McCloud, who lives on the Poole farm In Barkley township, was in town this morning. He was in the wake of the cyclone if it had kept to the ground but fortunately it went over his head. Particles of clothing, small boards and splinters were dumped down about his house, however, although he is three miles from where the, last house was blown down. Otto Braun, the bandmaster, came down from Lowell today. He'says that from 50 to 75 barns were destroyed in the vicinity of Lowell, besides innumerable small buildings. There is nothing left on his place but the house. A big barn and chicken house have disappeared completely and part of his orchard was uprooted and carried away. He believes that the presence of the orchard was all that saved his house. Sveral good farm houses, including the SIO,OOO Plummer residence, and the surrounding buildings, were destroyed.
