SWEPT BY THE STORM HUNDREDS KILLED IN A WISCONSIN WIS-CONSIN CYCLONE. Town AlmoKt Wiped Out of Existence, the .Number of Killed ana Wounded Being Placed at 250 Fire Breaks Out In Debris. Minneapolis, Minn., June 14. The town of New Richmond was almost wiped out of existence Monday night by one of the most severe cyclones that ever visited that locality. The number of killed and injured will probably reach 250. The news of the disaster was brought here by J. A. Carroll, a traveling man from Portage, Wis., who was stopping at the Nicollet house in New Richmond Rich-mond when the cyclone struck. He saw the funnel-shaped cloud as it came up the principal street and took refuge in the basement of the hotel, which was completely wrecked, tog-ether with every other business house in the city. Mr. Carroll further says that fire followed fol-lowed the cyclone and what was left is being consumed by fire. Man3r people peo-ple are doubtless killed and the damage will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. Relief is being sent to the scene of the disaster as rapidly as possible, but owing to the fact that the railroad track is washed out in many places, succor is arriving slowly. Many have driven overland and ever3Tthing possi" ble is being done for the sufferers. A courier from Boardman just in reports re-ports that the whole town has been wiped off the face of the earth, and while no definite news can be obtained at this time of the casualties it is presumed pre-sumed that many were injured and possibly some killed. It is known that Dave llefferon is severely injured and his wife killed. At La Cros.se, Wis., nearly five inches of rain fell.

In One Small Village Thirty Persons Die of Hunger. Victoria, B. C, June 13. The Indians In-dians living in the neighborhood of the upper waters of the Stewart river are in a most deplorable condition. A terrible famine prevails in that district, dis-trict, and the unfortunate natives have already been decimated for lack of food. Conditions have been growing rapidly worse in this respect, and three miners who have just retnrned from that country say that the pitiful scenes enacted among the starving Indians beggar description. They are now almost al-most entirely without food of any kind and are literally perishing in great numbers. So hopeless is the situation that in a single, small Indian village no less than thirty persons died from hunger just previous to the departure of the prospectors for this port. The miners also tell a shocking story of the killing of an Indian girl by a medicine man at the Instance of the chief of the tribe to which the unfortunate unfor-tunate maiden belonged. According to the story the maiden was made the victim of a savage ceremony directed by the medicine man, under the orders of the chief. Her barbarovis death was for the purpose of propitating the Great Spirit who had sent the famine, by the offering up of a living human sacrifice. COLONY OF OLD SOLDIERS.
