Terrific Twister at Eikhorn.

Elkhorn, Neb., May 13. —A cyclone swept this region Tuesday. A funnelshaped cloud shot down from the storm center and a general stampede of citizens for cellars and caves ensued. At the school house the children fled pan-ic-striken to the furnace room, and several of them were hurt. The cyclone struck the ground north of the town. Its course was northwest. The path of the storm was from 200 to 300 yards wide, and everything hi this path was razed to the ground, including several houses.
