At Clear Lake the daughter of G. E. RICE was probably fatally hurt by flying boards of the cottage, which was blown to
pieces. There were three distinct cyclones, all coming from the northeast.
Twenty-five lives are reported to have been lost and property damaged to the amount of $500,000 in a tornado which swept
over the southern part of Minnesota, northern Iowa, the southwestern end of Wisconsin and a part of Illinois. Dispatches
tell of death in almost every point were the tornado struck. . . .
Shipping at Clear Lake and many cottages were destroyed.
