Breoial to The Journal.
Windom, Minn., July 2.The tornado
on Tuesday night passed over a portion
of the southern part of Cottonwood
county. The damage started about fifteen
miles west of Windom, near the county
lihe, and continued east to within three
miles of this city, where the storm seems
to have- spent its fury, or lifted into air
and settled again some three miles east,

where the buildings of Fred Gibson were
destroyed, but aside from chickens noth
ing was killed there. The barn of E.
S. Streeter, in Springfield town, was de
stroyed and some cattle and horses killed
but the people escaped.
Coming east on the, same section,
about a half mile the bridge over the Des
Moines river on the county line was de
stroyed, and then the buildings on what
is known as the Kendall farm, now
owned by Dr. Westerman, and built by the
late Horace Thompson of St. Paul, cost
ing at the time of construction $30,000
or $40,000, were entirely demolished and
nothing remains but pieces of broken
lumber and debris. There were several
very large barns, granaries, machine
sheds, etc., there.
The Westermans were in the house at
the time, and seeing the storm approach
ing sought safety in the cellar, and had
just located there when the building was
taken from above them. All of the house
is gone except the- floor, which was par
tially carried away, but enough remained
on the foundation to afford shelter from
the rain.
All But an Engine Destroyed.
Here several people, including Dr. West-
59c
erman and his family, remained thru the
storm. The threshing machine was
standing near the engine and was en
tirely destroyed, the engine being the only
thing left intact on the premises.

From here the storm continued east
about three miles, carrying away crops,
fences, etc., until it struck the home of
Daniel Gallagher, situbted on the high
banks of String lake. At the southwest
and north of the house were immense
trees planted by Gallagher thirty-three
years ago, and east and south along the
banks of the lake was a natural forest of
oak and box alder trees, in the midst of
this surrounding the home was situated,
and now it lies scattered for several miles
to the east, as well as In the lake and on
the hillside.
The roof of the house was carried ftcross
the lake and deposited in the trees. The
floor was moved off the foundation, and
remains there intact, while every other
part t of the house is strung everywhere.
Dishes, spoons, silverware, and such
household utensils are lying on the ground
for many rods, while clothing, bedding,
etc., were carried into trees and scat
tered in all directions.
The Journal correspondent saw a piece
of clothing a mile east of the home, as

All of the Household Killed.
Daniel I Gallagher and two daughters,
Ellen and eNttie, lived together in the
home, where the young ladies kept house
for their father, a man about 70 years
of. age. /They were upwards of 2,0 years
old. Nobody lives to tell the story.
JBody Carried Ten Rods.
The aead body of Nettle was found
about ten rods from the house on the side
hill toward the lake, denuded of cloth
ing except part of a corset, shoes and
stockings. Her arms and legs were
broken and her head was lying In a hole
at the! roots of a great tree that had been
uproojed by the storm.
Mr./Crowell, who lives east a mile, lost
some/horses and his barn. He was out of
doom and looking toward Gallagher's,
saw J that everything was being swept
awaf. Mounting a horse that was tied
at the fence, he went to the scene, find
ing/the dead girl as stated. Unable to
canfy her to a place of safety he called
for /help, not daring to leave the body
there alone with hogs that had been re
leased from the pen by the wind.
He covered the body with boards and
sought help. Some distance away he at
tracted men who were passing and with
their help the body was taken to Laugh
rn's, around the lake, and messengers
' spatched for help. No trace of the old
'entleman or his daughter Ellen could
e found.
Horses, cows and hogs were lying dead
.11 over the premises and particularly on
* e side hill toward the lake. It was now
'dark and search was useless, tho kept
up thru the night.
, Bodies In the Lake. ::/
At daylight yesterday morning hundreds
of people were at the scene,and a system
atic search was begun for the bodies in
the lake. Large, numbers of men went
into the water taking hold of hands and
patroling the lake as far out as they could
reach without floating. Several such
squad 3 worked for hours and about 10
o'clock the body of Gallagher was found
perhaps 150 feet from the shore. Hi3
clothing was about all torn from his body.
Search was continued for Ellen and soon
she was. found about the same distance
from the shore. .Both were taken to the
home of Barney Laughren, a son-in-law
of Gallagher.
Great trees were uprooted and the bark
entirely peeled off of others and the Gal
lagher grove presents- an appearance of
destruction by fire more than by wind.
Gallagher's barn was destroyed and the
earth swept so clean that one not familiar
with the premises would hardly be able to
tell where it stood.
A large manure fork was driven thru
a six-inch oak tree.
Head of Cow Twisted Off.'*
One cow had her head twisted off half
way down the neck. A row of large Cot
tonwood trees several rods in length was
cut off five or six feet from the ground
and the stumps peeled of the bark. Most,
of the trees on the side hill next the lake"
were uprooted and peeled, and for miles
east pieces of boards stick up in the
ground as tho driven there by a maul.
A photograph with Miss Nettie's name
written on the back was found two miles
east. The spectacles of one of the girls
were found near the lake shore on a little
point of land, with one lens gone, and
a piece of window sash, thought to belong
to the house, was picked up here in the
city this morning.
The trees looked as tho the wind blew
from every direction, the place evidently
being in the center of a whirlwind, in
dicating, a screw-shaped current of air
rather than a direct wind. The storm
could not. have been more than, twenty or
thirty rods wide. Wilder, a mile south,
waa untouched, Laughren a few rods
north of the line of the storm, was not
harmed and hardly felt the wind. Twenty
rods south of the buildings the trees show
no indications of the ?storm aside from,
a few broken limbs.

Two Tornadoes. ,\
After.Crowell's buildings were destroyed
nothing was injured until Fred Gibson's
was reached, three miles east of Windom.
This damage was evidently done by an
other tornado, for one was seen to form
near the railroad bridge in Windom and
pass east, taking with it apparently a
volume of-water from the river. A few
rods east of this formation some build
ings on the Redding farm were injured
and then Gibson's, two.miles away. -
