Source: June 29, 1894 Springfield Advance Press News article: CYCLONE: The oppressive sultriness of Wednesday was followed by a heavy shower and when this was nearly over in Springfield, the dread funnel shaped trailing cloud of a cyclone loomed up in the south. It moved east. All was excitement in the town as the course of the monster was eagerly watched. People were on the tops of houses and public buildings every eye strained toward the southeast. There was some fear expressed, but as the course of the cloud was away from here, apprehensions of danger were allayed, giving way to speculation as to how far away the storm was. It moved very swiftly, sometimes trailing low, to the east, when observers could see an enlargement of the cloud near the ground, then it would away and rise. The appearance of the cloud was white. Attempts to telegraph east for information were futile, showing the wires to be down. Men went east in a hand-car and several teams drove into the country. About 9:30, three men drove into town from the south. They were hatless and greatly excited. They said their house and all their buildings had been blown away. John Schwertzler, one of the men, the first he knew he was lying on a tone pile and he saw men and other objects flying past him. Mr. Gulden, one of the men was injured in the head and side, but will recover. When the passenger train from the east arrived shortly after 10 o'clock the depot platform was crowded. Station Agent Grimm and Rudolph Schmid who were among those who went east on the hand car, returned on the passenger. They reported that the track of the cyclone crossed the railroad about 3 1/2 miles west of Sleepy Eye. They found one farmstead obliterated, and the family injured. This was Mr. J. Schmid's place north of the track. Neighboring places were also seen in ruins. One man, a Mr. Mielke, is reported killed. He was going from his barn to his house when the cyclone struck and the flying timbers killed him instantly. As we go to press Thursday afternoon, only one wire is working east and reports are meager. The latest telegraph news from the east has reported six people killed in the neighborhood of Sleepy Eye. This cyclone also demolished a barn for Chas Frash in Selma and moved Silas Blackman's barn off it's foundation.
