The stage from Yankton to Firesteel was entering Mitchell just as the storm struck the place, and was roughly handled, being tipped over aud the top considerably jammed and battered. But the stage ,n which left Firesteel yesterday morning sw aud reached Yank ton last evening brought J*1 uo particulars of the storm, and the driver, who, however, only came from rr‘ Milltown, only knew that a storm had occurred aud four lives were reported lost and several buildings demolished. The stage leaves Firesteel, three miles east of Mitchell, at three o'clock in the morning and does not pass through lir* Mitchell on the down trip, which accounts for our nut receiving any account from the scene of the devastation by yesterday’s stage.The telegraph line between Canton and Mitchell has not been in working order since the occurrence of the storm, therefore we have been unable to receive anything by telegraph. The operator at Canton reported that the bodies of two men, killed in the storm, passed east on the train this morning, but was unable to give their names or any further particulars of the disaster than that it was reported that four lives were lost and nine buildings destroyed.A note from J. D. Flick, of Ilockport, received last evening, says, “a terrible wind storm visited Mitchell and Fire-steel Monday night, blowing down buildings, aud several persons are reported killed and quite a number badly hurt.No wind here, but a splendid rain.”y LATER.The names of the two men killed by tho cyclone at Mitchell, whose bodies ! passed through Cantou this morning, were Smith and Luther.
