to Impossi
ble to got accurate or detailed information
touching the gonorul losses nnd casualties.
This territory Is dotted with villages and
covered with cultivated farms , nnd the
worst Is feared in the way of damage
and porslblo loss of lifo along the water
courses which traverse this great section of
the stato.
Several of the general officers of the North-
'western road loft for the scouo last night
and are making strenuous efforts to penetrate
Into the devastated region. Their reports to
headquarters give only the result of their
observations In regard to the damage to Iho
property of the company , leaving that to
adjacent counties to t.o Inferred. These
reports show that the main line road of the
Northern Iowa division is demolished from
Linn Grove to Alton , a distance of forty
miles , that the Wovlllo branch , from Wo-
jV JJlo to Schallor , a distance of forty-llvo
-ihlles , Is In the snmo condition. The Onawn
branch , from Onawa to Ida Grove , fifty
miles , is equally bad off. Tracks to an aggre
gate longtn of 115 miles nro entirely blocked
by the carrying away of bridges and the
washing out of roadbeds. All traffic this
aldo and beyond the points named Is being
covered by round-about llno.s. On the main
line from Linn Grove to Alton thu bt-ldzo
over Waterman creek , with its trobtle 2SO
feet long , was carried away , and ten other
bridges , llvo each way from Waterman
creek , have been rendered useless by under
mining or partially carried away. Ono
bridge 11)0 ) feet long near Paulina Is gone ,
together with two smaller ones. The tr.ick is
V101' ' ' away in many places. At Water-
' nmiVvrcok the track and lies have boon car
ried a quarter of n mlle from the roadbed.
It is Impassible to learn much lu regard to
11m condition of affairs on the Movlllo
brunch , Tno wires nro down and the waters
nro mill so high that U is Impossible ns yet to
muko an Inspection of the lino. The officials
hero fear the worst. The sumo condition
prevails on the line between Ida Grove and
Onawa. No reports are In from that section ,
which Indicates that great d.imago has prob
ably been dono. It Is reported from Galva
that the bridge over Maple river Is badly
washed out.
At the present time It l.s Impossible to cs-
tlmato thu damage to railroad property In
that territory , but enough U known to show
it will bo very heavy. The section of coun
try wnnro the flood was most severe Is tra
versed by numerous brunches , not only of
the Northwestern , but also of the Illinois
Central , Milwaukee & St , Paul nnd the main
line of the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis &
Omaha roads. No reports of damage to these
lines have been received except from the
Illinois Central , whoso lines from Cherokee
to Oimwu , which run along the Sioux river ,
nro blockaded , and the general officer * who
It'll hero last night nro not yet
nblo to got across the swollen
. ' river to Cherokee. The wires nro all uown
nnd nothing can bo learned ns to the state nt
affairs on the wc.st sldo of the river. Tha
officials fear the worst , not only ns to the line
from Clierokeo to Onuwa , but uUo from
Clio roll co to Sioux Falls.
Tlio Northwestern management has a re
pair crow und half n doicn pllo drivers nt
each end of the breaks on Us line ready to

IlewlHted Three Cyclones.
PAI.MHH , Nob. , Jnuo 25. [ Special Telegram
to TUB BKI : . ] Yesterday afternoon the
atmosphere became very clo30 , with rapidly
fulling barometer and small thunder clouds ,
forming In the south , nnd In advnuco of the
fulling rain , was soon a whirling body of
black dust which extended probably a hun
dred feet high , and immediately ubovo the
dust was scon a funnel shaped cloud , which
alternately rose and fell. The dust und cloud
met , nttcr which the cyclone passed
majestically off n mile east of town , carefully
avoiding all stock nnd all buildings and spent
Itself without doing any damage , about three
miles away. The sight was awful
and grand in the extreme. A
smaller whirlwind , without any funnel
shaped cloud . .attached , passed through
Palmer , but struck only a stable and few
outhouses , completely grinding them to
powder and blowing shingles , boards and
chickens high In the nir. It then struck n
vacant house nnd threw it oft lt foundation ,
but did no other damago. A third cyclone ,
wlUi funnel attachment , smaller than the
first , but larger than the second one , passed
through the west of Palmer , uprooting trees
and demolishing crops north of town. Passing
on north , It struclf the Loup river and
sucked up water from the river Into
the clouds , and ns the sun was
shining brisrhtly nt the time , the
sight was extremely beautiful. Aside from
the few small buildings demolished there was
no damago. They worj all within a track u
mile wide. None of them were ever a hun
dred feet wide. All three passed over the
ground very slowly , caused a very loud roarIng -
Ing noise and were In sight at tho' same time.
