An Eye Witness.
J. M. Stroud , a son of A. J. Stroud of
our city , is a resident of St. Louis , and
writes the homefolks a letter concern-
ing the recent cyclone which destroyed
more than 500 lives and many millions
of dollars of property. The letter is in
response to a telegram from his people
here. He writes
"I received your telegram yesterday
forenoon and answered at once , but expect -
pect my letter reached you before the
telegram. should have wired you at
once but the wires were down so we had
no communication with the outside .
world. Telegrams came into the city Iso I
sofast that the telegraph companies i
could not deliver them , and a great i
many are being sent by mail , except in
down town business portion of the city.
Since writing you I find the severe. por-
tion of the storm was not in our section ,
but in the southern part of the city ,
though several people were killed within
four or five blocks of our place of busi-
, ness.
The papers now claim that the loss of
life and property was somewhat exag-
gerated , but the awfulness of the storm's
path cannot be pictured. You may hear
the most excitable person tell of the devastation -
vastation and when you see it you realize
that he has not done it justice. The
severe part of the storm was between
Chouteau avenue on the north , the river
on the east , 2,400 south , and 2,800 west ,
and this does not include hundreds of
unroofed houses and others entirely des-
troyed outside of this district. The
above district embraces 392 blocks and
a street distance of 27 miles. And in
that territory I don't think there is one
undamaged house. ] There was a park
in that section , but not a tree is now
standing. Some of the finest three-story
stone mansions have been blown dcwn
to the foundations.
We had another scare yesterday. Po
licemen notified residents on their beats
to look out for a cyclone that afternoon
or night. The symptoms were most
alarming , but happily the clouds dissipated -
sipated and the overwrought people
were relieved" .
