Austin, Minn., Sept. 22—At 10:30 last
night the village of Leroy was visited
by a mighty wind storm, developing
the genuine oyolonio features. A por-
tion of the business section of the vil-
lage was totally wrecked. The temp-
est swept up from the southwest in a
nortbeastly direction. Houses, ele
vators, end store buildings were as
chaff before Its resistless power. The
loss of life Is small, owing to the fact
that the residence portion was largely
spared, but barns were blown away,
oattle killed, shade trees uprooted,and
the scene this morning is one of
wreck end rain.
The revolving oload first straok the
Milwaukee depot,entirely demolishing
It. only part of one side being left.
Then it took three elevators and three
flax warehouses on the Milwaukee
track, demolishing them and exposing

ing, as if struck by a mighty blow from

store with general merchandise, was
destroyed. Harry Cotton’s new reel
denoe was demolished. The opera
house wae next In the path of destrno
tlon. About thirty oouples were en-
joying a danoe there when the whole
building collapsed upon them. Two
dead bodies, those of young Finley ant
Albertson have been taken oat. Others
were tojared end braised, bat prob
ably not seriously. W. W. Sweet’s
house was wreoked but Sweet and his
wife weie away. J. L. Wyohoff’s rest
denoe was blown away. The family
were on their way into the cellar when
the oyolone straok them and they es
oaped without injury. R
G. Yoang’s house was de-
stroyed, but the family took to the
cellar and escaped. The new Baptist

covered In Potter & Brown’s store.
This building was Ailed with a new
etook whtoh was totally consumed.
The Are oommunioated to Smart A
Butler’s hardware store and this was
also burned. The Caswell hotel was
burned, the bare brick walls alone tel-
ling of the disaster. The strenuous
efforts of the oltizeus saved the town
from farther ravages by fire.
The wind fortunately spared the
residence portion of the village almost
entirely, or the list of killed and
wounded mast have been heart rend
log. The loss Is estimated at about
$45,000. The storm had the usual
peouliar focus of a oyolone. One
building would be demolished while