Ruin followed very soon after and during the
night was very heavy. Lightning was very
sharp nnd close , hut only stunned ono boy ,
who is all right today.
Toi'CKA , Kan. , June 25. About 4 o'cloclt
this morning the heaviest rain storm of the
season set In at this point , nnd It continued
almost until noon. Imports along the rail
road lines indicate that the storm is general
only In the eastern third of the stato. Both
thu Santa Fo and Union Paclfio roads are
washed out between here nnd Lawrence , nnd
all west bound trains are held at Lawrence
waiting until the track can bo repaired.
Washouts have also occurred at Williamstown
on the Union Pacific and Leampton on the
Santa Fe.
The damage to crops will bo great ns the
harvest Is in full blast la eastern und south

YoliK , Nob. , Juno 25. ( Special Telegram
to Tin : BEE.J The west bound freight train
No. 45 , cnglno No. HKt , which passes through
York at I a. m. , was wrecked three miles
weal of hero this morning. The engineer ,
L. II. Delaiicy , and houd br.ikeman , W. II.
Moore , were Instantly killed , and the fire
man , O , J. Bean , mortally wounded , The
conductor , B. J. Unnoy , nnd rear bralccman ,
A. Matlhows , escaped unhurt , The engine ,
tender nnd fifteen cars were piled in n heap.
The remain Ing seven caw and caboose re
mained on the track.
The scene of the wreck was a 200 foot fill
In the toad , about twenty-fivo feet deep. A
small culvert thrco feet trjimro had
always been sufficient to past ) the
water at that point heretofore , but
last night the continuous heavy rain had tllle.d
the ruvir.o ubovo and the little culvert was
insufficient. Had there been n twenty foot
brldgo at this place the disaster would
not have occurred. The ravine filled with
water , the fill In tbo track noting as a dam
until the slayod torrent was as high us the
track. This is easily shown from the masses
of rubbish loft by the flood hltth oa the banks
on either hide. Gradually it nndormincd the
track until It was shaky and Insecure , and
the final break , when the mighty torrent
gathered strength to carry away about fifty
feet of track , occurred Just at the time iho
train arrived.
The section crow from Bradshaw , the next
station west had become alarmed about the
steady downpour and had starled ever their
trade in the night to Invcsllgalo. The scone
of the wreck was not on their division , but
they knew the train wa * coming and
came on to meet it. Had they been
three minutes earlier the accident
would not have happened ; As it was
they were just In time to sea the powerful
engine , running twenty-live miles nn hour ,
leap forty feet across the chasm and bury
Itself in the bank on the opposite side , while
fifteen freight cars followed It , some of them
bounding fifty foot further on and the re-
mulnacr piling ubovo and around in a shiv
ered mass.
They reached the wreck and heard n volco
from its midst. Searching around in the
gray light of the morning they founa : ho
fireman silting in Iho midst of the splintered
debris and half covered with water. One
foot was crushed completely off below the
knee , his body was bruised and his head
wounded. The heroic follow was pae ( ns
death , for the arterial | blood had
been pouring from - . ! jis shattered
limb. This ho had stopped himself
before ho was found , bv tnkiufejpff his blouse
und wrapping it around his lejjf and twisting
u surgeon's knot over the Hftrlos. Ho had
then dragged himself out of the narrowliolo
in which ho was wcdgea.
