Bureau County farmers gather cyclone curios from their fields and roadways. The first violent blast struck Mendota, toppling houses and killing five. A later gust felled a circus tent and killed a pioneer scout. Items blown across the county include a wedding skirt, a tree limb, a doorway frame, lumber, and blown checks from Princeton. The assemblage forms a strange countywide museum of wreckage.
