Fatalities of the Colesburg Cyclone.
Manchester Press:—One more death has been reported from the cyclone district at Colesburg since the last issue of this paper, Harley Sheppard, another member of the Sheppard family, having died from the injuries received in the storm. The boy died last Friday, making three members of one family whose lives were lost as a result of the tornado. Mrs. Sheppard is still alive, but is in a highly critical condition and it does not seem possible that she can survive. It is said that the injuries sustained by Emily Ridenour were found to be much more severe than was at first supposed and she is also numbered, among those whose recovery is somewhat doubtful.