"Coys , give mo some clothes , " ho as > ked ,
"I am pold. " Ho had narrowly escaped
drowning , for the heavy train had com
pletely finished the break In the trac * ,
nnd the only thing tnat saved him wus one of
the cars that the torrent had to sweep
around , and which warded it off. Not much
could bo done lor the poor fellow In the midst
of the heavy rain nnd the roaring waters but
everything that could bo was'dono , and later
ho was taken into York on a hand-cur.
At 10 o'clock the citizens , who had located
the engine , secured tools and set to work to
find the two men who were burled bolow. It
was hard work , as the bottom , sides and ends
of the heavy freight cui-3 , the bent , broken
and twisted iron of all sizes , machinery , gro
ceries , binding twine , railroad ties and all the
promiscuous articles ot freight wore piled
nnd wedged ns tight as the terrillu force
could drive them. At last they found bravo
Delaney , the engineer. Ho had stayed with
his engine and was cru iind beyond tbo re
semblance of humanity. His body was com
pletely cut in twain. His head was almost
unhurt as were his lower limbs , bpt the two
were lying In different places. Ho had
died at his post of duty nnd
died Instantly. Later , the body of
Moore was found near the cab , which had
been thrown sideways on the tender. Ho was
lying wedged in where ho ht d boon thrown
by the chock. Although ho was not crushed ,
ho had no doubt been Instantlv killed.
To the right of the center of the pllo of cars
lay two cars ucroas the telegraph wlro. The
tremendous force may bo imagined as it
had power to ralso the llratof these cars high
enough in the air to bring tl.o wires down
under itTho under car was broken
to slivers , the other oiio was lying on top
of it and in It was n man and horse , and ,
strnngo. to say , In all the rolling over and
concussion neither of them were scratched or
bruised. They were both prisoners. Some
one chopped an opening for the man , and the
horse was released about noon , when ho
trotted off up the hill as if it were a holiday
tillalr.
Sheriff Sbrcck placed cuatds around the
train to provcnt potty thefts and n coroner's
jury was sworn In to Investigate the circum
stances surrounding the death of the train
men. The evidence produced showed that
the section men on whoso heat the wreck
occurred had been over all their track be
tween the hour when the 11 o'clock passen
ger passed through and the time when the
freight was duo and they bad started out
again after thu freight , und had nearly
reached the place when they were met by

pluco nn entirely new phase on the killing of

Hugoton Tuesday. The friends nf Colonel
Wood have written that ho was assassinated
nnd dcclaro that the reports sent out by the
correspondents were previously .submitted to
the faction to which the mu-doror belonged
and approved. Tlio uunt cotnpletn detail of
the killing is given in a letter written to A.
N. Mackoy of this city , law partner of tha
murdered man. Mitckcy refused to give the
name of Ills correspondent , as ho feared ha
would be violently dealt with ,
Tlu writer declares that there wai
a conspiracy among the friends of
Thoodosins hodklu , judge of that dis
trict , whom Wood hud caused to bo im
peached , to kill him. Whllo Wood was in
the court room , Itrennan talked pleasantly
with Mrs. Wood , who was waiting In a
buirgy for her husband. As soon as Wood
came out of tlm court house Brennau shot
him In the shoulder. Wood ran and Bronnuu
shot him In the back of the head. Stilt
Wood uid not fall , but turned around and
iSreiinan shet him nndor thu right eye. The
letter further says : "Everything points to
premeditation on the part of Brennan , as ha
stood Hherltr Cann off and surrendered only
to the sheriffs of Staiiton and Morton
counties who had been In town all night by
an arrangement with somebody. "
When the letter was received Mr.
Muckoy visited the governor and
Insisted on the attorney general bcluff
seat to Stevens county to prosecute the case.
William O'Connor , the county attorney of
Slovens , whoso duty it is to prosecute the
case , was an enemy of Woods , the hitter hav
ing instituted proceedings contesting his
election. Mackoy also insisted that n judge
from unothor district be called la to try the
case. It has been inpo < slblo to get iinv re
liable news from Stevens county until today.
The telegraph operators near the town of
Hugoton refused to make any reports what
ever , and the newspaper reports had to bo
submitted before tlioy xvero sent out. All
