Destructive Storm in D.kot..

y" ~ 6UOEIu III O0k0L0,
GRAND FORKS, Oak, Special Telegram, Aug.
2O.-The severest storm of the summer swep,
over q portion of North Dakota early Sunday
morning. There is great anxiety here regard
ing the damage doue to crops. From tho best
sources of information I can say that the dam
age as q whole is comparatively small; but in
places where the cyclone struck with hail
the fields are badly hurt Reports have been
received as far west as the Cheyenne river,
south OF DEVILS lake. where hail pounded the
crops into the ground, and the damage in the
Cheyenne valley is estimated at $50, 600.
The storm passed in q northeasterly direction.
1t was very severe south Of Hump
lake, and at Mapes and Michigan
City. on the western line Of the Man
ltobs road. At Mspes several claim shanties
were blown down. North of Larimore the
storm again struck hard, and several farmers
lost nearly all their crops. Several buildinge
were blown down there and one or two persona
injured. In Gilby and Johnston townships,
twenty miles northwest of Grand Forks. hail
did considerable damage. The storm
appears to have spent itself on reaching the
Red river. On the north line of the railroad
scarcely any damage was done. No damage
was done within twenty miles Of Grafton, and
no damage south of that place ut all Wild
rumors of a terrible devastation are entirely
ungrounded. The storm has been severe in
places, but, as compared with the acreage
o over which it passed, the damage was very
slight.
