KANSAS CJIV, MO., April 4.—As the telegraph service is being reestablished through the storm-swept district of Kansas many strange stories are bi'infi lirtjufflit in about tho freaks of the wind winch caused so inneli devast at ion all over the western part of tho state. The list of dead and injured is Increased with every now report received and it ifi now estimated that the list of fatalities will reach sixty within the state border, while three are reported lulled at Oklahoma.

Tlio Ileal li Hull.

The following is the estimate placed on the dead aud wounded as near as it can be ascertained at this time: South Haven, eight dead and thirtv-two injured Wellington, four dead and twen-ty-three injured on farms between these two towns, live dead and liino injured Luwunda, seventeen dead and forty-live wounded: Augusta, seven death anil nineteen injured Homestead, live dead ami seven injured Strong City, two dead ami eight wounded SaI urn. fifteen injured, three fatally. '1 hesc towns are the only ones from which anything like a definite report has been obtained, but from meager report* received the dead at other places will make up the estimate of sixty, as stated above.

In most instances those who were killed died instantly from being struck by flying debris, and in oulv three or four -cases were the deaths lingering. The hundreds who were injured have principally broken limbs and severe contusions. In very few eases will the injuries prow* fatal, although inanv victims were compelled to lie all night in the soaking rain which followed the storm.

Fury ul the Sturm,

I lie storm was a hurricane with tornado tendency. While the hurricane was blowIng at a fearful rate tornadoes wouid form diiectly in the path of the storm and rage for a short distance. tearing down everything in their way, ami, then they would scatter ami the broad sweep if the gale would continue with unabated fury. It was these tornadoes which caused the greatest destruction uf property and los* of life. As long as the straight wind blew tint people had little to fear. but it was the terrible twister which earned the houses from their 'foundations and scattered wreck and ruin along the route of the storm. The damage done by the hurricane wjis to weak buildings and fruit trees, while, the tornadoes destroyed large dwellings and human life. siimp Slran^c l'-rc tk«*. r.ulU-r and Ureeiiwood counties appear to have been the worst victims, lis they wore tu the immediate canter of the low atmospheric pressure. From these countioo come tho storle* of the wind's fantastic work. A son of William Eggers, in Uutlor county, was taken from his father's, arms bv the force of tlie wind and dashed against a tree in front of the horrified parents, while the father barely felt tho force of the wind.

William Connors and .lames Morton were driving in

light wagon when the

storm approached them, and they whipped their horses into a run to escape. Conners jumped out and ran to the head of the team, when a tornado struck tlicm. The wagon with Morton were blown away and lie was killed. The horses and Conners were unhurt, ami he says he did not feel the wind at all.

James Wilson, in Greenwood county, was caught tip by the tornado, carried through the air and forced against the side of a barq, where a scantling was run through his body. He was pinned to the bnrn S feet from the ground and died in horrible agony.

A schoolhotise standing In the path of the storm near Augusta was carried away almost intact. The building was torn from the floor, which was left standing. On the floor the tables, books and other school supplies were left entirely undisturbed.

The house of William Kiee in Towanda was not only taken away, but even the foundation stones were blown out of the ground and the place smoothed over as if there had never been a liousw thi re.

At Haven River a cow was lifted from the ground and carried to the top of a house and doposited on an angle of the roof so that she could not fall, and it was necessary to kill her to get her from her position.

Sumner County He lit I'd. N'Kl.MNOTOJf, Kan., April 4.—The cyclone and waterspout which passed through Sumner county Thursday night was the most destructive iu the history of Kansas. The roaring of the wind was heard for miles. Starting at a point eighteen miles southeast of this city, it cut a path of rniu and desolation twenty miles long and one-fourth to one-hali a mile wide. Nothing was spared and everything above ground was literally torn to pieces. Trees were torn up by the roots and buildings, live stock and fences were picked up and carried long distances. Over thirty farmhouses were blown to pieces besides innumerable barns and outbuildings.

