DETAILS OF THE STORM.
Fargo Republican.
Tuesday evening about seven o'clock
an electrical storm accompanied by se-
we're rain passed over the city, and about
ten o'clock another one accompanied bv
rain and wind swept over this section.
During the continuance of the second
one there was a remarkable display of
lightning, lighting the darkened earth
almost continuously while the thunder
doomed without cessation. No damage
was done in this vicinity, but shortly
after midnight a messenger arrived from
the Sheyenne, near Norman after DIR.
Darrow, as he said that several persons
had been badly injured by the storm.
Dr. barrow returned this Wednesday
morning and from him we learn the fol-
lowing particulars: About five miles
from Norman, the appearances indicate
the track OF whirlwind or tornado about
a quarter OF mile wide which demol-
ished everything in its way. Outside of
it the shocks Of wheat were undis-
turbed. Eight buildings were blown
down, among them the house of Mr.,
A. Brunell, in which were himself and
wife and two hired men. One of the
men named Rose, was instantly killed,
and the other had several ribs broken.
MIR. Brunell was badly wounded in the
head, and Mrs. B. had her nose broken
and was considerably bruised. Every
thing. about the premises, including farm
machinery was completely wrecked. So
far as known at this writing, Mr.. Brunell
and family were the only persons injured
in person, but Of course there was de-
struction of property in the path of the
cyclone.
Mr.. G. Rupert informs the Republican
that he was coming in on the Gasselton
Branch railroad last night and was about
twenty miles north of Casselton when
the first storm struck and the hail was
quite as severe us it was here in June,
leveling the wheat, both the standing
grain and that in the shock. During the
second storm the wind at Casselton was
terrific and we hear rumor that q man
was killed near that town.
LATER-Three miles west of Horace,
Woodrutf's buildings were blown down
and his foreman had both legs broken.
Another storm OF hail, wind and rain,
reported to have struck about six miles
north of town, on Red river, about l
o'clock this morning, destroying all
standing crops.
At noon to-day, Edward Thompson,
and G. H. Ready were brought in from
the Sheyenne, twelve miles southwest of
town. William got out of the house
first, was struck by flying board and
was blown about thirty rods and very
badly injured. Edward had one of his
arms broken and Ready is badly bruised
and injured internally. Tie house was
blown down, farm machinery demolished
and horses iniured
