2. Tornado, Berkley to Wellsburg. 



Great destruction attended another tornado on this eventful day, due 

 to the fact that it passed through the southeast portion of the town of 

 Boone where among other things it demolished the shops of the Chicago 

 and Northwestern Railway. This storm originated a few miles northeast 

 of Berkley in Marcy township, Boone county, about 3:45 p. m. It pur- 

 sued a somewhat sinuous course in a general northeasterly direction. 

 (See storm track No. VI, on chart, page 37.) In passing through Marcy 

 and Worth township, 12 persons were injured and $21,230 worth of 

 property lost. The storm then turned northward toward Boone, then 

 eastward as it struck the southeast portion of the town, then northeast- 

 ward again. Inside the city limits of Boone 9 people were killed and 55 

 injured. Those killed were: 



James Bills 

 Charles Kilborn 

 Mrs. Frank (Frenchie) Roberts 

 Earnest Lindquist 

 Albert Daniels 

 Mrs. Albert Daniels. 

 Mikie Knezivik 

 Severed Larson 

 Nic Karasiles. 



The property damage was conservatively placed at $500,000. 

 Mr. A. E. Reid of Boone, kindly furnished the following notes of his 

 observation of the storm: 



I stood at Ninth and Story streets looking- directly south on Story and 

 first noticed a large wind cloud very low and moving rapidly east; higher 

 up and to the north of this cloud were other apparent wind clouds moving- 

 rapidly -west, and between these other clouds were describing a compara- 

 tively slow circular movement. This was the only sign I actually observed 

 of any whirl. Being informed by a train dispatcher that a tornado was 

 bound our way from towards Moingona. I realized for the first time what I 

 was looking- at. I then went to my office on the second floor of the North- 

 western freight house and we watched the storm from the south windows 

 as it moved northeastward. By this time the clouds were very dense and 

 rushing apparently right on the ground and there was a continuous roar