At Dalton, S miles west of this city,' the storm was fiercest. The house of William Little was crushed, he and his four children killed and his wife badly injured. Near by, Samuel llutterworth's house collapsed and he aud' four members of the family were carried 300 yards and dropped into an orchard. His hip was crushed and his leg broken. Mis daughter was caught in the timbers of the house bul

escaped with ilight Injuries. There wore thirteen persons in Joo Showalter's house when it was struck and all were injured. Showalter had a leg broken and other injuries. Mr. Maple and his son, of Portland, were badly injured by tho wrecking of their house and tho father will die. About fifty persons in all were Injured ami as yet it is impossible to make any estimate of the damage to property.

Many Dead at Wante^o.

WAMKGO, Kan., April 1.—Friday's windstorm passed from the smith to the north about miles east of Wamego, nnd five deaths are so far reported, while one other person, Charles Fowler, will not live. The deaths are Mrs. Albert loggers and two child en, Joseph Johnson and a child of Charles Taylor.

OMAHA, Neb., April 4.—Thirty of the best residences in the town were completely destroyed by Thursday night's cyclone. Almost every house in the. north and west part of tho town is more or less damaged, and almost every store iu the business portion sustained fsotiio injury. The damages arc SUHI.UOO and probably more. There was not any tornado insurance.

The cyclone crossed the Kansas line at or near Uostwiek, this count}'. Much damage is reported done at Uostwiek. The path of the storm is one-half mile wide. Most of the farm houses in its path from Uostwiek are leveled to the ground. As yet it is impossible to obtain accurate news. The houses of Anderson Rose, Abe Stape. llrierby and others southwest of Nelson, also the outbuildings, were leveled to the ground. Several persons arc reported injured in the country and two killed This is not verified.

Tlio causc of the duel dates back about two years. At that time Kirk was engaged to Miss Nelly Hill. The engagement was broken because of alleged slanders circulated against him by 'I'obe I'owell. Kirk then proposed and was accepted by Mrs. Theig. a wealthy widow. lie claims that Mcliowau revived the old charges against him in order to break this engagement and ingratiate himself with the widow.

AKRON, O., April 4.—-The fact that A. T. Paige transferred his interest in the Paige block to the Citizens7 Savings and Loan association, caused a heavy run on that hank Friday. It was sturtod by tcn farmers from Monroe Falls who had heard that the bank had gone to pieces. The report was without the slightest truth, but it was enough to alarm small depositors, who appeared in force on Friday afternoon. The crowd was increased, and the bank oflicials, for lack of currency, decided to suspend payment on interest-bearing deposits for thirty days. Other banks are not affected.

The flames ran high and iu an almost, incredibly time and

Suddenly a small flame was seen to leap skyward from a corner of the Independence press. ina second almost the entire square was ablaze and the flames formed a solid block of lire. Ill the yard were stored some 1 Mtixi bales. This proved excellent fnel for the flames. and in a little time it was consumed. At leni'ih four rows of charred walls were ail that stood to remind one that a large building had once occupied the site. There was no chance to save any of the eotton, as the work of destruction was very rapid. For some time the men worlted on these flames, and when it became apparent that none of the bales of cotton could be saved they devoted their attention to the surrounding structure.

The walls of the different burned presses fell within a. short time of each other. The district burned over is bounded by Peters, Front. Thalia and Hokin streets, and the presses destroyed were the Fire Proof, Penrose Urns., managers the Shippers, lloyd A. llcrrlek, proprietors the Independence cotton yard, tho Orleans cotton press, Adam r.orieh, manager.

The total amount, of cotton burned, as near as can now be ascertained, is estimated at 80,000 bales held by factors and commission merchants and covered by their open policies. Much of this cotton will be sent to the pickeries and saved, so that the total loss will probably not exceed S30 a bale, making the total on cotton between Svi.ooo.ooo and 82,850,000. Loss on presses and sheds estimated at 5150,000. It, is thought the fire started from a cigarette which some person threw among the cotton. llrlvi'il from Their llmm-M.

For three blocks around the burning presses the residents moved out their furniture for fear that the fire would spread to thSir homes. Men, women and children were seen running to and I fro with pieces at furniture or other property which they wished to save from the devouring clement.

Firemen Hurt.

While the firemen were working on the flre-proof press at the corner of Terpsichore and Peters streets tlte walls came tumbling down nnd.to the horror of the already-excited crowd three men were seen faHing under file mass. Shortly the unfortunate firemen were taken from the ruins moaning and crying with poin.
