Remarkable Illinois Tornado near Mason City
A dispatch from Jacksonville Illinois describes a vivid tornado near Mason City last Friday morning. A dark cloud formed six miles west, then split into three smoky columns charged with electricity. The rotating path from 20 to 80 feet wide and about three miles long left all vegetation destroyed and crops scorched. The event drew hundreds of onlookers and may become a subject for scientific study.
